#POSEONTOUR / #SQUADGALS TAKE IBIZA


pose-squadgals-ibiza-1
Remember the Pink Ladies from Grease, the Spice Girls, Destiny's Child or Taylor Swift's 
girl squad? Brace yourself for the #SQUADGALS with: high heels addict (Formula) Farah, tropical
journalist Gabrielle Koster, Asian travel beauty (Hashtag by) Lily, health freak Nathalie Kemna,
model appearing bookworm Sophie (Radish To Wear) & creative unicorn ME. We just took over
Ibiza and now we're delegating the virtual world ;-)

From a yacht trip with Smart Charter to Formentera to one hell of a spa day at paradise Atzaro - not 
to mention our Sam Friday villa, HELLO?! -  or yoga sessions with The Wellness Source in our own
back yard, a horrible night at Pacha (yes we had) and an uber delish acaï breakfast from Amazonia
which was served at our one and only la villa.

And this all thanks to the lovely ladies from Essential Ibiza, who were our tour guide for the
whole week. This was maybe 1/10 of our one week trip on Ibiza, so let me take you on this
virtual Ibiza tour...

#POSEONTOUR / ROUTE AUSTRALIA

POSE-aussie-1.1
In less than two weeks and 3000KM further - 3324 to be exact - we accomplished our own
improvised "Route Australia": PERTH - GERALDTON - CARNARVON - CORAL BAY - 
EXMOUTH - DENHAM - MONKEY MIA - KALBARRI - JURIEN BAY - PERTH.
(Can I get an) AMEN! Thank you.

From swimming with wild dolphins to an unexpected sky dive, livin' the (camping) life, silent disco's
at Fringe World Festival and running around topless on the highways of Western Australia. 
Can you imagine the song "Time Of My Life" pops in my head every single time I'm getting 

"An unexpected sky dive." ME? That girl that was too afraid to go on a plain and now jumped out 
of one? Well, that escalated quickly... It was my birthday present from the beloved BF. (Otherwise 
wouldn't have done it, EVER) Ihavethecutestboyfriendintheworld.com. Three guesses what my 
reaction was when he told me what he got me for my birthday: "HAHAHAHA!" But when the 
awkward silence began, I realized he was talking serious F-ing business. I ignored his proposal for 
as long as I could, but as we're getting closer to Jurien Bay, my inner-yolo came out and was totally 
in for it.

Endless road views, playing with quokka's (YAS I also scored a selfie!) and spotting kangaroos.
This was by far the best vacation EVAH.

#POSEONTOUR / THE BALI GIRL TOUR GUIDE

POSE-bali-guide-1.1
Besides all the tips my little island babe Nathalie gave me, the amount of treasures I found
on beyond beauty Bali is absolutely mind blowing! To be honest, it isn't that hard to find
ah-mazing spots, but finding the cherry on top of the smoothie - Bali has a healthy lifestyle -
is definitely a job for the die hards. Let's meet this lunatic: ME!

Are you ready for my (with) Who, What (to do), When (to stay), Where (to go), Why (should 
you visit) and How (long) Bali guide?

#POSEONTOUR #LINTERIOR / BALI HOME TOUR

POSE-bali-ametis-villa-1
Yeah, this was one of my villa's on Bali, Ametis Villa.We had a personal Butler - Putu, such a cutie - 
a private pool and garden, "room service" or better said, served breakfast everyday plus dinner, 
cocktails and Balinese massages, yep that's was all it I guess. Oh and I almost forgot, a surprise 
birthday cake. #NOBIGGIE

Of course I didn't forgot my surprise birthday cake and that "#nobiggie" was the biggest joke I ever 
made because let me be clear about something: this villa was heaven on earth, but then even better. 
HAHA, HALLELUJAH!

I know, I know everybody always says the "yeah it was so amazing, I want to stay here forever 
#takemeback" bullcrap, but seriously guys, I just can't deny I'm almost crying my eyes out when 
I'm looking at these pictures again. Oh my Gucci, this was the sh*t. Paradise (by the dashboard light) 
kinda sh*t. Some paradise I never experienced before. 

