Get Ready With Me: Going to The 1975 Concert in Amsterdam

Almost 2 weeks ago I went to see The 1975 in Amsterdam. The concert was amazing and I really enjoyed it a lot. To share a bit of my experience there, I filmed a Get Ready With Me video and also inserted some Snapchats at the end in case you want to enjoy the moment with me. I always love to watch these quick videos so I hope you really like them too!

I am also back on YouTube so if you want to see more videos then you should hit that subscribe button! :)

Do you listen to The 1975? What is your favourite song?

Vlog #2: London 2015, EMA Pre-Party & Forever 21 opening

Last week was a week full of events. On Monday I went to the MTV EMA Pre-Party in Amsterdam. I was part of the press team and I was right beside the red carpet. It was so amazing to experience an event like that and I had a lot of fun!

On Wednesday I had a photoshoot for Fashionista magazine (I am an intern there). I got to do such cool and amazing things that I will tell you all about when the time is ready! After the shoot I rushed into central Amsterdam for the Elite Model Look finale, which was so fun to watch! I was very underdressed though, since I just came back from the photoshoot. Picture this: guys in suits and ties, women in fancy gowns and then there is me: the girl who is wearing black skinny jeans, a chunky jumper and a grey scarf. Not the best look, but oh well!

Then on Thursday I went to the opening of the new Forever 21 store in Rotterdam, which was again SO COOL. Normally I sit behind my laptop, typing away as I do, but this week was just so awesome and fun and I can't wait to show you the things that I have been doing!

For now I have a little vlog where I show you my week and some clips from my last holiday – basically one day - to London. I vlogged the entire MTV EMA Pre-Party - I even talked to my phone in public in the busiest street in Amsterdam EVER - and my editing software decided it wasn't a good idea to import those clips to the video. Anyways, I still hope you enjoy this little clip of my life and I will be back to regular videos soon!

The London Instagram Round-Up

As you know from my Instagram round-up post: I LOVE Instagram, so when I went to London I planned to take lots of photos. It didn't go quite as planned, as you would have read here, but while I was running around, shopping and taking naps on the plane, I did take some photos.

I always like to see these kind of lifestyle posts, so here is my day in London! I also did this the last time I went to London, which you can see here!

Fun Times in the City

The last two days have been full of activities. I love to catch up with my highschool friends, especially since I don't see them as much as I used too. And what better than to catch up in the city that I love? From a very young age I fell in love with everything that is Amsterdam. Going to the theatre, shopping trips with friends or just a stroll down the canals, I was, and still am, up for everything in the city. Nowadays I usually just take the tube and go to school, so it is nice to be out and about and little by little explore the city.

On Thursday me and my friend went to Artis Amsterdam Zoo. As students in Amsterdam we get a major discount, so it was nice to catch up while walking through the zoo on the hunt for penguins. I also went a bit crazy in the aquarium, because I was on the hunt for clownfish, aka Nemo. The fact that I heard several kids say, 'Where is Nemo??' literally shows that my inner child took over me there.

Last night I had a birthday party to attend at House of Bols, which is a cocktail and genever experience in Amsterdam. I love birthday parties, because they are an excuse for me to dress up and experiment with my make-up. I had a blast sipping on my strawberry and vanilla cocktail. I normally don't really drink, but when you go to an experience like that you just have too! We also explored the night life of Amsterdam around Leidse square, which, for a granny like me, was surprisingly fun! 

Tucked up into bed at 3.30 AM is the result that I had a pretty good night and I should definitely do this more often. Only one thing: I will leave my heels at home, because my feet were not very happy with me dancing around all night!

My Life | One Direction Where We Are Concert Amsterdam

Two days ago was thé day for me and my friends. We went to the One Direction Where We Are Concert in the Amsterdam Arena. Now I am not your typical 1D fan. In The Netherlands One Direction is sort of a band for 14 year old girls, who scream, draw their names all over there face and go crazyyy when they see them. Me on the other hand.. I am the opposite of all that 'fans going wild' stuff. I just like their music and do think they are very cute, but I leave my obsession there. No posters, no stalking and NO fights with other fans on Twitter. Anyways since I am 20 (huge gasp) it’s maybe a bit weird to see a boyband that has a young audience, but we (me and my three other friends) don't give a damn and are still going to the concert with all the 12-year olds. Yep, we are that cool, lol.

