#POSEONTOUR / #SQUADGALS TAKE IBIZA

Remember the Pink Ladies from Grease, the Spice Girls, Destiny's Child or Taylor Swift's 

girl squad? Brace yourself for the #SQUADGALS with: high heels addict (Formula) Farah, tropical
journalist Gabrielle Koster, Asian travel beauty (Hashtag by) Lily, health freak Nathalie Kemna,
model appearing bookworm Sophie (Radish To Wear) & creative unicorn ME. We just took over
Ibiza and now we're delegating the virtual world ;-)

From a yacht trip with Smart Charter to Formentera to one hell of a spa day at paradise Atzaro - not 
to mention our Sam Friday villa, HELLO?! -  or yoga sessions with The Wellness Source in our own
back yard, a horrible night at Pacha (yes we had) and an uber delish acaï breakfast from Amazonia
which was served at our one and only la villa.

And this all thanks to the lovely ladies from Essential Ibiza, who were our tour guide for the
whole week. This was maybe 1/10 of our one week trip on Ibiza, so let me take you on this
virtual Ibiza tour...

#POSEONTOUR / ROUTE AUSTRALIA

In less than two weeks and 3000KM further - 3324 to be exact - we accomplished our own
improvised "Route Australia": PERTH - GERALDTON - CARNARVON - CORAL BAY - 
EXMOUTH - DENHAM - MONKEY MIA - KALBARRI - JURIEN BAY - PERTH.
(Can I get an) AMEN! Thank you.

From swimming with wild dolphins to an unexpected sky dive, livin' the (camping) life, silent disco's
at Fringe World Festival and running around topless on the highways of Western Australia. 

Can you imagine the song "Time Of My Life" pops in my head every single time I'm getting 

flash backs of this vacation?! My video is also on repeat ever since I uploaded it.

"An unexpected sky dive." ME? That girl that was too afraid to go on a plain and now jumped out 

of one? Well, that escalated quickly... It was my birthday present from the beloved BF. (Otherwise 

I wouldn't have done it, EVER) Ihavethecutestboyfriendintheworld.com. Three guesses what my 

reaction was when he told me what he got me for my birthday: "HAHAHAHA!" But when the 

awkward silence began, I realized he was talking serious F-ing business. I ignored his proposal for 

as long as I could, but as we're getting closer to Jurien Bay, my inner-yolo came out and was totally 

in for it.

Endless road views, playing with quokka's (YAS I also scored a selfie!) and spotting kangaroos.

This was by far the best vacation EVAH.

Check out our "Route Australia" here on Google Maps.

#POSEONTOUR / MY VIEW ON (WESTERN) AUSTRALIA

Just watch, enjoy and let me know what you think ;)

#POSEONTOUR / HOTEL AWAY FROM HOME: FOUR POINTS BY SHERATON BALI

From the "WTF-is-this-for-real?!" villa's to the "OMG-are-you-kidding-me?!" hotels on Bali,

 this hotel was definitely my all time favorite: Four Points by Sheraton, Kuta. With the warmest 

welcome - literally - and farewell, because sadly, this was our last stop on magical island Bali.

Our stay was all about food (our whole vacation was actually all about food). From a breakfast 

buffet for champs to this awesome pizza baking workshop, Insta-material food surprises in our 

room (photo 3!), romantic dinner sessions at The Best Brew restaurant and sipping thé best 

smoothies at Four Points' swimming pool. Luckily they had an awesome gym as well.

Talking about the swimming pool, HALLELUJAH! Ever experienced a pool where you could 

literally - I repeat: literally - jump in from your hotel room? (Unsafe jumps don't count, of course). 

I DID!

Besides the food feast, pool parties, not to mention the interior. Halle-f'ing-lujah times two! 

The entrance looks like a tropical Balinese ballroom. The lamps look like a piece of art. And 

every corner in this hotel is just artistry and master craftsmanship. Even the tiles on the floor are 

Insta-material!

It sounds we were saving the best for last, huh? Watch it yourself...

#POSEONTOUR / THE BALI GIRL TOUR GUIDE

Besides all the tips my little island babe Nathalie gave me, the amount of treasures I found
on beyond beauty Bali is absolutely mind blowing! To be honest, it isn't that hard to find
ah-mazing spots, but finding the cherry on top of the smoothie - Bali has a healthy lifestyle -
is definitely a job for the die hards. Let's meet this lunatic: ME!

Are you ready for my (with) Who, What (to do), When (to stay), Where (to go), Why (should 
you visit) and How (long) Bali guide?

#POSEONTOUR #LINTERIOR / BALI HOME TOUR

Yeah, this was one of my villa's on Bali, Ametis Villa.We had a personal Butler - Putu, such a cutie - 

a private pool and garden, "room service" or better said, served breakfast everyday plus dinner, 

cocktails and Balinese massages, yep that's was all it I guess. Oh and I almost forgot, a surprise 

birthday cake. #NOBIGGIE

Of course I didn't forgot my surprise birthday cake and that "#nobiggie" was the biggest joke I ever 

made because let me be clear about something: this villa was heaven on earth, but then even better. 

HAHA, HALLELUJAH!

