TRAVEL DIARY

Okay okay, I need to work on my tan a little. But if that's the biggest problem…? I can totally get

 used to these kinda days. No worries, good weather and relaxing vibe. I think I belong here!

I just don't wanna leave this island anymore! Well, Curacao and Aruba are planned, but that's not 

what I meant... ;) Yes, you heard that right, Joy and I are going to discover the other islands as well.
And my macamba niece is going with us :) So be prepared Curacao and Aruba!

We shot this pictures at the ahhhhh-mazing (Van der Valk) Plaza resort. I must say this is such a
beautiful spot to go to. And yesterday it was even more fun because of Wake Jam, a wakeboard event.
And you know how I like events ;) So bring on these cocktails!

Of course we had to show off our flash tattoos we could f-i-n-a-l-l-y use!!! So hot and happening 

right now, haha! You see them everywhere, except on Bonaire. But we made that change ;)

What do you think of these flash tattoos?! And how cool is that second last picture?!

STRIKE A POSE

Can this post be more Dutchie?! Haha, I don't think so. With the cute - not so little - windmils on 

the background and the beautiful sunset, it was perfect to end this day. 

Oh, and hi new coat! Remember I was "Team A" (that stands for awesome) with the Cheap Monday contest? 

And I remember I won? Well, now you know again. And I don't mind to remind you of that ;-) 

I won €500,- shopping money(!!!) and this is one of my incredible purchases. I felt like a
fat kid in a candy store!

Remember to vote for me for the Zalando Blogger awards!

STRIKE A POSE

It's getting hot in here, so I'm not taking off all my clothes... ;)

But I'm getting in the Summer mood already! And I can't stop shopping at the moment so what 

am I buying the whole time? Yes, Summer clothes...

I'm also on the hunt for the Summer vacationé! I think it's gonna be a surf vacation this year
(S.O.S.! I've never surfed in my life) Any tips for a perfect location? 
What are your vacation plans?

(PS. And what about this lost and found top?! Such a cutiepie.)

STRIKE A POSE

I don't have a lot to tell today. And not because I have nothing to do - the complete opposite - but
because I'm totally speechless of what's happening this whole week. WOW.

Dreams came true this week and I should save all my words for tonight's presentation
about me and my blog! :)

For the last time, wish me luck?! 

STRIKE A POSE

No no no, this is not my ex-boyfriend's jeans. It's a vintage find. A little Levi's diamond I found last 

weekend at one of Amsterdam's biggest vintage shops Episode.

 We all know this boyfriend fit is a huge trend. And not less important; it's also very, very comfy.

So why not wearing it with my Acne blouse from the men section? 

I still wanted to keep this look sexy. And what else is sexier than a pair of killer Loubies? 

You tell me... ;)

STRIKE A POSE

There a two types of styles where I'm obsessed with at the moment.The bohemian a.k.a. boho one 

and the comfy urban look. Why? Please don't ask. Because it's comfortabel and not boring at all? 

Or maybe because you can wear any color of the rainbow in these types of styles. Maybe...

At least I wanna rock it well on a lazy day with loads of colors and comfortness ;-)

STRIKE A POSE

I think the Mumbai Color festival got me with their craziness and explosion 

of colors.  Since Saturday I'm wearing every color of the universe. 

I also did something random - yet very awesome - yesterday. Can you guess what I did?

Oh, and hi my beloved leggings, long time no see :)

STRIKE A POSE

Family Guy, you gotta love it or love it. There's no other choice! So I was jumping up 

and down at the Primark with this shirt in my hands of happiness. And I'm serious, 

ask my friends if you do not believe me ;) So yes, apparently I'm a Family Guy geek...

STRIKE A POSE

Thank you Céline, Birkenstock and Crocs for the most comfortable trend I've ever 
experienced in my life. Yes, I've also been hit by the famous "grandpa" trend... 

You gotta love it or hate it and I think I can say I'm an unexpected 80% lover of this. 
The other 20% are the ones that still have to get used to this look a little. 

But if you know me, you know that I like to play with my personal style once a while, et voila!

STRIKE A POSE

This weather makes me super happy but I have zero outfit inspiration because a 
typical Dutch wardrobe doesn't expand on summer clothing. Why? It's never been 
as freaking hot as this in years! 