The day itself was a bit crazy for me. I was in a rush to get there, because I had my internship and a resit that I had to take that started at 16:10-17:50. The concert started on 18:00, so you see my problem? I wasn't happy when I found out about that. I made the exam as quickly as possible and rushed to the arena that is 15 minutes away when you take the tube. I did not want to miss 5SOS, so there I went, in my pineapple skirt and buckled sandals. Only I would pick an outfit like that, when I know I am in a hurry. The test went oké, at least I hope haha. Otherwise: good luck next year with taking it again Mar, as I am thinking in my head :P. 

Lucky for me the concert started later, so I hurried up for nothing. I met my friends at the nearest McDonalds which was sooo busy. They already ate so I just ate four, healthy, date bars and hoped it would be enough. I also had hopes to buy some cheeky food, a sandwich or fries hmmmm, at the train station when we were going home. Unfortunately due to craziness to get on the platform and in the train I didn't make a pit stop to get some yummy food. 

The fun thing was that everyone was in orange. Oké not everyone, but al lot of people were. Orange is our national colour. At football, and now with the World Cup going on, we go crazy with orange hats, paint etc. The boys love football, so they asked everyone to come in orange last year at their concert. Same goes for this year! I was wearing a bold, orange lip, so I was kind of orange.

I loved all the songs they played before the show! I am hooked on Olly Murs now! I can't get 'Dance With Me Tonight' out of my head! When 5 Seconds Of Summer came up I was really excited. To be honest I only knew 'She Looks So Perfect' which is one of my favourite songs at the moment! So there was not a lot of singing involved except the moments they sang 'Teenage Dream' and 'She Looks So Perfect'. I really liked there performance and should maybe download there new album? :). 
At 8:45-9:00 it was finally time! The people, mainly girls, went crazy. I think I never heard such loud yelling in my entire life. The boys came up and it was just unreal. I really liked there performance even though, due to our seats, we could not see and hear everything loud and clear. I mainly followed the concert on the big screens. Besides that it was an amazing concert and such an amazing experience! The boys where lovely and performed really well. I took some pictures with my phone, not the best quality though... I will keep the videos for myself, since there is some really bad and loud singing involved. I recorded one of my favourite songs 'Little Things', but now I can't enjoy it because you hear me screaming the lyrics and my voice goes all weird. 

I also thought I would be deaf and lose my voice for two days. Luckily that didn’t happen even though today my voice started to get weird. Lots of green tea with honey will solve that problem!

Anyways, I loved the performance and would go again if I could. I actually would have wanted to go to the second show in Amsterdam, but I didn't :(. Till next time boys, but then maybe a bit closer to the stage! :)

My Life | Justin Timberlake 20/20 Experience Concert 2014

Last Friday me and a friend went to the Justin Timberlake 20/20 Experience concert in Arnhem.  If you’ve read my Beyoncé Concert post from almost a month ago you will think huh another concert?! They just all seem to take place in the same period of time haha.

I was really excited, mainly because we had really good tickets. We were standing at the front separated from the rest of the crowd. I could almost touch him!!

Justin started on time, which hardly ever happens nowadays. This was already a plus for me. He sang a lot of old hits and also new numbers from his 20/20 experience albums. My Love, Senorita, Mirrors, Tunnel Vision and my personal favourite: Let The Groove Get In. He all sang them.

I already liked Justin before I went to his concert but after his performance... OMG I just love him so so much. His dance moves are to die for and he sang really good live. There was a small break in between the show, but that didn't spoil the fun. I have never been so close to the stage before so it was amazing! It was a really long show as well. It started at 20.30 and ended at 22.45. The tickets were really expensive, but it was all worth it. It was a good show, very entertaining and Justin was just amazing! It is all a bit of a ramble this post haha.

The photos will give you an impression of the night ;).