I know, I know everybody always says the "yeah it was so amazing, I want to stay here forever 

#takemeback" bullcrap, but seriously guys, I just can't deny I'm almost crying my eyes out when 

I'm looking at these pictures again. Oh my Gucci, this was the sh*t. Paradise (by the dashboard light) 

kinda sh*t. Some paradise I never experienced before. 

Wanna discover thé hidden gem of Bali? Then this is the place honeys.
Terima kasih for having me Ametis Villa, you brought my Bali trip to a whole next level!

#POSEONTOUR / MY VIEW ON BALI

It was a challenge to put two whole weeks on Bali in just a two minutes video. But hallelujah I did it! 

And this is just a warm up from all the posts that are coming up.

Let's waste no more words and you better watch it... #POSEONTOUR

#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"...

#POSEONTOUR / #SHOEPARTY WITH SYLVIE MEIS IN HAMBURG

...Stays in Hamburg. And here on the blog, of course ;-) So brace yourself, an overload of Hamburg 
pics is coming! #TheBloggerArmy was taking over this city last week for exactly 24 hours(!) And 
our weapons were shoes, lots of shoes. VanHaren shoes to be exact. The captain of our squad? 
The one and only Miss Sylvie Meis. And I had a date with her...

...A speed date to be exact. So cute Sylvie was all dressed up for our speed date! But Sylvie

isn't Sylvie without looking like a Hollywood star that walked right of a red carpet, or out of

Madam Tussauds. She looks as perf as a doll! Imagine how I felt next to this woman with my knitted

nerdy sweater, the most basic jeans ever and some flat, black booties... Hashtag underdressed!

Which was a totally new experience since I'm always "that girl" that's even more dressed up than the

bride on her wedding.

So this is how our (speed) date went: Sylvie: "Oeh, I looove your bag!" Me: "Thanks! Wanna swap it

for your dress?" Sylvie: "Hahaha!" Me: ":)". Photographer: "3, 2, 1... *Click*." We had fun.

The End.

#LINSTAGRAM: #LINSTAPARIS

Bonjour mes amis! Je suis @LinseySijmons on (L)instagram. Ne me quitte pas if you're following
me already ;) While half of the world has second thoughts about being on social media or not, I will
assure you: I'm staying mon cheri. Let that be clear! Why? So I can share incredible moments like
these Paris memories!

That moment when you realize it has already been a month ago(!!!) when you we're visiting your
favorite city in the world. Besides not knowing The Ritz was closed for two years already, Paris was
formidable, as always. But somehow it all feels like a blur now, a dream... Just like my NYC
experience. Was it all fake? Na'ah! I just can't believe I've been there!

If you're reading this you're lucky! Because you're gonna discover some delish hotspots, tips
and looks which you can definitely apply to your future trip to Paris.

#POSEONTOUR: NEW YORK CITY GUIDE FOR DUMMIES

Like you read before: a few weeks ago I still was a NYC virgin. Luckily time has changed and I 

 can proudly say I f-i-n-a-l-l-y visited this beyond ah-some city! Now I want to share all my tips 

 with you. The (with) Who, What (to do), When (to stay), Where (to go), Why (should you visit) 

and How (long). 

Remember, this is a guide for Dummies! Not for the advanced NYC travelers among us. 

 Or maybe you can also catch up some stuff you haven't discovered yet... Are you ready?!

#POSEONTOUR : ALL MY PFW LOOKS

From the crazy New York City to the all time classic Paris. I must say: R-E-S-P-E-C-T for those 

who were in London and Milano inbetween as well. Because Jesus Christ! I'm exhausted...

 Fashion Month is hard, trust me. And I only did half of it! How do they keep up after this NYC 

 jetlag and still look so fresh at "the end station" called Paris? I'm still figuring out.

Let's talk Fashion! From the patchwork trend to the metallic trend, the GIANT sunglasses and 

flair pants. In all my 10 Fashion Week looks I wore another Fall/Winter trend what suits me most. 

And here are my last 5 looks for Paris Fashion Week. Now the big Q: what's your favorite?!

And what comes after all Fashion Weeks? The Cosmo Hairstyling Color Weeks! From Monday
 the 12th until Sunday the 25th of October you get a free color treatment at all Cosmo Hairstyling
 salons, in combination with a Cut&Style, Care&Style and Roots treatment. You can choose:
 babylights, balayage or bronde. Guess what I had chosen...

Now let's talk beauty! For me it was time for a new coupe. Did you noticed? You have to 'cause,

Cosmo Hairstyling cut off almost three meters of my hair and from a granny grey I'm a Bronde
lady now.  I'm more than happy with it! So what color are you going for?

#POSEONTOUR: MY VIEW ON NYC

That moment after no sleep, a 7 hours flight and a war with your - way too heavy - suitcase in the
subway, you walk up the stairs from hell (I just meant the subway, and I was overreacting a bit), you
look up and there's no end at looking up because of these huge buildings. Then I realized, oh my
F-ing god, I'm literally in New York City right now. And at that moment, I lost my NYC virginity. 

