Hi everyone. Lately I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my favorite dress of the moment. Every now and then you can treat yourself to something nice from a ‘somewhat higher price category’ – I say to myself, because I don’t do that very often to be very honest. I saw this beautiful dress hanging on the shelf a few months ago and the dress stayed in my head for a very long time. I decided to order it in size EU36 and am very happy with it! The fabric is very nice, and I really like the color. I will be wearing this dress often! I didn’t have a lot of photos from Ibiza for an outfit post, but I collected some here and there to make one anyway. Whether for a nice dinner, as cocktails, as wine, as lunch, as a party… you name it, this dress is very suitable. In the Netherlands, I often wear it with black block heels and my favorite black bag.

Hi everyone. The moment I make this post, I’m finally in Mexico! This outfit is from my Ibiza trip from earlier this month. I think it’s really cool how many neon colors I see coming back in collections this year, and this dress is one of them. In Dubai last year I wore something in this same cool color. I really like this dress and have had it in my closet for a few months now. In the Netherlands I don’t often have the opportunity to put on such cool dresses in my spare time, but on holiday I like to unpack! These photos were taken in front of my hotel swimming pool. I was in a nice quiet spot in Cala Llonga, quite a distance from all the partying. I came to Ibiza with the intention of relaxing, seeing the beautiful island, eating good food and touring with a car. These plans certainly worked! The same goes for Mexico. I am very curious what the next few days will bring me. [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Ibiza

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 shadow! 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. [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone! This outfit is something different than nice colored dresses. I really like this look for the colder days. It’s beautiful and warm. Nice black gloves would also have made it very nice. I have chosen these pants, jacket and sweater from a number of NA-KD collaborations lately. I’ve been running this monthly collaboration since last fall, and I’m very happy with it. [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone, this cute dress is from my most recent series of collaborations with NA-KD fashion.
This dress has a beautiful crossed back on the back which unfortunately I didn’t get a good picture of. It was also quite late, which made the photos a bit less sharp because I had to expose them. For example, I would really like this nice outfit for a trip to Dubai. By the way, I wear the dress in size S. Get a 30% discount today and tomorrow with my code mandy30 on the entire NA-KD collection. [Lees meer…]

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? [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…]

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

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…]
