A look from last year. This reminds me how amazeballs this bomber jacket from RiRi is!

These kind of jackets are the bomb anyways. You just cannot ever have enough of those.

Lots of statement pieces are bombing you right here; the jacket, BAG, shoes, lipstick. But you
know me, me likey like that, hihi. Hey! And a touch of copper, where we talked about yesterday.

So, what do you think of this look? :)

STRIKE A POSE

Yes I am on fire baby! Not literally - of course - but my shoes are! ;-) My very first All Stars purchase. 

I bought these hotties 12 years(!) ago. My gosh, time flies when you're thinking back.

Oh, and hello new dress! Another Scandinavian purchase. You know these brands are my favorites :)
What are you up to today?!

STRIKE A POSE

When I turn blue my scooter does the same! Haha, no just kidding (of course). What's up with 

the color blue lately? Is this a beginning of a new obsession?

(PS. Happy birthday to my BFF Candace!)

STRIKE A POSE

I think you can call this a typical tropic Autumn outfit. Happy but warm. Tropical but 

cold. I actually can't believe I'm wearing a beanie already... But who cares if 

your jacket looks like a Caribbean Island!

STRIKE A POSE

It's sweater weather again! Fortunately and unfortunately. I love sweaters, they're the most 
comfy clothing items in the world. But living in 30 degrees is no nightmare to me as well.

Because Summer is my ultimate favorite season. Only too bad these two favorites do 

not go together very well (plus its never 30 degrees in the Netherlands)...

STRIKE A POSE

Thank you RiRi and River Island for this bomber jacket! I'm feeling the bomb when 

I'm wearing it ;) Wishing you a wonderful Sunday!

STRIKE A POSE

I'm not really a woman in black type of person. But I do love some mysterious outfits once 
in a while like this "a la flasher look" I wore yesterday.

Maybe people on the streets were awaiting to see a little peek-a-boo under this 
enormous coat. Well, they could have wait as long as they want but I'm not a flasher 
although I look like one ;-) Only Julien knows what was underneath this trench...

LINSTAGRAM

It's been too long since I published my latest "Linstagram". So here you go! 

Sit back, relax and enjoy... ;)

STRIKE A POSE

Yesterday I was walking around in Amsterdam like this. Not the most "summer-ish" outfit 

you can imagine, but okay, I can live with this. Because I'm also happy to show off these 

new shoes I've got thanks to Karma Of Charme! 

But that was yesterday... Today it's raining cats and dogs over here and asking myself 

the whole time "Summer, where the hell are you?!"

STRIKE A POSE

Yes, you're reading the title right: adopt a unicorn if you have the chance. And I did, on 

my t-shirt. Thanks to the lovely Samplebien for this handmade(!!!) and customized shirt 

especially for moi. I feel so honored :)

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

What to wear to a "Summer" lunch from Havaianas when it's not even 13 degrees? Well, 

at least something sparkly and happy. Got some verrrry nice flip flops and rain boots though! 

But if the weather isn't cooperating with us, then we have to shine by ourselves. Just like 

Rihanna says; "Shine bright like a..."

EVENT

Before I overload you with all my tropical posts, let's warm up with the biggest cocktail 
event ever; Bols around the world. Which I felt very honored to be invited to.

Let me give you a list of how my - not so typical - tuesday night looked like: 
the most delicious cocktails ever in all kinds of different flavors (they even had a cheesecake 
cocktail, yumyum!), sexy bartenders, watching the finals of the bar tending contest, 
lovely performances and that all in famous night club Escape. 

And what did I wore? Yes, of course, a cocktail dress (DUH!) ;-)

STRIKE A POSE

I was at a hotel in Amsterdam for five days and this ridiculously, gigantic terrace was 

all mine the past week! Fellow blogger friend Julien came to visit me and of course we 
didn't have to think a second where to shot our outfits.

And while I was just unpacking my bags yesterday, I'm already starting to pack for 
thursday because... I'm going to sunny Bonaire! Gosh, I can't wait no longer...

STRIKE A POSE

No, don't worry because of my title. I'm not at Jurassic Park, I'm just at Vondel Park in 
Amsterdam ;) Finally I can say it's Spring time... NOT. Yeah, for two days? I don't get it, 
Spring is totally cheating on us! 

And by the way, I cut and dyed my hair! Blonder and more layers, what ya think?! ;)

STRIKE A POSE

Maybe you didn't noticed yet, but it's pressday madness here in Amsterdam. 

Lots of invitations of PR agencies who show the newest collections of all kinds of brands. 

It's so cool to really touch, feel and sniff the pieces of like Dennis Diem or Winde Rienstra 
together with some delicious food and drinks. 

And when you're having busy days like these, you wanna look nice but comfy. 

So hello flat shoes! I have nothing to complain by the way, cause I'm going anywhere 

with my partner in crime, my car. Haha!

STRIKE A POSE

Since I (finally) got the guts to get my kiss tattoo last November, I'm obsessed with every 
shirt, scarf, iPhone case or anything else with rep lips on it. 

When I was 11 years old I saw a girl having a tattoo like that and I told my mom; 

'Ok mom, when I'm 18 I wanna get a tattoo like that too'. Well, it planned out a couple of 
years later and god, what would my mother have thought her 11-year old saying she 
wanted to get inked, haha!

I went for a little bit of a rock 'n roll look for the event of Lola Brood where I was 
invited yesterday. So, what ya think? ;)

NEWS

I got a major flu this whole weekend and lied in my bed for like 21 hours a day? 

So I hope I can make you happy with this enormous Instagram diary. 

(follow me @linseysijmons if you like)

STRIKE A POSE

When do you see me in a 100% plain and basic outfit?

Well, after all these glitter, glamour, pose outfits and also not feeling completely
healthy at the moment, it's nice to wear an outfit as comfy as possible. Wearing my favorite 
shoes from Isabel Marant, a BIG jumper and my new jeans thanks to Eden Schwartz.

I heard from a lot of fellow bloggers friends they're feeling ill and that's kinda logical if every 
blogger takes outfit photos without their coats on in -5 degrees (I plead guilty for that too!)

Get well soon my friends! I hope I will too...

COLLECTION

Already sick and tired of my Amsterdam Fashion Week stories? Sorry, I just can't 

stop sharing it with you. 

At the fourth (and last) day I went to the shows of Dennis Diem and Winde Rienstra.

Maybe for my international readers this doesn't sound familiar but my gosh one of the

best designers of AFW. I expected a lot from these two because of their last collections.

And hell yeah, they did it again; they took my breath away... 

Maybe it's not wearable for all of us but it definitely was a pleasure to watch.

The first thing I wondered myself before I saw the Winde Rienstra show was;

'What shoeporn did she made this time?' (photo 6) Well, no explanation needed I guess...

I thought I was actually more dressed for the Dennis Diem show 'cause his last collection 

was with a lot of black. And if you know my personal style, you know I'm not an all-black

kind of person. But then this happened; 85% of the collection was nude/baby pink-ish! 

Totally unexpected but totally loved it.
