#STRIKEAPOSE / SUIT FROM HEAVEN

Okay, before I start with my story, I want to warn you for my craziness. But THIS, ladies 

and gentlemen, is the best beyond amazing suit in the world. Am I overreacting? Not at all! 

I wish I was born in this mermaid suit and I'm so taking this into my grave (#SorryNotSorry). 

No one - I repeat; no one - is allowed to take over this suit. This suit belongs to me and I will bring
it to heaven with me when it's the time. Which hopefully is over at least 100 years by the way. Oh and
trust me, I would still love this outfit and I'm gonna rock it when I'm 125 years old! (I guess...)

What is your ultimate favorite item in your wardrobe?

#STRIKEAPOSE / BOOM CLAP!

Why does this whole shoot makes me think of Charli XCX's song Boom Clap? Oh, you definitely
know that song! "Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart, the beat goes on and on and on and". Luckily
you didn't hear that live though ;) Back to my question... Maybe it's because her videoclip is shot in
my hometown and is actually a little recap of my Amsterdam life.

Which bike do you think is mine? Nope, none of them. Shame on me! But I don't ride a bike
that often. Let me correct that; I never ride a bike (whoops!) Why? Please don't ask... Riding scooters
and cars is more my thing I guess. Does that make a bad Amstermadame? Don't think so ;)

If you could choose, riding a: bike, scooter or car, what would you choose?!

#STRIKEAPOSE / I WANNA FLY AWAY

Remember last week's sneak peek? Why hello there total outfit! I almost believed I could fly with
this blouse/dress/whateveryougorgeousthing around my hips.

Like I told you before, this blouse is magical. You feel totally caught up in a slow motion scene moment
when it's flowing around in the wind like that. Haha! But I mean it though...

Sooo, what do you think of this look?

#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?

#POSEONTOUR

Did you noticed I cannot stop talking about the Danish food? Well, sorry I'm not sorry… ;) 

Luckily I wore like four layers in this outfit because I don't think you wanted to see me in bikini 

after our massive food attack at the Torvehallerne (hashtag coolspot!) which is also known as 

the food market.

As you can see I'm still in the NYE slash Xmas mood with a tiny little pop of glitter. 

 No. Actually, I'm lying. Glitter is my favorite color and I wear it any time of the year.
#whatevahIdoWhatIwant! ;) So imagine how Christmas feels like for me!

Besides the Torvehallerne, some other foodporn places are: Barbiebbq, Höst, Laura's Bakery, 
Granola and soon loads and loads of coolspots which I'm gonna tell you all about it in  
"My view on Copenhagen" post! ;)

For now, happy fri-yay!

STRIKE A POSE

Working hard? Check! Less sleep? Check! Too busy? Check! Dreaming of my CPH trip? CHECK!

Checkmate baby… In my checked outfit. Because you know how I like matchy matchy ;-)

STRIKE A POSE

Yes it's a dress, not just a dress. Nothing more, nothing less. Okay, and some major killer heels and 

the most colorful place in Amsterdam ever. But if you look at my outfit, it's actually quite "simple". 

Well, simple in my way then… ;) 

I love to wear colors. It makes me happy. But because of this rainbow place I didn't need to 

wear any colors at all. Because, wow! How fascinating is this spot?! That made me happy enough. 

Imagine me wearing colors at this location. Woah!!! I think I would have been trippin', haha.

This is the most photographed place from Amsterdam. So if you're here, this is definitely a hotspot 

to check out :)

A DATE WITH...

I love dating! With friends. Noooo, not the kind of dating you were thinking of ;) I actually hate that, haha.

But about this date: I went to the Albert Cuyp market (in Amsterdam) with my auntie - slash fellow 

blogger - Dani from Mission To Style. Have you ever been here? :)

We don't see each other weekly - although we want to - so when we meet, we're getting so hyper 

and can't stop talking. Just like last time. We have so much to talk about that we tell 6 stories in once. 

Hahaha, recognizable?!

Smoothies, food, flowers, (fake) furs. This day at the market was so much fun! "Wooow, look at this!!!" 

and "Oh my gosh, that's so you!" are things we said to each other a lot that day.

So let's go market shopping with Dani!

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

Hello skirt. Hello Rijksmuseum park that looks a bit like Jardin de Tuileries. If you have 

ever been there in Paris you would understand. You see the similarities? 

Talking about Paris. When I'm going to see you again my dear? No things planned yet.

The thought - and dream - of living there still runs through my mind.

