Robin Hood BBC~Marian's Hairstyles~

Today, Marian's hairstyles. Marian has a few of the loveliest hairstyles.

I think this is really suitable for Marian. Her hair is loose, but it is still out of her face. That's convenient and very pretty. But it doesn't suit some people. Like Kate. She had the same hairstyle...
...but she has too thin hair for it to be pretty. And she has the braid not directly after her hair. There is a space between her hair line and the braid, which is not the case with Marian. And Kate doesn't have curls. With curls it is much prettier. But we were talking about Marian's hairstyles, not Kate's.

I liked this bun very much. It was very pretty, and elegant. It seems like it is difficult to make at some points, but sometimes it looks like it is easy. And the beautiful hairpins. They are so pretty!

I really like when she has her hair loose. She has such pretty waves in her hair. And her hair has the perfect length. She also has curls in her hair sometimes.
But I think that's curled by a machine, how do you call those? But it still is pretty, very pretty.

I loved this hairstyle. I thought it was really pretty. And she had a ribbon in her hair, which made it even prettier.

This hairstyle is beautiful too. It's real simple. You have your hair loose, and put in a hairband. Done!
I would like to have this hairstyle once. But I wish I had Marian's curls. They're so pretty.

This hairstyle is very pretty. It looks like normal, that she didn't do anything with her hair. But she did. She pulled it backwards. It looks gorgeous! I would love to have this hairstyle! But I would like to have curls still, when I had this hairstyle.
I didn't like this hairstyle so much. Nothing to say about it. Only that I didn't like this that much.









Robin Hood BBC~Marian's Wardrobe~


We have just watched Robin Hood BBC(at least the first three episodes) and therefore I felt like creating a Robin Hood-themed post. Here it comes...Marian's wardrobe.

I love this dress. It has no really bright colors, but still it is very pretty. And I love the way the dress is covered by a pinafore dress(what else could you call it? Can't get on the name)that kinda stops above her knees and then goes on in a sort of veil fabric.

This dress is just ordinary plain white, yet it is very elegant. It has long sleeves and a belt around the waist. It is a lovely dress and I would wear it(if I lived in that time)too.

This is the same dress as above, only this onew has not that long sleeves and a other belt. But it is made even more prettier by the cape. The cape is very pretty and suits her dress well. Also that broche(is it a broche?) is very lovely.

I am not very fond of the color orange, but Marian suits it well(except her face looks a bit pale here, but maybe that's just the photo or something). The...how should I say that?...big necklace around the neckline is very pretty and it adds more elegancy to the dress.

Personally this is not my favourite dress. The style is definitely her style, only this dress is more manly, less feminine. And less colourful. green and white and grayblue...It is very suitable as camouflage-dress in the forest, but of course she wasn't in the forest with Robin's gang yet.

The outfit of Marian as ''The Nightwatchman'' is very nice. It has long boots, and a really long cape. She has a sword hanging on her belt, but she doesn't use that, it's just for safety. Marian is having a new identity by this costume, helping the poor and fighting against injustice. That's what I like about this costume too.

This dress is simple, but one of my favourite, and although it is not Marian's dress, she wore it. So I picture it as a dress of her. The shoes she wears with the dress are pretty and elegant, but still they're just simple. And the blue and white prints are very nice.

I never wear red, because it makes my face seem pale. But I love this dress. The cloth seems to be silk or something like that. The decorations around the neck line and the waist are very pretty and the long sleeves too. I like long sleeves. They make the dress different and prettier.

This is a pretty dress, really pretty. But I don't like it. Because it reminds me of Marian's death all the time. And then the scene repeats in my head. And I get sad. That's why I don't like the dress. I mean, the dress is pretty, but it reminds me of that last scene of season 2, where everything collapses. I hoped during the whole scene, that something wonderful would happen. That miraculously Djaq could heal her or that she just fainted. I wished so hard for that to happen, like the first time Marian ''died''. But she died. She really died. And the whole season after was dark, and sad, and less colourful without her. So that's why.


I kinda liked this. Reviewing costumes, dresses. Maybe I'll make a part 2...and I want to make one about hairstyles. Marian's hairstyles.

It's my birthday!