Wanna discover thé hidden gem of Bali? Then this is the place honeys.
Terima kasih for having me Ametis Villa, you brought my Bali trip to a whole next level!

#FACETIME / PROJECT SMILE BRILLIANT


POSE-smile-brilliant-1.1
You know how white teeth makes me feel? SEXY. It makes me wanna laugh even harder than
I already did, so the full attention are on my teeth and smile! Don't if know that's quite sexy but
that's okay :D

I'm not that "fake it till you make it" kinda girl, but I must confess: I used teeth whitener and
I'm proud of it! I always dreamed of that "semi" Hollywood smile - not that The Bold And The 
Beautiful kinda one, but a little less - but at the dentist it costs around $500,00 which is kinda
expensive, don't you think?

Then I discovered Smile Brilliant. And besides they detoxed me from my coffee addiction - 'cause 
let me tell you honey, it's not doing anythang good to ya teeth - they made my dream come true.
It's cheap, it's easy, it's fast - your teeth are white within a week! - and less scary than at the dentist
because you're doing it yourself at home. I wanted to be the guinea pig for this "Project White Smile"
and share my experience with you.

So let me show you the whole process of my Smile Brilliant teeth whitening experience.
There are actually just 6 steps, 1 week and you're done...

#TIMEMACHINE / BEST OF 2015

POSE-2015
"Never look back they said, it won't be fun they said". Well f*ck that, 'cause I just traveled through 
2K15 with my time machine and in one word: MAGICAL.

The selfies I took, the people I met, the food I ate, the parties I've been to, the 2827262 interior 
changes at my home, the places I've seen, the tattoo(s) I got, the outfits I wore, the offices I had 
and the hairdo's I rocked. 

Jesus Christ a lot happenend in 2015! Not to mention Bryan moved in with me in my little 
dream apartment in Amsterdam, which was a huge step but a dream come true. 

 I captured these moments one by one, because, thats what I do. And you were all there by my side. 
Mostly virtually, but hey, being there on- or offline, you were there. And I can't thank you enough for 
all your support! Your sweetest comments, messages, followings and especially: the love.

2016 is the year of changes, spreading even more love, discover the world and focussing on 
what makes me truly happy. And I recommend you to do the same. You're never too old or too 
late to set another goal or to dream a new dream. HAPPY 2K16 HONEYS!

LINTERIOR BY DANIELLE / TABLE CELEBRATION DECORATION

POSE-table-celebration-decoration-1  Hi POSERS! It's time for a new Linterior post by Danielle!

Because it was my mister lover lover's birthday last week, I decorated the whole living room and,
of course, the dining table. But HELP! My parents in law came to have dinner at our place as well.
So everything had to be p-e-r-f-e-c-t. And also because I love to talk to you and inspire your
interior thoughts, I had to go hard or go home. Although it was at home, but okay, you get me... ;)

Before I started with decorating my table, I looked at my favorite inspiration site: Pinterest.
This is what really catches my eye...

#POSEONTOUR / #SHOEPARTY WITH SYLVIE MEIS IN HAMBURG

POSE-hamburg-sylviemeis-1.1
...Stays in Hamburg. And here on the blog, of course ;-) So brace yourself, an overload of Hamburg 
pics is coming! #TheBloggerArmy was taking over this city last week for exactly 24 hours(!) And 
our weapons were shoes, lots of shoes. VanHaren shoes to be exact. The captain of our squad? 
The one and only Miss Sylvie Meis. And I had a date with her...

...A speed date to be exact. So cute Sylvie was all dressed up for our speed date! But Sylvie
isn't Sylvie without looking like a Hollywood star that walked right of a red carpet, or out of
Madam Tussauds. She looks as perf as a doll! Imagine how I felt next to this woman with my knitted
nerdy sweater, the most basic jeans ever and some flat, black booties... Hashtag underdressed!
Which was a totally new experience since I'm always "that girl" that's even more dressed up than the
bride on her wedding.

