A New York minute
Ever heard of the expression “a New York minute”? According to Urban Dictionary it’s a reference to the frenzied and hectic pace of New Yorkers’ lives. A New Yorker does in an instant what anyone else would take a minute to do. And I don’t blame New Yorkers for that. There’s so many cool things you can […]
Ghost city
How often is it that you catch Times Square empty? If you’ve been to New York you know that it’s one of the busiest, most tourist places in the city. The place is hard to cross without bumping into hundreds of people, including the one and only naked cowboy and Superman. On our last day […]
Shopping list – wardrobe essentials
This outfit is everything. Ok, apart from the fact that it might be a bit too cold to wear this right now, this outfit literally is everything. Aren’t we all looking forward to spring after seeing the first rays of sunshine? All of these items need to get into my – and your! – wardrobe asap. […]
Radio City Music Hall
Looking at these pictures is giving me mixed feelings. Happiness because I’ve been to the best city in the world again. Sadness because it’s over. And lastly major headaches, because I have the jetlag from hell while typing this 😉 I shouldn’t be complaining though, it’s always so good & magical to be in […]
Shopping list – Stars & stripes
I love a good, fun casual outfit & casual is what Americans do best. And since I’m currently walking the streets of NYC (OMG AM I REALLY!?) I thought I’d do a little shopping list inspired by my friends from the USA. A good casual outfit always a comfy pair of jeans and a nice […]
Last pieces of winter
It’s been too long since we had sunny days, so I was happy to catch a few rays of sunshine in Groningen. For those of you who follow me on Snapchat or Instagram (@adashoffash) already know what I was up to: visiting an exhibition on David Bowie. This guy has been such an inspiration, I […]
Why wear 1 scarf when you can wear 2?
After spotting the scarf trend about 1 year ago, I’m still not fed up with it. Trends usually come and go, but nope, not this one. Scarfs are here to stay. At first I started out with bandana-like scarfs, which I got bored of. Then I moved into silk scarf territories. A bit less badass, […]

Be a flamingo in a flock of pigeons
Nothing like a little bit of pink to cheer you up right? I bought this pink faux fur coat last year at and still love wearing it. It’s definitely a head turner and I can’t help but feeling like a pink Big Bird – or flamingo – whenever I put it on. Shop the look […]
A good morning with Healthy People
Good morning! 😉 There’s nothing like a good breakfast to start the day, right? Mine usually consists of oatmeal and coffee, which I always make with a milk substitute. There’s a couple of reasons I do this. I don’t really like the flavour of milk, I think there are a lot of healthier options and […]
Milan Fashion Week Outfit numero tre
In my third Milan Fashion Week outfit I’m wearing all kinds of items I love. I’m obsessed with the velvet Zoe Karssen jacket and I love my starry Sandro scarf, which I can’t keep on wearing. But the one thing that drew the most attention when wearing this look were my pants. The funny things is that […]
Wednesday Wishlist
Oh, how I love fashion. I love the endless combinations you can make with a couple of cool items. I love how brands I love keep on making awesome things. I mean, the Proenza Schouler bag anyone? Black has always been on my wishlist, but I can totally do with the blue one as well. […]
Milan Fashion Week outfit numero due
Slowly but steady denim is making it’s return into my wardrobe. I used to be such a skirts & heels girl, but if you look at my recent looks, I’m always wearing jeans! And it went so far that I ended up wearing jeans in my fashion week look. Something I wouldn’t be sure of doing […]

Shop my closet this Sunday at Fashion-Vintage Live
It’s that time again: you’re getting a chance to shop my closet live! Everyone always asks me if I have an infinite wardrobe. Well, the answer is: I don’t. That’s why I need to get rid of some stuff every once in a while. This means you’re getting the chance to shop some awesome, exclusive […]
Denim + stripes + leather = the perfect outfit
One thing I learned through personal style blogging, is that fashion can be really easy and still look good. I used to always look for eye-catching items and I was aiming to stand out from the crowd with anything I wore. Over the years this has changed a bit. I’ve started to appreciate good basics more […]
This summer’s interior trends at ShowUP
About a week ago I visited ShowUP, a tradeshow for interior & lifestyle brands. I went there with Kitsch Kitchen, an interior brand I work at 3 days a week. They display their new collection there for retailers & press and I designed a couple of things for them (prints for products, but also the catalogue for […]
Saturday shopping list
