STRIKE A POSE

 

Baaaaaaaaaa Sowenya Mamabeatsebabah!!! Okay, my singing and lyrics are not so right... 

But did you know hakuna matata means "no worries for the rest of your days"? Says Pinterest. 

And hakuna ma'Vodka just means you're drunk I guess… Plus I think the Lion King is one
of the saddest movies ever.

It felt like I was in Africa for those couple of minutes I was chilling at this bar/restaurant. It's called 

Tjing Tjing and it's just three steps away from my home. Or maybe ten... Such a cute and warm 

place to come. Don't know nothing about the food (yet). But I should definitely give it a shot!

TRAVEL DIARY

Guess what my favorite color is... PINK (duh!) And how cool is it when you see a house in
your favorite color!? Well, pretty cool I must say. And there are a lot of them on the Caribbean.
I am in (pink)heaven!

While I was cruising around with le dad around the island (Bonaire), we've seen lots of amazing
places. Like this house that was in the middle of the little village Rincon.

Okay, okay, it's not wednesday yet. But why not wearing pink on tuesday?
Or EVERYDAY?!

I pinky promise I'm coming back to you again Bonaire...

TRAVEL DIARY

Oh Bonaire, you're killing me! In a good way though. Is there a good way of killing? YES, there is.

The Caribbean is killing me with their beauty and I haven't even been to the other islands yet!

Just when you think you're vacation cannot be better, I'm leaving to Aruba and Curacao this week!
You read that right dushi!!! Two nights Aruba and two nights Curacao.

This day was tourist day. Sight seeing, driving around the island and chilling at one of my 

favorite spots; Jibe City. That view though…

 What will tomorrow bring…? Now I'm off to yoga, ayo!

TRAVEL DIARY

Oh I'm gonna make you so jealous the upcoming two weeks with these Summer pictures! 

And sorry I'm not sorry ;)

What to do in the Caribbean? CHILLAX. Nothing more nothing less. And with 33 degrees you 

cannot do a lot more than that to be honest. First I have to get rid of this jet lag and second; I need 

to get used to this heat, my GAWD!

Find some tips in this post, where to eat and what to wear! :)

STRIKE A POSE

Well I'm not vintage (yet), of course. And neither is my shirt. But I must say, if you live in 

Amsterdam you just get forced to like vintage. And that's not a bad thing at all.

Vintage is a vibe. A vibe that feels like home. Or recognizable from waaaaay back family pics.

You can sometimes feel a piece of clothing has been through a lot more than you have. Plus it has 

more personality than your "new" clothes.

Okay, cut the cr*p! The only vintage thing I'm wearing in this outfit is my Levi's jeans… No worries, 

I have a HUGE closet with a lot of vintage treasures so my vintage story was sincere ;)

(PS. What about this awesome location?! It's the home of one of my parents' friends)

STRIKE A POSE

Don't ask me why I came up with this title. It was the first thing that popped in to my head when I 

saw the result of these pictures! I'm wearing Coco, no Dolce. But it gives me the Dolce vibe though.

Oh and before you get a heart attack; the bag is -unfortunately - not mine. It's from my fellow 

fashion blogger / auntie Danielle. She is sweet enough to let me borrow her boy dream bag.

Talking about bags! One of my dream bags was hand over by the mailman last week. I couldn't 

scream 'cause it wasn't from Zalando ;) but I give you one hint; Moschino...

STRIKE A POSE

Taking my - oh so awesome - peacock chair to the middle of a field. Why? 

Why not?! is a better question I guess.

I'm so blessed to have such a talented dad which is also my photographer! Because this 

shoot was actually his idea. Plus he shot the pics, of course ;) Likey?

And guess where I will be lying with my big butt all day... At the *hallelujah* spa!
Something I could really use right now. But who doesn't? So from tomorrow, I will be
totally zennnn again.

STRIKE A POSE

Some people will hate me for this but I'm loving it: wearing glitters at day time. Yes, I like to be a little
bit unexpected sometimes. Although this jacket almost got written my name on it because it's so Linsey-ish.

I already showed you this vintage treasure a few days ago on my social media pages. And I just 

can't stop wearing it! Leopard print + glitters? So wrong, yet so awesome ;-)

This was the outfit I wore to my meeting with the lovely Yogen Früz yesterday. Maybe not 

really a look you pull of to get some froyo, haha. But like I said already, I like to be a little bit 

unexpected sometimes...

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?!

STRIKE A POSE

A sign of life. I was so sick the last days! 

The outfit I was wearing to my meeting with All Saints. And when I tried on these 
amazing Kenzo boots (still haven't made a choice though...)

STRIKE A POSE

Now I get it why these Amstermadames always wear flats... I was so spoiled by my car 

I could wear the most uncomfortable shoes I wanted. But time has changed. 

I still wanted to look girly and glamorous even with sneakers on. And then you get 

this Linsey-ish outfit.

Maybe not something you would wear everyday but I was invited to an exclusive Vero Moda event. 

So I felt like dressing up a little ;-)

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

IT'S WEEKEND! So turn up the music, drink some nice wine and live a little ;)

And what better to start it with a LP record as bag? Well, it's not mine (unfortunately), 

but I borrowed it from my girl Marisha. 

I'm giving you some Burberry kisses from Amsterdam and wishing you all a happy friday!

TRAVEL DIARY

I really don't want to, but I'm already automatically counting down my days to go home. 

But I don't wanna! 

Although I'm kind of a city girl and Bonaire doesn't even have one traffic light - yes, only 
a "fake" one at the best pizza place Pasa Bon Pizza Bar - this feels like home as well.
 This island gives me a feeling I've never felt before on a holiday. I'm already getting sad 
with the thought of leaving this place... :(

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?

EVENT

I was actually wearing sky high heels, a black pencil skirt and a marine blue t-shirt to the 

Jan Boelo show but that outfit was a mission impossible to shoot with -1 degrees...

So this is a more casual and warmer version of my "Jan Boelo-ish" outfit. 

I was so inspired by his show I visited the last time, I forced myself wearing this vintage hat. 

Plus I saw Miroslava Duma was rocking this trend as well.

'So Jan, blow me away like you always do' I said a few days ago. And oops he did it again.

Howdy wowdy! was the first thing that came up to my mind when I saw all these amazing 

cowboy hats, oversized coats, leather trousers and denim blouses. Chapeau Jan Boelo!

STRIKE A POSE

When I saw Louis Vuitton's AW 13/14 collection I thanked my granny in heaven for 

leaving me one of her amazing fur coats. So I can complain about the cold weather and stuff, 

but secretly I'm happy I'm able to wear this diamond again. 

The weather looks a bit drunk with its mood swings. 6 days ago I was chilling at the 

spa and lying in the sun with my bikini(!) and now I'm wearing a gigantic, warm fur coat and 

a Mulberry angora knit underneath it... What the hell weather?!

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.

STRIKE A POSE

And I thought it was frrrrreaking cold in Berlin.

Well, let me assure you this, Holland is worse right now. That means slip and slide on 

the road, falling on the ground while wearing heels (yes, I just love heels, even with 

this weather) and pulling out all my fur coats and warm knits from my wardrobe.

I have thing with scarves, I already lost three of them... Last monday I forgot my favorite 

American Apparel scarf in the train to Berlin with -6 degrees :( Perfect timing of course.

Well, time for scarf hunting. Any tips?!
