EVENT

I spent last weekend in Eindhoven with some fellow bloggers and I had a blast! 

The trend I was telling you about was... Can you guess? ;-) Drumroll.... The military trend! 

Besides talking about my favorite trend I also had my own mini-closet in the middle of a shoppingmall. 

Plus a HUGE picture of myself. WOW, that was crazy! Haha. 

When the night started to come, I went to the hotel with Nathalie, gave her a goodbye hug and went 

to McDonalds (woops, not so fancy!) But I knew Joyce did the same, hihi! Now: party time! 

In the coolest museum I've ever been; Van Abbemuseum. Silent disco's, surrounded by art and crazy music.

Well, that was fun!

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? ;)

EVENT

Twice a year the fashionista's leave the past behind and look forward to the future... 

This is known as Fashion Week. And Amsterdam is in the middle of it. So of course I'm present ;)

This was my look for day 1. Chique and edgy, just how I like it. And just like the shows I watched.
One of them were the new talented Fernanda Fernandes and Joelle Boers & Bregje Cox.
(Look at those shoes! And what about mine?!)

After the shows there was the Zalando Blogger Awards, which I did not won though...
But it was nice to see my fellow bloggers win well deserved awards. Great job girls!

What will the next day bring...

STRIKE A POSE

Yes I'm still alive! Or actually, I'm not... *busy* But it was time to give you a sign of life again. 

And three guesses where I am within a couple of hours... Nope, Madrid! I can't wait to arrive and 

see my lovely friends again!

My first trip of the year plus I had my first day at my new work yesterday. I was already so tired 

I booked a vacation ;) Kidding (of course). This trip to España is a Christmas gift from mi madre y 

mi padre, thank you so much!

See you in Madrid :)

STRIKE A POSE

My dear, dear readers,

I wish you a very merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart. I hope you will gain some weight 

from all the lovely dinners - with losing some wait as one of your 2014 resolutions - and spent some 

quality time with your loved ones. Anyway, that's my plan ;-)

How was your Christmas eve?!

TBT

For the ones who did not know, yes it's thursday. Time to throwback!
October 2012, when this look was featured on the UK's Vogue website. I couldn't
believe what I was seeing! Me? On vogue.co.uk? Wow!

I'm still wearing all these items - although I could wear this cape way often - with lots of pleasure.

But if you know me, I would never (evah) wear an outfit twice. Why? Because I have thousands 

and thousands of different combinations to make with my wardrobe. So why should I?

But showing you the outfit twice is an whole different story ;-) I was browsing trough some old pics
and came up with the idea for a new topic; TBT (ThrowBack Thursday). What do you think?

(PS. Dutchies; have fun with Sinterklaas tonight!)

STRIKE A POSE

I think it's pretty known that the tartan print is one of the most famous trends at the moment. 

And luckily I have a Scottish roommate! So I borrowed here lovely cashmere tartan scarf. 

Soft, warm and trendy at the same time.

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

For some personal reasons I couldn't stand this camo trend anymore. But a couple 

of weeks ago I couldn't take it anymore to not wear it. I left some bad things behind me and 
moved on and I don't want my past to be an obstacle in my personal style. 

So hello again camo print, welcome back!

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?

STRIKE A POSE

OMG, Spring? Are you there? Or did we just skipped you and went right to Summer? 

I'm happy I still have a tiny bit of my Bonaire tan so I don't have to be ashamed of my legs ;)

This week is a busy work week so I'm off again to my first meeting today.

Goodbye butterfly! 

STRIKE A POSE

Yes, I know, I can use a little tan (especially on the legs). But that doesn't stop me from 

going barelegged because hellooooo 20 degrees! Talking about weather, I couldn't care 
less because within two nights I'm at sunny Bonaire! So I can work on my tan as well ;-) 

*Doing a happy dance*

STRIKE A POSE

I'm actually having the same story as yesterday. 831891 deadlines and running from event 

to event. Only this time I'd chosen flat shoes and now it's 2:30 at night ;) 

But you're not hearing me complain about it 'cause I like being busy and working hard 

so let's do this today again! GIRL POWER, haha.

STRIKE A POSE

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

While I was shooting for my fellow blogger/auntie Danielle at her friend's place 

(such a cute apartment!) for a little project, we switched places and Daan also made 

some shots of my comfy, cowboy-ish outfit. And that's all because of my new boots 

thanks to Sacha. Can't wait to wear those to a festival in the Summer!

Although I was more dressed for a comfy work outfit or a lazy day, 

it didn't hold me back to go to a very fancy launch of the magazine NiX in one of the 

most amazing hotels in Amsterdam; the Amstel Hotel... *sigh* ♥

STRIKE A POSE

After a quick visit at the Like This office, I had some delicious lunch with the lovely 

Karin Kuijpers from Metro Mode at the Okura hotel. The lunch ended up with some 
exciting news I will tell you very, very soon... :)

TRAVEL DIARY

Croque monsieur, macarons & croissants. Of course I ate it all during my trip in my nr. 1 city.

I even brought some delicious stuff home with me for a lovely afterglow.

I'm already missing Paris and my beautiful apartment thanks to Wimdu. Had a wonderful 

time with my girl/sister/friend Marisha and I will show you my NYE outfit asap!

STRIKE A POSE

We all know the sequin jacket from Balmain (AW 12/13) and the incredible baroque trend 

for this season. So why not combining both on a more affordable way? That's what I did with 

this vintage gilet (I totally forgot about, whoops...) 

Of course I dream of a wardrobe full of Balmain (I'm already blessed I own one t-shirt) but 

before my dream comes true I have to deal with the "a la Balmain-ish" pieces I own ;-)

STRIKE A POSE

I love wearing clothes that makes me feel like a princess. 

And that's exactly what this skirt does to me. And let the "princess skirt" also be one 

of the biggest trends of this season *lucky-me-twirling-around-in-my-skirt*