 From sharing the plane with Doutzen Kroes to seeing Adriana Lima shining on the runway and
having Karlie Kloss as your neighbour while having lunch. And this was just a little glimpse of
my New York City "virginity" story. Yep, you read that right, I was a NYC virgin, or better said:
(until last week) I've never ever visited this city in my whole life before (I know I know, shame 
on me!) 

"I've never been to New York before." said no fashion junkie ever. Well, I said it and everybody was
always very surprised when this came out of my mouth. As blogger and fashionista (although I hate 
these two words, I can't found a better name for it) in heart and soul, visiting The Big Apple is just a
must. En when does this fashionista visit this city? Exactly, during New York Fashion Week.

The time had come: NYC brace yourself because HERE I COME! Or do I have to brace myself...?

#POSEONTOUR: ALL MY NYFW LOOKS

Amsterdam - New York City - Amsterdam - Paris. Yep, 'cause "honey I'm home!" But not for 

long though. Paris is waiting for me and guess why? Because of Fashion Week, again. But let's 

not go too fast and start at the beginning, which is #NYFW! 

I must tell you, as it was my very first time in this 12 million inhabitable city, WOW, I have no
words for it. Actually I do have a lot of words for it - more than a 1.000 to be exact - but I will tell 

you all about it very very soon. Let's talk about my New York (Fashion Week) looks first...

From culottes to patched mom jeans to disco ball suits and Mc Donald looks. Here are alllll my 

NYFW outfits in a row. And hell yeah I wanna know what you think!

#LINSPIRATION / HOLIYAY!

Okay, maybe you will hate me for now, but let me play your mom just for a sec. We need to do 

your last minute holiday check! Do you have your passport with you? All your medicine?
Don't forget this handy app. Oh! Almost forgot: where's your plane ticket?!

Done with the mom thing! Now let's go last minute holiday checkingz Linsey style! Do you 
have your most stylish suitcase with you? Oh honey, you need to have a passport holder. Not covering
your eyes is sóóó 2014, go get that eye mask! Oh and the most important thing: your most hilarious 
key ring(s).

No no no, don't panic! I'm here to help you get all the things you need.
Let's go holiyay shopping!

#TIMEMACHINE / STOCKHOLM MEMORIES

Oh Stockholm, I miss you as much as I miss McDonalds (haven't been to both in ages though). 

Okay, I miss you a little more Stockholm... And because I finally had a date with my girly Nanda 

(photo 4) again last week - yay! - we brought up a lot of memories about our Stockholm trip for 

Nelly.com in May last year. What a night, what a night, huh?! ;)

After seeing all these pictures, again, I have the urge to book a one way ticket to Stockholm and 

never come back again. I just fell in love with that city. And that in 48 hours!

Have you ever been to Stockholm? Or do you live there maybe?

#TIMEMACHINE / MY MIND SAYS IBIZA...

...But work won't let me! ;) While Poser Danielle is having a jealous making wonderful time on Ibiza 

right now (I don't wanna speak for her, but I'm sure she's having fun), I'm working my butt of over 

here to hopefully go to Ibiza later this year. This island is just magical. And no, it will never, I repeat: 

never be an overrated island.

 I must say I'm not complaining at all. Since I'm living in one of the best cities in the world, been to Ibiza 

 twice already, a few months ago I was doing exactly nothing on Bonaire, oh and New York is in the planning

 this year. And all this with a fear of flying. I think I finally can say I'm over that and I feel on top of the world!

Have you ever been to Ibiza? And do you have travel plans for this year?!

#TIMEMACHINE / WHEN WE'RE IN SAINT-TROPEZ

While everybody is having an unforgettable time in Cannes at the Film Festival - and I'm not - I was
looking back to my unforgetabble time at practically her neighbour; Saint-Tropez. Which I visited in
 August 2012. Mother of God, is it three years already?!

No red carpet events, uncomfortable - but oh so gorgeous  - gowns or surrounded by celebs. But
trust me, Saint-Tropez has glam. Three years ago we stayed at a glamping. Yes, you read that right;
a glamping. And I wanna go back right now. But this time with a visite to Cannes (and maybe
 Monaco?) as well ;)

Have you ever been to Cannes, Saint-Tropez or some other city nearby?

#POSEONTOUR

In the first two pics this place looks so peaceful and full of colors. But it's actually the abandoned
hotel on Bonaire from an old drugs dealer. Yep... With all kinds of scary ghost stories - which my 
niece luckily told me yesterday on WhatsApp - where I (thank God!) didn't knew about!

Despite everything, I was totally in my element with my off duty look ;) And distracted by this
graffiti on the wall (Especially the donuts on the last pic!) Can I have this at home too? Haha!
FYI: kidding. Of course.

#POSEONTOUR

Oh sun of a beach I freaking miss you! Missing this whole Summer vibe which will never ever come to
Amsterdam, ever. I feel so sorry for my Caribbean family! Not that they're probably sweating  like a pig
right now, but because they're moving back to Holland this Summer. Yay for me! And nay for them...

I wanna wear this bikini again, right now! It sparkles and it makes me happy. Just like my cool zebra pet.
And of course I meant the towel...

(PS. Who's got the hottest ass of them all on the last picture?! Haha!)
