Outfit | Rome

22/07/2025 | Reageer

Hi everyone. This outfit post is extra special to me, because it was taken at the fourth world wonder I’ve checked off my list: the Colosseum in Rome. A place that radiates power, history, and beauty. I feel incredibly grateful to have visited four world wonders in just three years – something only a small part of the world’s population ever experiences. And that makes me pause and truly appreciate it.

This trip wasn’t planned at all. It happened thanks to a lovely surprise: my dear friend Aline from Brazil happened to be in Italy and asked if I could come visit. It fell right into my part-time schedule, and with my crew tickets I was able to fly over to see her. We spent some beautiful days together, and I’ll be sharing a separate travel diary from that soon.

Now let’s talk about this dress. It’s from Diva Catwalk, a brand I’ve collaborated with before and absolutely love. Their pieces are feminine, flattering, and timeless – and this black dress is no exception. I receive compliments every time I wear it, and honestly? I don’t think I’ll ever let it go. It’s one of those versatile classics that you can style in endless ways, and it’s always elegant and flattering.

Lately my body has naturally changed a bit, and I’ve started to prefer looser fits. But this dress? This one stays. Always.

Hi allemaal. Deze outfit post is voor mij extra bijzonder, omdat hij is gemaakt bij het vierde wereldwonder dat ik inmiddels heb mogen afvinken: het Colosseum in Rome. Een plek die niet alleen tot de verbeelding spreekt, maar ook symbool staat voor kracht, geschiedenis en schoonheid. Het voelt als een enorme zegen om in slechts drie jaar tijd al vier wereldwonderen te hebben bezocht – iets wat maar voor een klein deel van de wereldbevolking is weggelegd. Dat besef maakt me intens dankbaar.

Deze reis was trouwens niet gepland, maar ontstond spontaan door iets bijzonders: mijn lieve vriendin Aline uit Brazilië was toevallig in Italië en vroeg of ik langs kon komen. Toevallig viel het precies in mijn deeltijdrooster, en dankzij mijn crew tickets kon ik haar gemakkelijk opzoeken. We brachten samen een paar heerlijke dagen door in Italië – binnenkort deel ik daar een aparte travel diary van.

De jurk die ik hier draag wil ik ook nog even in het zonnetje zetten. Hij is van Diva Catwalk, een merk waar ik vaker mee heb samengewerkt en dat bekendstaat om hun vrouwelijke, tijdloze designs. Deze zwarte jurk is zonder twijfel een van mijn favoriete items uit mijn kast. Ik krijg er telkens complimenten over, en eerlijk gezegd: ik denk niet dat ik hem ooit nog wegdoe. Het is zo’n klassieker die je op ontelbaar veel manieren kunt combineren – en daarbij ook nog eens prachtig afkleedt.

Ik merk dat mijn lichaam de laatste tijd op een natuurlijke manier veranderd is, wat me heeft doen inzien dat ik me prettiger voel in iets lossere silhouetten. Maar deze jurk? Die blijft. Altijd.

One decision changed the entire direction of my life..

What started as one scary solo trip became a completely different life. 🌍✨

Nine years ago, I had every excuse not to go.

“What if I’m lonely?”
“What if something happens?”
“What if I’m not brave enough?”

Now I’ve explored dozens of countries on my own, met incredible people from all over the world, discovered places I never knew existed, and most importantly… I discovered a version of myself I never would have met if I had stayed home.

Solo travel isn’t about proving you’re independent.

It’s about realizing you’re capable of so much more than you ever imagined.

If my journey encourages even one woman to book that flight she’s been dreaming about, then every adventure has been worth it.

Be the reason another woman believes she can do it too. 🤍

✈️ Would you ever travel solo? Tell me where you’d go first.

The best things that ever happened to me started when;

I stopped waiting. 🌍✨

Some of the most beautiful memories of my life began with a table for one.

What’s one place you’ve always wanted to visit on your own? 🤍

Life moves so fast. These photos aren’t for algorithms - they’re little pieces of a life I never want to forget. If they inspire someone along the way, that’s just a bonus. 🤍✨
