After living in Amsterdam for 5 years, I found myself being a tourist in this city after all. Because these days I call San Francisco home so that means that when we visited Amsterdam for Christmas, we had to find ourselves a place to stay. We are the kind of couple who love the charm of fun boutique hotels and bed and breakfasts as we find it a personal,...
When it is cold, dark and dreary outside, it is easy to fall into a winter-depression. And even though I always try to ignore the fact that I'm less active and merry in winter, I can understand that others simply can't. Last week I published the article with 5 reasons why to love winter. And in addition to that article, I share this look which will let any girl love...
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...
There are a few typical Dutch things I miss now that I live the expat life in San Francisco. So when we were back in Amsterdam for Christmas I made sure I feed those cravings. Like eating 'bitterballen' (kind of fried meatballs) and 'ontbijtkoek' (kind of honey cake) as well as visiting my favourite places. Like the Museum of Bags and Pursus (Tassenmuseum Hendrikje). As I am a big baglover,...

Ohhhhh, how much I love the spring feeling. Not only because it's getting warmer and the days are getting brighter, but also because I can pull my favourite bright coloured items out of my closet again. Like the blue heeled boots that are definitely belonging to my top 3 of shoes. The dress is by Filippa K and I love to wear it as the whites always make you look...
Last weekend proved the fact that Spring is here! The sun was out and even though it was still was a little bit cold, my sister and I decided to meet at one of our favourite terraces in Amsterdam to enjoy an extensive brunch (tip: Bar Restaurant 1900). It was the first time that I put on this colourful Spring outfit. Of course I played it safe with...
