Hi everyone! I have had this super cute dress for almost 3 years – but unfortunately it has often hung in the closet because I didn’t have many occasions to wear it. This beautiful dress from Diva Catwalk in size M often went with me in my suitcase, but was often too warm to wear. This time the climate in Tulum was a lot cooler than the normal seasons I go, so I finally had the chance to wear it now. The dress gives me the same idea of the iconic dress of Margot Robbie (Naomi) in The Wolf of Wallstreet. I liked her style in that film so much for years that I wanted to have some of the same looks. The photos were again, taken at Meteora – who I often work with. I received this dress in 2021/22 as a collaboration with Diva Catwalk. In case you want to buy the same dress, it is now hugely discounted! [Lees meer…]

This beautiful white dress is from Diva Catwalk. I love their beautiful, timeless dresses and own countless of them. The great thing about their dresses is that they can be worn for years, and they fit perfectly around the body. I own all dresses in size M and some in S. I think a white dress like this is very suitable for visiting a wedding, business appointment but also if you want to look neat for a daily activity. The accessories of this outfit are from Gucci, except for the earrings and shoes. If you are interested in this dress, the model is called Tessa. [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone. I wanted to take pictures of this beautiful outfit before the holidays, but unfortunately the winter paradise in the city was canceled around Christmas. This gorgeous 20’s style hollywood dress from Diva Catwalk is a wonderful addition to my collection of classy dresses and black dresses. I also wore it for Christmas. Even though we were in lockdown during the holidays, I still wanted to dress nicely. That’s what the holidays are for, right? (and in my case, all outdoor activities). Although I am not going to lie that I was not recognizable during christmas breakfast in comparison to this selection of photos, haha. For those who asked: Of course I do the makeup for my blog outfits all by myself. [Lees meer…]

You might have seen this beautiful red dress on my Instagram a few times over the past few months, including a lot of other beautiful dresses from the brand Diva Catwalk. I always get a lot of positive reactions to the beautiful dresses I wear from them. They are chic, timeless and feminine. They are suitable for many occasions, but also for business meetings. I got to know this beautiful London based brand last year. The dresses are of a high quality and timeless. The designs are beautiful without being ’too revealing’, but they do know how to accentuate your body in a classy and beautiful way. My collection now includes 9 timeless dresses from Diva catwalk, of which I have 7 from collaborations. The dresses are handmade in England, and of a high quality. This dress is the Fenella model.

It changed my life.

Not because of the beaches, the sunsets, or the endless tacos.

Mexico taught me that life can be bigger than the version I was settling for.

It was the first place that showed me freedom doesn’t come from having everything figured out, it comes from trusting yourself enough to take the next step.

It gave me lifelong friendships, unforgettable adventures, confidence I didn’t know I had, and the courage to build a life that feels like mine.

I arrived as someone looking for a holiday.

I left with a completely different perspective on what was possible.

And honestly?

A part of me never really came back. πŸ‡²πŸ‡½βœ¨

POV: You spent your 20s in beauty competitions.

People see the gowns, the crowns, the photos and the stage.

What they don’t see are the early mornings, the self-doubt, the courage it takes to keep showing up, and the growth that happens long after the spotlight fades.

My twenties taught me that beauty competitions were never really about beauty.

They were about finding my voice.
About learning confidence.
About standing on a stage when I was terrified.
About representing causes I care about.
About inspiring others to embrace who they are.

I had the honor of competing in:

✨ Miss World
✨ Miss Universe
✨ Miss Grand International
✨ Miss Cosmo
✨ Miss International (selected to represent the Netherlands internationally, later cancelled due to COVID)

The titles were never the biggest reward.

The friendships, lessons, resilience, opportunities, and the woman I became along the way will always mean more than any crown ever could.

To the younger version of me who dreamed of standing on those stages: we did it. πŸ’«

Gone (solo) travelling 😜

One day they’ll look for the version of you that was always there.

The version they took for granted.

And by then, you’ll be gone.

What’s the hardest lesson something taught you without meaning to?

Beautiful villa @villa_hunab_ku 🌴

One day I realized:

I wasn’t afraid of being and travelling alone.

I was afraid of losing my life while waiting for someone else.

So I booked the flight. ✈️

What’s something you’ve been waiting for?

Based on facts 🌴✈️ Can you relate?

"What do you like to do for fun?"

Leave the country.

New places, new people, new stories.
Every single time.

At what point does it stop being a hobby and become a personality trait? πŸ˜‚

Embracing Authenticity | Defending Truth on my Miss World (Netherlands) journey in 2021, my core values and mission

Dutch version below – Hello everyone, I would like to share my truth, vision, and story with all of you, including the beliefs I stand for.
