Outfit | Ibiza

| Leave a Comment

Hi everyone! Last week I had 3 wonderful days in Ibiza. As usual it was not a trip for work, but just a mini vacation trip. In a few days I will finally be in Mexico! This time I have booked an actual ticket instead of a standby ticket. I don’t want to risk not getting on the flight again. This lovely dress is from Zara and funnily enough I spotted it 3x with other women in Ibiza when I was wearing it myself! Super nice in combination with my Gucci marmont super mini bag and low translucent block heels. This series of photos reminds me a bit of my outfit in Split. The best tip I can give you on a summer vacation is to take lots of pictures in the shade! That’s where the light is often the best for an outfit shoot like this one. The photos were taken in the old town, I will soon tell you about my tips and experiences of Ibiza in a new travel diary. [Read more…]

Spain Travel diary | 3 day last minute october trip to Alicante

| Leave a Comment

Hi everyone! Last autumn I went to Alicante with a friend who was temporarily working at my airline. Due to all of my busy schedules, all my travel diaries had been ‘on hold’ for a few months. In this blog I will explain to you in short with a lot of photos what we did in Alicante in 3 days. In bold you will find some tips and an explanation of our experiences. I have to tell you honestly that I like to do active things, but because it was very last minute, and we had very busy schedules, we both felt the need to take it easy during this last minute trip.

Spain & Portugal travel diary | Unexpected road trip to Faro, Sevilla, Tarifa & Marbella

| Leave a Comment

Hi everyone! Lately I have very little time to make travel posts. Creating one takes a lot of time, but I love doing this. This is the travel diary about my road trip from Faro, Sevilla, Tarifa, Marbella and Malaga in 5 days. In February I was due to go to Mexico during my annual unpaid leave as a new distant solo trip. Joelle, a good friend of mine, wanted to travel with me last minute for a few days, before continuing the journey solo. To briefly summarize how that ended: The flight was full and Joelle and I were left behind (we were going to fly standby; a cheap way of flying for people in aviation if there is room on board). My heart was disappointed that we were left behind. We gave our cheesecake to the sweet senior purser I happened to know so that the crew could enjoy a snack on their long flight to Cancun. Unfortunately, we decided to pick up our suitcase and come up with a new plan on the spot. Once at plaza we canceled everything we had booked (and luckily got the money back from the hotels). We decided to do some brainstorming over a cup of coffee and then abruptly decided to fly to Joelle’s best friend later that afternoon. [Read more…]

Hi everyone! After almost 3 years (time flies so fast!), I was once again in Seville for a moment. This was all last minute. I bought this beautiful suit in Faro, where we had landed for the start of our mini road trip. We walked past a boutique and Joelle said the suit behind the window was really my thing, once inside I bought the same suit, but in my favorite color, red. Joelle bought the same suit in a different color, the one behind the window. We had packed summer clothes for Mexico, so had to quickly buy something nice and warmer. The suit is handmade in Italy and was slightly discounted, making it less expensive. Shall I make another outfit shoot of this outfit besides this one? [Read more…]

Outfit | Alicante

| Leave a Comment

Hi everyone, this was my first outfit in Alicante. Recieved a lot of positive reactions, so time to list all the details here. I ordered the skirt and the blouse almost a year ago, and only now made an outfit post out of them despite I often wear them both with a different combination. The weather in Alicante was still well around 25 degrees when I was there with a friend, so totally great! I really like the neutral colors of the outfit, also because autumn is here. It’s a 70’s look in 2021 style. By the way, this skirt has a nice sparkle and I also wear it a lot during autumn/winter with over-the-knee boots and a turtle neck top. The blouse is made of a satin-look fabric and also very beautiful with black trousers and high heels. By the way, where I am here in Alicante is a surprising place. When we started wandering around the city without a plan, we soon arrived at a very old neighborhood, which is also where the place where I am standing in the pictures is located. [Read more…]

Hi everyone, I now have a wonderful 17 days holiday from work, but I’m still very busy with mainly fun things, an interview, 3 day trip to Alicante, my friends and 2 shoots in one week. I like to plan my days full, but also keep a lot of days completely empty. I have a lot of time to relax. In the meantime, I have also started ‘floating’ and did it twice already, a really great recommendation if you want to completely relax on your own.

Spain Travel Diary | 3 day getaway to Malaga

| Leave a Comment

Last week I went to Malaga with my good friend and colleague Michelle. This city trip was a last minute decision, so that made it even more fun. We decided to relax for 3 days in a much warmer city to catch up, because we hadn’t seen each other for a few months. On March 4 we flew to Malaga with a very nice crew from our home base Eindhoven Airport, Standby. I had a three-day weekend, so as I had done before, a city trip suited perfectly. We arrived in the evening so we changed our outfit in our AirBnb apartment and then went out for dinner. By the way, our Airbnb was called Malaga City Breaks. What quickly struck me was the enormous hospitality of this city. [Read more…]

Outfit | Malaga

I have just returned from a 3-day spontaneous trip in my weekend with my good friend Michelle. In 2018 we also went to Florence together. The trip really recharged me. We ate, drank, walked and cycled a lot and took many photos. The weather was really great! It was around 22 degrees celcius. I can consider myself as a lucky person because I had forgotten my camera in the taxi, and because the taxi driver had given us a business card, I was able to call him in time to head back to the airport. When I opened the taxi door, when he came back after my phone call, the camera was still there on the seat and I thanked him a hundred times for returning asap. THANK HEAVENS. [Read more…]

Spain Travel Diary | Second 3 day trip to Valencia

| Leave a Comment

At the end of last month I went to Valencia for the second time. This beautiful city remains a nice hotspot in my eyes for sea, city, shopping and delicious food. I went there with a colleague. We arrived halfway through the afternoon and went there by Standby seats (flying for a reduced price for flight attendants). The first day was relaxed. After the flight we decided to change clothes and head for the boulevard to eat and drink for a long time. [Read more…]
