Summer's in the end - baby heaven's in your eyes

Bonjour !
Sorry, I was busy with school that's why I didn't post anything the last few days !
School started and as always you have to organize things and all that stuff. And if I'm busy my skin always gets oily. Fortunately , I found a product that helps me to conceal and reduce :  

Essence - Fix & matte ! translucent loose powder 




I love it !! I always apply it after my make up 'Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation'








Then I apply my favourite lipstick 'IQ - Blow up in Carmine Nr. 2'






That's what I usually wear for school. I don't need more than 5 minutes for make up.


Everytime a new year in school starts I'm totally inspired by lots of things and persons. For example : Alexa Chung for Vero Moda
I adore the Alexa's style and Vero Moda ! If I'd have the money, I'd buy everything there!
At any rate I'm very inspired and motivated for this year!

I not only try to look good at school but also to get good grades because school's very important to me.
I'm dreaming of an internship at Vogue or any other magazine as a fashion journalist. That'd be so great !!
I'm going to learn a lot and I won't have the time to post something everyday. Don't take it amiss !






The time of reading lots of books has just begun and if you don't know what to read and you aren't an enemy of books you may be interested in the following few lines.

 The first book I read in the holidays was 'The little Prince' - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. A very good friend of mine - Dzana (I love you, Darling) recommended it to me and I thought WHY NOT ? So I read it and I had high demands on the book. At the end I thought : OK ?! Everyone told me how nice the little prince was but I thought : WHAT A BIGMOUTH ! I really didn't like his figure and I explain why : He never gives up until he's got an answer, he thinks that adults are the ones who don't understand life and frankly speaking : He's a child that wouldn't have any friends in real life and everyone would think his parents would have done anything wrong with his education. In fact : Don't let you influence relating to books - assure yourself of the quality of a book.

The bottom line is that I loved the way the author wrote and it's a nice book that you'll finish reading in a few hours.

















Then I read a second book called 'Verstand und Gefühl' in German but you may know it as 'Sense and Sensibility'- Jane Austen. She's my favourite author and I adore her books and her hidden humor.
If you read a Jane Austen  you have to read it in a week. You may not forget to read it because then you can't reenter it. Believe me ! The novel was absorbing to me - I couldn't escape from this world while reading it ! It's about 3 sisters that have problems with men because there are lot of secrets and intrigues. I'd recommend it to women and girls because there's a lot about love and disappointment.









Hence , I'm going to write about books more often.

Picture of the Day : Jane Austen (1775-1817)





Lyrics of the Day : Grizzly Bear - Yet Again

 yet again, we're the only ones
No surprise, this is often how it's done
Lately, it's about all I can take
I will put an end in all these brakes 
 Shell with another crack
I'm small, but I can keep track
Too soon, everyone just step away
I'm sure this isn't the last ṗlay
Take it all and strike
Speak don't confide
Barely had a chase
It's done before we try
Stop it and deny
Does it end your phase?
Keep score even play, it feels this game
I know when I'll set her the same
If I could, I will beat it all in
No chance, to move outwards and see 


KEEP CALM AND EXPAND YOUR  HORIZONS !

A bientôt , Katharina Dorothea

foraging

Bonjour !
I already got a few questions on ask.fm/KatharinaDorothea and I'm going to answer them now :

Q#1: Do you believe in happy ending ?  

Well, difficult question ! I don't believe in happy ending if you just sit in your armchair and wait for better times. Most of the time you have to fight for a happy ending.
You also have to be confident that everything will get better then you might get a HAPPY ENDING !

Q#2: Favourite movie ?

Hard to say - I can't mention just one - there are so many ! For example : Twilight, Jane Austen filmings, Titanic,...

Q#3: How tall are you?

WHY ???? Ok, I'm 1,68 m tall.

Q#4: Do you think that money can buy love ?

No, I don't think so. Real love doesn't need money for a help. Some may think they can buy love but do they really think that the ones they bought it from really love them ? No one can be so blind to think so ! Sure, it's a positive aspect if the man/woman has the ability to offer you something but no, MONEY CAN'T BUY LOVE !

Q#5: What famous person would you like to meet ?

There are so much persons that I'd like to meet !

  • Robert Pattinson : He's such an interesting person and I'd like to get to know him ! He's a Hottie !
  • Eddie Redmayne: He's beautiful - I'd just stare at him !
  • Kate Middleton: She's one of my role models ! I love the way she talks, her style and her charisma ! She just inspires me !
  • Natasha Khan: She's the lead singer of my favourite band 'Bat for Lashes' - I love her and her music since 3 years now and I'd do everything to meet her someday !
  • Florence Welch: The lead singer of 'Florence and the Machine' is an amazing person! I'd like to ask her some things about her style ! 
  • Jane Austen: If I could make a journey to the past I'd ask her about her books and I would get to know the lifestyle of her period. 
  • Coco Chanel: Do I have to say anything ? 
Q#6: Do you prefer to eat at a restaurant or at home ?

I love to eat at home ! But for sure , it's great to eat at a restaurant sometimes !

As I surfed the internet I found some horrible pictures - as always !
There are some things I can't stand - fashion NO-GO's

NO-GO#1 : There's one thing you have to know about me : I HATE ALL THAT PINK-LEOPARD-GLITTER-PRINCESS STUFF !!! I HATE HATE HATE IT ! 
What's beautiful about them ? They're         horrible ! 


NO-GO#2 : Crowns for adults/teenager

Why do some call themselves a 'PRINCESS' when they're older than 14 ? I used to wear diadems when I was 8 but some apparently never grow up.

NO-GO#3 : Piercings

How can anyone find this beautiful ? It looks terrible ! 
Can't she just have one or two ? Imagine if she grows up and doesn't like them anymore ? She'll have ugly scars everywhere in her face ? #cantunderstand

Enough of NO-GO's for today ! 

Picture of the Day: Coco Chanel

Lyrics of the Day: Lykke Li - I Follow Rivers


Oh I beg you, can I follow
Oh I ask you why not always
Be the ocean where unravel
Be my only, be the water and I'm wading
You're my river running high, run deep run wild
I I follow, I follow you deep sea baby
I follow you

KEEP CALM AND DRINK TEA !

Bisous, Katharina Dorothea

Lyrics of the Day : Depeche Mode - Precious

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to you
We always tried to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through
Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give


KEEP CALM AND WATCH GOSSIP GIRL !

Bisous, Katharina Dorothea
