Pass me the mustard
Remember when I told you about the Ready To Fish stock sale? Well, truth is, I got a little something too! I got this beautiful oversized mustard sweater dress, which I’m still obsessing over. I love that this season’s fashion is focused on a lot of surprising colours, like mustard, orange, rust and army green. As […]
5 x “Oh crap!”
So here’s a confession: there is a very big chance I’m not the most organized person you’ll ever meet. If I were to have a catch phrase, something like “Oops” or “Oh crap!” would probably be it. So when I spotted I knew it was just my cup of tea. No need to shout “Oh crap!” […]
How to wear your summer dress in autumn (or winter!)
If you’re a bit like me – and let’s just assume you are and that’s why you visit this blog – you probably has tons of summer dresses. And now you’re a bit bummed out that you live in a country where summer only lasts a couple of weeks. And you have to put those […]
Shop my closet online!
Psssttt… I’m letting you in on a little secret! Like I mentioned in this post I finally have a new wardrobe for the home, which means I went through all of my clothes to sort out which items stay and which items go. And a lot of things are going! I usually only sell my things at flea […]
Return of the dungarees
Welcome back in my wardrobe, dungarees! I know it’s been a while since we last talked, 1 year to be precise. I’m not entirely sure why. Was it because last time we saw each other I told you you weren’t age appropriate anymore? You can be honest with me, if you think I was being a little snobby there […]
Sneak peek: grey hair
I did it! I changed my hair! Allright, it’s not a completely different look, but still big enough for me. My hair is a big part of my look and I intend to keep it that way. Dark, straight and a fringe has become my signature hairstyle over the years. And ever since I kinda […]
The perfect Little Black Dress
You can’t be overdressed or underdressed in a little black dress Or so my hero Karl Lagerfeld tells me. So why is it that I didn’t own a LBD yet? Something so simple yet so stylish is a must-have in any girls wardrobe. But not mine. For some reason I always thought little black dresses […]
The best of autumn fashion in 2015
Transitioning from summer to autumn is an exciting time for fashion lovers pretty much every year, and 2015 is no exception. Actually, the range of trends making their way into popular collections this year feels greater than I’ve ever seen, which means your autumn and winter wardrobe update could be even more fun than usual! […]
5 tourist things to do in London
Oh London, pretty London. What’s not to love about the city? I don’t even remember how many times I’ve visited the British capital. Whenever I am in London I always try visiting something new. On the one hand I avoid tourist places, but on the other hand I like seeing at least one attraction or […]
Hotel tip: Qbic London
A city break to London can be fun but very tiring at the same time. That’s why the hotel you stay in will be just as important as the places you pick to visit. During my stay this time I decided to stay in Qbic hotel for 3 days, as I heard so many great things […]
Short skirt, long jacket
Whenever I write an outfit post I always look for the story behind the pictures. When editing today’s pictures it got to me that I’m wearing a short skirt and a long jacket, just like the famous song by Creed! If you don’t know it, that’s okay, it’s from 2001 and definitely not the best song ever. […]

Oversized shirt, skinny jeans: the perfect casual outfit
When describing my style casual is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. I usually choose for a look that reflects my personality and I love standing out from the crowd. Yet there are days when I rather blend in. You know, the type of days when you realize you have been too busy lately […]
Punctuality tips from a girl who is always late
I’ve always been surrounded by people who are late, so I never thought of being in time as being a trait. In fact, people who are early always seemed a bit stuck up to me. But now that I’m not exactly in my teens anymore – getting closer to 30 by the day, yikes – […]
Big news at the Big Ben
Bringing big news in a post that features the Big Ben felt kind of appropriate, big things in big places and all. I knew about this news for a while, but had to keep it a secret until it was all official. But now that the cat’s out of the bag and the press release […]
Fabulous shoes for fashion week
No more complaining about the weather: it’s fashion month again! My biggest reason to be super duper happy right now. This time last year I visited New York Fashion Week, which was one of the highlights of my blogging career. And this year I’m gonna give London Fashion Week a go! So be sure to follow me […]
All layered up for autumn
Technically speaking it isn’t autumn yet, but warm days are definitely becoming an exception. Apparently The Netherlands has seen its last summer days this week, so I’m preparing myself for bad weather – mentally and wardrobe-wise. That’s why I thought it was time to buy myself some nice knits to cosy up on the couch. I found […]
