Sneak peek of the Diagon Alley set at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - making of Harry Potter
I think most of you know that in March next year there will a Warner Bros. Studio Tour - the making of Harry Potter in the UK.
We have seen clips already of the Harry Potter cast showing the Great Hall and Dumbledore's office but now there is a new clip of the mayor of London visiting the Diagon Alley set. I'm so looking forward to go there someday next year! It looks so amazing!
Any of you who wants to visit this next year?

Bobbi Brown now also available in Belgium!
The first Bobbi Brown store opened yesterday, the 16th of December, in Belgium, Brussels that is. It's a nice store but I find it a little bit too small though so it's not so handy to be there when there are a lot of people inside.However, the products are beautiful and you might consider taking some cash with you if you're planning to buy something, certain products such as the palettes are quite pricy. I checked it out today and I'll show you some photos.

Abercrombie & Fitch now in Belgium!
Last week, on the 9th of December, the first Abercrombie & Fitch launched itself in Belgium, to be exact, in Brussels. I visited the store this week. The store itself is beautiful and so many clothes to choose from! I do think it's a bit of a pity that inside the store it's pretty dark but I guess it can also be a bit cosy. Didn't buy anything but it was fun to take a look at it.

Movie review : Puss In Boots
I know that I said that I won't have much time to post this month because of several reasons but it might happen that I do post from time to time.
Tonight I went to the movies to see "Puss In Boots" (in 3D). Puss In Boots is my favourite Shrek character, I adored him from the first moment that I saw him in Shrek.
I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with the movie, I was afraid that it would be a cheap sequel from the Shrek movies but it was really good I found, a fun movie! As I adore cats, the movie was all the more fun to me, the way they did the spinning noises like cats always do was great, the fact that they made Puss In Boots drink a glass of milk in a bar, they let Puss In Boots chase after a light ... They have portrayed cats so well in this movie, I loved all the scenes with the cats in it. In the movie you see a cat bar, it's awesome, haha and there is this one cat which has this one certain line, 'ohw' or something like that, it's so funny.

Why no blogposts for now
First of all, I have been very busy with school as I have some homework in certain subjects, the reason is because there are only a few days left before the Christmas holidays. Second point, there will be blog changes which you will hopefully see soon. Third point, I'm busy with searching a job during the Christmas holidays.
How is everyone? What are your plans for Christmas and New Year's eve?
Take care and if you have exams, good luck with studying and with school in general! I also wish you happy holidays in advance!

More photos of the small (temporary) H&M
I took some more photos today of the small (temporary) H&M which is near the Christmas market in Brussels and that will open tomorrow 12/12/2011 at 12 o'clock. They seem to have some nice items, I like two sweaters for example.

Photo report: Christmas market in Brussels, Belgium
The Christmas market has been opened since the 25th of November and will be open until the 1st of January. This year the guest country is Greece so on a separate square they have all kinds of stalls with Greek food, special herbal tea that comes from Greece but there is also one tea sort that has species that it is only found on Crete. It's basically a whole square that has stalls with Greece related products. I have also seen Greek people doing the Sertaki dance, so fun to see. It makes me want to go back to the Greek islands. I have been to Crete, Rhodes, Kos & Mykonos in the past but not Greece itself though, would like to someday. Have any of you been there or the Greek islands?
Then this year something new was added, a ski slope of 150 metres long. Pretty cool actually. This will be open until the 25th of December. And also they have added a small (temporary) H&M that is very near the Christmas market, especially aimed at Christmas.

A small (temporary) H&M will soon open near the Christmas market
The Christmas market in Brussels has been opened since the 25th of November but something else will be added near the Christmas market this year, it's a small (temporary) H&M. This H&M is mostly focused on Christmas, think about Christmas presents. It's a cute store I find, I will probably take a look there when it's open.
The opening is on 12/12/2011 at 12 o'clock (it was written on the front door but didn't have time to take a photo of that)

Emma Watson at the Lancôme launch and VIP dinner in Hong Kong
As Emma Watson is the face of the new fragnance Trésor Midnight Rose, she was at the launch of the fragnance and at the VIP dinner in Hong Kong yesterday. I wanted to show you photos of the stunning Emma Watson during that event. At the VIP dinner, she had red lipstick on (she often wears that) and it suits her so well and the haircut makes her look even more feminin. Both dresses are lovely but I like the one during the VIP dinner the most and I love the shoes that she is wearing as well, anyway, she is a gorgeous woman! I think she is also a role model to many (young) women, she is intelligent, talented, elegant, one of her priorities is education, she has a great way of thinking, love her British accent and sense of fashion. One of the things she said during an interview on the red carpet to a reporter at the VIP dinner event was: "Try to be true to who you are and do your best to feel comfortable in your own skin, you're alright, exactly as you are". Well said Emma, she always has these great comments.

