Favorites from 2014!

Happy new year! 

To look back on 2014, I am doing a post about my favorite books/movies/music from 2014. For this blogpost, it’s not important if the books (for example) are written in 2014, it is important if I have read them in 2014. The same goes for the movies and the music :)

So, let’s begin with the books.

I’d like to start off with The Fault In Our Stars. What a wonderful book! This is definitely one of my favorite books ever.

I also read the Divergent series last year; divergent, insurgent & allegiant. Though I don’t quite like the ending of allegiant, I still love the series. It’s a good combination of love & “adventure”. 

Last summer, I read The Carrie Diaries & Summer And The City. I loved both of them. They’re not extremely special or anything, but just nice books to read when you’re bored :) 

Lastly I want to mention City Of Bones, the first book from The Mortal Instruments. I’m not recommending the whole series just yet, since I haven’t even finished the second book, but I’m pretty sure I will when I’ve read all of them. It took me a while to really get “into” City Of Bones, but when I did, I couldn’t stop reading. 

So, let’s get to the movies! :)

My favorite Disney movies last year were Frozen and Tangled. I actually liked Tangled even a little bit more than Frozen to be honest. Tangled is from 2010 or something like that, but I hadn’t seen it before. Both of the movies make you feel happy about the ending :) 

Then there is The Fault In Our Stars, based upon the book. Wow. What an incredible movie! I’m glad they didn’t change much about the story. 

I saw The Notebook just a few days ago, but it immediately is one of my favorite movies ever. It’s just a beautiful love story! If you haven’t seen it yet, you should definitely watch it some time soon! 

Another movie with Rachel McAdams in it — she’s also in The Notebook — : About Time. Also a love story, even though this one is completely different: this one includes traveling back in time! :)

Divergent, based upon the book, is also one of my favorite movies from last year. I can’t wait for Insurgent! 

Easy A was a movie I saw on Netflix and I just thought like, “Okay, let’s watch this one, it’s probably funny,” but I liked it better than I expected I would! I watched it twice :) It’s a movie in the genre of Mean Girls. Completely different though, but it’s that kind of girls-night movie :)

My favorite music from last year: 

Justin Bieber was definitely my favorite artist last year, but he’s probably my favorite artist ever, so that can’t be a big surprise. I listened a lot to his Music Journals & his album Believe last year. 

I also kind of “discovered” Marina and the Diamonds, and I’ve been listening to her album “Electra Heart”. 

I also loved Taylor Swift’s new songs “Shake It Off” and “Blank Space”.

2014 was also the first year I started listening to Arctic Monkeys, I loved their album “AM”. 

It was also the first year I started listening to The Pretty Reckless (due to Gossip Girl, since Taylor Momsen had Jenny’s role, and I knew Taylor had a band now, so I wanted to check her music out :)). I like their songs Blame Me, Heaven Knows, Messed Up World & You.

I’ve also been obsessed with Heartstrings for a while, Leighton Meester’s newest song. 

I loved the songs Birdy made for The Fault In Our Stars, especially Not About Angels. The other song she made for TFIOS is Tee Shirt. It’s beautiful as well. 

That was it for this blogpost! I hope you liked it :) What are your favorites from 2014?

Nooooooo! Gossip Girl is over :’(
Seriously, that show was like my entire life. Though I was really looking forward to the last episode, because then everything would work out, I also feared it, because then Gossip Girl would be over. Which it is now…
Still, I don’t want to make this into a sad post. I’d rather celebrate the existence of the show :) So I just decided I’d do that by telling you my favorite Chair (Chuck + Blair) moments (spoiler alert ;)).

Here they are:
1. When Chuck “returned”, gave Blair presents from all over the world, AND FINALLY TOLD HER HE LOVED HER <3. Nothing could ruin my night :)

2. When Blair finally chose Chuck over Louis, in the limo <3.
Of course, my happy moment ended when the car crashed :’(

3. When Chuck asked Blair to marry her. I know it wasn’t the most romantic moment to do it, but still.

4. When they had a child in the “five years later” part! The way the child run into Chucks arms, saying “daddy!”. Awwww!

5. And also a lot of short moments when they had that pact, and Chuck said “no,” and sweetly kissed her on her shoulder or something <3

Of course there are so much more, but this post can’t go on forever.

What’s your favorite Chair moment?

You know you love me,

Favorite movies and TV-series

Autumn is coming, and everyone knows it. It’s a fact, and it makes some people, like me, very happy. It also makes some people kind of sad. I want to make everyone’s autumn a little better, even if you already like autumn (yay! :)). It’s the time for watching movies all day, baking cake, drinking hot chocolate, wearing sweaters. If you don’t know which movie you should watch, this is the post for you, cause I am going to share my favorite movies and TV shows with you :) 

Favorite movies:

- The fault in our stars, I don’t think I need to tell you what it’s about, haha :)

- Clueless, a romantic movie about popular girls and a makeover. Do I need to say more? :)

- Notting Hill, the ultimate romantic movie about a love between a famous actress and a random guy from Notting Hill.

- Divergent, just like ‘the fault in our stars’ I don’t think I need to tell you what it’s about :)

- High School Musical, perfect for a girls night :)

Favorite TV shows:

- Gossip Girl, oh my god, I LOVE that show! It’s about rich teenagers in New York, and way more interesting than it sounds :)

- New Girl, it’s just really funny :)

- Modern Family, also really funny, AND very ‘real’, if you know what I mean.. :)

I hope you’ll have fun watching these, and that you’ll have a wonderful autumn :)

heeey :)
Today I just wanted to talk about a few things I’ve been loving recently :)
Let’s start with the Daisy Dream bodylotion, by Marc Jacobs. *OMG I HAVE THE DAISY DREAM BODYLOTION*. So, about that. Seriously, it smells like heaven. I just really love this body lotion, even though I’m not the body lotion kind of person. If you know what I mean. 

Then, the British ELLE collections magazine. This is like a special edition of ELLE, and I really like it. There are cute stickers in the magazine and the lay-out is super-duper cool, I think ;)

Let’s go on to the next one: Starbucks. Of course, I already liked Starbucks, but the past few weeks, I love it even more. Sometimes, I go with my best friend to Starbucks and we call ourselves Serena and Blair, this is really fun :) (only fans of Gossip Girl will get this..— oh, I am Blair by the way ;))

Also, I got the notebook One Line A Day for my birthday. You’re supposed to write one line, every day, five years long. I think that’s a great idea, and it’s also a beautiful book, so I am really happy with it ^^

I love my eos. I bought two of them in New York *omg* and I just really love them. The round shape looks cool, and they smell great. This one is “pomegranate and raspberry”.

My Fujifilm Instax Mini 8. Whoa. You heard me? I FINALLY HAVE THIS CAMERA YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! This is another birthday present and it’s the best birthday present I ever got. I just wanted this camera for só long, and now I finally have it! I love to see the picture appearing when you take a photo. It just makes me so happy. 

So, that was about it! I hope you liked this post!

Every time I hear a beautiful line in a song, or I read one in a book, or whatever, I write it in my notes on my phone. You could also write them in a nice notebook — that’s even better, I think. Because, after a year or a few months, you have like a really nice collection of (inspirational) quotes.
The quotes you see above are a few of my favorites :)
I know this is a very short post, but this was just something I wanted to share with you. Please let me know if you’re going to do this!
