Chilling at the campus

It's the end of the academic year, and that means campuses are emptying quicker than a Dutch stadium after a lost football match! :-P

The nice thing about campuses in the summer months though is that a lot of students are chilling outside, listening to or playing music (as you can hear in the YouTube video). There is just a very relaxed vibe.. which of course is greatly enhanced after the last exams have been made. :)

This is not my campus, but it is a campus (of the Rotterdam Erasmus University) I often frequent and as I have said in a previous post, I like this university because it's a more business-oriented place where these kind of semi-formal dresses are much more common than at technical universities.

It might be a stereotype, but that doesn't make it any less true: most engineers, female or male, don't really care for wearing nice clothes and heels! :-P

Fortunately, I belong in that subsection of engineers/physicists that totally adores cute dresses! But I'm sure you already noticed that. ;-)

So, what are your summer plans? Staying at home? Visiting cool places in your own country? Or crossing the borders? I hope to do a bit of both.. and I will make sure to bring pretty clothes and shoes.. and my camera!  

With my new dedicated video camera, it's suprisingly easy to get lots of footage! If you have any suggestions/tips/feedback on what you would like to see.. just let me know!!

Heaven is a half-pipe

Some of you might know that I go snowboarding almost every year in the Alps, sometimes even twice.. visiting France and/or Austria! What almost nobody except my childhood friends knows, is the fact that when I was young kid, I had a skateboard! :)

Back then I didn't wear red Steven Madden pumps with a 5 inch heels, so I thought it would be fun to do a photo-shoot with a half-pipe to do just that! Not that skate-boarding needs glamour, though. :-P

For those wondering how I got up to that steep ramp, I will confess.. I cheated! I took off the heels, and climbed up rather ungraciously barefoot. The sun had been shining all day, so the half-pipe was really hot.. and I had to climb up real quick before my feet got cooked. :P

The rest of the day, I changed to another pair of shoes, because even though these black t-strap pumps also have a 5 inch heel.. they're way much more comfy for my usual aimlessly wandering around. ;-)

I combined the heels with a cute pink dress. I'm a sucker for cute feminine details... so I really love the lace. What do you think... red heels or black heels? And should I get a red bag?

As you can see, summer and tropical temperatures really have hit the Netherlands! This week, the thermometer is expected to hit 37 degrees and this means that I will be wearing more short dresses and skirts. So, for the time being.. no jeans! :-P 

No video material of me on a skateboard... just me walking around on the half-pipe! Enjoy!
