i am keeping it...

i received my leather jacket this morning :o so fast... i've expected it after christmas... lucky~



the jacket is slightly loose on me... but i decided to keep it. cause with it being a bit loose, i can wear a chunky knit under it, to keep me warm during this winter. And also, during the less colder seasons, i can just wear it open...



other than how it fits, this jacket is just like i've expected it too be... :) and i am also happy with it's weight, it's not too heavy ^^

wow, ron blaauw! ★★

to be honest, i haven't heard of ron blaauw before... but wow... his food is amazing. he filled my tummy with heavenly food. let the pictures help me tell my food story.


this was the appetizer, made of cucumber and lemon grass... very thai-ish... and a perfect fresh start.


first dish, is this perfectly smoked salmon with a poached egg... it was presented with a glass cover filled with smoke... it smelled really nice and the presentation was... just... wow...


second dish, was a plate filled with seafood... really liked the shrimps... they tasted semi raw... loved it... everything was editable... even the scary looking black cocoon looking thing... the shrimps heads and the beautiful pearly looking shell.


third dish... at the left, the back looking block is beef (if i'm not mistaken)... can't recall what everything else is... but it tasted so well all together.


fourth dish... at the left, is beef with sauce made of liver. At the top is a pastry filled with soft meat. the white rounds are kohlrabi and pear (if i'm not mistaken). and at the right side... there is foam made out of horseradish and a caramelized hazelnut...

i forgot to take a picture of my first desert... it was a very thin cookie cone, filled with hazelnut cream. On top there was a scoop of orange sorbet coated with white chocolate and sprinkled with scrunched hazelnut on top... this desert has a little surprise at the end of the cone... it has small chocolate sprinkles, the sprinkles gave a sparkling (maybe not the right word, but i can't think of another word for it now) sensation. the sensation really brought me back to the time, when i was little... the sparkly/cracking chewing gum that i loved, when i was a kid...


second dessert... a carrot dessert... carrot icecream, foam made out of ginger sorbet and chocolate sauce. the carrot is actually made out of chocolate... i'm not sure what's inside the carrot though... (the little brown drops reminded me of hamster yogurt drops/candy... if you have owned hamsters, you'll probably know what i am talking about XD).


third dessert, is a coffee dessert, with baileys ^^ i'm not really a alcohol lover, but this was heavenly great...


after the desserts, we had some after snacks... the tea tasted a bit floraly... it was so nice... and the snacks in the box... the piece of sausage, was actually dried fruit (tasted like dried cranberries and dried raisins... or something alike)... the cheese, which i expected to be a piece of salty cheese, was actually a piece of cheesecake filling... and lastly the croquette ball (which we call bitterbal)... was caramel with nuts coating...


and after all the eating, we received ron blaauw's cooking books as a christmas present from our bosses... ^^ how nice...

are you hungry yet? XD

merry christmas (in advance, in case i don't blog again before christmas...) ^^

let's hope it fits...

i've been looking for a leather jacket for over a year now... but i've seen so many and tried so many, none i really liked or fit me well...

so as my search continued, i stumbled upon this leather jacket by replay... (it looks better in real life,) and i really like how feminine but though at the same time it looks... but before i knew the jacket went on sale... and when i finally have found it in the stores, my size was sold out :(

i didn't gave up... and continued my search... and i found another one, that (i think) i really like... i found it online at zalando.nl, this store is like heaven...

but... this is it... it's half off... and it's in "my size"... but i'm not sure how it will fit, so let's hope it just does.

i really like the side zipper... the starry cutout details on the collar... and the tight looking fit...  i'm just not so sure about the length of the jacket... hope it isn't bellybutton short... XD

my new love...

i have a new tool to create a slight volume, which is pretty long lasting... ^^ it's my new mini crimper. i use it to crimp the part of my hair near my scalp... and have the upper layers covering the crimped hair. the structure that the crimper creates, also makes it possible for me to tease my hair, if needed... i just simply love it.

• the crimper has ceramic plates for even heat distribution. 
• it heats up to 200 celcius.
• it needs around 1 min to heat up.
• it's small, 15cm only.
• it has a on/off switch with a light indicator.

other than the fact, that it works on my stubborn thick and heavy hair, i like the crimper because it's small and light weight... and the green tiger print is pretty cute as well.

of course nothing is totally perfect. the cord doesn't have a swivel cord... and there is nothing to keep the crimper closed.

other than that i got nothing to complain, it's cheap and it works ^^

for if you're wondering... the crimper is by the brand remington, and the crimper is called my mini handbag crimper S2950ZB...

and... no this post is not sponsored or what so ever. i bought the crimper here.
i payed € 22,78 incl. shipping. ^^
