Camp 2014

Hey there!

I know I already put up a blog post yesterday (that one was scheduled because  wasn't sure if I was going to have wifi) but I was looking at the pictures camp and felt like writing a blog post about it (:

I went to France for 10 days with the youth movement I'm in (:

Now on to camp...

19 July, 4.30 am, my alarm. Time to get up!

Changing in my youth movement outfit, grab everything I need in the car and leave at 5.15 am.

We were kinda late so everyone was already there waiting for the bus to arrive. I was kinda very tired so don't really remember it in detail but the bus arrived, the kids said their goodbyes, got in the bus and the bus left right on time!

A little while after the bus left, we did too! We had a 10 hour car journey ahead of us!

Around 8 pm. We arrived at our destination and went for dinner because we hadn't eaten yet. When we left the reastaurant, the bus was nowhere to be seen yet. We don't know how but the bus arrived around 11.30 pm (they drove for 16 hours with minimal stops)

But there was pizza waiting for them at the camp house so everything was okay!

the whole group walking to the camp house (I'm the one at the right with the sweater)

20 July, 8 am, there's the music to wake us up! I wasn't ready to wake up that early yet but I'll get used to it!

We just played some games (in the theme) this day and had loads of fun! It did start to rain but we didn't care!

21 July, 7am, we had to wake up an hour earlier today because we were going somewhere. But where? We didn't know until we arrived..

When the bus arrived at it's destination we saw we were going to do 'via ferrata' (aka, rockclimbing). At first I was kind of afraid to do that because I have a big fear of falling and I start to panic when I don't know what to do. But once I started I really enjoyed it! Sometimes it was hard to place your feet and hands but it all went well and I got the feeling that I accomplished something (:

And the view was absolutely stunning!

We went back to the camp house in the afternoon and played some more games (:

Just me climbing rocks and stuff

Oh so pretty! (not the best weather but it's the view that counts)

22 July, 6.30 am, even earlier than yesterday, time to get up! We're going on a daytrip. Once again, we didn't know where we were going, the only thing we knew was that we had to wear our bathing suits. After a 3hour long journey, we arrived at Aqualand! The weather was perfect, so I had a lot of fun! The only bad thing about that day was that there was a lot of people so the queues for the slide were superlong!

Since there aren't any pictures from in the park, here's a map to give you an idea of how awesome it was

23 July, 8am, finally, the normal hour to get up! We weren't going anywhere so it would be a normal day (:

When they woke us up, they said: "Go look in the toilet, there's a hint for today's game" So we went to the toilet and found a letter in a bottle inside the toilet (nobody had been to the toilet so chill) That letter was the introduction to the game...

I guess I trusted here a bit too much.. haha

Easier than it looks

24 July, 8am, a normal day once again, at least, that's what we thougt...

When lunch was over they had some news, the two oldest group were going on a two-day trip! We had one hour to get ready, pack our backpack and go! The first day, we were going to the place where we were going to sleep by kayak and the second day we were walking home

25 July, 8.30 am, a bit too late but it felt like 5am because I barely slept. We had breakfeast and got ready to go back, by foot. But not me.. I had turned my foot the night before and it still hurted a bit. They told me that if I was going to walk with them, it would only get worse, so I had to get back to the camp house... But I did go on the group picture! Haha

26 July, 8am, normal day, with superfun games in the theme, it was hot that day so we went for a swim in the river right next to the camp house, I didn't go in the water because it was quite cold. Instead I did some stone skipping (I just learned it then). For the rest, we played games once again in the theme (:

Wow, I look so amused

27 July, 8am, normal time, normal day. Games, once again in theme (it was Dora and Diego that day so I was superenthousiastic!)

The first challenge was to collect 8 eggs by asking people (in French!) , we ended up collecting 2... Well at least we tried right? It was also very hot that day so we went swimming again, this time I went in the water as well!

 In the evening it was what we call 'free podium'. Each group prapares an act to perform (nothing too good or serious) Me and my group recreated the clip of '#SELFIE' it was lame but funny. After the free podium we all got T-shirts and had a little party (:

We also went late night swimming

They tried to push me under, they didn't succeed

28 July, 8am, the last day... I was suuuuuuuuupertired! Everybody was tired and sad to go...

Et voila, now you have an idea of how my camp has been, I had an awesome time and really miss it! I hope you liked this (rather long) post (:

See you next time!

Summer outfit ideas

Summer is one of those times when we go shopping because we feel like we need new clothes for the new season (at least I do). So I went on some clothing sites and found some really pretty things! The outfits in this blogpost aren't outfits that I own but it are definetely outfits that I will wear myself, they are also not pricey at all ('cause you know, I'm not rich or anything)!  (: 
I hope you like them and that you'll even purchase some of the items.
Enjoy (:
(If you click on the shop names it will take you directly to the item, you're welcome!)

OUTFIT 1:

This outfit is really cute and classy but still fun and cool because of the pineapple skirt. Because the skirt  is pretty tight, I chose for a bit of a looser top. The shoes are kind of an alternative to regular ballerina flats. If you're getting a bit cold you can just put on a leather jacket or a denim jacket.  
I think this outfit is perfect to wear on a night out or to a dinner. 

