#TBT

Like I told you before, in this post for example - in my unbelievably bad checklist - I am busy. 

And we all are, I know, I know.

Maybe I should write a "how-to-stay-cool-in-busy-times" post. To give you one already, tip 1:
run around naked outside. I can guarantee you're cooled off in a split of a second. Well, at least here
in Amsterdam. But that's not the kind of "cool" we're looking for, right? ;) 

Oh and let me be clear about something; I didn't tried my first tip (yet) though.
Maybe in the hot and sunny Bonaire next month? When it's dark, 30 degrees and nobody is watching...

(PS. I wore this look last this January. It's (throwback) thursday, remember?)

FLASHBACK FRIDAY

It's nice to look back sometimes. Only to the good things of course ;) Like outfits you would 

like to wear again. But my rule is to wear it once, so bummer for me…

This is actually an outfit I wore two years ago to Amsterdam Fashion Week.
And how simple it is, I remember I got plenty of compliments. 

Hmmmm, maybe I should wear it again… Rules are there to break, right? ;)

STRIKE A POSE

Work, work, work. Thats all what we do. At least I'm doing it almost 24/7. 

And I love it! To be honest...

Like they always say; "be happy you've got a job!" And I have three. Yes, you read that right. 

Three wonderful jobs where I cannot choose one to quit from. That's not an option, 

you understand me?! ;)

Working freelance for the biggest newspaper of The Netherlands is one of them. 

Second: graphic designer at the biggest fashion website of The Netherlands, I love Fashion news.

 And last - but definitely not least - most of the time goes to this baby, my blog. 

Free time? I'm trying to find it. And I know its important but I'm still figuring out a balans...

What do you do for work? In very curious :)

STRIKE A POSE

Some people will hate me for this but I'm loving it: wearing glitters at day time. Yes, I like to be a little
bit unexpected sometimes. Although this jacket almost got written my name on it because it's so Linsey-ish.

I already showed you this vintage treasure a few days ago on my social media pages. And I just 

can't stop wearing it! Leopard print + glitters? So wrong, yet so awesome ;-)

This was the outfit I wore to my meeting with the lovely Yogen Früz yesterday. Maybe not 

really a look you pull of to get some froyo, haha. But like I said already, I like to be a little bit 

unexpected sometimes...

STRIKE A POSE

A sign of life. I was so sick the last days! 

The outfit I was wearing to my meeting with All Saints. And when I tried on these 
amazing Kenzo boots (still haven't made a choice though...)

TBT

I got many sweet comments about my new TBT (Throwback Thursday) topic. 

So voila!

I wore this look exactly one year - plus two days - ago. A look that's a no go at the moment 

because it's frrrrreezing outside.

Busy day ahead! Starting my day with the best; sale at Acne Studios. My fellow blogger/auntie is coming 

by to be my company on two events/meetings. And shooting outfit pics of course. 

So then the evening comes, I´m having dinner with one of my BFF's Cherise and a sleepover party.
And who knows what the night will bring us... ;-)

STRIKE A POSE

This girl is not only an amazing blogger, but she makes pictures like a king (as you can see)! I'm so in 

love with my hat. And not only because it's a beautiful one, it's a hat my grandfather left me. 

Thank you grandpa :)

STRIKE A POSE

Days have been hectic, confusing and fun at the same time. And the best news of 

all is, that - after years - I got my dream apartment in "hartje" Amsterdam! 

So three guesses where I shot this outfit... Yes, at the Ikea parking lot ;)

STRIKE A POSE

With my grandpa's hat, my newest Acne dress and cowboy-ish outfit, I'm wishing you 

a happy saturday! YEEHAW! What are your plans for the weekend?

STRIKE A POSE

When Amanda told me I was spotted by Fashionchick.nl (thanks girls!) I was amazed by 

this awesome picture Merel took from me at the New Look AW13 event. And since I didn't 

show you this outfit, why not sharing this picture?! LOVE it :) What do you think?

