Amsterdam

There are a few typical Dutch things I miss now that I live the expat life in San Francisco. So when we were back in Amsterdam for Christmas I made sure I feed those cravings. Like eating 'bitterballen' (kind of fried meatballs) and 'ontbijtkoek' (kind of honey cake) as well as visiting my favourite places. Like the Museum of Bags and Pursus (Tassenmuseum Hendrikje). As I am a big baglover,...

Last call!!! Our last day in the beautiful Amsterdam has come as we will fly to San Francisco tomorrow morning. I can tell you: I'm ready for a new adventure!! We moved out of our apartment last weekend, hugged our family and friends bye bye and I compiled the best outfit for our flight to San Francisco! My mother taught me to dress in style as you can only make a...

It's all over my face: I'm excited!! Very excited! Yesterday I told you all about our next big adventure, being our move the other side of the world. Yes, it is finally going to happen! On Wednesday we will get on the plane that will take us to San Francisco, The City by the Bay! So only 4 days left in the beautiful Amsterdam. As from 2011 I...

The festival of the year is kicking off this weekend and that means the festival season is on! I'm talking about Coachella, an annual music and arts festival in the City of Eternal Sunshine in California. Last year I showed you my favourite looks of Coachella 2015 as it an all-festival-long fashion show. You can expect that such a report will appear again on this blog this year with all the trends, do's...

Ohhhhh, how much I love the spring feeling. Not only because it's getting warmer and the days are getting brighter, but also because I can pull my favourite bright coloured items out of my closet again. Like the blue heeled boots that are definitely belonging to my top 3 of shoes. The dress is by Filippa K and I love to wear it as the whites always make you look...

After all the excitement, love and happiness that predominated the past few weeks because of our fabulous and magical wedding, it is time to get back to normal. Obviously with all the beautiful memories in mind and a little pain in my heart as it all went by so fast. But now that my husband and I are back from our perfect mini-honeymoon in Zermatt, it is time...

You might find this a strange combination: cows, coffee shops and the Red Light District. Three separate things that I do not admire on their own. But they are typical and characteristic for the city I love. The city I have been living for 5 years now. The city wherein I got happily married this weekend. And even though we are still recuperating from our wonderful and perfect...

There is almost nothing that beats going for a coffee on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Just my magazine, a cappuccino with soya milk and the perfect bag! In winter particularly when it is cold outside and the days are short I love going to Bakhuys for a homemade croissant or a little cake - hard choice you know;). Here I sit back and loosen-up while I take the time to find...

Grab your bag and go to Nacional Amsterdam. Not only for the truffle fries, but more for its relaxed vibe and casual atmosphere. It is a classic French bistro with a touch of New York where you can have breakfast, brunch, lunch, bites and dinner. It is another hotspot by Casper Reinders in the city centre of Amsterdam. As you can tell by the combination of tea and...

A faux fur bag is perfect to accomplish a look that has a timeless and elegant appeal. Even though it is one of the bag trends for Autumn/Winter 2016, it is a contemporary bag and a good investment as it remains in style for ever. For a baglover like me, this handbag is ideal as it is very nice to cuddle this bag. It is there to be loved and it...
