Let your heart speak

You see, there are many things we cannot understand and I think that is the beauty of life: The fact that we don’t know things. It’s a twisted mind who thinks that everything is explainable by science. Trying to explain love just by a chemical reaction of hormones, takes away the mystery and the beauty of it all. Just like you can’t understand déjà-vu and  near death experiences, so can’t you understand the reaction of your heart on that particular person. It’s a feeling, it’s a joy, it’s a mystery – and it should stay one.

Warm fashion

Since it's getting colder and darker everyday, you'll have to dress a bit more warmly. But how in the name of God can you pull on enough sweater to not freeze to death and still look decent to saw the least.

It's a dilemma that returns every winter. 

Today I'll try to help you out. I'll show you some pics and give you some tips.

Winter doesn't necessarily mean that you have to wrap yourself up in all the cloths in your closet. 

It allows you to wear stuff you couldn't wear trough the year. Scars, gloves, Uggs, warm hats, sweaters, turtle-necks, earmuffs,... 

I find hats sometimes annoying, so the perfect selution is a pair of earmuffs :)

Go for the cuteness-factor, hats with ears are warm,soft,trendy and this one even keeps your hands warm!

Hats come in on bad-hair-days too.

Love, nass

A sunny winter

Hello there, it's been a while.
We didn't write AT ALL lately. So sorry, we actually have no this time.
Busy? Maybe busy being a teenager with a school life and friends.
Buuuut, we're back (again). So let's jump into it :D.

It's already November, time sure does fly. It feels like it was just yesterday when I was tanning on the beach, sleeping late, wearing shorts and eating ice cream.
Now it's rainy, gray, cold and windy. The trees are losing their leafs, it gets darker faster, people have the winter blues and you just CAN'T get out of your comfy, warm bed.
But the cold days can be beautiful, enchanting and romantic too. You just have got to open your eyes and wear your most gorgeous and sunny smile. Before the leafs fall, they first change colours, you can now finally wear all those cute hats and sock you've bought, you can enjoy the magical white landscapes soon, you can snuggle up in blankets and drink hot chocolate while watching your favourite films and don't forget the holidays! The cosy Christmas eve. Eating with your family, unwrapping presents, giving presents, decorating,... New year, drinking champagne, wearing a beautiful dress, using your best make up skills, drinking champagne, partying with your friends, a new start and the best of all the spectacular count down followed by sparkly, colourful fireworks.
Feeling the spirit yet? While thinking about that enjoy these outrageous pictures :)!

Love, Nass

Photoshoot II

I haven't told you this yet - but I love taking pictures. Unfortunately, we forget a lot of things. A lot of special moments and a lot of the beauty of life. We remember the bad things that happened to us, but we forget the good ones. For me, taking pictures is providing memories from getting lost. It's capturing the good moments in life. Moments that make you smile when you look back at them. This is another photoshoot I did with one of my best friends Riet. I hope you like it! 

 This is me.

 Riet and I.

Love, Tina.

Goodbye doesn't mean we will never meet again

I’m not telling you goodbye. It’s not like we will never see each other again, right? I can see by the tears streaming down your face that you think so. To you this is the end. To you I’m leaving and you’re ending up alone. But I’m not. I’m only giving you space, giving you the tools to grow, to learn and to live. To live a life that is not dependable of me. To live one of your own and when you will have achieved that, I will come back.
You look at me with those eyes. Those dark brown eyes, filled with pain, hate and misunderstanding. Filled with tears and loneliness and fears. Filled with a ripped image of you and me.  I can see that you try not to cry. You try to show me how strong you are – don’t do that. I know you’re not strong. I know that deep inside you are a scared little puppy hiding under the couch, not willing to come out. Not willing to face the world and fight reality. You’d rather cry and hide, than fight and stand up again.
I’m not judging you, not at all. I understand it. I understand the fear and that’s why I’m leaving. I’m leaving because thanks to me, you are still hiding under that couch. I fight your battles. You should fight them yourself. Little by little get out of that dark space you’re in and step into the light. Don’t close your eyes, don’t turn away from it. Accept it, embrace it, breath it.
You’re still looking at me. You try to show me how bad I am for leaving you, how much I hurt you. But it’s not touching me, it’s not making my heart bleed because I know I am doing the right thing. I tried to explain it to you, I tried to show it, write it, I tried everything, but you only see what you want to see. It is absolutely useless to try to explain myself. The only thing I can do now is pack my bags, put them in my trunk, get in the car and drive away.
When I look in my mirror, I see you fall again. I hope this time, you have enough strength to get back up.  Alone.

Love, Tina.

This is a little poem I want to share with you. I have absolutely no idea who wrote this, but I think it's quite cute!

Love, Tina.
