I coloured my hair. It was light brown, now it should be dark brown, but I think it's almost black. I like it though. I will show some photos later.



I have just two more songs of the day - I couldn't chose between them:

The Rollings Stones - Paint it black -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BhHTA6Gzn0&NR=1

and

Falco - Jeanny -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQg3KM8O8T0

(I can't link them, I'm not that into computer stuff :D)

Have jolly evenings, Carlie

Long time no write..

I know I am an awful blogger. But sometimes it's just like fun to blog so I won't stop it (well, not in this year)..

I'm going to see KATE NASH in August.. well end of August, the 28th to be exact.

So, I'm gonna dedicate this post to you - Kate.





That's all for now, have a good night and sweet dreams, Carlie <3

Song of the Day

Comes from Mando Diao of course.

-> Mama You've Been On My Mind

And yes, you will be now like 'Mando Diao? It's Bob Dylan, that girl doesn't know anything!!' Yes, it's Bob Dylan, but today I come up with the cover made by my favourite band <3

Listen to it, it's worth it - totally!

Freedom

.. or whatever comes when school is finished.

That's me with my prom dress which I sewed by myself. I guess, I was one of the few girls with long dresses - and with white dresses. But all in all nobody was really over - or underdressed.



But unfortunately I had so cruel belly-ache and so I did not went to the 'after-party' but in my bed.

And now. Never ever school for me <3

What a sad world we're living in. Why do people make war?! Why?! Is there any good thing on war??! NOOO, for hell no!

And the sad thing is, how can we stop that fucking thing?? How can I do something against it on my own?! On my little girlish own?! :(

I want a war-free world - and if it's just for some counted time. I can't stand war anymore, although I'm living in a safe country. (but nevertheless, it can coem to allof us :( )

I can't stand that sad news on screen or the newspapers anymore, I want the world to be safe - for all of us. As soon as possible. Therefore I would forgo on a safe money system. Why is the bank crisis much more 'important' than war/ peace?! I don't get this fucking point. I don't get it.

Love, oh, love, I gotta tell you how I feel about you

How cute was her perfomance last night, I really like her - although her English accent is way too 'wannabe British' but who cares about that?! She did an amazing job - or how Lena would say: an awesome good job. She reminds me a bit of Kate Nash, right? I love Kate, so do I love Lena :]



Have jolly days, Carlie <3

I'm baaack

.. from wherever I was. Excuse me for not posting so long - to be exact: 1 month!!

I'm still thinking how my prom dress should be, I think I'm gonna do it as easy and clean as possible. Means: white, long and some ruffles on the top - that's it. Sounds super easy, I just need some fabric.

That's how it should look like - just imagine that this dress would be very cleanish white. Très chic?!


Maybe you have some hot tipps for dresses, I am open to everything cute, fancy and easy to sew.

<3 Carlie

Hello.. again

Summer comes, for sure :) 25°C or around 20°C! I really want to look a bit sunkissed, not thaaat brownie, but lovable sunkissed. I want the sun to bleach my hair - in the natural way (but I'm not afraid helping with some chemicals ;P).

School's kinda relaxed, if you ever can say 'relaxed' together with school. In around 2-3 weeks I have my Design internship. I'm pretty excited about that :)

Now, what's a blog without pictures? Noooothing, or almost nothing. So here are some of those maxi dresses I really want to have. Maybe I'm going to sew one if I will find some nice fabric for that. But that's an idea yet.










I don't know if that's my favourite one..



.. or that one. Maybe both <3



And here, my last pic for today, a nice summer dress as well, but a short one. I love those roses on it <3



Have/ hail a sunny day,
Carlie <3

Peace and Love

Fakk! How great, how adorable is this Line-Up?! I truly need some 300 € (or more, because of flying), I want to go there :o
Just to name a few: Lily Allen, Mando Diao (!!!), Carl Norén (<3), The Kooks and so many moooore!
Just watch the pretty festival poster ->



Well, I'm going to sleep and making some plans how I can get much money in short time - haha!

