#TIMEMACHINE / FLASHBACK FALL DAY

Faking this Fall outfit to the max! Because this was actually a look I wore last year. But I just had 

to make flashback of it. Sometimes it's such a pitty I only wear my total looks once. That's just an 

important rule I added in my life years and years ago. 

I hear you thinking "Why are you so hard on yourself?" Well, I will answer that question...
It's not being hard on myself, it's challenging my own creativity. And as you may know,
I do like a challenge ;)

"More is more and less is bore" is a quote that fits my style perfectly! And that's where the challenge
comes back again. I think being innovative is so important. Especially when you're busy with your
New York Fashion Week fittings, exclamation mark times 100!!!

Three days to go and I will be walking like a Carrie Bradshaw wannabe around Manhattan
and around it. Hashtag can´t wait! The countdown has begun...

#STRIKEAPOSE / WORLD OF WARCRAFT

I'm actually not a game freak at all. But lets be honest over here, when we were 12 (or you still do, 
I give you all the right to) we couldn't stop playing The Sims until the middle of the night... Then yes,
you could have called me a semi game freak as well (compared to The World Of Warcraft junkies).
But maybe it's a bit of a (tom)boy thing, right?

What I do like are apps for my phone! Especially the ones where I can edit my photos on
Instagram that it looks like I'm in a total different world. Or making my own quotes. Like the
app Rhonna or FotoRus. What's your favorite app? Let's share some tips together :)

#SNEAKPEEK / BE A WARRIOR, NOT A WORRIER

"Be a warrior, not a worrier" is a quote I actually need to pin on my wall or write on my mirror 

or something. It somehow gives me strength and a slap in the face to stop worrying so much. 

Yep, I'm that neurotic type of girl. You can better call me a perfectionist. Which sounds way nicer 

by the way ;)

So of course I couldn't wait to show you my upcoming look (as usual). And I always like to tease 

you with this sneak preview, I hope you don't mind (#SorryNotSorry). So now I'm very curious 

what you think so far?!

#TBT

Now it's time to surrender myself to the cold weather again… Fall I'm coming! Because today 

I will be flying back home to Amsterdam again. Sad? Yes. Happy? Also. 

I found this look of last year which I still really love. This looks like the perfect Fall to me, 

don't you think? And such an easy hairdo which looks so difficult ;)

Fall, I'm ready for ya!

#TBT

In between Caribbean overload, I thought it was nice to throwback for a change. 

I wore this the day before I went to Bonaire for the very first time; May 2013.

Maybe I should dye my hair like this again though… I like being a blondy ;-)

What do you think?!

#TBT

Out of the green ;) I am obsessed with the army trend. Again. We have a love and hate relationship. 

I am serious! But since last week we reconciled and there's peace. So let's bring on the soldier clothes!

These pics are coming from the old box, where me and army were also still good together ;)

But this jacket is - as you can see - a little bit different than the one you think of when I say; 

camo-coat, right?

Besides the famous green camo, I slightly have a thing for this sand color, also known as the desert uniform.

What do you think of the army trend? And what about this sand color?

STRIKE A POSE

What about this Smooth Criminal look?! Or shall I better call it "rockchick"?

Naaah, smooth criminal sounds cooler ;)

I think a new addiction is coming up; boooooots. And I mean those army inspired ones from Tamaris. 

I just canNOT get enough of them. Hello pair number 4… Gotta love it!

What's a better combination to wear it with other than a dress? Or is it a blouse? I don't know and 

I don't care. Remember I went to the fashionshow of Gestuz? Well, this is one of their blouses 

and I have one hell of a dress awaiting for me to wear.

Stay tuned… ;)

STRIKE A POSE

I am faking Autumn a little. Why? Because I looove faux furs! Like this one from Goosecraft.
I can't bring this to my trip to the Carribean next month, hello 30 degrees! 

But I just can't wait to wear Autumn outfits and having a gigantic cup of tea at home while 

listening to the rain. Is that crazy?! Or are you also secretly craving for this season?  ;)

STRIKE A POSE

The double P, what the hell is that supposed to mean? Just "purple pastel" but double P sounded 

way cooler if you asked me ;-)

Just a comfy outfit with cute colors all over the place for a comfy day with a lovely sunshine. I was
hanging out with my Menzo in our city. Ah, finally a - sort of - day off! That felt good. 