Top: Topshop
Skirt: Asos (River Island)
Shoes: Asos (New Look)










OUTFIT 2:

This outfit is just so girly and cute! Every girl needs at least one playsuit and one kimono. It are just the most comfortable things ever. (Except when it comes to going to the toilet, playsuits can be the worst things ever then!) Also , the white playsuit looks even more cute with a tanned skin.
Kimonos can make a plain outfit a lot cuter, they also come in really handy when it's getting a bit chillier. 
And the shoes are just sooooo adorable! I really love them. Once again, it are the regular ballerina flats with a cute twist to them (:

Kimono: Boohoo
                                                          Playsuit: Boohoo
                                                          Shoes: Forever 21

OUTFIT 3:
  
I am so in love with this one! 
The skirt is just sooooooo pretty and cute and adorable! And the top has kinda the same color as the flowers on the skirt and the white sandals match the skirt really well. I don't wanna brag but I'm just so proud of this outfit it's just really something I would wear! It's so girly and cute! And also perfect for summer!
The skirt is suuuuuupercheap btw!

Top: Boohoo
Skirt: Forever 21
Shoes: Asos (New Look)

OUTFIT 4:

This outfit is kind of basic but oh so cute! The crop top with the lace daisies is so cute! I also really like the cut of it. (they have the top in 3 different colors if you don't like pink) The shorts are high waisted so you don't show too much skin. And the shoes, I just love the shoes, the minute I saw them I was like 'I NEED THEM!' The thing about the shoes is; you either really like them or you really think they're the ugliest things ever.
I really like them and it's something different than just normal sandals (:

Top: New Look
Shorts: H&M
Shoes: River Island







There you have it, four (in my opinion) fantastic outfit ideas for the summer!
I hope you like the oufits. Let me know in the comments which one is you're favourite and if you're going to buy any of the items (:

Thank you!

Travelling

It is that time of the year again where a lot of people (including myself) go on holiday. Going on holiday comes with a lot of excitement but also a lot of stress! What do you have to pack? How much do you have to pack? I think you know what I mean (: 

Since I'm leaving for France this Saturday and am currently dealing with all these problems myself, I thouht it might be a good idea to give you a few tips (:

 The most important thing is to plan everything really well! If you want to meet up with your friends before you leave, make sure you've planned that on time (mainly so your parents won't get annoyed with you because you know, they have even more stress then you). If you have to clean your your room, do that on time so when it's time to pack, there won't be anything you need still in the laundry. (believe me, I've dealt with that!) And ofcourse it's always nicer to come home to a clean room than a messy room isn't it? (:

Now, packing! Just like everything else, start packing on time, not the night before you have to leave! Start packing at least 2 days before you leave, I know it seems a lot in advance but if you do that, you'll know if you need to buy or wash anything and you'll also be sure you've got everything with you. What I also like to do is to make a list of things I want/need to put in my suitcase, it makes me feel more sure that I packed everything I need.

But what exactly do you have to pack?

If you're going to somewhere hot, you obviously have to pack clothes for hot weather, but also 1 pair of long trousers, you never know! Also pack enough, it's better to have too much with you than to come short on something. If you're travelling with your parents, ask them if they're going to take all things hygiene (like soap, toothbrush, towels, etc.) In my familiy we always have one bag with all those things. 

Besides clothes and other necessary things, you also have to pack things to keep you busy, I usually take a few books with me to read in the sun. This year I'm also taking my laptop with me (If my parents let me) to keep my blog updated! We also take some board games and fun films with us. And ofcourse: a camera to take beautiful pictures which will later become memories (:

There you have it, I hope this post helped at least a few of you, let me know in the comments how you prepair for your holiday and where you're going this year. If you're not going anywhere, let me know where you'd like to go and what you'd pack (:

First blogpost!

Hey you!

Welcome to my blog. This is actually my second blog, you may or may not know that I started my blog on 'littlemisscato.weebly.com' , I deleted it so you can't visit t anymore, sorry! I might put up a post from there over here because I quite liked it (:

Now a bit about why I started a blog and what you can expect on here; 

The 'desire' of havinf a blog as always been there I think. I enjoy writing since I was little, I used to write short stories and I also read a lot of books. So I started a blog. On a blog I can combine my love of writing with other things I love like fashion, lifestyle etc. I didn't start this blog with the idea of being superpopular like Zoe (aka Zoella), Tanya Burr, Louise (aka Sprinkleofglitter) and co. I started this blog with the intention of sharing my experiences, thoughts and interests with the world (or at least a tiny part of it) And if my blog were ever to become very popular and succesfull, great, that means I can share things with even more people. But that isn't the main idea behind this blog. Even if I only reach 10 or 20 people I will be satisfied. Because that means I make at least them happy. I'm not saying I don't wan't my blog to reach a lot of visitors, because I do, it's just the main thought behind it (:

So, what will you find here?

A lot! My posts will go from fashion to my thoughts, experiences and maybe even about social life and lifestyle. If I say fashion don't expect a high level post. I'm not a professional stylist, I am just a teenager who likes fashion! If I go on vacation I might share my experience on here or if I do something new and exciting I'll also share that with you lovely people (:

Has that given you a good idea of what to epxect? I really hope so (:

Oh, maybe something you have to know; I am from Belgium (google it of you don't know it) so my native language isn't English, it's Dutch. So if you find any mistakes, that's why, nobody's perfect! 

That being said, I hope you enjoy the rest of my blog! Spread the word! (:

xoxo, Cato
