Outfit - Wifey For Lifey

December 28, 2015

Location: Royal Palace, Amsterdam

Happy Monday

I hope you all enjoyed a fabulous and wonderful Christmas and got to share it with your favorite loved ones. We sure did. Me and the bf Emiel spend three full days with family enjoying great conversations and just the yummiest foods.We are both looking back at a wonderful year working on this blog, creating all these posts together for you guys. We share this huge love for photography and for me it is amazing to have a partner in crime. We are more then a team; We are best friends, soul mates and we have amazing plans for the future which I can not tell you about just yet, but I will share some more of it on the blog soon enough. We feel as if we are in this thing called: love and partnership for life and that's why this sweater with the text: "Wifey For Lifey" is so funny, yet appropriate for the two of us!  I spotted this cool number at Colourful Rebel which is a Dutch brand who creates just the coolest sweater and shirts with slogans that make me laugh. We all need a little bit of humor in life right? The Colourful Rebel boutique is just down the street from our apartment, but you can find their online store right here

About my outfit: We are having the mildest winter recorded in history, so when we shot these photos, it was actually not cold at all. At first I picked a burgundy wide brimmed fedora hat to go with this outfit, but after a terrible traffic jam and finally stepping out the car afterwards, the wind blew off my hat and it ended up in one of the Amsterdam canals. I was so bummed, but we were very short on time. It was already 3.30 in the afternoon, so we had less than an hour to shoot this look before it would be completely dark. Ouch blogger stress!  We rushed into the Kalverstraat and after running into the first store in sight, Emiel picked this burgundy pom pom beanie at River Island. I had to agree that the beanie would look even better with this sweater then the fedora hat I chose earlier. So hey, life can turn out surprisingly well, even when you think everything is going against you. The only thing I need to do now is to buy a new burgundy fedora, but hey there are worst things in the world right?

Curious to hear what you guys think of this look!

Village On Ice

December 21, 2015

Location: Museum Plein Amsterdam

Let's face it, a warm and pretty coat is one of the most important items during winter time. Especially when you are on the go and outside for hours. As much as I love light jackets, nothing beats a fluffy coat like the one I am wearing in this post. Yesterday we went to Village On Ice,  a fabulous Christmas fare right in the heart of Amsterdam and like a kid in a candy store, I just was in awe of all the yummy foods, the fun ice rink and great music yelling trough the immense speakers. Strolling the market with a cup off hot cocoa exploring all the food and clothing stands is definitely my idea of the perfect Sunday afternoon. What's yours?

Red Plaid

December 18, 2015

Location: Colourfull Rebel Amsterdam

Happy Friday

I can't even believe the weather we've been getting here in The Netherlands. Yesterday we recorded temps at 14 degrees Celsius (57 Fahrenheit) . This is officially the warmest December we have ever encountered in history. I was able to just pull off this plaid shirt and metallic moto vest and wasn't the least bit cold. I have never been able to do that with Christmas just around the corner. Oh well I guess we won't be having a white Christmas this year.

I am not sure if this outfit is a man reppeller, but the bf slash photographer Emiel absolutely "hates" plaid anything. I have to keep convincing him; wearing plaid is effortlessly cool and so on-trend right now. I have always loved plaid and this time, Emiel can't keep me from wearing it. Sorry love!  I have to admit that wearing plaid does appear a bit tom boyish, so I do like to mix it up with a touch of sexy feminine leopard and I added a sparkling skinny scarf  for that seventies flair. The cute bracelets I am wearing are handmade by my fourteen year old cousin Sam. He did a great job don't you think?

Outfit - Cozied Up

November 30, 2015

Hey everyone

The fall season is all about staying warm and with the weather getting colder and colder I love to invest in warm outerwear preferably with an attached fur hoodie like the one I am wearing here in this post. I think this is the warmest poncho I have ever worn in my life. Rainy days and cold winds, it doesn't matter,  this wool poncho feels like a warm blanket.  It is the perfect cold weather escape right? Just on the go, I kept my outfit classically simple, although I love adding a pair of buckled ankle booties for a little rock and roll edge. 

Voyeur

November 23, 2015

Location: Leidseplein Amsterdam

Happy Monday

A run around town and I just had to take off my coat to shoot these photos right in the middle of one of the busiest squares in Amsterdam called: The Leidse Plein. Isn't this Victorian lace and bow top just the cutest?  The letter V on my cap  stands for Voyeur which is one of the hottest dance parties at The Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam this Saturday. 
Think the coolest Djs to get you in the right party mood! Will you come and join me all you Dutchies out there? You can find all the details right here. In the meantime, how do you guys like this all black outfit? Me known for being a color fanatic I do tend to wear more and more black outfits lately. Oh well it might be one of my phases right? Hope you guys like it!
