I have a new love! A new obsession that has to stay close to me, day and night. Not only because of its good looks, but also because it is elegant, compact, practical and made of the smoothest leather! I guess you know what I'm talking about. Because seriously, isn't this the cutest bag ever?! The rubber shoulder strap is a fun and casual touch to this New York Style bag. I...
After living in Amsterdam for 5 years, I found myself being a tourist in this city after all. Because these days I call San Francisco home so that means that when we visited Amsterdam for Christmas, we had to find ourselves a place to stay. We are the kind of couple who love the charm of fun boutique hotels and bed and breakfasts as we find it a personal,...
We were truly lucky to spend two days in Lake Tahoe, a beautiful place at the border of California and Nevada. In summer you can go on the greatest outdoors activities like biking, hiking and sailing, but also in winter it is a great place to be as it turns into a true Winter Wonderland. There are several areas where you can ski while you are overlooking the sapphire-blue waters...
When it is cold, dark and dreary outside, it is easy to fall into a winter-depression. And even though I always try to ignore the fact that I'm less active and merry in winter, I can understand that others simply can't. Last week I published the article with 5 reasons why to love winter. And in addition to that article, I share this look which will let any girl love...

It was so much fun to be back in the Netherlands for Christmas and seeing all of my friends and family. I loved being on my bike again and crossing the canals of Amsterdam to visit my favourite shops and cafes. However, it was also a huge shock in terms of temperatures after I got used to the California weather. And that is why I show you this...
As I told you in this article last week, I don't set any new year resolutions. However, I do like to make a lot of new travel plans. As I live in the USA, I made a list of the most amazing places in this country that I would love to visit in 2017. As always, my list is quite extensive (a girl can dream right) but I limited...
Everybody is looking for the perfect work-life balance nowadays. And I guess that many of you have put this one on your list of new year resolutions. The truth is, it is quite hard to find the perfect balance. Not only because we are very ambitious to find the best job and the highest position, but also because we want the perfect social life with many friends, holidays and sport...
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,...
Happy 2017! I sincerely hope that you had the best New Year's Eve with all your friends and family along your side. It is the time of champagne, glitter dresses and fire works. But it is for many of us also the time to set new resolutions, plans and ambitions. The new year is seen as a fresh start and the perfect moment to set personal goals, like start working...