So this is how our (speed) date went: Sylvie: "Oeh, I looove your bag!" Me: "Thanks! Wanna swap it
for your dress?" Sylvie: "Hahaha!" Me: ":)". Photographer: "3, 2, 1... *Click*." We had fun.
The End.

#ADATEWITH / (SHOE)PORN WITH JAMIE FABER

POSE-shoeporn-so-jamie-faber-1 What about porn on your first date? Oh hell yes! Jamie Faber and I had some juicy shoeporn
on our date last month. FYI: we did it at her new office...

Who wouldn't say yes to a date with this hot shoe designer momma of So Jamie?
Uhm, hashtag total package?! Sorry fellas, she's already taken... ;)

What to wear to the girlboss of a shoe label? (Since I'm not owning a pair So Jamie's (yet)),
your best shoes evah. It was this or my Loubies, but since these DKNY ladies got a bit more
compliments - Jamie did so either ;) - I decided to rock these booties.

 A lot of "Zaandam" gossipz and memories came on the table, since this is our actual hometown.
And - of course - shoe talk. Jamie showed her favorite pair of her collection. And mine? Without a
doubt the OTK's! So bootielicious. But sold out, of course... She gave me a peek into her SS16
collection what I can't show you yet and is still a major secret and I've seen already, lekker puh! ;)

#ADATEWITH / KEEPING UP WITH DASH DOLLS' DURRANI POPAL

She works for the Kardashians at Dash, looks like a twin of Kim K., has the cutest German/
American boyfriend ever, lives in LA, owns a pink Bentley and now becomes a reality tv star. 
Uhm, D.? - a.k.a. Durrani - you're livin' the Hollywood life baby!

So during her busy life - which I totally understand - we could finally have some Dash-Doll-girl-talk 
on the phone. She told me everything about Dash Dolls the series, which is coming up Sunday
the 25th of October on the Dutch E! Entertainment channel at 21.00h for the first time. 

Durrani also told me what she really thought about the Kardashian sisters and how it's like
working at Dash. What she didn't know was that I recorded our conversation... ;) 

And the big Q, how did she actually became a Dash Doll? Watch the video and listen to my
phone date with Miss. D!

#POSEONTOUR: NEW YORK CITY GUIDE FOR DUMMIES

POSE-NYC-1
Like you read before: a few weeks ago I still was a NYC virgin. Luckily time has changed and I 
 can proudly say I f-i-n-a-l-l-y visited this beyond ah-some city! Now I want to share all my tips 
 with you. The (with) Who, What (to do), When (to stay), Where (to go), Why (should you visit) 
and How (long)

Remember, this is a guide for Dummies! Not for the advanced NYC travelers among us. 
 Or maybe you can also catch up some stuff you haven't discovered yet... Are you ready?!

LINTERIOR BY DANIELLE / LA MAISON DE MIMI ET TOI

POSE-maison-mimi-1
While Linsey was shining on the streets of Paris during Fashion Week, I (Danielle) visited a Parisian
who's living in Amsterdam: jewelry designer Mirjam from Mimi et Toi.

The first time I visited Mirjam at her in-cre-di-ble apartment in the South of Amsterdam is already
2,5 years ago! At that time I wrote a post about her for MissionToStyle. When I left her place that
day I fell in love with her gorgeous pieces of jewelry, with her home and with her. She told me her
life story and I was just so impressed by this all.

After she backpacked all over the world she started to work in a bead shop called Beadies.
That's where she started to learn all about how to make jewelry. She made amazing stuff and got
so many positive reactions. A store in Rotterdam called Shppr, even asked if she could make the
same jewelry for the store. So next to her job at Beadies she made her own collection and then,
Mimi et Toi was born.

