TUESDAY TIPS: STARTING A BLOG
New series alert! I’ve been blogging for 1,5 years which means I know a thing or two on the subject by now. I get a lot of questions from girls who want to start a (successful) blog and wonder what I did to get to where I am now. That’s why it only made sense […]
BLACK LACE
It wasn’t very long ago that I wore a black lace dress and now I’m already back with another one! You might wonder why; did I run out of inspiration? Or did I decide I’m done with colour? Wrong and wrong. It’s because I think you can’t have enough dresses like this one. If you ever […]
I LOVE PINK
I love pink. Pastel pink, hot pink, soft pink, dark pink, any kind of pink goes. So you can imagine my heart skipping a beat when I saw this coat a couple of months back at the Boohoo Autumn 2014 press preview. I immediately asked them when it would be online: around September. This meant I […]
NEW YORK TIPS
So you probably noticed I went to New York for the first time and absolutely loved it. I shared a lot of fun events and pictures and now I even envy myself 😉 There’s just something about this noisy city – where everyone’s super duper friendly might I add. Just in case you’re also planning […]
HELLO AMSTERDAM
Hello Amsterdam, I’m back! Back to shooting in the city that is. Quite a change from New York, huh? I’m a little homesick, if that’s even possible. But I don’t mind shooting here, I love Amsterdam backdrops. Another thing I really love is this dress. Being a big fan of grid prints, it was right up my alley. […]
THE NEW YORK DIARIES: GOODBYE
Wow. I just can’t believe how incredibly privileged I’ve been to have spent a long week in the best city in the world. There’s so many things I did and in retrospect this has got to be the best holiday of my life. Clearly I want to go back as soon as possible. In today’s […]
THE NEW YORK DIARIES: THE HIGHLINE
I read about The Highline when preparing for this trip and looking for fun & free things to do. I didn’t know what to expect, but knew it had to be cool, because hey, it’s New York! The Highline is a walking route on an old train track and is located above ground level, which […]
THE NEW YORK DIARIES: POSTCARD VIEWS
New York is a great city at night, but if you like taking nice pictures daylight is kind of mandatory. So I was a little bummed that we went up the Empire State at night and did a boat tour at night. Both were wonderful experiences, but didn’t leave me any great pictures. Obviously I […]
THE NEW YORK DIARIES: BROOKLYN BRIDGE
One of the many highlights of my New York trip was the Brooklyn Bridge. I was immediately impressed by its brilliant architecture and knew I had to take some pictures there. Of course I wasn’t the only one, so that was definitely a challenge to not have 10 million tourists with selfie sticks in the background. […]
THE NEW YORK DIARIES: VISITING ETSY
Just before I left for New York I got in touch with Etsy, the online marketplace for selling and buying handmade and vintage items. You probably know it, maybe you even bought a cool thing or two there already. When I mentioned I was visiting New York I got invited to their Brooklyn office. […]
THE NEW YORK DIARIES: LITTLE BLACK DRESS
When I’m on a city break I love to wear dresses. It’s an easy way to look chic and be comfortable at the same time. The thing is that when you’re up early it can be too chilly for bare legs. In that case I actually layer up by adding a maxi skirt on top! […]
THE NEW YORK DIARIES: PART 2
Honey I’m home! I landed early this morning which might mean that I’m currently jet lagged as I’m typing this in the middle of the night. I’m still processing what an amazing experience this trip to New York has been. I’ve done a bazillion things so if it weren’t for these pictures I probably forgot […]
THE NEW YORK DIARIES: CONEY ISLAND
Small confession: I’m no daredevil when it comes to rollercoasters. That didn’t stop me from checking out Coney Island and Lunar Park though. I tried out the obligatory rollercoaster, remembered why I never do those things and quickly dived into taking pictures. As a designer I love anything visually pleasing and this park is a feast […]
THE NEW YORK DIARIES: NEW YORK FASHION WEEK & STREETSTYLE
On September 11th I had the most amazing opportunity to be present at New York Fashion Week. I got invited to the fashion show of Romanian designer Dorin Negrau. His collection was inspired by vampires and Dracula, which was totally clear when seeing vintage style lace, cob web like fabrics and blood stained lips. The […]
THE NEW YORK DIARIES: NEW YORK FASHION WEEK OUTFIT
Time goes by so fast over here! 2 days ago I went to New York Fashion Week, which was awesome. I had a couple of outfit options and decided to go for this one, as it was pretty hot out. I wanted to look chic and be comfy at the same time. After all I’m […]
THE NEW YORK DIARIES: PART 1
Oh yeah, I made it! I’m in New York freakin City! It’s supercool to be here and so far I’m taking in every moment. This city is so beautiful and incredibly cool and I feel unbelievably lucky to even be here. I had a very smooth trip and the hotel is lovely too. On day […]
PACKING FOR NEW YORK CITY
While you’re reading this I’m on a plane to New York City (!!!!). It’s been a while since I’ve been on a long flight like this one, so I’ll make sure to bring enough reading material. I packed my suitcase yesterday and had to do most of my outfit planning in advance. When you’re on […]
PRE NEW YORK
I’m beyond excited; tomorrow I’m flying to New York. I’ve been super busy last week as I had loads of events to attend and spent Friday and Saturday in Eindhoven. I really enjoyed the Pullman Hotel I stayed at and actually managed to relax at the spa and swimming pool for a couple of hours. […]
FALL FASHION
You probably guessed that I was looking forward to fall already from my very early fall wishlist. I figured it wouldn’t make sense to wear fall fashion in summer, but after a couple of rainy days I couldn’t contain myself any longer. I was looking for something tartan and a pair of chunky boots and found both […]
COME SHOP MY CLOSET!
