my final project.


Like I promised. My project “Stories”.
This is my final project. I made my own modern adaptations of Snow white & Rapunzel based on their symbolic meaning: growing up and every aspect of being a young adult. Have a look. I’m proud.

Rapunzel.
Movie & Book
(Get to know yourself and the world)

School is over. For Good.







Yesterday was my last day at school and now it’s all over. It makes me happy and sad at the same time.
I’ll miss everyone. This last year was really a year I got to know everyone so well and I felt at home with my buddies.
I’ve been thinking about the cool stuff we did together; going out, having dinner together, going to NY, share our toughts and off course have a good laugh!

Man, I’ll really miss this.
I’m such a whoos! when it comes to this… I love them so much.

I hope we’ll see each other once in a while.
Love you.

Mondays after Weekends.


Hi folks.

It’s monday! time flies!
A few blogs ago, I told you about my balloons.
Today I washed them because they didn’t look so good. Very dirty. It took me 4 hours, just to get 250 balloons ready (they are still laying on the floor so they can dry. It was really not the most funny job 😉 You can watch the process here:





Today I also made my presentation for my masterproject. It isn’t finished yet. The print service send me a mail today, my prints wouldn’t be finished because they had some problems with the equipment. I was really dissapointed. I hope, I’ll get them by tomorrow, but they promised me so…

Here are some pictures from my weekend for you to enjoy. I had a fun weekend… going out.
enjoy.

Saturday. Dinner with Dorien & Willem.





Friday. Bar-night with some friends. Yes for cocktails!

Lafont + Biasia








I woke up with a sweet text message from my boyfriend.I Was totally happy to get up 🙂 I got even more happy when I saw this box with my own balloons in it. They arrived! Yes! Now I’ve got 500 balloons, ready to share with you. Comment if you want some 😉 After checking my favourite websites and mail, I went to the supermarket for some food for me and my family. Coming back, I just had to check my vintage store again. Guess what. I found sunglasses (lafont) and bag (francesco Biasia) again, both 1,5 euros. You can pay up to 400 euros for a bag like that! I’m going to call that little shop, my wonderbox I think. HAHA. Everytime I check the sunglasses or bags, I find some really expensive labels, just lying there, waiting for me to buy them! I took some pictures for you to share 😉

Lots of love,
Melissa

My books are ready for print and it makes my yayks! It’s up to the printing office from now on. Monday, my prints will be finished afterwards I’ll be binding the books and make covers. Excited 🙂

The last days have been pretty busy but I also took the time to enjoy the worldwideweb and watch some nice things online. Here are the things that made me pretty happy the last few days.



Art Director,photographer and illustrator Jess Bonham. Like his ideas.



Nice fashion from debydebo. A french designer.

Rik Lee. He got really nice illustrations. take a look at his wordpress (http://riklee.wordpress.com/)

I don’t know where i got this from but when I look at it, it makes me think about one of my best friends, Leen. 🙂

I was like ‘wow’ the first time I saw these cookies. check out her ‘etsy’. It’s brilliant 🙂 would love to make some (if i knew how).
