When you reach a certain age like I did, summertime is synonymous weddings. And as you can tell from the pictures, I am quite content with that fact. I love weddings and the entire fuzz around it. This summer I was lucky to be invited to a wedding that was held on the Dutch countryside, the Veluwe. The dress code was tenue de ville, which is in my experience...
Jeremy Scott, the notorious designer of Moschino, loves his women. He is the favourite stylist of Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Madonna and Katy Perry and in January he was proclaimed 'womenswear designer of the year'. He has given Moschino, since his took up his post as creative director, a total revival. Remember the I'm a barbie girl, Fast food meets fast fashion (McDonalds) and Ready to bear collections. Or the 90s...
Pure beauty is hard to find these days in the Western world, especially things that weren't created at the expense of someone else. We want it all, by preference as soon as possible and at a low cost. As I was walking through these gardens of Puento Romano in Marbella, on my way to the amazing Restaurant Serafina, I was taking a closer look at these flowers, that have been...
This weekend I had the best weekend ever with the most beautiful woman in the world: my mother. As you might know from the article "Andalusian Alleys", my grand grand grandparents bought a casita in the South of Spain in the 1950's. And my mother and I thought it was a good idea to spend some quality time there, our second home. We left our guys in NL so we could do the...
Some people believe in the Bible, but I rely on Vogue. In life you go through a lot of changes. For example, when I was younger I was a alter girl and wore a mini surplice. But soon I figured out that I was more the type of girl for mini skirts and colorful dresses like this Paul & Joe Sister dress. You understand that also the bible was soon exchanged for...

Today I show you some of my favorite pieces of apparel as well as the benefits of fast fashion. Zara is the world's leader of fast changing fashions but there are more such as Mango, H&M, Primark and Abercrombie & Fitch. They offer a few basic models and reorders are not very common. Designers design new items on a daily basis and are able to deliver stylish products within three weeks...
Get the look: Cut out dress by Alexander Wang x H&M (buy similar one at asos.com), converse all stars, feather hairclip by By PiPit and Otra-Parte Bag. It is my birthday, yeah! And as a twin, I first need to congratulate my sister - remember her?! I quite often hear people say that they don’t like celebrating their birthday. But not me; I always love to honour the next chapter in...
Get the look: Think x Wayuu bag, Pepe Jeans Jeans, Converse sneakers, white lace top and blue sunglasses. My eyes started to sparkle, my heart filled with hope. For years I had believed that I had the greatest suitcase as it fitted so much stuff. But once I set eyes on this bicycle case, I embraced the thought that my limits of luggage could be further pushed. Besides the positive effect on my holiday clothing, it also looks...
Two strangers, a man and a woman. Waiting, dreaming, wondering around on a deserted platform. No strings that seem to attach, aren't there? Maybe, if you look closer you will see some comparisons; they both wear black, both wrapped in leather and both carry some fine pieces of Italian craftsmanship. Yes, that must be it; these two share a love for leather bags! I already told you in the...
