#STRIKEAPOSE

And from now on it's done with the tropical posts. Unfortunately. Back to the Dutch reality! 

That means where Summer almost doesn't exist and where I have to wear jackets over my t-shirts.

But hey, I live in the heart Amsterdam! Which is not a punishment at all. And monday this town will be 

upside down. Why? KINGSDAY. The day that makes you hate the color orange but actually still wearing it. 

 So here's a little orange warm-up to get in the mood for monday. And did you noticed I'm wearing all 

the items on my shirt!? (just saying.)

What do you think of the color orange?

STRIKE A POSE

Isn't that the best thing to think of? PINK. I can be a girly-girl sometimes. Oh sorry, I meant
almost always ;) Glitter is not a color so pink must be my favorite. What's your favorite color!?

This must be the cutest top I've ever wore. I also have a sweater version of this though!
The perfect version for Fall I must say :)

Oh and by the way, yes I bought something at Acne… Woopsie!
Can you guess what it is? More about that very soon ;)

STRIKE A POSE

Hey Saturday! Are you ready for easter?! Maybe I'm a little absent but I need to think of my health.
But hey, what's more important than that? I hope you forgive me ;)

This is the look I was wearing last thursday on my busy press day. The two important things you need
to wear on a day like this are: fashionable and comfy. And then you get this :)

Have an awesome weekend!

Hello Monday...

STRIKE A POSE

My fellow blogger friend Joyce is in town for a couple of weeks. So that means quality time!

Having lunch, shooting pics and walking trough 9 straatjes in sunny Amsterdam.

Happy weekend sweethearts!

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

Loving animals is something I inherit from my mom. So you understand my Marc by 
Marc Jacobs mouse flats are one of my favorites to wear. 

And when I saw this cutie kitty dress, I immediately fell in love. So you're not hearing
 me complain about yesterdays weather that was a little less better than last week. 
I could finally wear this beastly combo! Perfect for a lunch date with my bff Candace at 
Pllek and after that some shopping.

STRIKE A POSE

While I was driving trough Amsterdam for work, I came across this wall. I was looking at 

my shoes and looking at the wall. Shoes, wall, shoes, wall. And then I stopped the car in 

a split of a second and screamed to Joy: "Outfit pictures! Here! Yay!" That's what I call a bit 

of a lucky moment :)

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

After a having a drink at the opening of Denham's newest store, 

I also went on an unexpected visit to the opening of a new vintage store called Phintage. 

After lots of compliments about my Marc by Marc Jacobs jeans - which I am obsessed 

with lately - something magical happened. I found a little treasure in that store what was 

on my bucket list of "items to have", YAYY! Stay tuned... ;)

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

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 ♥

COLLECTION

Yes we should! I just bought this Marc by Marc Jacobs polkadot jeans last week and I 

think I have already wore it 4 times.

Happy Sunday :)

Jeans and clutch,  Marc by Marc Jacobs - Knit, H&M - coat, RED Valentino

Wishing you a merry Chris.. ehm, happy Easter! ;) Hope you're all having a 

gigantic breakfast with lots of eggs and chocolate, hihi.

And say hi to my enormous friend/rabbit; Oliver ♥ 

This little guy is found on the streets which I seriously cannot believe because 

he's the sweetest and we give him all the love he deserves.

Every photographer has their own sense of style and signature in their pictures. 

I really like to work with different kind of photographers for innovation and today 

it's my old friend Desley's turn. #loveit (check the 4th picture!)

Wearing a million dollar look or looking like you're wearing it? 

Are you a big spender or a copycat? How far would you go for a designer outfit? 

Well, my solution is mixing high end with the "normal" brands

One outfit is worth €2700,- and the other just €225,-

Which one would you go for? Click here below for more real or fake looks...

TRAVEL DIARY

Too many to catch up about in too little time with my Spanish señorita. 

So that's get up early, chatting, shopping, eating, shopping, eating and going to 

sleep incredibly late. But we're women, multitasking is no problem for us ;) 

Well, here an MEGA overload of my view on Madrid.

Today shopping was our main goal so first we went to Spanish biggest warehouse El Corte Ingles. 

After that we grabbed some lunch at the cute El Jardin which is around the corner of 

Calle de Jose Ortega y gasset, the chicest and most expensive street of Madrid. 

And that's where the magic happened... (stay tuned!)

STRIKE A POSE

With the hairdo and big gold earrings I felt like a chiquita/latina. And I was just going to 

grab lunch with bf Bryan..

Since I have my Mulberry cookie bag, I'm SO into the scallop trend. Not only from Mulberry, 

but from Chloé as well. But hey, I'm not a billionaire, so a scallop shirt from Primark is fine

 for me too! ;)
