#STRIKEAPOSE / CHRISTMAS OUTFIT IDEAS PART 3: THE DAZZLING DAUGHTER (IN LAW)

Everybody's like: "Yay, it's Christmas, we can finally wear glitter, yay!". Well listen honey, then it's

Christmas 365 days a year for me *I wish* and for my gal Amanda a.k.a. my exploded disco ball.

I'm an expert when it comes to wearing sequins, glitters or embellished pieces. So let me show you

how you can sparkle even more than your own Christmas tree. Yep, that's right ladies, you're gonna

dress up that even your own Christmas tree gets jealous!

Since we all want to look like the perfect daughter (in law) on Christmas day, let's start with wearing

something decent: a suit. Not the kind of suit you had in mind when you saw the one I was wearing,

right? ;) But, a suit is a suit, period.

To tone it down a little - so your (grand)parents can still make it to the next X-mas - I wore a 
chunky SNF sweater over it. "But what about the shoes?" Three guesses... Sparkle shoes of course! 
Hello, it's Christmas, be dazzling darling!

#STRIKEAPOSE / 24 HOURS IN HAMBURG

 Oh Hamburg(ers), you were sehr schön! After seeing my last post about Hamburg, you'd maybe

thought it was all pampering and relaxing. Well, you were wrong all the time. This trip was the living

proof of how productive you can be in 24 hours. "I swear that the evidence that I shall give, shall be

the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth"...

#STRIKEAPOSE: TWERK OR TREAT

TWERK OR TREAT! It's starting to look a lot like Halloween. The only day of the year I can be

my total self and look not looking crazy: being a bit- uhm, (Blair) Witch (project) ;) But witch a la

Givenchy - Fall/Winter 2015 - though, if you haven't noticed yet.

 

This look/costume felt really like my alter ego. This look is the exact opposite of Linsey, so let's call

her Yesnil (you get it!?). I didn't even recognized myself in these pictures, what the Hall(oween)!
She's so mysterious, goth, wearing all black errrthang and scary.

 

So what are your spooky plans this weekend? And what are you going to wear?

#STRIKEAPOSE / MONDAY BLOODY MONDAY

U2 is talking about his bloody sunday, but yesterday is history, today is monday and tomorrow
is a mystery. On wednesday's we wear pink, but on mondays my dresscode is blue(s). Not a depressed
kinda blues though. A more "it's-monyay" kind of look.

New week means new opportunities so let's do this! I just finished my second coaching
session - which I'm gonna tell you more about very very soon - and I can totally handle the
whole world right now.

What are your monday duties?

#TIMEMACHINE / BUT FIRST, UNICORN.

TODAY´S TO DO LIST: playing with fairies, growing angels wings, braiding the hair 
of a mermaid, flying to the moon, riding a unicorn.

Me? Crazy?! Girl, I almost fell of my unicorn by saying that!
So, what are your plans for today?

#ADATEWITH / DOUTZEN KROES

Last week Amsterdam was up side down because of Fashion Week. So yesterday Doutzen Kroes 

and I decided to visit their last day. We telepathically discussed this secret dresscode: black, blue 
and a touch of gold ;) (this was totally coincidence). Before even seeing her on location, I already 
felt she was going for her classic Loubies, so I decided to leave mine home and went for these 
platforms killers.

Normally when you're on a date with someone, you ask what he or she does for a living and want to 

get to know each other better. But when YOU'RE ON A DATE WITH DOUTZEN - speeddate to be 

exact, but who cares! - it's a bit crazy to ask what this worlds biggest top model does for a living, 

don't you think? So my tip is to shut your mouth and stare at her gorgeousness like a 13 year old boy. 

Maybe not the best tip, but the best one I can give you right now. Oh and taking pictures of course. 
Because "picture or it didn't happen!"

My dad was extremely happy he had the second most beautiful woman in front of his lens!
I don't need to tell you who's on the first place, right? I didn't thought so either... ;)

#STRIKEAPOSE / ROSES ARE PURPLE...

...Violets are green. Penis. Well, that must be the best poem I've ever written! Kidding, of course.
Talking about poems, I'd better leave that up to Stephanie next time ;) She's da best! in writing poetry.

Also talking about roses, I bumped in to this beyond beautiful garden with my favorite flowers; roses.
And that in the middle of Amsterdam's Vondelpark while going for a walk with le dad and my wild 
lady Chloe ;) In these shoes? Have you lost your mind? ;) Hell to the no.

What are your favorite flowers?

#TIMEMACHINE / THE NUDE TRUTH

Exactly one year (and three days) ago I was wearing this look. If I would be wearing this today 

I would have been sick within 10 minutes I guess... I don't know what's up with the Dutch weather,
but I ordered the sun, hello?!

I spent my Winter on the Caribbean because I assumed that this time of the year would have
been alike the Caribbean... Can I go back please?

H A P P Y  W E E K E N D !

#STRIKEAPOSE / SUIT FROM HEAVEN

Okay, before I start with my story, I want to warn you for my craziness. But THIS, ladies 

and gentlemen, is the best beyond amazing suit in the world. Am I overreacting? Not at all! 

I wish I was born in this mermaid suit and I'm so taking this into my grave (#SorryNotSorry). 

No one - I repeat; no one - is allowed to take over this suit. This suit belongs to me and I will bring
it to heaven with me when it's the time. Which hopefully is over at least 100 years by the way. Oh and
trust me, I would still love this outfit and I'm gonna rock it when I'm 125 years old! (I guess...)

What is your ultimate favorite item in your wardrobe?

#STRIKEAPOSE / BOOM CLAP!

Why does this whole shoot makes me think of Charli XCX's song Boom Clap? Oh, you definitely
know that song! "Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart, the beat goes on and on and on and". Luckily
you didn't hear that live though ;) Back to my question... Maybe it's because her videoclip is shot in
my hometown and is actually a little recap of my Amsterdam life.