Yes, what's new in my life? Two of four final exams are allready done, German and English. I can't wait for the others to be done, too.. I hate Economics and Maths, and those two stupid subjects are waiting for me on Monday and Wednesday - yuck!

Jah, I'm at the end by now, tomorrow or on Sunday more, I promise.

Carlie <3

Don't forget to wish me Luck ;)

Song of the Day

.. comes from my Swedish passion Mando Diao, let me introduce this fucking adorable song to you: If I don't live today, then I might be here tomorrow!


Take my hand of funeral flowers in white
why did you hurt me so?
You said that you never stood out
So go kiss Ann on the cheek
she's never weak
she likes the way you betrayed me
But don't forget If I don't live today, then I might be here tomorrow
If I don't live today, then I might be here tomorrow
Be here tomorrow

Watch me shine, as all the lights closes down
it's just a talent of mine
You know I die whenever I want
So go chase fortune when I'm gone
I'm guilty of reading my own past
So don't forget If I don't live today, then I might be here tomorrow
If I don't live today, then I might be here tomorrow
If I don't live today, then I might be here tomorrow
If I don't live today, then I might be here tomorrow

Rather short song, but that does not make it a bad song - not at all! It's like some part of history to me, because that song made me become a fucking Mando Diao addict and I can listen to it all day long and it keeps me smile and further on.. blahblah (my English sucks, so said my brain to me)


And, second pat of this fucking post, girl of the day: Peaches Honeyblossom Geldof.



She wears that name I really think of naming my future daughter (I'm not pregnant and I don't get pregnant the next five to seven years!) - Honeyblossom. I do like that name so much, it's so cute.

And actually, I think word of the day is fucking.. but it doesn't affects my mood, my moods a good mood today.

Carlie

And today? Shoes!

Since I recently found THOSE gorgeous 'Björn [Dixgard] so totally 2011 shoes' I really need to post about shoes. Aren't they stunning, those silvery shoes?



And here are stunning ones I found via Google:















I really really need some more.. some more.. some much more shoes :)

<3 Carlie

Song of the Day

.. comes from Amy MacDonald - the gorgeous Amy MacDonald!

I Got No Roots

Somewhere out there's a dream that's not forgotten
But this world is never stopping for me
But I will try and I will keep on trying
I set my goals there's no denying
Never stop fighting for What I believe

Many People will come and go
Many faces long last you know
Many fights, many makeups
Many kisses, too many breakups

I got no roots they're not set in stone
I got no place that I call home
I'm just a low low lonely soul

I got no roots they're not set in stone
I got no place that I call home
I'm just a low low lonely soul

And the time will come when the day is done
And the fighting's over the race is run
I don't know what I'm looking for
And this life I lead it's a curious thing
But I can't deny the happiness it brings
I don't know what I'm looking for

Many people will come and go
Many faces long last you know
I'm just a low low lonely soul

And there'll be many fights, many makeups
Many kisses, too many breakups
A low low lonely soul

I got no roots they're not set in stone
I got no place that I call home


Her new album is just W.O.N.D.E.R.F.U.L.! I love it <3
And to my situation right now, there are only around three or four weeks till my Abitur.. oh.. what the fakk. I do hope that English won't be so.. difficult.. or just not logical(ly?!) for me.. I truly want a nice nice nice mark in English.. and German as well.. and what about Maths and Economics? Weeeeell.. that's another thingles.. I think, those two - M and E - will be fucking nasty.. creepy. I'm so lucky if that's over. Then I am - hopefully - able to do some more sewing (my prom dress :o).
So, I quit for today. I am going to listen to my song of the day a few more thousand times.. well, have a nice St Patrick's Day (I went to school dressed in green ;) )

Saturday, 6th March 2010

Actually I should learn.. but there are so many things which I can do and which are much more fun than learning.. and there's Sunday, I can learn on Sunday x]

So, what did I do till now? I went to town and bougth some (too less) fabric, then - my highlight today - I went to H&M, how I love it. At H&M I bought a black lace skirt, a grey cardigan, yellow tights and purple tights and a black basic shirt.

