Hey peeps!
It's almost saturday and saturday is the day I'm going to the Elite Model Look Contest. Now, a couple of things have changed. I was thinking about going June 29th because then the exams are already over, but yesterday I changed it back to this saturday. I want to get it over with it cause I'm so nervous! The contest will also take place in Antwerp instead of Genk.
Because of the last-minute changes I didn't get the time to do the things I mentioned in the last post. I still way my 63 kilos, which is of course too much, I know. I will sport every day untill saturday and folow a strict diet. I don't think it's going to help much on my weight, but it's definitely going to help me feel better and that's important too! Practicing my posing and my walking is definitely a must and I will do this everyday.
I am so excited and so anxious at the same time! I really don't know what to expect.
Thumbs up, peeps! And I hope I can give you good news in the weekend!
xoxo

Elite Model Look Contest
Dear readers,
After much deliberation I decided to participate in the Elite Model Look Contest. Elite Models is one of the most important and famous modeling agencies of Belgium. I have thought about it for many months, but today I finally signed up for it.
I'm so excited, but also sooooo nervous! The casting will take place saturday May 18th in Genk, Limburg so I have 3 weeks to prepare for it!
What I would like to achieve for I go to the casting:
- To exercise and fitness, a lot!, so I lose a kilo or two
- A healthier lifestyle by taking lots of fruits and vegetables
- To take care of my face so it will be beautiful and healthy by then
- Practice my walk and my posing
Hopefully I can count on your support!
Lots of love,
Elien

What a day!
Hey peeps!
You know those days that really start sucky but then something happens you hadn't seen coming in a million years? Today it was one of those very rare days!
This afternoon I joined my boyfriend, Stephen, to a casting of an advertising agency named Square Melon. It's a company that specializes in making a brand more famous and bringing it closer to the consumer and they try to achieve this by doing a lot of promotions.
When we walked in the waiting room I saw there were a dozen others who were also waiting to participate in the casting. After a few minutes a guy came in and took everyone, including Stephen, upstairs to a room to start the casting. I was left alone in the room to wait untill my boyfriend was done.
Then fate came along: a girl who was to late for the casting entered the waiting room and asked where everyone was. I said they were already upstairs so she went for a staff member who could guide her to the others. When that guy came in he said to the girl he would escort her AND he asked me if I also was there for the casting? I said "no, I would like to but I am not registered, so I'm just waiting for my boyfriend". To which he replied: "Just come along and participate in the casting!" I was so excited but so nervous at the same time! I just really couldn't believe I was this lucky!
When we entered the room I saw the astonished face of Stephen and the presentation powerpoint started. It was a short introduction of the company and the staff and what they expected from us in the futur. Now came the most frightening part. Still not able to believe all that was happening, I had to take part in an interview, for which I didn't even had the time to prepare! Luckily it was an interview per three so I was more at ease.
As third group we were next in line when all of a sudden a women came and called us into her room to do the interview. At first sight she looked really scary and severe but she was actually a very friendly woman. The conversation went great, we just had to say a few things about ourselves like hobbies, studies, ... and she concluded we had the perfect profile for the job. Soooooooo she asked if we would like to enter the Minute Maid promo team and if we were able to come TOMORROW already for a briefing of a job!!! My answer: fuck yeah!
So I think everyone could agree it was one of those very special days! I went to the company to sit in the waiting room for an hour but instead I have a well-paid student job that starts tomorrow. Thank you lord!

Home and sick
Hi readers,
I know it has been an awfully long time! Last monday I went on a trip to Gent to prepare a summer volleybal camp as an attendant. For the past couple of days I came up with a bunch of cool games with my friends, ate and drank a lot and more important had loads of fun! We went paint balling which ended up in a blue spot on my bum hurrah!
Now I'm home and I'm lying sick in my bed. Hopefully I will be back on my feet soon.
Lots of love,
Elien

Leighton Meester
Dear readers,
I would like you to meet one of my greatest examples: Leighton Meester. I think she is a gorgeous young woman, who appears quite normal. Let me clarify that.
Leighton is probably best known for her role in Gossip Girl, which is by the way a television series I really like! According to my opinion she had to "compete" with Blake Lively, who was the most beautiful girl in the show and who was the center of attention. But for me it is Leighton who really stands out. She's a natural beauty. I think she's also a classic beauty but there is something special about her. Sorry I can't really explane, but what I'm trying to say is I just love her!
Here are some absolutely exquisite images of her which also inspire me:
I would like to say goodbye with a genius quote of Leighton Meester herself, that in my opinion really suits me:
“So much of your twenties can be wasted on insecurity and worrying about what others think.”
Love,
Elien

Really simple and natural. She's so beautiful!
I love the drama in this picture caused by the heavy make-up she's wearing, accentuating both the eyes and the lips. I also love the jacket she's wearing.
The dress she's wearing is beautiful and edgy, the dark make-up and the few accessories are lovely, and the scene is exquisite! Everything is perfect in this picture!
This picture is so special! I admire the hairstyle because it's so different and oldschool, and I think not just anyone can pull it off. That in combination with the styling makes this a gorgeous picture!
This is again a photo full of drama, because of the out of bed-hairstyle and the many jewels.
I love it!

Being a model
Hi everyone,
Sorry it has been so long since I posted, I had 2 very busy days!
Monday I had so much fun at the shoot! We did it at the new place of Pascaline , which was just over the top pretty! She had many white walls so it really was the perfect location for a first simple shoot.
We didn't really use the inspiration I had found for the shoot, because we actually used lots of my pretty clothes I normally wear. The next time, when we have more time for preparation, we can pick an outfit and a location and stick to it.
With the make-up we kept it very plain. For the first time in my life I have bought foundation and powder and I love it! It looked actually really nice on me. So in the end we used foundation, powder, blush and a bit mascara.
Here are some of the (at my opinion) best photos:
I would like to end this post by showing my appreciation to my lovies Charlotte, May and Pascaline (from now on I will call her P, because that's how I call her in real life and it's actually very strange to say Pascaline..). Charlotte, thank you for being there, for the moral support and for keeping me relaxed with your gorgeous smile! May, thank you for your caring, for making me pretty and for being my friend. P, thank you for the beautiful curls , for taking my pictures and for your enthusiasm. Thanks for the support and love you guys! xxx

This is one of the first pictures that was taken. I think my eyes really stand out with that blouse.
This picture is pretty vage in the area around my face, but that's the reason why I like it so much. It has a very cool effect. I also love the combination of the necklace with the denim shirt!
I just love the furry hood of the jacket! This is a must-do outfit!
This is personally one of my favorites. My posing at the other photos was simple and normal, but my pose at this picture is the most modelish (if that's a word). I also like the emotion in my face.
Because this picture is so pure, it's also a top votegetter. It's so uncomplicated and clean, that's why it's so charming.

Inspiration
Hey lovely readers,
Today I have been searching for some inspiration for the shoot. Because we didn't have a lot time to prepare, we need quite easy and casual looks. This is what I came up with:

This first picture is very edgy. I like her hair and make-up, especially the liquid eye liner. We could do it ourselves so it's definitely a winner! 
I love love love denim! As you have seen in my previous post I have a more darker denim shirt myself and I would love to wear it in front of the camera. Because denim is a bit hard I like to combine it with clothes that are more softer, like the skirt in the picture. I really love this look!
Hope you like it! If you have some tips for me like things I should definitely try out, let me know!
XoXo,
Elien
