Hurray!! Happy birthday to Bag at you! As I like birthdays and love surprises, I thought it was a good idea to combine these two on this special day. 10 July 2014 this blog was launched and since then many bags and lot's of posts have came by. But nothing like this. If you haven't seen me on Snapchat, you must be completely surprised by this look. Because normally...
As I am such a huge fan of Snapchat (read here why), I created short movies of the nights & shows that I attended at Mercedes-Benz FashionWeek Amsterdam. Sorry for the lack of sharpness & quality, but I hope it gives you a very good first impression of the amazing collections shown on the catwalk. Stay tuned on this blog (and Snapchat) as more of these kind of...
So you can probably tell from the pictures where these shots were taken. Indeed, Tuscany, Italy, one of the most beautiful places in the world with many tiny romantic villages! A few weeks ago I flew in to spend a couple of beautiful sunny days. As I only went for four days, I decided to only bring along a trolley. A new one as my former suitcase literally had...
The time is right! You might already started or are about to take the next step: Snapchat, a social network that might be worth your time. Harper's Bazaar called this "the fashion's favorite new app", so you cannot stay behind. I won't argue that I completely master this app, but I do like to help out my fellow bloggers who tell me that they don't understand the concept nor the...
July is here and we definitely physically feel that it is summer! It is crazily hot for Dutch standards and we can officially call this thing a heatwave. So last night, tonight, tomorrow night and so on I will be spending my free nights outdoors, preferably in the park. Yes, whether it will be take out from SLA, a bbq or simple drinks and snacks, I will go out for a picnick....
When I studied in London five years ago I had a special Saturday ritual. I loved waking up late as I worked in the local pub on Friday night, going to Portobello Road, visiting TopShop on Oxford Circus whereafter I would dress up for the big party night out. I don't know about you, but when I go abroad, it is easy to be infatuated by a local fashion brand....
In about eight days the Mercedes-Benz FashionWeek Amsterdam starts for the 23rd time. For ten fashion packed days long, we can enjoy the renewed program divided into the Catwalk, Fashion Lab and Downtown presented by Zalando. Fashion Week will kick off with the 'Fashion is WOW'-party in De Marktkantine on 3 July (buy your tickets here). In the FashionWeek Amsterdam blog post I explained all about the origin of this fashion event and the first official...
Grab your bag and go to Pick & Spend (Amsterdam)! Last Sunday I was totally prepared to enjoy a good day of pre-summer… However, unfortunately we were cheated out of that 22-degree-sunny-Sunday! I therefore thought it was a good idea to soften the pain and to cheer myself up with a short visit to De 9 Straatjes. As I parked my bike on the corner of the Keizersgracht and...
Today I show you a piece of Wayuu art, the perfect example of what I call "pure eye candy". I am talking about the Wayuu mochilla bag that is hanging around my shoulders. This bag has been knitted by the Wayuu Indian Tribe in Colombia that is celebrated for its colorful and cultural bags and have been producing these accessories for many generations. The Wayuu people are known as the people of the...
