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...

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...
Last weekend we visited the trendy Phoenix hotel in San Francisco to have brunch at their restaurant Chambers. I was wearing this amazing pink overcoat, a green suede dress, my new SUTRO boots and this fabulous python bag. A perfect look for Fall in California. Because to be honest, Fall isn't that bad actually on the West-coast of the USA. The weather is mostly nice and easy, with...
