Outfit | Classique

01/12/2023 | Reageer

I received this dress as a gift from The Pretty Dress Company – a brand that I love working with for over two years already. The dresses are timeless, of good quality and beautiful for many occasions. Plus, they’re made and designed in England. I mainly wear Size 8 – EU 36 from this lovely British brand. The price of the dresses (separate from sale) varies from 150 to 285 euros per dress.

A ‘little black dress’ – is a must in the wardrobe of a classic lady. Anyone who has been following my style for some time knows that I love a classy style, combined with a style of ‘old money’, business and flamboyant colors. Casual, denim, sporty and oversized are absolutely far from my style. There isn’t a pair of blue jeans or a hoodie in my closet in all honesty.
I got myself a good friend during my participation at Miss World for Miss Netherlands in 2021, who also shares this classic style just like me – Brenda. In my opinion, a style inspiration for many women and Miss Netherlands 2019 for the Miss World beauty pageant. Her blog can be found here:  Your Feminine Charm

It’s wonderful to have one friend in my group of friends who also wears this old money/classic style. Not everyone nowadays dares to wear this style every day out of fear that people will have an opinion about it. I have to say that I actually receive a lot of compliments by wearing these outfits. Because I radiate that I feel good in what I wear, and I don’t care what people think about it. I embrace my femininity and womanhood. I like to inspire others by being myself. I definitely don’t do it for compliments or for validation, but because I feel most confident in the clothes I like.

Deze jurk heb ik cadeau gekregen van The Pretty Dress Company – een merk waar ik al meer dan twee jaar met veel liefde mee samenwerk. De jurken zijn tijdloos, van goede kwaliteit én prachtig voor een hoop gelegenheden. Bovendien zijn ze gemaakt en ontworpen in Engeland. Ik draag voornamelijk Size 8 – EU 36 van dit Britse merk. De prijs van de jurken (los van sale) varieert van omgerekend 150 tot 285 euro per jurk.

Een ‘little black dress’ – is een must in de kast van een klassieke dame. Wie mijn style al langer volgt, weet dat ik houd van een classy style, gecombineerd met een style van ‘old money’, business én flamboyante vormen/kleuren. Casual, denim, sportief en oversized zijn dan ook absoluut verre van mijn style. Er is geen blauwe spijkerbroek of hoodie in mijn kast te bekennen in alle eerlijkheid.
Ik heb een goede vriendin tijdens mijn Miss Nederland voor Miss World tijd gemaakt, die óók deze klassieke style deelt net als ik – Brenda. In mijn mening een style inspiratie voor veel vrouwen én Miss Nederland 2019 voor de Miss World verkiezing. Haar blog is hier te vinden:  Your Feminine Charm

Heerlijk om één vriendin in mijn vriendengroep te hebben die ook deze old money/classic style draagt.  Niet iedereen tegenwoordig durft deze style nog dagelijks te dragen, uit angst dat mensen er een mening over hebben. Ik moet zeggen dat ik juist enorm veel complimenten ontvang door deze outfits te dragen. Omdat ik uitstraal dat ik me goed voel in wat ik draag en het mij niet uitmaakt wat men er van vindt. Ik omarm mijn vrouwelijkheid en het vrouw zijn en inspireer graag door mijzelf te zijn. Ik doe het absoluut niet voor complimenten of voor bevestiging, maar omdat ik me het meest zelfverzekerd voel in de kleding die ik leuk vind.

Tulum, mi destino mágico 🌙🌴🌵
Some months ago I had the beautiful privilege to stay at @villa_hunab_ku multiple times - an absolute masterpiece and truly my aesthetic dream place in Tulum.

I remember sitting in the bathtub on the balcony of the master bedroom, the one I chose out of the five… in complete silence. Just looking out into the trees, feeling the warmth, and realizing how incredibly grateful I felt in that moment.

Grateful to be able to create a life where I get to travel, experience places like this, and even work with them. Something that once felt far away, and now feels like something I’ve slowly built for myself - step by step, by staying true to who I am and not letting other people’s opinions define me or hold me back.

At this villa, everything felt calm.
Safe. Peaceful. Grounded.

Waking up slowly, biking through Aldea Zamá to Nimenõ for my favorite coffee and breakfast just a few minutes away… those simple moments that end up meaning the most.

This villa is perfect for a group trip or something like a bachelorette, but I also loved experiencing it in my own way. Having the space to myself, inviting friends over sometimes, and just enjoying the balance between connection and stillness.

That balance felt very aligned with me.

Gracias en todos, @villa_hunab_ku 🤍

Altitude disease is no joke! 🏞️ Bucket list trip mini vlog 🇵🇪 - Solo trip to Peru.

Recently, I have visited Peru for 7 days with the ultimate goal to visit Machu Picchu - one of the 7 modern wonders of the world. I’m blessed to call this my 5th world wonder and my 30th country before 30. 

Although I went back home earlier due to being sick a lot and my Paris trip from Lima on not continuing (my closest ones know why❤️‍🩹) it was truly wonderful. And mainly because of the beautiful souls I have met here!

Is Peru on your list? Leave a comment 💌

All outfits are @nakdfashion
