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…]

Outfit | Chique

| Reageer

Hi everyone, it’s been a while since I posted an outfit on my blog. Other things have had priority and I don’t make outfit posts (anymore) of most of my collaborations. But i’ll still post outfits on my blog every now and then. Outfits that I really want to make a large post of, with or without sponsored items, will still be online. I selected this dress during one of my NA-KD collaborations. The fabric is very thick and ideal for the winter, I think you can get away with it very well with a white sneaker. My best friend Jeremy has also had more room to shoot lately, that’s been months and my regular blog outfits are taken pictures of by a handful of different people, including Jeremy. Note: there is a light filter over my photos, to make the photos/me stand out a little better. [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Champagne

| Reageer

I have been collaborating with NA-KD fashion for several months in a row this year. 2018 was the last time I had multiple collaborations with them, so I am very excited that this is already my 5th collaboration. It has been going very fast since this year. From this 5th collaboration, I have chosen this beautiful dress in champagne, with a number of other items. With code mandy20 you get a 20 percent discount from December 13 to 15. This beautiful dress stays nice for a very long time and is suitable for many events. From a glass of wine with friends, to a Christmas or party outfit, to a cool dress at a charming foreign destination. [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Diva

| Reageer

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.

Photoshoot Report | Bridal mansion shoot

| Reageer

Hi everyone. I would like to share with you another portfolio/modelling post. Bridal is basically my ‘specialty’ when it comes to modeling. I feel very grateful when I have another shoot like this beautiful shoot on my schedule. The result is often even better than I already expected. They always know how to surprise me and a shoot day (with them) really feels like a party! I get a lot of energy from my modeling assignments, and that’s why I love to share it with you. Over time, some additional photos may be added to the post. [Lees meer…]

Greece Travel diary | 4 day holiday to Zakynthos

| Reageer


I can’t believe how fast time goes. Zakynthos has been seriously almost 2-3 months since I post this (Early September)! I will already tell you that Zakynthos is one of the most beautiful places I have visited in Europe and I highly recommend it! The flight distance is around 2.5 hours, so also quite close. This trip was a total of 4 days. You can do a lot more in such a short time than you might think. I like to go on an adventure or discovery. A complete “beach vacation” or “party vacation” is not for an adventurous and curious person like me. So I have to tell you that I really can’t spend whole days just lying on a beach. I prefer to travel (around the island (with or without a plan) with a car), sightseeing, discovering a nice new city and old streets, eating and drinking deliciously, trying local food, drinking coffee on terraces, taking lots of pictures with my camera, exploring the local culture of a place (for example, my Japan trips), visit viewpoints over the city or landscapes, get to know new people from all over the world, see beautiful places, do lots of cycling and walking, or on adventure/discovery… you name it.

Outfit | Alicante

| Reageer

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. [Lees meer…]

In between all the Alicante and other travel posts, here’s a throwback outfit post from my Zakynthos trip from last September. I got a lot of positive reactions from you ladies about this set, and I collected all the photos I could find from my upcoming travel post and processed them in a separate outfit post. This dreamy set is fantastic for a fun summer trip to an island like Zakynthos, Ibiza, Curaçao, you name it! I think it’s so cute and it’s lovely to wear with high temperatures. By the way, I received a lot of items from my long term collaboration that will soon be on my instagram: By Dash Beauty & Fashion. At the bottom of the post you can find a link to the set and website.

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.
