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...
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...
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...
Glitters, glisters and sparkles..! The more the better at Christmas time. They assure the ultimate party spirit and blend so well with all the Christmas lights. Plus, you make a shiny entrée when you enter the venue where you will celebrate Christmas. There is no other piece as vibrant and fun as a sequin dress so it might not come as a surprise that I reached for this iconic holiday...
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...
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...
I'm ready to jump into fall with some of my favourite picks from the Scandinavian label, Ecco! Because the new Ecco Shape Collection for Fall/Winter 2017 is revolutionary with beautiful bags and shoes! You will survive the cold in style with killer heels without giving in on comfort because Ecco designed an innovative collection. The high heel is reinvented as these heels look 15 mm higher than they are in reality....
Whether you have an office job or are a freelancer, whether it's full or part time and whether you are a banker or fashion editor, you'll need a workspace. And whether you have the corner office, a flexible workspace or work from home, you'll need a desk. I personally like a clean, personal and inspiring desk. If you are coffee-addict, your coffee cup will be on the table and...
