Outfit | Polly

18/01/2026 | 1 Reactie

Hi everyone! 🤍 Last November–December, I spent a month back in my lovely Mexico – still my favorite place on earth. And combined with my new camera… well, it got a bit out of hand. I seriously took over 1,000 photos. So many, in fact, that I’ve decided to share my outfits and photos in separate blog posts as much as possible. I’m going back soon, and honestly, I haven’t even had enough time to post all my travel diaries yet.

The photos in this blog were taken by my dear friend Cyni at Villa Hunab-Ku in Aldea Zama – a place I’ve worked with before. Something I’m incredibly grateful for. It’s always so special to be able to shoot in such beautiful locations with people you trust and who truly understand your style.

I received so many questions about this dress that I finally decided to buy it from Oh Polly (this isn’t a collaboration, by the way). But let’s be honest: I’m not really into gatekeeping – otherwise I wouldn’t have become a blogger or Instagrammer, haha.

What I love about this look is that I’d wear it during the day in Tulum, but it’s just as perfect for dinner or an evening party. It’s exactly that effortless feeling I love about Mexico: a little chic, a little boho, but above all, comfortable and feminine.

Hi allemaal! 🤍 Afgelopen november–december was ik een maand terug in mijn lieftallige Mexico – nog steeds mijn favoriete plekje op aarde. En in combinatie met mijn nieuwe camera… tja, dat liep een beetje uit de hand. Ik heb serieus meer dan 1000 foto’s gemaakt.

Zó veel zelfs, dat ik heb besloten om mijn outfits en foto’s zoveel mogelijk in aparte blogposts te delen. Ik ga binnenkort alweer terug, en eerlijk gezegd heb ik tot nu toe niet eens genoeg tijd gehad om al mijn travel diaries te posten.

De foto’s in deze blog zijn gemaakt door mijn lieve vriendin Cyni bij Villa Hunab-Ku in Aldea Zama – een plek waar ik al vaker mee heb samengewerkt. Iets waar ik enorm dankbaar voor ben. Het blijft zo bijzonder om op zulke mooie locaties te mogen shooten met mensen die je vertrouwt en die je stijl écht begrijpen.

Over deze jurk kreeg ik zó vaak vragen, dat ik heb besloten hem uiteindelijk te kopen bij Oh Polly (dit is overigens geen samenwerking). Maar eerlijk is eerlijk: ik ben niet zo van het gatekeepen – anders was ik ook geen blogger of Instagrammer geworden, haha.

Wat ik zo leuk vind aan deze look, is dat ik hem in Tulum gewoon overdag draag, maar dat hij net zo goed perfect is voor een etentje of een feestje ’s avonds. Precies dat effortless gevoel waar ik zo van hou in Mexico: een beetje chic, een beetje boho, maar vooral comfortabel en vrouwelijk.

Wait for the end! ✈️ 
Some women wait for love to start living.
I booked the ticket anyway. 

Some of the most beautiful moments of my life happened because I stopped waiting, for permission, for certainty, for someone to come with me.

Solo travelling taught me that freedom can be lonely sometimes, but also deeply empowering. It gave me sunsets in countries I once only dreamed about, strangers that became memories, confidence I never learned at home, and versions of myself I would’ve never met if I stayed safe.

I may not have everything figured out yet, but I’ve lived. Deeply. Wildly. Internationally.
And honestly? That already makes me rich in life.

I know it’s not a possibility for every woman in the world to do this. Something travel also showed me over and over again.

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 🤍