Say ‘Hi’ with neon letters
We’re only a couple of days into September, but days are already getting shorter, darker and colder. This means I am (and you too, probably) spending more days at home. I am still buying new things for the home each month and this month I decided to invest in some atmospheric lighting. I’ve been a big fan of […]
Don’t sweat, it’s faux suede
And we can’t stop, and we won’t stop… Eh, who knew Miley Cyrus would ever be the inspiration for the start of a post? Well, what we – or at least I – can’t stop, is obsessing over suede! I’m a vegetarian and sometimes I feel kind of guilty to be wearing anything made of animal […]
ShowUP Interior Fair Favourites
One of the perks of my job at Kitsch Kitchen is being able to visit fairs. Last week I visited ShowUP, a trade fair for interior professionals in The Netherlands. Press can go there to write about all upcoming collections and professionals are usually there to buy products for their shop. This time 170 brands were present to […]
August in outfits
Poof! Another month just went by. Autumn is around the corner and I’ve been shopping autumn fashion like crazy. Of the money that is left from decorating my home, that is 😉 August is probably the last month in which you see me rocking just summer outfits. Unfortunately I had another super busy month at […]
5 things to love about Amsterdam
I freaking love Amsterdam and enjoy every minute I spend there. I work in the city, have a lot of friends there, plus I do a photoshoot – like the one you’re looking at – there every once in a while. When I was a little girl it was my dream to live in this city one […]
Autumn trend: denim on denim
Raise your hand if you’re excited about autumn coming up! Well, it’s obviously hard for you to see this, but I didn’t raise my hand. And nope, that’s not because I’m typing this article 😉 I’m just more a summer type of gal. One thing that does get me excited for this season however- or any […]

I told you guys I’d be hosting a fun interior giveaway soon and here it is! The giveaway is Instagram based and I’m hosting it in collaboration with Vintagelab15, an online shop selling design furniture for affordable prices. I stumbled upon Vintagelab15 when I was looking for inexpensive dining room chairs and immediately fell for […]
An old friend
It’s always good to meet up with old friends. This week I did just that, as I finally met up with Virgit (a.k.a. Preppy Fashionist) again. She’s not even my oldest friend, but with some people you just connect so well, that it feels like you’ve been friends for ages. I haven’t seen her for […]
Lace up flats for any budget
My best fashion investment this summer may surprise you. It’s not an expensive bag or pair of shoes, it wasn’t even an actual investment. I clicked home one day thinking they might be a nice addition to my wardrobe. I mean, they’re the perfect mix between comfy and chic, as you can see in this […]
Turtlenecks in the summer? Sure!
Summer is lovely, yada yada yada. I don’t have to tell you what’s so amazing about summertime, but there’s one thing I can’t help but think. I secretly can’t wait for fall too start. Especially when I see fall fashion popping up in every store I love. All those warm colours and sturdy fabrics have […]
Meet my colourful dining area
Here it is! Finally I’m giving you another peak into my home. I wanted to show you something earlier on, but being the perfectionist that I am I had to wait until I was completely satisfied 🙂 Never have I had so much fun decorating my home! Our previous place was super tiny so […]
July in outfits
What up August! The first of August is my birthday, which obviously makes August my fave month. But I always love July and this July was very special as I finally got my internet back, woohoo! So with that came the rediscovery of my blogging mojo and I produced a couple of fun outfits, if I may say […]
BELATED BIRTHDAY
Yesterday was my birthday and I don’t think I’ve ever been less prepared for it. My bday last year included birthday giveaways, wish lists and concluded in this awesome shoot. This year I ended up shooting on my actual birthday! My life has been a bit chaotic lately – hope I’m not boring you with the […]
Suede trenchcoat: the sequel
This spring I wrote a post about being obsessed with suede trenchcoats. After that post I kept on searching for one, but it took a while to find the one beauty that wouldn’t cost me hundreds of euros. I guess it took a while before highstreet stores picked up on the trend and were able […]
THERE’S A NEW CHUCK ON THE BLOCK
Being an absolute shoe lover any shoe news is good news to me. So imagine my delight when I heard the latest news about Converse. Everything out there seems to be getting a 2.0 version, so why not update a classic: it’s time for the Chuck Taylor II! To top it off, they’re getting launched […]
LIFE IS BETTER AT THE BEACH
For someone who lives so close to the beach, I spend way too little time at it. It’s actually just a 20 minute train ride til I get there. Definitely the cheapest & easiest way to go on a little beach holiday, if you ask me. The only thing holding me back right now is time. […]
