Outfit | Ciao

31/01/2019 | Reageer

I recieved this beautiful dress from My Jewellery. They recently launched a new collection, called the Ciao Bella collection – I love it! This beautiful floral dress is perfect for me during spring and city trips (to Italy). It reminds me of a beautiful city trip from a while ago to Florence. I can not wish for a nicer dress in my closet for upcoming spring. For example, I can wear it without tights and with open strap heels duringย warmer weather, or with nice white sneakers. Anyways, These accessoriesย are are a permanent combination for me with this dress. [Lees meer…]

Lucky me! Last week I won 2x 50 euro shopping money with 2 instagram photos at both Loavies and NA-KD fashion. What a coincidence! From my Loavies budget I bought this dress that I really like. I like it both for next summer with a pair of heels, as this winter with a thick pair of tights and booties. Other news – only about 3 more weeks and then I will be flying again. Of course I am really looking forward to this new chapter of my dream job – being a flight attendant. I am very curious about this new season! [Lees meer…]

This beautiful suit was on my wishlist for months. I decided to style the suit almost the same as my outfit post: Suit. I also spot it often on the Instagram page of Given. The pieces of this suit are truly a few of the most amazing items I have in my collection. The color is gorgeous and one of my favorites. I recieved the snake necklace as a gift from my sister for Christmas. I think this suit is fantastic if I want to go out in style/representative, or just want to dress up business like. [Lees meer…]

Lately, I have a lot of nice things on my schedule; studying some things, blog shoots, working on plans for new (special) content and business, meeting up with friends, having lunch and drinking coffee in the city center. Yesterday I went to Utrecht with my best friend, which was nice. We had lunch at a very cool looking place. Unfortunately, there are sometimes less nice things that happen, but I try to focus on the fun things. [Lees meer…]

I uploaded this cute dress on Instagram earlier this week already because I couldn’t wait to post it! I have probably said it in a hundred posts, but red is my favorite color. Red is a color that makes me feel good and looks good in every season. I scored this red lace dress in the sale @ Loavies and like to combine it with my Given belt, gold items and black boots. The lace makes it look very classy in my opinion. [Lees meer…]

How was your NYE? I hope yours was great! About the outfit – I recieved this beautiful lace blouse as a gift after attending an event (which I have told in the other posts with the other given items as well) I like the classy, yet business-like combination. This is definitely one of my personal favorites!ย  [Lees meer…]

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 doesnโ€™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 didnโ€™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. ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝโœจ

POV: You spent your 20s in beauty competitions.

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

What they donโ€™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:

โœจ Miss World
โœจ Miss Universe
โœจ Miss Grand International
โœจ Miss Cosmo
โœจ 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. ๐Ÿ’ซ

Gone (solo) travelling ๐Ÿ˜œ

One day theyโ€™ll look for the version of you that was always there.

The version they took for granted.

And by then, youโ€™ll be gone.

Whatโ€™s the hardest lesson something taught you without meaning to?

Beautiful villa @villa_hunab_ku ๐ŸŒด

One day I realized:

I wasnโ€™t afraid of being and travelling alone.

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

So I booked the flight. โœˆ๏ธ

Whatโ€™s something youโ€™ve been waiting for?

Based on facts ๐ŸŒดโœˆ๏ธ 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? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Mini cut from last weekend in Marbella

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.

The truths and misconceptions about me and my participation in the pageant and standing up for my personal narrative and story. – Celebrate Your Authenticity: My Core Value, Standing up against Bullying, and Self-empowerment. “I signed a contract that does not allow me to be completely open about my experiences with ‘MWNL’. Nevertheless, I want to […]