What are you up to today?!

STRIKE A POSE

It almost camouflage when I'm wearing this dress at the Vondel Park ;-) I think this is the most 

Autumn-ish dress you will ever find. 

Luckily my styling friend Kim is coming over a lot, so I could borrow this amazing coat for the day. 

So fluffy and warm. Thanks Kimmy!

And what about my hair!? I thought, let's try something different and look like Heidi!

(Dress HERE - similar coat HERE - similar shoes HERE.)

STRIKE A POSE

Is it crazy when I say I kinda like Autumn? Actually not because of the weather but 

because of the outfits you can wear. The lovely dark colors, (fake)fur vests, skirts with tights 

and leather jackets. Exactly what I'm wearing right now. 

I present you, the perfect Autumn outfit!

STRIKE A POSE

Nelly.com thought I wasn't tall enough already with my 5 foot 7 ;) 

And hey, it's weekend! So put on your highest heels, some red lipstick and live a little.

(P.S. I loooove these sky high monster shoes, thanks Nelly!)

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!

COLLECTION

Last monday my column on metromode.nl was all about bags. And since I'm on the 

search for a new, perfect baby, ehm, I mean bag ;) I wanted to share some of my favorites 
of the moment. Which one would you like to have?

Also interested in my column on metro mode? Read it HERE. (Only in Dutch, sorry!)

If you're reading this, I'm probably trying to overcome my biggest fear in life; flying. 

I'm on my way to Bonaire, it's a 10 hour flight and to be honest, I'm almost shitting my 

pants right now. But the amazing reward for this journey is, of course, discovering this tiny 
little island and seeing my family again :) 

So with this look I tried to protect myself with guns and bullets, which I unfortunately 
cannot bring on the plane ;) but no worries, le mum is with me and will stay by my side 
the whole time. See you in Bonaire!

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

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!

This monologue inspires me a lot these past weeks. I'm just obsessed with Lana's 

song Ride, please listen it here above while you're reading it. #loveit

"I was in the winter of my life- and the men I met along the road were my only summer. At 

night I fell sleep with vision of myself dancing and laughing and crying with them. Three years 

down the line of being on an endless world tour and memories of them were the only things 

that sustained me, and my only real happy times. I was a singer, not very popular one, who 

once has dreams of becoming a beautiful poet- but upon an unfortunate series of events saw 

those dreams dashed and divided like million stars in the night sky that I wished on over and 

over again- sparkling and broken. But I really didn’t mind because I knew that it takes getting 

everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is.

When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing, how I had been living- 

they asked me why. But there’s no use in talking to people who have a home, they have no 

idea what its like to seek safety in other people, for home to be wherever you lied you head.

I was always an unusual girl, my mother told me that I had a chameleon soul. No moral 

compass pointing me due north, no fixed personality. Just an inner indecisiveness that was 

as wide as wavering as the ocean. And if I said that I didn’t plan for it to turn out this way I’d 

be lying- because I was born to be the other woman. I belonged to no one- who belonged to 

everyone, who had nothing- who wanted everything with a fire for every experience and an 

obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn’t even talk about- and 

pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzlez and dizzied me.

Every night I used to pray that I’d find my people- and finally I did- on the open road. 

We have nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore- except to make 

our lives into a work of art.

LIVE FAST. DIE YOUNG. BE WILD. AND HAVE FUN.

I believe in the country America used to be. I believe in the person I want to become, 

I believe in the freedom of the open road. And my motto is the same as ever- *I believe in 

the kindness of strangers. And when I’m at war with myself- I Ride. I Just Ride.*

Who are you? Are you in touch with all your darkest fantasies?

Have you created a life for yourself where you’re free to experience them?

I Have. I Am Fucking Crazy. But I Am Free." - Lana Del Rey

Just a quick update to give you some eye candy and to let you know I'm still alive ;-)

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all those lovely comments, you're the BEST!

bomb to make creative things. So I'm planning to do something BIG where I'll tell you more 
about very, very soon :) 

And I was wondering, what are you up to lately?!
