When my boyfriend asked me to marry him, I was over the moon! Clearly for the obvious reason that I would be marrying the man of my dreams and we could throw a big party for all our friends and family. But also because I could start hunting for the most beautiful gown ever. So it didn’t take long before my personal orientation process for the perfect wedding dress...
You might find this a strange combination: cows, coffee shops and the Red Light District. Three separate things that I do not admire on their own. But they are typical and characteristic for the city I love. The city I have been living for 5 years now. The city wherein I got happily married this weekend. And even though we are still recuperating from our wonderful and perfect...
Even though I'm not officially married yet, you must allow me to give you one advice. If you are happily engaged, please consider to organise a pre wedding dinner (or rehearsal dinner) for your closest family and friends. Normally such a dinner is held the night before the wedding (which would be tonight in our situation), but we decided to do our pre wedding dinner last Saturday so there would be enough time to recover and...
Yesterday was the last day of fashion month! And again it has been a true celebration to watch all the shows in which the most famous designers showed their new collections for Fall/Winter 2016-2017. But also on the streets of the four big fashion capitals, it was a true fashion party. Starting in New York with temperatures that were too cold to go outside whereafter London was calling. Milan...
When I was asked to be the ambassador of the launch of the new concept of a well known Dutch brand and shop, I was thrilled and honored. After 65 years Duifhuizen wanted to introduce a new concept and I was very excited to be part of that. In 1953 Mr. Duifhuizen senior started on the attic by making wallets by hand on the requests of his customers and...
I feel like a rebellious princess in this tutu dress in combination with the sneakers and bomber jacket. The Furla bag completes this look as it has a distinctive playful spirit, contemporary elegance and a joyful lifestyle. Furla is an Italian designers label that was established in 1927 by Mr. and Mrs. Furlanetto in Bologna. Today it is a very popular brand that has many beautiful bags in its collection, like...
A party without good food is just a meeting..! Especially on a wedding, it is very important that there is a lot of delicious food, and even more that it is decorated in a very nice - wedding proof - way. It all starts with the decoration of the table. Again you can choose from many different styles and themes, colours and lightning as well as flowers and 'trees' as...
This blog shows you my favourite bags of Milan fashion week that were presented by the fashion designers for Fall Winter 2016-2017 so far. Milan is home to many designers that I love, like Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Fendi, Marni, Salvatore Ferragamo, Tod's and Emporio Armani. And again they make my heart beat. Whether it is with great boxes that can only be carried by strong sleeping beauties, striking pink shoulder...
I'm getting into the bridal mood! Only two weeks from now, 14 days or 344 hours. And no, I'm not obsessed nor stressed. I'm just extremely excited and ready for our big day! Besides the fact that I feel as a true bride-to-be, it occurred to me that I start wearing more and more white shirts and dresses, unconsciously and unintentional. I don't know, my eyes seem to...
A horse-n-carriage getaway, a characteristic old-timer, two bikes, a retro style Volkswagen or by boat. Delightfully old-fashioned or fabulously vintage, beautiful classic and exaggerated or modest and relaxed. Do you want a driver or do you want your groom to drive the car? To make your vehicle even more special, some couples decorate it with balloons, flowers, calligraphic signs, handmade banners, garlands or cans. No matter how you decide to do it, you absolutely...
