MORE FLAIR
Yes, yes. I know in this case I should be talking about ‘flare’, not ‘flair’. I know I’m right about that, because I just took an English test on Facebook which told me I got 13/15 right. I’m an English genius. Or so did the test say 😉 Anywho, I named this post more flair because I […]
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS
Hello Christmas pressies! Usually le bf and I get each other xmas presents, but this year we decided to just go to a fancy restaurant instead (am I the only one who can’t wait to get started on new year’s resolutions a.k.a. less eating, more sports yet?). Which obviously means I have to get myself […]
FESTIVE GREEN
I don’t know what it is, but lately I’ve been drawn to the colour green. Maybe it’s all the christmas trees everywhere that are subconsciously influencing me. I don’t think so though, I’ve always loved green. I don’t think it’s ever been a trend colour really, it’s not a colour you come across in every […]
ASK ME ANYTHING
Maybe you’ve been a long time follower of this blog, or maybe this is the first time you’ve ended up here. There’s quiet a few things you’ll find in the archives of this blog, if you ever feel like browsing. But I can definitely imagine there’s loads of questions left unanswered. Questions about my style, […]
JUST KIDDING
First things first, how awesome it I found at ?! It really was love at first sight when I first saw it and I’m super duper happy I ordered it. Everyone tends to go for darker colours in the winter season, so I’m really hoping to put a smile on people’s faces whenever I walk by. […]
NEW JOB
Today I’m going to let you in on a little secret. This blog is just a display of my love for fashion, style & design, nothing more, nothing less. It’s never been my idea to make a living this way, so of course I’m super happy that I now partially do. But there’s loads of […]
WIND PROOF
Whenever I find a new style crush, I just can’t stop buying it. First overknee boots, now ponchos. My newest addition? I really love the silhouette these warm cape-like scarfs create. They make your legs look extra skinny and obviously you can’t have enough winter warmers these days. And while I’m fairly new to the […]

MEET VILA
As you may know I’m a -proud- Brand Ambassador for Scandinavian brand VILA. This means I get to wear loads of beautiful items from the versatile brand. It also means I’m in touch with the people behind the brand on a weekly basis. It’s always fun to meet people you only know from the online […]
5 ways to wear tartan
Tartan, checks, plaid… However you want to call it, this print has definitely replaced stripes as most popular print in my wardrobe. A bit of rock ‘n roll and a bit of class in one print, what’s not to love? In today’s post I’m showing you how versatile this print is. My first real suit just […]
WINTER PARTY DRESS
I work with a couple of different sponsors for this blog and one of them is ChiChi. They sell the most wonderful party dresses and whenever I see their newest collection I always want everything. This sometimes makes me a little blind for the current weather. So when I received this dress I had two thoughs. […]
TUESDAY TIPS: GETTING TRAFFIC TO YOUR BLOG
Word of mouth In the famous words of Kanye himself: Tell everybody that you know… Ok, so I’m not telling you to always take advice from Yeezy, but this time he’s definitely right. You should tell everybody you know about your blog. Keep it appropriate, you don’t want to be a real life billboard, but whenever a […]
NEW YORKER XMAS €100 GIVEAWAY
Finding the perfect Xmas outfit is always a challenge. I don’t always dress up, sometimes I prefer an ugly Christmas sweater over a fancy dress. This year I wanted to glam it up a little and lucky me: I was offered to shop my Xmas outfit at New Yorker. There was so much to choose from […]
DECEMBER WALLPAPER: WHITE XMAS
Hello December! Yes, I know, December is old news. But as I’ve been subtly saying I’ve been quite the busy bee lately, so this wallpaper had to wait a couple of days. I think December is the best winter month, thanks to the holidays of course. Giving & receiving presents, pretty city lighs & decorations, […]
LAYER UP
Guys, what happened?! All of the sudden it’s super cold and that does not make this sun loving girl happy! But I don’t like being negative, so I found a reason to love the cold. It’s cool that this weather forces me to layer up. Because oh man, do I love layering. My boyfriend never understands […]
HOTEL TESTING
One of the many upsides of being a blogger is getting invitations to loads of fun events. Last weekend I was invited to be one of the first people to stay – stay meaning lunch, dinner, sleeping and breakfast – at the new Van Der Valk Hotel in Veenendaal. How could I resist? Van Der Valk […]
HELLO DECEMBER!
