Two weeks ago, I surprised my good friend Demi in Brussels! Demi lives in Dubai and works for Emirates, so we don’t see each other often. Her friend Robin, who works at the airport, came up with the idea to surprise Demi. He devised a plan where a friend would pretend to take photos of Demi at a spot in Brussels she had always wanted to visit.

I decided to drive to Brussels since it’s only an hour and a half from my place, and I know the city well from work. Demi was completely stunned when I suddenly appeared! We ended up going out together, taking photos, having dinner, and I stayed over at Demi’s place before she flew back the next day.

This dress is from Luxurise, part of a collaboration along with another floral dress. I’ve shared the link to the dress at the end of the post. I’m absolutely loving the cute corset dresses popping up in stores. The heels are my So Kate 10 cm heels from Christian Louboutin, my dream shoes since I was young. When I turned 25 and had just finished Miss Netherlands for Miss World, I bought them. These are one of the few designer pieces I own, as I don’t often buy designer items.

Twee weken geleden heb ik mijn goede vriendin Demi verrast in Brussel! Demi woont in Dubai en werkt voor Emirates, dus we zien elkaar niet vaak. Haar vriend Robin, die op de luchthaven werkt, kwam met het idee om Demi te verrassen. Hij had een plan bedacht waarbij een vriendin zogenaamd foto’s van Demi zou maken op een plek in Brussel waar ze graag heen wilde.

Ik besloot naar Brussel te rijden, want het is maar anderhalf uur van mijn woonplaats, en ik ken de stad al goed door mijn werk. Demi was compleet verbaasd toen ik ineens voor haar stond! We zijn met z’n drieën op pad gegaan, hebben foto’s gemaakt, zijn uit eten geweest en ik ben bij Demi blijven slapen voordat ze de volgende dag terugvloog.

Dit jurkje heb ik gekregen van Luxurise als samenwerking, samen met een andere bloemige jurk. Ik heb de link naar het jurkje onderaan de post gedeeld. Ik ben helemaal weg van de schattige corset dresses die ik in veel winkels zie. De hakken zijn mijn So Kate 10 cm hakken van Christian Louboutin, mijn droomhakken sinds mijn jeugd. Toen ik 25 werd en net klaar was met Miss Nederland voor Miss World, heb ik ze gekocht. Dit is een van de weinige designer pieces die ik heb, want ik koop niet vaak designer items.

Outfit details

Dress: Luxurise 
Heels ‘Kate 100’: Christian Louboutin
Bag: Michael Kors
Sunglasses: Quay Australia
Earrings: Shein

Collaboration note – this cute black dress is sponsored by Luxurise.nl

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. 🤍🌎
