Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I'm so super excited! It is our first Thanksgiving is the United States and we are invited by the greatest couple to come over and celebrate. And that means a lot of bubbles and the best homemade Turkey of the town. But now that Thanksgiving is here, we also know that the famous Black Friday is coming close. Tomorrow stores will go crazy with their discounts and a lot...
'And what are you doing here?' That was what the officer asked me after I sat down next to my husband to apply for a social security number. He looked at me like I was just a spouse of some guy with a Visa. I tried to explain that I was there to apply for a social security number, but he replied shortly that I didn't have any rights...
I really hate to admit it, but things change when you grow older. Where I could party until 6 am in the morning when I was in my early twenties, I now don't think it is that bad that the clubs in San Francisco close at 2 am. And where I could drink a lot without noticing anything the next day, I know feel fizzy after two cocktails!...
Now that fall is here, the weather can surprise you with warmer and colder days. Even within the day itself, the climate can change completely. For example, when Jill was taking these pictures of me last weekend after we had brunch in Nob Hill, it was slightly raining. You can not really tell from the pictures, but the truth is that those sunglasses were more to protect my mascara than...
Now that November is here, I'm getting in the holidays vibes. Not only because today I show you the first holiday party outfit of the year, but mainly because the Christmas lights are hanging throughout San Francisco. In California they actually decorate the palm trees with those little lights which is a whole new experience for a Dutch girl like me. It's magical, beautiful and very special. And every night...
Last weekend we visited the trendy Phoenix hotel in San Francisco to have brunch at their restaurant Chambers. I was wearing this amazing pink overcoat, a green suede dress, my new SUTRO boots and this fabulous python bag. A perfect look for Fall in California. Because to be honest, Fall isn't that bad actually on the West-coast of the USA. The weather is mostly nice and easy, with...
A little black dress is the crown of elegance in any woman's wardrobe, an item that every fashionable lady should have in her closet. A LBD is versatile, refined, sexy and powerful. You can dress it up as well as dress it down and you can wear it all year round. Your dress can be your statement piece, like I did today by adding these minimal accessories. Or you can...
Now that we are living in San Francisco you might have noticed that we have turned into little travel addicts! My last trip was to New York 3 weeks ago and this weekend we are going on another one..! A road trip to be exact and we expect that there will be a lot of wine and food involved. We have been planning this trip for a long -...
One of my favourite things to do in the weekends is to jump on my bike and explore San Francisco! From Hayes Valley to the Painted Ladies and via Fillmore Street to the Marina to enjoy a coffee with the beautiful view over the Golden Gate Bridge. On my way back I always stop at the Palace of Fine Arts, an extraordinary monumental building originally constructed for an art exposition in 1915....
As soon as I saw the new collections on the catwalk during Milan Fashion Week last week, I got very excited; like 'tickles in my tummy'-excited. As Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Missoni and Emilio Pucci are high on my list of favorite designers, I kept a close eye on their new ready to wear collection. I noticed a new Spring Summer 2017 trend that included a lot of colors in...