Wow! Time does fly when you’re having fun. Can’t believe it’s already December! 2014 is going by in a heartbeat. This year has been pretty crazy, so much has happened and so many things are still about to happen this month. New things and fun things. Can’t wait! Today’s outfit includes another addition to my coat […]
YOLO IN BOLO
Now these pictures right here show blogger problem #1 these days: daylight. Or the lack of it. Obviously I have mad Photoshop skillzzzz so I could make something of this 😉 The sun is setting around 4 already, so I really have to plan out all of my outfits. But as I explained in one […]
FASHION FRIENDS
Today’s post is a very special one as I’m not the only face that’s on the pictures. I’m also showing you the face that’s behind my camera a lot of times! It’s my dear friend Carmen of My Daily Fashion Dosis. We became friends after meeting at a blogger event and as it turns out we live […]
TEX MEX
Whoopsie! I went off the radar a little for the past few days. I usually try to plan my blog posts ahead, but sometimes life catches up with me. I had a weekend filled with celebrations, which makes this happy-go-lucky girl even happier. I did find a moment to photograph this outfit and I can’t tell […]
SO FLUFFY
You can’t have enough winter coats sounds a bit like my new motto. I’m rapidly expanding my collection and this is definitely a new favourite. I picked this as a part of my ASOS collab and it’s always hard to choose when there’s so many cool things to choose from! I love because of their […]
POIGNANT PARISIAN
My obsession with Parisian style continues, but this time it actually makes sense. Sadly I’m still not going to Paris – although teeny weeny plans to go next year have been made. Nope, this time I’m literally talking about Parisian style. The coat I’m wearing is from a special collection: Valentine Gauthier pour VILA. The French […]
TUESDAY TIPS: MONETIZING YOUR BLOG
Blogging takes time. Time you can’t spend on other things you love, let alone a job. So if you’d like to keep on blogging and also need to pay your bills, it’s nice to know that are plenty of methods to make some money from your blog. Here are a few ways that have worked for […]
I WANNA BE A HIPPIE
Told you I was into 70s fashion! Those flare pants are definitely a first, something I said I would never wear. But in the words of well-known philosopher Justin Bieber: ‘Never say never’. I really love the retro vibe and the fact that they’re knitted and feel like jogging pants have immediately made them my […]
PINSPIRATION: 60s & 70s style icons
If I would have a time machine end 60s/early 70s is what I would set it to. I spend quite some time on Pinterest looking for inspiration and mostly pin streetstyle pictures. This weekend I found myself pinning pictures that are a little different. No Kate Moss or Mira Duma, but Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot, […]
HOLD YOUR HORSES
One of my most frequently asked questions is ‘Who takes your pictures?’. Well, usually I do this with one of my blogger babes, because we all need outfit pictures and know what’s expected. For some people the whole process is a bit boring and they will go like ‘What? Another picture? Isn’t this enough?’. I […]
THURSDAY TUNES
What up world! It’s been a while since I shared some songs with you, but I’ve been playing this playlist on repeat and I’m always happy to introduce people to good tunes. One of my fave things to do when I have the time is listen to BBC Radio 1. They’re always so incredibly on […]
WINTER SUIT
I love a good suit and have been looking for one for ages. Because even if a suit will always be a classic, a great suit is pretty rare to come by. That’s why I knew I wanted to have this beauty the minute I saw it. Tartan prints are just one of my many weaknesses, so […]
TUESDAY TIPS: GAINING POPULARITY ON INSTAGRAM
This weekend something special happened on my Instagram: I reached 20K followers! Ever since I’ve been gaining popularity I have received a lot of questions on how I did it. So here are some things that worked for me. Be active When you want to grow your audience, it’s really important to be active. Instagram is […]
NO COAT
Look mommy, no coat! Don’t worry, I didn’t risk pneumonia here, these pics were taken on a warm and sunny day. The perfect moment to shoot the little black dress I’m wearing here. I really love the subtle sexiness of the cut-out shoulders. I don’t normally go for sexy designs, but think this is a very […]
A DASH OF FASH X MYCLIQUE: $100 ASOS GIVEAWAY!
I’m an avid online shopper and love how easy it is to click things home. Sometimes I’m in doubt of whether I should buy something or not. I then take a not so nice picture of my screen and send it to a friend. Not very fun and the picture doesn’t do the garment or […]
5 WAYS TO WEAR RED
It’s no secret I love colour. But when I look at my recent purchases I think my pink phase is over and I have now entered a state of loving red. I was about to count how many red items I have and then stopped, because I started realizing how many there actually are in […]
KEEP IT CASUAL
Hey guys, it’s me again, the girl that loves to talk about the weather 😉 Kidding, actually I think talking about the weather is a bit dull, like you have nothing else to talk about. But I just can’t deny the impact the weather has on the way I’m dressing. Last weekend was super sunny, […]
