#TIMEMACHINE / STOP AND SMELL THE FLOWERS

Happy flowers and happy sunday! What are you up to? :)

#SHOPPING / IT BAGS FOR IT GIRLS

It bags. An item any girl should own. To my opinion every girl is an it girl so yes, you deserve that
bag and yes, we can sit with them! You don't need to be rich for owning one. Some have to spare
some money for years and years. And some don't. Of course everybody wish they were that last
person (me too though) but hey, if you worked your but off, that feeling of finally having that bag
you dreamed of, is actually priceless, am I right ladies? ;)

I got an eye on one particular bag... Which one? Check the fourth picture. Yep, that one! 

With the leopard print... ;) Do you have an it bag? Or are you dreaming about one?

#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?

#PFW

Feeling like a Paris Fashion Week pro already!  Driving to the Leonard Paris show - which was 

WOW! - from running late for my Escada meeting. At the most wonderful location ever by the way. 

A showroom with the breathtaking Eiffel Tower as a view. That was definitely an "oh my Gucci 

(or Escada?)" moment.

Some of you told me I look a bit like Rachel Zoe in this outfit. Well hello, thank you!!! I think that's
the biggest compliment you can get from anyone! Who doesn't wanna look like her?! So again, 

thanks a mill for that :)

So, what is your favorite Paris Fashion Week look so far?!

#TBT

"Never look back" they say. Well, okay, normally I would agree. But looking back to 

good times ánd good outfits is no problemo, right? Like this outfit!

Shot exactly one year ago (oh gosh, time flies). Bo ho ho, it definitely is a boho look 

just before Christmas. What do you think of this outfit? :)

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!

TBT

These pics have been shot last September. Still one of my favorite locations I've ever seen. 

But that must sound logical if the location was a gigantic castle. Kasteel de Haar to be exact.

And every princess needs one, right?! ;)

This must be Wonderland! But unfortunately I'm not Alice… 

I'm blonde though, does that count as well?

And what is it with looking at old pictures and think; "ahhh, that dress" or "oh my gawwwd, 

I forgot about that jacket!" They're still in my closet and I can wear them like right now if I want.

Am I the only one thinking like this? Please tell me I'm not… ;)

FLASHBACK FRIDAY

Why am I not wearing these items more often?! Maybe because my closet is full of stuff? 

I will use that as excuse than… 

Those shoes(!!!) I was obsessed with them. And now while I'm seeing them shine again, I still am.
What about the cutest dress in the world?! I also found it cool that Nicky Hilton was wearing exactly 

the same one.

STRIKE A POSE

I wondered how it looked like when I was living in the black and white era. Voila!

Sometimes this can add something extra to your pics.

(PS. I'm not a cowgirl. But it would have been cool if I was... Are you one?)

Remember to vote for me for the Zalando Blogger awards!

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

Maybe I'm overreacting a little bit, but it looks like I cannot get enough of the Kingsday mood. 

Secretly a little touch of Michael Kors orange and a Freakin' Dutch beanie because ja, 

I'm a proud Dutchie! ;) And I didn't even said something about my Nola Nova Amsterdam shirt. 

I always wondered what you not-Dutchies think of the style of Dutch people. 

Like Mister George Kotsiopoulos said when I met him, the ugly Fresh Prince of Bel Air 

type of style... Haha!

STRIKE A POSE

I don't have a lot to tell today. And not because I have nothing to do - the complete opposite - but
because I'm totally speechless of what's happening this whole week. WOW.

Dreams came true this week and I should save all my words for tonight's presentation
about me and my blog! :)

For the last time, wish me luck?! 

STRIKE A POSE

This jacket. That is actually the only thing I have to say about this outfit...

One other thing: HELLO WEEKEND!

STRIKE A POSE

And hell yes the forecast was right! This city - by this city I mean Amsterdam, of course - is so
much more beautiful in Spring. But what isn't actually? 

Maybe my beanies... Where I have to say "see you soon" to within a couple of weeks (or maybe days?)
I counted them, I own ... beanies actually (whoopsi!)

Enough about the beanies! Let's talk about the outfit. And let's start with the most important item; SHOES.
Thanks to Fashionchick and Blink - in collaboration with Claes Iversen - I added a new pair of
killers to my shoe collection.

With these elegant heels you're almost done for the whole outfit. Well, you can't walk the streets naked (duh!)
But what I meant is that these sandals have the X-factor and can make any outfit amazing, just like this one.

You likey likey? ;-)

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?!

EVENT

While rushing through fashion shows - with a major hangover - yep, my own big fat fault - I was 

also strolling around at Holland's biggest fair; Modefabriek (translation: Fashion Factory) with my 

feather friend Arzu.

I visited one of my friends at Vincence for example, an amazing brand new brand which you
really have to keep an eye on! And So Jamie gave me a huge smile on my face when I saw her
newest shoe collection.

All depressed - and inspired - I left de Modefabriek because of the too many beautiful items I spotted.
But as long as I got my suit 'nd beanie, all dressed up in M by M, I'm doing good... ;-)

STRIKE A POSE

BOHO HO, Merry Christmas! ;-) 

I know, I know, no Christmas yet, but I can't wait any longer.

Actually I'm not that bohemian kinda girl, although I really like the style. I feel like going to Ibiza with
this outfit! *I wish*. But this time I'm staying home with the holidays. What are your holiday plans?

Have a happy Sunday!

STRIKE POSE

Me no wearing colors? Nope, not today. And it felt different. 

I felt cool instead of happy. Rihanna kinda cool instead of Paris Hilton kinda happy(?)
Okay, bad example...

It rarely happens I dress so colorless. Why? I don't know. I think colors just makes me happy.
But every now and then I'm having a (color)day off.

STRIKE A POSE

No, I'm not sad. Maybe because I'm dancing? But I would love to dance more. 

I started dancing when I was a little girl and quitted about three years ago. From street dance to ballet,
jazz and my favorite; hip-hop. And of course I don't count the times while I was dancing the night
away at parties (duh!) 

Now I'm searching for the perfect dance school here in Amsterdam. Someone any tips?!

(Dress HERE - Jacket HERE - bag in big HERE.)

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 ;-)
