Last week we had the pleasure to enjoy the Old Masters Afternoon tea in the Conservatorium hotel in Amsterdam. In our beautiful Self Portrait dresses, we were welcomed in the Brasserie of this stunning hotel. After the sandwiches and apple raisin-scones with homemade clotted cream and jam, we were served a salmon terrine that not only tasted very good, but was also very Instagram-worthy. The little soup was also...
This article represents one of my favourite projects so far in my short blogger career. If you follow me on Snapchat, you have probably seen me last Friday dancing around in beautiful dresses in a truly exceptional place. Together with Marlieke - better known as the beautiful and stylish Mrs. CottonandCream - we were expected at the Conservatorium hotel and welcomed by Naya, the stylist, make-up artist and the photographer of...
I'm on a champagne diet! Normally I am not the type of girl that wears big sweaters with huge quotes. But now that I found this very appropriate one, I thought I'd give it a go. Because I am seriously drinking a lot of bubbles lately. I just have a lot to celebrate and to be thankful for. And the way you can appreciate that best is to...
Winter has officially started! It is cold, it is grey, it is windy, it is rainy and some snow even. However, to escape from this weather and to forget about my warm boots and woolen knits for a second, I was caught daydreaming about summer dresses, big flappy hats and the new bag trends that I saw in the new Spring/Summer 2016 collections that were shown in the fashion capitals...
Her smile is as bright and sincere as the smile of Julia Roberts. She was passionate and full of dreams when she launched her blog in 2012 to share her thoughts on everything that excites her. Today many brands have put her blog on top of the list to collaborate and her readership is growing each and every day. I'm talking about Britta Maxime, the fashion and lifestyle blog by the...
Grab your bag and go to De Plantage in Amsterdam! When my boyfriend suggested to go and celebrate his birthday at De Plantage, I was not super excited. And I remember that when I entered the restaurant, I was overwhelmed by the size of this place which was emphasised by the high ceilings. But then the waitress showed us our romantic table for two and explained the menu in...
Well hello you! As from the first moment I set eyes on this bag, I knew I had to kiss it! And to turn this special moment into a success, I put on my favorite green dress which also has been adorned with golden buttons and black furry boots. I would wear this outfit every day if I could, especially now that I can carry this smart shoulder bag...
Keeping up with the purse terminology can become difficult and I'm therefore happy to announce that the big bag dictionary is ready for use. Baguette, clutch or tote, how do you know which bag it is? Hopefully this dictionary can help you to recognise all the models and styles in the world of bags. *** Backpack A bag carried on one's back and secured with two shoulder straps. Originally used by hikers and students but...
Wow, this outfit made me feel classy and fashionable at once. Like an intentional woman I walked out the door and as I felt the rays of sun touch my face, I knew it was going to be a good day. With only a few cards, my phone and lipstick in my bag, I started walking and I was accidentally caught dancing. I don't remember exactly why I did that....
I am just thrilled to publish this interview with a very dear and special friend! When we met in Leiden 10 years ago, I was immediately impressed by Charlotte. I thought of her as a hotshot, not only because she was very beautiful and stylish, but also because I saw her as a very ambitious person who knew exactly what she wanted, and - even more admirable - how to...