Nothing beats a little bit of Saturday shopping. Grab yourself a cup of tea, keep on those pj’s and click through all of your fave shopping destinations. It’s been a while since my last shopping session, the whole sale season was kind of overwhelming. But boy, oh boy, did I manage to find some gems […]
Underwear becomes outerwear with Hunkemöller
In today’s post I’m trying out a trend that is a little new to me: “Underwear becomes outerwear”. My style can be defined as sweet rather than sexy and I don’t think you’d ever catch me sporting anything with cleavage. Until I became aware of this new “Underwear becomes outerwear” trend. I decided to take on […]
Obsessed with J.Crew’s pink faux fur coat
Nope, I did not suddenly teleport myself to New York Fashion Week. I wish I could, but I’m not too sad I’m not there with the -15 degree weather and all. I mean, all I’m seeing is my fave bloggers complaining on Snapchat about freezing their butts off. That does not seem very fun to […]
A day in my life with Cluse
7:30 My alarm goes off and after snoozing a few times I get out of bed. I make myself oatmeal & fresh coffee. I like to take it easy in the mornings – I’m not really a morning person 😉 I scroll through Pinterest to start the day with some fresh inspiration. Then I hop in the […]
Meet my new office at Hashtag Workmode
Today I’m giving you a peak into my new office over at Hashtag Workmode (or #Workmode). This is a workspace I share with a bunch of online creative girlbosses. The idea and execution are the brainchild of Emilie Sobels, co-founder of Fashiolista, a company I used to work at. Emilie is a real go-getter, who knows how to […]
Taking off my make-up for Cosmopolitan
Make-up is a big part of my everyday look. You can recognize me by my eyeliner, blush and lipstick. I usually don’t go out of the door without make-up, but today I’m making an exception. I created this video together with Cosmopolitan and fellow bloggers Nathalie and Carmen, to show you you don’t need make-up to be […]
4 things I’m excited about right now
A new office space One of my goals this year is to make my blog into a professional business. This means taking a few steps into that direction myself. I figured starting with my own office space would be a perfect first step. If you follow me on Snapchat (@adashoffash) you may have seen the […]
Staying at Citizen M Rotterdam
This weekend I had the pleasure of staying in Citizen M Rotterdam: a very new hotel, located opposite Rotterdam Blaak station. The boyfriend and I visited the International Film Festival Rotterdam, which has kind of become a yearly tradition for us. We usually only go one day, but this time we thought it would be nice to […]
New in: Marc Jacobs creepers
Sometimes things are just meant to be. I stumbled upon these Marc Jacobs creepers in Rotterdam. I was visiting the International Film Festival over there (more on that later) and already had a pretty good time. We had some hours left in between watching movies & decided to drop by . I was curious to see whether […]
How to make a casual look fun
We all know the feeling. You’ve got a busy week ahead and you don’t really feel like putting much effort into the way you look. Besides, you’ve just received your phone bill and you went over your data limit again. So there’s probably no way you’re getting anything new this month. A comfy & casual look will […]
Sundays are for Pink & Pinterest
All images via Pinterest Oh Pinterest, one of my favourite addictions. I love spending my Sundays on the platform, looking for new inspiration. And now that I have a better data plan I spend loads of my train rides pinning too. I’m currently attracted to anything pink – what else is new? I’m also really […]
Cutting my hair: yay or nay?
I’ve been thinking about cutting my hair for a while and would love to hear your opinion! I think a shorter haircut would be really refreshing. Plus it will go really well with my sixties / seventies inspired looks. Me & my shorter do Two years ago I actually had shorter hair and couldn’t wait to grow […]
I need a time machine to take me to the Seventies
I’d like to think I know a lot of people, but I still haven’t met anyone with a time machine. Someone please call Marty McFly: I’d love to take a trip to the seventies! I’d probably just raid the closets of a couple of super hip ladies, to steal all of their faux fur coats, flare pants […]
The girl in the oversized striped coat
For a second there I thought that Spring was coming, but unfortunately it’s back to grey and rainy days. It’s days like these that make me want to wear anything that’s simple & comfy. The comfier the better! That’s why I was super happy to find this oversized striped coat. It’s from Selected Femme and I spotted […]
Amsterdam chic
Long before I started A Dash Of Fash I lived in Barcelona for a while. I gladly took the opportunity to live abroad for 6 months during my studies at Willem de Kooning Art Academy. I didn’t have to think long about my destination. It just had to be Barcelona, my favourite city at that time. I love the […]