Yesterday I was surrounded by flowers. Today I am a flower :-P 

And it's obvious in my outfits I've got the Spring flu, hell yeah!

After a GIGANTIC "Spring fling" breakfast with Zalando (yum that was delicious), 

I did some blogger thangs with my monster Julien and girly girl Mimi and took these 

outfit shots in, how we Dutchies always say, "hartje Amsterdam".

STRIKE A POSE

Yesterday I was helping out my lovely friend Laura to shoot a little movie. 

But this time I wasn't in front of the camera but actually the camera girl.

After helping her out we switched places and Laura helped me with these 

cool outfit photos. Doesn't her outfit look familiar? Yes we had a little dress up party 

and I styled her with my wardrobe essentials ;)

STRIKE A POSE

And I thought it was frrrrreaking cold in Berlin.

Well, let me assure you this, Holland is worse right now. That means slip and slide on 

the road, falling on the ground while wearing heels (yes, I just love heels, even with 

this weather) and pulling out all my fur coats and warm knits from my wardrobe.

I have thing with scarves, I already lost three of them... Last monday I forgot my favorite 

American Apparel scarf in the train to Berlin with -6 degrees :( Perfect timing of course.

Well, time for scarf hunting. Any tips?!

STRIKE A POSE

Well, it's getting colder again here in Holland... But no problemo when you have

lots of fur coats, new warm knits and three Starbucks in the neighborhood.

Caramel Macchiato, yes please!

STRIKE A POSE

If I have to describe my style, I would show a picture of this outfit. Colorful, feminine but 

with a rough edge. Totally feeling "me" in it :) 

By the way, already know this jewelry brand L'amoer? (photo 6) My friend Isabella is one 

of the owners of this amazing concept, you really have to check it out. #loveit

STRIKE A POSE

And stronger than ever! 

Thank you so much for your patience and support my dear readers, you are all my angels. 

And because of your kindness, I'm planning some nice things for you guys!

But first this outfit with my favorite color; pink. 

Pink makes me happy and at this moment I really need some happiness in my life ;)

And how are you doing?!

STRIKE A POSE

While everybody is in NYC for fashion week (not to mention my parents who are at 

Aruba right now), I'm sitting here in my hometown being jealous... ;) 

Although Zaandam is getting cuter and cuter! They're rebuilding the city for ages now and it 

finally starts to look like something. So many nice locations to shoot and this is one of them.

New York, I hope to meet you soon. But for now it's just Zaandam & Amsterdam for me...

EVENT

Yes yes, Amsterdam Fashion Week (S/S 2013) has started so give a warm welcome 

to chaoticness ;P But chaos in a good way I must say. 

Yesterday started out with three shows for me; Dorhout Mees, Domenico Cioffi and 

Roya Hesam. And right after that, straight to job 2 (yes this blogger is also graphic 

designer at De Telegraaf). 

About the shows: Dorhout Mees was feminine, glamourous but also very down to earth. 

Really liked their prints and see trough fabrics. Domenico Cioffi on the other hand, was very 

modern, graphic and clean. At Roya Hesam I had a dark diva'ish feeling, with lots of black, a 

touch of red and huge (but gorgeous) sunglasses. 

My favorite collection? I have no clue! What about your favorite?

By the way, I felt like borrowing my BF's "workwear" and 

gave it a Linsey twist, what ya think? ;)

Today is Veterans Day (in The Hague, Holland) and as I am an army wife, I thought it 

was appropriate to do something with that. So bf Bryan is already on it's way for work 

and I'll come visit him later the day. What are your weekend plans?

All Similar: sunglasses - jacket - shorts - boots

... I did! Well, meet my Princess Noa. A small dog with a big attitude, an enormous chain 

with "diamonds" and a pink leash. Noa loves to lay down on the couch, sleeps in bed and has 

so many toys a "normal" dog could dream of. 

Besides all of that she's also a tiny bit arrogant. But because of her cuteness you can't be mad 

longer than 5 minutes. And NO, she's not a Chihuahua (as you can see).

 They always say the dog looks a lot like his owner... Ahumm...