Funny blog tip : "NoWhiteNoise"
I have known this blog for a while thanks to Tumblr but every time there has been a new episode of "Gossip Girl", the person of the blog makes funny recaps. It's hilarious, especially when he tries to quote Louis, because of his French accent, the sentences are so funny. The link of the blog is http://nowhitenoise.com and you can find photo recaps on http://nowhitenoise.com/category/photo-recap/ . Thumbs up for the incredible humour.
Here are a few examples of the episode from this week, all credits go to the blogger of that blog.

Let's talk - 5.10- Gossip Girl - Riding In Town Cars With Boys
I love Serena's hair and dress here
Yesterday it was the last episode of the year from the 5th season and now we will have to wait until the 16th of January for season 5 to return but ah, yesterday's episode ended with such a cliffhanger. I couldn't stop thinking about the ending after the episode was over and I think many other Gossip Girl fans had the same thoughts as well.
WARNING: Spoilers alert! (it's also a long review)
Last time we ended with Ivy/Charlie telling her ex over the phone that nobody can touch her and that she is a Rhodes now and Blair was laying with a sad face on her bed with probably a lot of things on her mind such as Chuck.
The episode opens up with Lily, Rufus, Serena, Dan and Charlie having breakfast and they are talking about Charlie's debutant ball. They have organised a debutant ball for Charlie as she never had that growing up as a Rhodes. Charlie can't believe that Lily is willing to organise this whole party for her after the whole Max thing but Lily says that it's okay and that she deserves her own debutant ball. Charlie has also found herself a new job and then Rufus says that Dan is doing well as well because of the Twitter world his book "Inside" is doing so well that Simon & Shoes (?) is doing a second printing. His publisher wants to publish it with a new afterword. Dan doesn't really know what to write in his afterword that he is starting to think about topics such as heroine or womanizing, whatever writers do when they don't know what to write. Serena responds to that with a sarcastic comment and he replies back with something like well, I didn't get a movie. Rufus tell them to stop fighting and Lily tells them to work things out.
In the next scene we see Chuck holding a newspaper and seeing an article about Blair maybe calling the wedding off because she hasn't been seen with the prince in weeks. And Nate is busy with his new job as an editor in chief for the NY Spectactor. He is doing so well that his grandfather even invited him to be his guest at Camp Allen this weekend. Nate then sees Chuck reading the Rival newspaper and asks why he reads that and he directly knows why, because there is an article about Blair and the royal wedding in it. Nate is surprised that they might call off the wedding. Chuck says it's probably nonsense, that newspapers are made that way to sell but Nate still says well maybe you should still give her a call.
Chuck: "Louis is the father of the child, there is no way that Blair is walking away from that".

My favourite soundtrack songs from "Harry Potter"
I'm actually a fan of film music, I even used to buy soundtrack CD's from time to time. Now "Harry Potter", I like a lot from that saga but that's quite normal as there are like 8 movies. I thought it was fun to share my favourite soundtrack songs from "Harry Potter". There are many songs I like so you're warned in advance. There have been so many great composers for each soundtrack album of "Harry Potter", I just love the Harry Potter music! There are some beautiful and intense songs. The ones I like the most are from the "Philosopher's Stone", "The Half-Blood Prince" and "The Deathly Hallows: Part 1" and "The Deathly Hallows : Part 2". Is anyone else a fan of film music?

Happy birthday Walt Disney!
Today is the birthday of someone (even though he isn't alive anymore) who created the magical movies of Disney named Walt Disney. He was born in Chicago on the 5th of December 1901 and aged 65 years old in Los Angeles. He would have been 110 years old today. He deserves a blogpost as he made my childhood incredible with his lovely Disney movies and because I'm still a big fan of Disney. Thank you for everything Walt Disney!
I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing–that it was all started by a mouse. (Walt Disney on Mickey Mouse)
All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
-I try to build a full personality for each of our cartoon characters - to make them personalities.
-It's kind of fun to do the impossible.
-The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.
-We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
-When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.
-When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.
-Animation offers a medium of story telling and visual entertainment which can bring pleasure and information to people of all ages everywhere in the world.

-Crowded classrooms and half-day sessions are a tragic waste of our greatest national resource - the minds of our children.
-Disneyland is a work of love. We didn't go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.
