Outfit | Wedding

| Reageer

At the beginning of this month, I had my dear cousin’s wedding and his now wife. What a beautiful day! I am so very proud of those two and it was nice to be there with my precious family. Now I have to admit that I have never been to a real wedding in my adult life! My dream is to get married myself one day and I often work as a bridal model, so it is very nice to experience it in real life! Because of the nice reactions to this look, I decided to create an outfit post of this as well! I bought this dress when I was still participating in Miss Netherlands (for Miss World) 2021. I wore it there when I was a judge during the casting while I was still a finalist myself. The dress code was pastel for the wedding, so I pulled this one out again! [Lees meer…]

Mexico travel diary (extra long) | 3th solo trip to Tulum

| Reageer

Welcome to my part 2 of my personal travel diary! A little sidenote is that there are a lot more pictures of myself in this post than usual, because I didn’t create outfit posts of all outfits here and decided to combine it in this upload. If you haven’t read part one, you can click here: part one. The last 8 days of this trip I would spend in my favorite place for the 3th time; Tulum. I have to tell you that I was a bit afraid that it would get quite hard because of my personal reason, more hard than the last few days in Mexico. My goal was once again to go right through it to celebrate the love for this place and the wonderful memories I have of this special place. On the other hand, I had also really looked forward to being back in Tulum! [Lees meer…]

Mexico travel diary | Back to Mexico solo – Mexico city & Puerto Escondido

| 1 Reactie

Today, my journey started with luckily getting a seat at the gate on the flight to Mexico City (CDMX). I was really looking forward to visiting this destination and secretly looking forward to it even more than going back to Japan. I have quite a love for Mexico, so I love to go back often. It was with a double feeling, because of my situation in November. I wanted to move between the pain of a circumstance and the love of this place. The best way to get out of something is to go straight through and into it. I decided to take the bull by its horns, because I don’t want to let something win against me if it can cost or affect me something very beautiful. Last November I already did that with all the strength I had in me. And this journey made me realize how strong and courageous I was last fall, and how that same money goes back for now. It’s not the place that hurt me, and I want to protect and appreciate the love for that place with all my power. [Lees meer…]

Japan travel diary | 3th Solo trip to Tokyo (and Dubai) part 2

| Reageer

I’ve been to Shibuya Sky, Tokyo Skytree and Shinjuku Metropolitan Government Building so far. This day I really wanted to go to Roppongi Hills, because I still wanted to visit this viewpoint. Be aware that you have an outdoor vantage point and an indoor one. If you want to visit the outside point, you pay another 500 yen on top of the entrance fee. [Lees meer…]

Japan travel diary | 3th Solo trip to Tokyo part 1

| Reageer

Hi everyone! In this post I am going to tell you about my third solo trip to Japan two months ago. Japan is one of the few countries that has really remained closed for a long time during corona, and also post-covid. October 2022, the borders were finally open for both unvaccinated and vaccinated travelers! Good news, because I was never vaccinated and wanted to go back to Tokyo. When I had more than 5-6 weeks off thanks to my part-time and vacation, I decided to travel to Tokyo as soon as possible after my 3-day modeling assignment in Germany. By coincidence, my flying colleagues Dennis and René went on exactly the same days and exactly the same flights – so we decided to hang out for a short while in Japan. After more than 3 years, I wanted to go back to Tokyo solo. [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Marrakech

| Reageer

Yesterday afternoon I came back from Marrakech. I was given an amazing opportunity to travel to Marrakech for a week. It was for a special circumstance and to stay there for a very special occasion. I am also very grateful that this came my way. In the near future, there will be a lot of posts online from the trips I’ve made lately. Because outfit posts also take a lot less time and I often have collab deadlines, I often post the outfits first and then the travel posts.

Outfit | Brussels

| 1 Reactie

These outfit photos are from my four day layover in Brussels while working as a flight attendant. I had a very nice crew with me! Now that I’m home, I’m already preparing myself for a 7-day trip to Marrakech. A very nice surprise that I will tell you more about later. By the way, this is not a trip for my work as a flight attendant – we rarely stay at another destination, except for Dubai and occasionally Brussels. During this nice Brussels stay, we went out for dinner with two crews, had breakfast with two crews and on my last day had a coffee with a colleague in the city center.

Outfit | Puerto

| 1 Reactie

The beautiful place of this sunset is in Puerto Escondido. I really liked Puerto, but because my hostel was very disappointing, I found my stay less exiting than I had hoped. It is really completely different from Tulum, but I had a great time there with the travelers I got to know. Personally, I think that Puerto has a lot of nice lunch, coffee, cocktail and food shops! As I have repeated many times on my blog, I think solo travel is the most beautiful thing there is. I am eternally grateful for the wonderful people I have met. I found my first lover (ex), some of my best friends and a lot of learning lessons that have brought me further in life.

Outfit | Meteora

| Reageer

I bought this dress vintage on Vinted. I really love the Lavish Alice brand, so I often look for cool pieces of vinted. In combination with a nice red lipstick, it gives me a Marilyn Monroe impression. The place where I took these beautiful pictures is the hostel where I stayed. My last two nights in the private were non-committal for me as a collaboration, and the restaurant where I took one of the photos was also non-committal – this look was for a collaboration. I am very grateful to have some great collaborations in Tulum. [Lees meer…]