Love my style? I have some good news for you: this Saturday I’m selling a whole lot of it a.k.a. clothes at the It’s Weekend Fashion x Cult One Day Blog Shop in Eindhoven. Think colours, cute dresses and florals. I’m inviting you to come shop my closet! It might seem far (unless you live close […]
STYLE ESSENTIALS PART 2
Today’s post is another one in the AW14 Style Essentials series in collaboration with Dorothy Perkins. The Style Essential I’m wearing today is this greyish blue satchel. I love how different the colour is and think it would work really well with pastels too. This satchel is perfect for everyday use or workwear. I thought it […]
11 THINGS I’M GOING TO DO IN NEW YORK
It’s September, which means there’s a new background on the blog. This time I went for a very special theme: New York City! The countdown has begun and it’s only 1 more week (!!) until I visit the Big Apple. This has always been a big dream of mine and thanks to this very blog […]
STYLE ESSENTIALS PART 1
For today’s post I’ve collaborated with stylish UK brand Dorothy Perkins to show you how I style two of their AW14 Style Essentials. I thought it was pretty cool that a well-known and fashion forward brand like this wanted to collaborate with me! They stock loads of fabulous, feminine and chic fashion for friendly prices. The Style Essential […]
like a princess
I remember a classmate of mine in art school asking me whether it was my birthday that day, as I was wearing a pretty dress. Another day a colleague asked me if I was attending a wedding later that day, since I was looking so chic. Those questions stuck with me as I thought it was […]
HOTSPOT: THE LEOPARD LOUNGE (+ GIVEAWAY)
I’ve never set foot into a nail parlor in my life, but when I heard about The Leopard Lounge I knew I had to go there. I’ve collaborated with its founders before and know what they’re capable off (good stuff!) so I hopped on a train to Rotterdam, with high expectations and 10 neglected finger nails. Yup, […]
watermelons and polkadots
If you’ve been following my Instagram takeover a while ago you may have seen a little sneak peak of this look. This look isn’t really applicable for todays weather, but if you have a holiday coming up I really recommend wearing something like this! A jersey jumpsuit is super comfy and makes you look very […]
little green dress
No little green bag or little black dress, but a little green dress and a little black bag have made it into today’s outfit post. I love wearing cute dresses like this one, but it’s not really warm enough anymore, so it was time to dust off my leather jacket. An outfit like this one […]
#GIRLBOSS BOOK REVIEW
/ / After briefly flirting with reading again, I finally pushed through my intentions and read a book. I went with #GIRLBOSS as I was really curious to find out what all the fuss was about. I’ve been seeing this book pop up all over Instagram (mine included) and some girls are already treating it […]
sex and the city
Like most of the girls of my generation I still can’t get enough of Sex and The City. And if SATC has tought me one thing, is that it’s important to have fun with fashion. From Carrie falling in love with Big for the fifth time to Miranda and her lesbian phase; I think I saw every episode […]
confessions
I have a few confessions to make, but you probably guessed it when you saw this post. These pictures you’re looking at weren’t taken today. In fact they weren’t even taken this week. They are from last week, when it was about 10 degrees warmer. Nope, I wouldn’t suggest you wear this outfit in today’s weather. […]
fall wishlist
It’s safe to say that fall weather isn’t my favourite, but I am definitely looking forward to fall fashion. Summer sale is kind of over and the first fall collections have made their way onto the High Street. Once the days get darker my clothes tend to darken with them, but this fall I plan on wearing more […]
ode to magazines
A little over a week ago I did this shoot at a book market and I told you I didn’t read books nearly enough. Today’s location is a book store known for it’s wide range of magazines. I’m pretty confident to say I know a lot about magazines. I’ve worked as a graphic designer for […]
lucky clovers
Last Friday – on what feels like the last day of summer right now – I had a lovely lunch with my family as a late birthday celebration. I don’t see my family as often as I should, so it was lovely seeing them all again. They gave me a big suitcase, which is perfect for […]