A good friend of her started a jeans store. She got lucky and created her own studio over there.
Everything she makes is inspired of her own life. Her love for Paris, also the impressions and
emotions of her daily life. And when you're at her home you can see that her brand is a refection of
own her life. J'adore her style, it's so pure! And everything comes a same. It's a mix of vintage and
new, her life in Amsterdam and Paris, a jewelry designer and a mom.

#POSEONTOUR : ALL MY PFW LOOKS

pose-PFW-1
From the crazy New York City to the all time classic Paris. I must say: R-E-S-P-E-C-T for those 
who were in London and Milano inbetween as well. Because Jesus Christ! I'm exhausted...
 Fashion Month is hard, trust me. And I only did half of it! How do they keep up after this NYC 
 jetlag and still look so fresh at "the end station" called Paris? I'm still figuring out.

Let's talk Fashion! From the patchwork trend to the metallic trend, the GIANT sunglasses and 
flair pants. In all my 10 Fashion Week looks I wore another Fall/Winter trend what suits me most. 
And here are my last 5 looks for Paris Fashion Week. Now the big Q: what's your favorite?!

And what comes after all Fashion Weeks? The Cosmo Hairstyling Color Weeks! From Monday
 the 12th until Sunday the 25th of October you get a free color treatment at all Cosmo Hairstyling
 salons, in combination with a Cut&Style, Care&Style and Roots treatment. You can choose:
 babylights, balayage or bronde. Guess what I had chosen...

Now let's talk beauty! For me it was time for a new coupe. Did you noticed? You have to 'cause,
Cosmo Hairstyling cut off almost three meters of my hair and from a granny grey I'm a Bronde
lady now.  I'm more than happy with it! So what color are you going for?

LINTERIOR BY DANIELLE / WALK IN A NYC CLOSET

POSE-NYC-closet-1.3
Last week poser Linsey was shining at New York Fashion Week. Can you imagine how jealous I
(Danielle) was of her?! New York is on top of my bucket list! "The city that never sleeps." they say,
and Linsey confirmed ;-)

I wish I was a SATC girl and lived in The Big Apple just like Carrie did. Walking in the most
beautiful outfits all day, drinking and eating at the most fabulous hotspots from NYC. And
most of all, living in the cutest apartment with a walk-in closet that takes up 80% of my home.
Every girl's dream! Hey, a girl can dream, right? ;)

#POSEONTOUR: MY VIEW ON NYC

POSE-my-view-on-nyc-1
That moment after no sleep, a 7 hours flight and a war with your - way too heavy - suitcase in the
subway, you walk up the stairs from hell (I just meant the subway, and I was overreacting a bit), you
look up and there's no end at looking up because of these huge buildings. Then I realized, oh my
F-ing god, I'm literally in New York City right now. And at that moment, I lost my NYC virginity

 From sharing the plane with Doutzen Kroes to seeing Adriana Lima shining on the runway and
having Karlie Kloss as your neighbour while having lunch. And this was just a little glimpse of
my New York City "virginity" story. Yep, you read that right, I was a NYC virgin, or better said:
(until last week) I've never ever visited this city in my whole life before (I know I know, shame 
on me!) 

"I've never been to New York before." said no fashion junkie ever. Well, I said it and everybody was
always very surprised when this came out of my mouth. As blogger and fashionista (although I hate 
these two words, I can't found a better name for it) in heart and soul, visiting The Big Apple is just a
must. En when does this fashionista visit this city? Exactly, during New York Fashion Week.

The time had come: NYC brace yourself because HERE I COME! Or do I have to brace myself...?

#POSEONTOUR: ALL MY NYFW LOOKS

POSE-nyfw-looks-1
Amsterdam - New York City - Amsterdam - Paris. Yep, 'cause "honey I'm home!" But not for 
long though. Paris is waiting for me and guess why? Because of Fashion Week, again. But let's 
not go too fast and start at the beginning, which is #NYFW

I must tell you, as it was my very first time in this 12 million inhabitable city, WOW, I have no
words for it. Actually I do have a lot of words for it - more than a 1.000 to be exact - but I will tell 
you all about it very very soon. Let's talk about my New York (Fashion Week) looks first...