Am I ready to move to another city? Sometimes I think hell oui I am! And other times 

I'm already getting sick of the thought. What to do, what to do…

Do you (or have you) ever lived in another city where you actually come from?

TRAVEL DIARY

Hey Sunday! The lasts weeks have been so busy I wasn't able to post you guys on a daily base. 

But I've been busy with HUGE plans for the blog. And when I say huge, I mean it ;)

Lilla Nygatan, a little street in Gamla Stan (in Stockholm) that means a lot to me, even when I never 

visited yet. The street where lthe headquarters of my favorite brand is located. Ja, Acne Studios(!) 

I was there and I have proof! Check photo 4 ;)

Our last day - after a good night of partying - we went to the old part of Stockholm, Gamla Stan.
Gorgeous is the perfect word to describe it. My gosh, I think I'm in love with this city...

Stockholm you were amazing to me! 

STRIKE A POSE

Work, work, work. Thats all what we do. At least I'm doing it almost 24/7. 

And I love it! To be honest...

Like they always say; "be happy you've got a job!" And I have three. Yes, you read that right. 

Three wonderful jobs where I cannot choose one to quit from. That's not an option, 

you understand me?! ;)

Working freelance for the biggest newspaper of The Netherlands is one of them. 

Second: graphic designer at the biggest fashion website of The Netherlands, I love Fashion news.

 And last - but definitely not least - most of the time goes to this baby, my blog. 

Free time? I'm trying to find it. And I know its important but I'm still figuring out a balans...

What do you do for work? In very curious :)

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!

STRIKE A POSE

F-i-n-a-l-l-y I'm showing you my Acne purchase (remember?), my faux leather pants. My favorite 

piece in my wardrobe at the moment. Which I can and cannot wear at the moment because of this 

crazy weather here in Holland. Hot cold hot cold hot...

This is my I'm-cool-at-the-office look and I actually was just done working for ILFN when I
shot these pics with my fellow blogger Julien.

And I actually thought of selling these red Balenciaga monsters. What the hell was I thinking?!
Talking about selling, I'm thinking about starting a Shop My Closet, what do you think about that? :)

STRIKE A POSE

No no no, this is not my ex-boyfriend's jeans. It's a vintage find. A little Levi's diamond I found last 

weekend at one of Amsterdam's biggest vintage shops Episode.

 We all know this boyfriend fit is a huge trend. And not less important; it's also very, very comfy.

So why not wearing it with my Acne blouse from the men section? 

I still wanted to keep this look sexy. And what else is sexier than a pair of killer Loubies? 

You tell me... ;)

STRIKE A POSE

Oh weather, you're making me smile, a lot! I heard it's gonna be 20(!!!) degrees next Sunday, 

are you freaking kidding me?! Are we skipping Winter ánd Spring? No problem for me ;)

Wearing an Isabel Marant look a la tomboy style. What do you think? I actually love it.

It definitely fits my mood at the moment.

Happy friday honeys! What are you up to?!

STRIKE A POSE

Oh hello there Spring! And hello there giant daisy on my - not so trained and not really tanned - belly!

When I feel like a season is coming, I wanna dress like it. And too bad Winter didn't really rung 

the bell... (ahhumm!)

And not to mentioned the oh-so amazing location! Which we Amsterpeople call; 

The Snake House (het Slangenpand). 

I was *obsessed* with the overwhelming yellow from this building so I stopped and stared at it for 

a couple of minutes. This building screams for a photoshoot! So guess what I did... ;)

STRIKE A POSE

There a two types of styles where I'm obsessed with at the moment.The bohemian a.k.a. boho one 

and the comfy urban look. Why? Please don't ask. Because it's comfortabel and not boring at all? 

Or maybe because you can wear any color of the rainbow in these types of styles. Maybe...

At least I wanna rock it well on a lazy day with loads of colors and comfortness ;-)

STRIKE A POSE

I just cannot get enough of this amazing knit. I'm a little (over)obsessed with the pastel colors in it. 

Call me a nerd but I can look at it for hours. Yes, like I said, you can call me a nerd ;)

The weather is getting better so it's already time for skirts and tights, yay!

STRIKE A POSE

Normally there's a calm before the storm. Well, I can assure you, not in my world! 

Amsterdam Fashion Week - or MBFWA - kicked off yesterday evening but the madness 

started way earlier than that.

I haven't got a lot of energy left, but I have to deal with that. It's not the end of the world and like
I said; I will rest when I'm dead.
