The Velvet Legging

August 30, 2016

 

 This Falls favorite fabric will just have to be anything velvet. I happen to absolutely love velvet and in today's look, I am introducing the velvet legging. Easy to style, luxurious, versatile, comfortable and oh so on trend.

I am also loving this new choker I scored a few weeks ago and is a mini version of the western belt that's just been everywhere lately. Paired with a lace bomber jacket and a white asymmetrical tee  making the velvet legging totally wearable. What do you guys think?

Favorites Of Summer

August 17, 2016

 

Summer is still with us, but why oh why do I always feel that near the end of August Summer is almost over yet? Emiel and I are counting down for our move to Indonesia this October, so for me, Summer isn't nearly over yet. Just when Fall hits in Europe and the U.S. we will be off to tropical climates again.

We are exhilarated, to start this new journey and of course, we are excited to share it all on this blog and Instagram with you guys. Today I am sharing my favorite outfits of this Summer and while scrolling through it all,  I noticed that because of the unbearable heat in Bali and Maluku islands, all my looks were very loose fitted. I guess it's time to change that up a little right and add some fall flavor to it. I hope I can pull it off being back in the heat again. Wish me luck...

Shopping Tip - The Velvet Trend

August 13, 2016

  

One thing is fur sure the velvet trend is taking over by storm and we better get used to it. Have you checked out the Fall collections by major retailers like Zara, H&M, Top Shop, Mango and River Island and online at Net-A-Porter, Nelly.com, Nasty Gal and Asos? The list is long, but they all have adorable pieces stocked up in this luxurious, plush fabric. Don't think this is anything for your grandma. I know, I know, taking a plunge wearing luscious velvet feels pretty old-school and something for old ladies. But you know what? Velvet is smoking hot again and back from the "almost" dead.  You can pair velvet pieces fabulously with lace, satin, leather and denim items and while Summer is still here, a smart girl is already on the lookout for fun pieces for the next season. 

Denim On Denim On Denim

August 10, 2016

Happy Wednesday everyone,

Just a quick post sharing a few of my denim favorites. Denim on denim remains one of my favorite go-to outfits. First because when you are in a hurry you don't need much imagination to create a cool look, you just add shoes and a bag. Second, because denim is just plain fabulous, so the more denim we can wear the merrier right?

6 Hot Spots In Ibiza You'll Never Want To Leave

August 8

Happy Monday lovelies

How is your Summer going my friends? I have been noticing everywhere on Instagram and Facebook that Ibiza remains one of the top destinations in Europe. Of course, who can I blame right? This sizzling sexy island has everything that we could possibly want in a vacation. Beautiful beaches, a rich culture, fabulous bohemian inspired shopping and a nightlife that beats everything. Are you also heading to Ibiza this Summer? Here are a few spots that I personally could not stay away from the last time I was there...

How To Style A Baby Doll White Dress

August 6, 2016

I think it's safe to say I've always been a huge fan of white baby doll dresses. Hand me a lace version and I am smitten. I think the love affair started when I was a child when studying classical ballet and reading fairy tale books were a huge part of my daily activities.

 Now of course ballet has nothing to do with a baby doll dress, but somehow it does remind me of it, because of the frilly and lace appearance. Fast forward to 2016, I think these dresses can be updated with classic denim and a pair of edgy flat sandals, or style them with a leather jacket and combat boots for a cute bad girl look. 

High-Low Camouflage

August 2, 2016

Location: De Pijp, Amsterdam

Nothing is easier than throwing on a flowy shirtdress. This particular high-low piece in camouflage print happens to be one of my favorites. It's easy to dress up or down. Today I paired it with one of my favorite Gucci bags, tied a colorful bandana around my neck and added a pair of sneakers for a casual vibe.

My babe Emiel loves anything camouflage, so he's totally happy whenever I wear this. He is really into that "sexy slash tough" girl look and I am happy to oblige because camouflage prints in all sorts of colors happen to be major this summer.  How do you guys like this particular piece?