From culottes to patched mom jeans to disco ball suits and Mc Donald looks. Here are alllll my 
NYFW outfits in a row. And hell yeah I wanna know what you think!

LINTERIOR BY DANIELLE / DANIELLE'S FAVORITE INTERIORGRAMMERS

POSE-danielle-interiorgrammers-2
Hi everyone, time for a new post by Danielle! Remember my first post for POSE-BLOG from
last May? I showed you my own home sweet home. To create a fabulous home, I get inspired
by magazines, stores, Pinterest and - of course - the world famous Instagram.

As you already might know, I love to share my inspiration and ideas with you! So now I will
also share with you, tum tum tummmm... My favorite Interiorgrammers! Because I think you
will love them too.

#LINTERIOR BY DANIELLE / PROUD AS A PEACOCK CHAIR

POSE-linterior-peacock-1
Hello everyone, are you enjoying the Summer?! I love to see how everybody's enjoying their
holidays, BBQ's and festivals on Instagram. I also saw on Linsey's instagram she was chilling with
her bohemian peacock chair. That inspired me for a new #Linterior (by Danielle) post!

When I'm thinking of Summer, I'm thinking of three words: sun, outside and bohemian. The sun
because of a beautiful tanned skin. "Outside" because I love to do everyting outside: from dating a
friend to work outs. And bohemian because I love the lifestyle of Ibiza, which I integrate in my outfit
and interior.

Last June I was on holidays in Ibiza (lucky me!) and wrote a Linspiration post: "Ibiza at home". I told
you about how to bring some boho influeces to your home. Linsey picked that up pretty well and
made her own bohemian bedroom! With a beautiful white mosquito net around her bed and, where 
this post is all about, a peacock chair.

This chair is a definite musthave in every boho interior. It feels like summer in your living room,
bedroom or even backyard. I found some perfect Pinterest pinspiration pictures how to style a
peacock chair...

#LINTERIOR BY DANIELLE / PINK PRIDE

POSE-pink-pride-1

Hey girlllll! It's me again, Danielle, with my (L)interior styling tips. This weekend is gay weekend!
Because we have Gay Pride in Amsterdam. The whole city is up side down from street parties to
club parties and the famous Canal Parade. This inspired me for my new #linterior post: Pink Pride.

Pink is not only thé gay color, but also Linsey's favorite color. When we were little girls Linsey
loved to play in my pink bedroom. Since we are living in an adult home with our boyfriends we
can't live in a princess room anymore. (But we do live like Princesses though ;)).

But I found the perfect solution for little pink details at home that your boyfriend
(or girlfriend) wouldn't even notice. Here are my secret tips...

#LINTERIOR BY DANIELLE / DANI'S BOOK CLUB

POSE-danielle-book-club-1
Call me a nerd but I LOVE books! But honestly, more as a decoration than reading them... 
Sorry for my honesty, but I must not be the only one! ;)

Last weekend I visited the Modefabriek, which is the biggest fashion fair in The Netherlands.
There was a huge book corner with loads of magazines and not to mention all the books with 
these beautiful covers. 

I have some killers books at home. My latest purchases are Selfish from my girl Kim Kardashian 
and Alexa Chung's book "IT". Of course I don't want to store them in my bookcase 'cause then you 
don't see the covers. And if you're using them as a decoration, you have to judge the book by it's 
cover! So I decorate it on the table and made a cool Instagram picture of it, if I may say so myself ;)

My ultimate favorite book is definitely the one of thé Dutch designer Iris van Herpen. I bought it at 
an exhibition of her collection a while ago. I'm just in love with her creations! Especially the famous 
skeleton dress. I'm still looking for the best way to decorate my favorite book.
