As you can tell from the look in my eyes, I am very desperate for summer to begin. This wind and stormy weather is absolutely not my thing. The wind is so hard that it keeps me awake at night and scares me to leave the house. And well the rain...
Many high-end fashion designers presented this trend on the catwalk. We go all white in the summer of 2016. Balenciaga loves the casual shopper model with many fringes while Dior carries the perfect duffle bag that looks very elegant and smooth. Ralph Lauren and Miu Miu combine the top handle trend with this one. The bags en blanc will be the taking over the streets the coming season, just like...
This is a special day! One for which I have been very excited a long time now! One of my best friends is getting married and I have a very special part in this wedding as her best (wo)man! And as a symbol for their love, I have locked a patlock on this bridge (the love lock). Obviously, the outfit in the picture is not what I will be wearing...
Some couples say Y A Y, others say N A Y when it comes to whether or not they appreciate guests wearing hats to their wedding. I can understand if the groom and bride-to-be rather don't want their guests wearing a hat on their big day. But from what you can expect from my style, I find hats super cheerful, festive, elegant and chic. One person who further enhanced my love for...
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...
Like the beautiful bloggers Rebecca of Raspberry & Rouge and Negin Mirsalehi prove, round is the way to handle things during Spring/Summer 2016. It is the new trend to follow and the bags by respectively Florian London and 3.1 Phillip Lim have the perfect circle on top that both clarify what I'm talking about. The big names in the fashion industry, like the fashion designers Miu Miu, Tods and Gucci also demonstrated on the catwalk...
Close your eyes and dream away. Imagine you go back in time, to a very romantic city. Somewhere in Paris, Venice, Carmel, San Sebastian or Prague. Some place where you experienced extreme happiness; away from all your sorrows and stress. A happy place, most likely a beautiful one with bright colours and many smiling faces. Sunrise or sunset, beach or on top of a snowy mountain, with friends...
Yesterday was the final day of Paris Haute Couture week. And again, it was mind-blowing. Haute Couture is a creation of exclusive custom-fitted design. Couture means dressmaking in French. This is high end fashion, made by hand from the start to finish only using the highest quality, expensive and exclusive materials. Not all labels can use this term as it has to meet certain well-defined standards. Only a...
On Monday I was invited to celebrate the 10th edition of MINT on the Modefabriek in Amsterdam, the b2b platform for sustainable fashion & lifestyle at the biannual fair during which different labels present their new collections to retailers, press, stylists and other professionals. Besides the celebrations I was very anxious to check out the new collection of the eco-friendly fashion brands. And when I started my round, my eyes were immediately drawn...
