Outfit | Wedding

21/06/2023 | 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…]

Outfit | Marrakech

29/05/2023 | 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

21/05/2023 | 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

12/05/2023 | 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

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…]

It is official! Tulum is my favorite place in the world. After 3 visits in 11 months, I can certainly confirm that! There is no place in the world where I feel more peaceful and at home, despite my personal circumstances that I have told you about earlier, which are unfortunately connected to this place. You can wear what you want, live how you want, be how you want, and no one judges you. Apart from the fact that Tulum is very expensive in a lot of things, I am grateful to have some collaborations here and to use my crew tickets – which allow me to visit this beautiful place regularly.

Outfit | Edition

16/04/2023 | Reageer

The place where I am in the photos is EDITION, a cocktail bar in a luxury hotel in Tokyo. Together with a friend who lives in Japan – Anita, I went to have a cocktail with her at this place. I really wanted to go to a rooftop bar in Japan this time, so she took me to this place. I have no cooperation with the brand of my dresses. I buy from here regularly – especially during sales, or even through Vinted. The back of this dress has a very nice open back with a bow, and I bought it especially for my 3rd Japan trip. Lavish Alice is one of my favorite brands and sells dresses with unique designs and beautiful colors. A lot of new travel posts will be online soon. [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Hills

10/04/2023 | Reageer

Hi everyone! I literally posted this blog post from Tokyo! I am currently here for the 3rd time on holiday (solo). I got this beautiful neon dress from my sister. It fits really small, so I wear an L with my size 36. The place where I am here is Roppongi Hills – Tokyo cityview. This viewpoint was still on my list, so I visited this place with a friend who lives in Japan. Entrance to this place, including the open platform, costs 2500 yen. These photos are also from today. I am very happy that Japan’s borders have been open again since a few months, so I decided to go back to Tokyo for 9 days during my 5 weeks of part-time and vacation. At the moment, I still have 3 days to go before I am back in the Netherlands. [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Fuego

14/03/2023 | Reageer

If there’s an outfit I’ve worn a lot in the past 3 years, it’s this classy look. Red is my favorite color and wearing red empowers me. When I wear this outfit, I feel elegant and confident, wearing a good outfit enhances that feeling. This classy look and this dress are timeless, so I expect to wear it often in the future. I once bought it at Diva Catwalk, and I don’t expect to ever get tired of this dress. When I was still participating in Miss Netherlands for Miss World, this dress was one I was often wearing.

No one is more alive than the girl making up for the years she lost in survival mode. ✨

I turned 30 knowing exactly what I want from life - I’m just not there yet. I was there years ago, but the bar changed. 

I’ve worked since I was 21, my dream job at that time, but haven’t landed my long-haul dream yet. I’ve never had the long, safe love I want. I still live at home during a housing crisis.

And yes, my Instagram is a highlight reel. Every beautiful moment I share is real - but so are the parts you don’t see.

People sometimes tell me not to share the struggles because “people enjoy seeing you fail.” But those people occupy so little space in my mind that I genuinely forget they exist.

I’d rather be real.

So while I’m building the life I actually want, I’m not waiting to start living. I travel the world alone, chase experiences, meet people, create, dream and collect memories along the way.

I know where I want to go. I’m just not there yet.
And I refuse to call the journey there a failure. 🤍🌎