It's my birthday today! 20 november 2016. I am another year older. But I don't mind at all. With every year you grow older, you grow wiser and more sensible. We don't celebrate our birthdays big here, no friends invited or a lot of food. Normally we just hide the presents for the birthday boy(or girl) and open the presents(thank everyone of course), and have cake. We had chocolate-blueberry muffins instead(which I made myself). And the presents are always great! This time I really had no idea what my presents would be. I had a bicycle for my birthday(but we bought it a month ago,because I really needed a new bicycle)from my parents. And my youngest siblingd(4,7 and 9) gave me self-made drawings and jewels(so cute). And I had cards from them and from my aunt and my grandparents. I also had drawing stuff(because I draw quite a lot), fineliners and pencil erasers. They're like pencils, only then you can erase things, little things, with it. In case you didn't know;)
 I think pencil erasers is not actually the correct translation, though. And most surprisingly, I had a note book where I can write in a lot(from my older brother) (Which I absolutely love), and...
I just thought I'd made a photo of it, so you can see how it looks like. Really nice :)
...my own(MY OWN!!!) sample of all three seasons of....


                                                  ROBIN HOOD!!



My two older sisters gave it. My siblings really know what I like.
Just so you know I am talking the truth :P
It has a lot of DVD's in it, with a lot of characters on the DVD's. On the front is Robin Hood(as you can see :)) and on the back is...guess what? Kate. KATE! I mean, why Kate? She's not that important, right? Actually she is really NOT an important character to me. Why didn't they put Marian on it? Marian is far more in the series than Kate, two seasons! She deserves to be on the back. But I'm still very happy with it, don't understand me wrong. I still love that I have a own sample of Robin Hood BBC. I couldn't believe it when I opened the present! So, I had a wonderful birthday-morning. And it's my birthday, so I can choose a movie tonight(maybe episode 1 of Robin Hood).

Header Choice

I counted the votes of everyone, and it seems that header 2 has by far the most votes.
Now, the only thing I have to do, is to put the header on my blog and find a nice background. Have a lovely day!

Header

I've decided I'll change my header about every month. I made 7 headers, which is quite a lot more than usually, so I'll choose four and the other three will be for the next time. It was actually harder to choose only four headers from seven than I expected.



1.

2.

3.

4.



Well, the choice is all yours! As usual, the header with the most votes, will be the chosen header for my blog, with a background that fits the colors.

Time flies

I love this picture. The clock shows you have time, the almost broken string that time is precious and doesn't last forever.
I can't believe that it is already almost winter! Time flies and you can't stop it. The sunny and warm summer has turned into a windy and cold autumn, now following by icy cold winterdays. Not that I don't like winter, I do. But our winters(the winters in Holland) are just cold, and rainy(really a lot of rain). No snow. I wish we had snow here in Holland. I love winters with lots of snow. But we haven't had snow here for a long time. My brother, two sisters and I used to play in the snow, make snowmen. Have snowball fights. A lot of things. Now it didn't snow in Holland for two, three years. Sometimes, if we were lucky, we'd go to our grandparents(where there sometimes is snow). Or sometimes it would snow here, but the next day or even shortly after the snow fell, the snow was already melting, or it was raining again. But I have lost track. I was talking about time. Yesterday I slept until eleven o'clock. Can you believe it!? Eleven o'clock? Really? That is the longest time I've ever slept. I mostly sleep until half past nine, nine o'clock, or half past eight. But that day was different. I was tired. And in winters, you have short days, where the light must go on in the morning if you want to make breakfast, and the lights turn on five o'clock in the evening. I can't sleep when it's light. In summer I don't fall asleep soon. Because it is hot and because it is still light. In winter I sleep a lot, because it is cozy and warm in your bed, and because it is still dark.
Time is valueable. You need time for everything you do. If you are working, you need time to finish it. You need time to think about a problem and think of a solution. You need time for making things, learning things, waiting for things. You need time to know when you have to do this and when you have to do that. You need time to get enough rest and sleep. You need time for almost everything. You cannot erase time. If you did something, you can't turn back or just erase that thing of your...let's say schedule. Wishing you could turn back time...you read that a lot in books. But you can't. You can't turn back time. Time has its own way. You can't change it. Yesterdaynight, when I was in my bed, I kept thinking of how odd it is than you don't realize you sleep 24 hours when you are asleep. You don't even know when you fall asleep. It's really strange. It seems like time is over in just a blink, but actually you sleep one whole day...or when you're in a train...time seems to go really fast. Or when you watch the clock when waiting for something. Then everything goes really slow. 



''Time is very slow for those who wait. Very fast for those who are scared. Very long for those who lament. Very short for those who celebrate. But for those who love, time is eternal.''