So for today it's a simple - in my way - tee, skirt, hair up and sneakers....

STRIKE A POSE

Starting your day with the news that Isabel Marant is gonna collaborate with H&M 

literally made me jump out of bed and I smiled throughout the day. And then also having 

breakfast in the most gorgeous sky lounge of Amsterdam (at Hilton Double Tree) while the 

Alessandro International crew is giving you a manicure. Hello perfect day! 

Oh and did I mention it was 20 degrees? 

STRIKE A POSE

We all know the PC Hoofstraat in Amsterdam. The street how the Dutchies describe as the 

most luxury shopping street of Amsterdam. With boutique's like Chanel, Burberry, Louis Vuitton. 

But if you're not from Holland, you probably haven't heard of the Cornelis Schuytstraat - 

which I'm very curious how you would say that name out loud - what is a very cute and 

classy shopping place. They don't have a Balmain store but they sell it together with Isabel 

Marant and Balenciaga which are sometimes a little hard to find in this city.

I went there to start my search for the perfect jeans and after that I grabbed some dinner at 

tapas restaurant Sal Gorda, yummy!

STRIKE A POSE

I'm back home in Holland since 4 days now and still jet lagged... But I still wanted to show 

you my touristic comeback outfit with my new Bonaire sweater which I totally love :) And 

without knowing, it perfectly fits with my favorite cap I own at the moment, my Kenzo baby.

TRAVEL DIARY

Besides all the tanning and relaxing at my all time favorite spot on Bonaire; Jibe City, 

we also made a culture day. With sightseeing and getting to know this paradise a bit better.

The things that are definitely a must to see on this island: the slave huts are very interested to 

see and the salt pans that looks like snow. I heard a lot of the locals shoot their Christmas card 

at that place, haha. And - of course - go to Jibe City! It's like you're in Summer heaven ;)

STRIKE A POSE

And she's not even a professional photographer, my "sis" Marisha. But I think she did 

one hell of a good job on these pics :) 

After we had some delicious pumpkin soup at lunchroom Pllek - which you should definitely 

try out by the way - I felt like a kid in a candy store because of all the awesome locations 

at NDSM (Amsterdam). I think I can make there more than a 100 different outfit shoots and 
still not being tired of the location.

STRIKE A POSE

Oh god yes, hello sun!!!

The wild weekend is over and there's a very busy week waiting for me.

My second story at metromode.nl is already online. Plus I can't wait to tell you a very last 

minute project I'm working on right now! I'll keep my mouth shot for a few days about 

my collaboration, but I promise I will tell you about it this week. ;)

STRIKE A POSE

Hello Spring, you're late! 

I'm glad you're finally here except for bringing some rain to Amsterdam today... 

But not on my blog! I wanna give you a boost of colors and amazing flowers. 
unfortunately I can't let you breath in the smell of these blossoms. 

And say hello to my new Marc by Marc Jacobs jeans, I love him ♥

STRIKE A POSE

I can't wait to put all that fur in the back of my closet and pack my bags with only shorts, 

flip flops, bikini's and sunglasses. Because I just booked a vacation to... IBIZA! 

Ushuaia here I come! In about 72 nights... Hahaha. 

Maybe an earlier visit to my family at the Carribean? That sounds like a great idea to me!

I always loved to travel but literally hate to fly... There are so many places I want to visit like: 

Miami, Bali, NYC, Curacao, Bonaire, Dubai, but I really have to get over my fear and 

like Nike always says "Just do it." Well easier said than done, but I'll work on it ;)

What's your favorite place to go to on a vacation?

STRIKE A POSE

Sometimes you have to create your own happiness and that's what I did with this outfit. 

Because some bastard stole my iPhone last thursday night :( goodbye 2.000 pictures...

Well, the sun is shining but it's frrrrreezing. Can someone tell me if we're 

celebrating Christmas or Easter this weekend? ;)

Le dog Noa and I wishing you a wonderful weekend!

STRIKE A POSE

Dizzy, headache, sunglasses and comfy clothes. I think this sounds familiar to a lot of 

you when you had an awesome night but a hangover the day after the party... 

After all these delicious cocktails, wine, vodka you're too late to prevent yourself from 

a hangover. So you can stay in bed all day or put on a comfy outfit and live a little.

At least that's what I did ;)