Out of that kinda boring black shirt I wanted to make something so fancy, but actually it turned out that the shirt is too tight for me now - I could cry, because I don't know how I can repair it.. damn damn damn!!

But - thanks to all the people - I still have something which I can sew, the birthday present for my mother. It's a flowery blouse.. and I really hope that this will turn out great! :] (I think of making some photos in time)

And now - till slut - my feature of the day!
This adorable headband <3 <3

Mango

Was für ein tolles T-Shirt!

.. und es weckt wieder einmal den Selbstmachertick in mir x]

Diese hier sind aber auch nicht übel, Monsieur!

Song of the Day

.. comes from Mando Diao - the great Swedish band <3

Cinderella

I didn’t feel the old umbrella
I was was feeling my own self
I catched the old spark Cinderella
She was longing for James Dean

She was that high-heeled Girl
Which makes and twirls
And twiggy cigarettes
And all the papers they said
The Queen is dead
But she just blew my mind

And so shes dancing at the Disco
With her new pair of shoes
The guys just wanna have her
Cause she’s looking kind of cute
The tiny girl is for rent,
Got money in bed
And paper in her mind
And all the children they said
Cindy is fake
But she just blew my mind

And i don’t want no morning lights, no
I just want summer all around
I don’t want no morning lights, no
I just want summer all around

I belive in magic and I believe in space
I believe in mantras and the human race
The tiny girl is for rent
Got money in bed
And paper in her mind
And all the children they said
Cindy is fake
But she just blew my mind

And I don’t want no morning lights, no
I just want summer all around
I don’t want no morning lights, no
I just want summer all around

And I don’t want no morning lights, no
I just want summer all around
I don’t want no morning lights, no
I just want summer all around

Just listening to this song and feeling contented.. isn't that great?
Now, I have to read some Economics for tomorrow's test - luckily it's almost the last one (except the big biiig BIG Abitur).. I do not like this subject at all - after these long 3 years, I just don't like Economics! But I have to.. I have to write this **** tomorrow and then (the really last!) the big Abitur in April (I think it's teh 19th).

So, yes, I do not have anything more to say.. Oh yes, I have.. I am addicted to sewing - totally! I love it <3 (maybe my one and only Love :D)

<3 Carly

My Ruffly Ruffle Top

So yesterday I promised that I'll post my today's sewing thing - and now - TADAA - I post it with a litte Tutorial :)

First I took some booooring Tee (from target for 2 €)


Then I cut it - muhahah - just to sew a Top out of that big Tee


I also sewed this..


To ruffle it..


I really like that Ruffle-Snake (cute name hee?)


Next I placed the Snake onto the Top..


Sewed it and everything was/ is fine :)


And now I'm the lucky one wearing this fancy thing :)


Lotta Love, Carlie

Alexander McQueen

What a great man!

Therefore: What a tragedy!







<3 Carlie

(Now I'm going to sleep and then - haha - I'm going to sew something.. and yeees, I'll post the result in HERE)

Skollovet - härefter till nästa onsdag

Oh, how fine! I've got holidays.. or exactly one-week-break.

And here is a little photo of myself before going to school this morning.


I hope that I get some new fabrics because I really want to sew something cute and fancy for myself (I'm totally addicted to sewing O.o)

Hej då, Carlie

Första införande :)

(Just to say first: my Swedish is NOT on a high level, so if you see some mistakes feel free correcting me)

Så.. införing.

Jag, det är Charlotte, 19 år gammal, flicka från Tyskland. Jag älskar lyssna på musik - till exempel Mando Diao, The Pretty Reckless och med mera (I'll maybe post some songs of the day if I'm in the mood). Jag älskar sy på maskin, målar, surfa på internet, bakar och kokar och - till slut - läser böcker också.

Jag hoppas det går bra med bloggen.

Tusen kysar, Carlie.

Många varma kramar till Sverige