Which bike do you think is mine? Nope, none of them. Shame on me! But I don't ride a bike
that often. Let me correct that; I never ride a bike (whoops!) Why? Please don't ask... Riding scooters
and cars is more my thing I guess. Does that make a bad Amstermadame? Don't think so ;)

If you could choose, riding a: bike, scooter or car, what would you choose?!

#STRIKEAPOSE / SOMETHING OLD SOMETHING BLUE

Something old something new, something borrowed, something blue. And that all in one outfit! 

Okay, except for the borrowing part actually... And no, I'm not getting married (yet) ;)

Talking about marriage and since it's thé wedding season; is there anybody here married?! Or are you 

that kinda woman that doesn't feel the need to go through all that fuss? Because honestly, I'm that opposite 

girl. That already had wedding dreams before she even knew what it actually meant. Recognizable? ;)

My boyfriend thinks I will be this bridezilla - besides his remarkable comments, he's quite a nice guy - but

I will proof him wrong (if he will ever pop up the big Q (on a very original way though!)) Somehow I'm
very old-fashioned with that, so to my opinion l'homme must ask la femme.

And one thing must be clear; No. Cake. In. My. Face. #AndOnMyFutureVeraWangDress. Period.

What are your wedding dreams/plans/stories/thoughts? Would love to hear them :)

#STRIKEAPOSE / I WANNA FLY AWAY

Remember last week's sneak peek? Why hello there total outfit! I almost believed I could fly with
this blouse/dress/whateveryougorgeousthing around my hips.

Like I told you before, this blouse is magical. You feel totally caught up in a slow motion scene moment
when it's flowing around in the wind like that. Haha! But I mean it though...

Sooo, what do you think of this look?

#TIMEMACHINE / STOP. AND SMELL THE ROSES

Remember this one? The day I learned to make the Kim, Kourtney and Khloe cocktails. Yes, they 

do exist and yes, they were delish! This Kardashian event - the premiere of KUWTK - was already 

two years ago. My gosh, time flies when you're looking back!

Luckily we watched the Keeping Up With The Kardashians episode first and had the cocktail
workshop after that. Because, how are you doing after three cocktails and a shot?

Yep, I thought so either... ;)

#HAIR / GREY SCALE

HAPPY NEW HAIR PART 3! I'm totally on trend (or fleek? Whatevah.) with my granny grey hair!
Unfortunately my hair is not the easiest one to dye (lots of red pigment, fragile, easily damaged),
so the grey/silver glow lasted for exactly three days... Luckily I took these pics right on time to share
it with you, my dear friend :)

And this all was a preparation for my next hair color... Can you already guess what color it's
 gonna be?! ;) And what do you think of the granny grey hair trend?

#TIMEMACHINE

It was about time I grabbed my time machine again ;) And so I bumped up to this flamingo
pink look. Which matches the pink of my all time favorite brand. Which reminds me I didn't
have paid a visit for a long long time... Shall we?!

#POSEONTOUR

Aaaand we're back on Bonaire! Sadly enough not in real life... But in our virtual lifes, anything is possible, 

as you can see. Not that I don't wanna go back though... But I don't think it was necessary to mention that ;)

So what is the first thing that pops up into your mind when you see this location? Oh I thought of 

Bob Marley right away! (People were actually smoking weed here right behind me at 9 in the morning.
But if you're from Amsterdam, that's actually not really shocking).

I hope you're feeling my "reggae-swag-vibe" today. Hahahaha,oh my god that sounded so wrong!
(PS. I'm kinda missing a sideboob tattoo on picture 3 and 5, don't you think?!)

#PFW

Feeling like a Paris Fashion Week pro already!  Driving to the Leonard Paris show - which was 

WOW! - from running late for my Escada meeting. At the most wonderful location ever by the way. 

A showroom with the breathtaking Eiffel Tower as a view. That was definitely an "oh my Gucci 

(or Escada?)" moment.

Some of you told me I look a bit like Rachel Zoe in this outfit. Well hello, thank you!!! I think that's
the biggest compliment you can get from anyone! Who doesn't wanna look like her?! So again, 

thanks a mill for that :)

So, what is your favorite Paris Fashion Week look so far?!

#POSEONTOUR

Oh hell yes I was living the Caribbean dream! You read that right; "I was", mehhh... I'm getting
 depressed of my own pictures while I'm back in Amsterdam, haha! But I must tell you, this was my
 ultimate favorite dinner location.

It wasn't only my favorite because of the delish food (take the Tropical Coconut Shrimp), also because;
hellooo most colorful restaurant in the world! I had my pre-birthday dinner here and I la la loved it.

When I look at these pics (especially nr. 1 & 5) I can't even realize I've been there. Gosh, can I go
 back please!? And who's coming with me? ;)

(PS. It's the Chibi Chibi Restaurant at the Divi Flamingo Beach Resort)

#SHOPPING

"Its gettin hot in here (so hot), so take off all your clothes

I am gettin so hot, I wanna take my clothes off..."

This is how it literally went for me last week. What look do you prefer? :)

#FASHIONWEEK

On my last day of Fashion week was all about shoes. And silver. And glitter. About the 

first thing I knew. So I put on one of my favorite Acne shoes together with this fluffy top and 

mega sexy trousers (look at my a la Kim K. but! Okay, not even close but hey...) 

The silver and glitter were a pleasant surprise! Thanks for that Mister de la Bretoniere ;)

Now let's say farewell to Amsterdam Fashion Week, this was the end again... 

See you next season MBFWA ;)

And if you love shoes, trust me, you're gonna love this post without a doubt!
Which one is your favorite? I'm loving the ones on the last picture...
