Outfit | Given

mandyvictoria_given_dress7

I’m adoring the over-the-knee boot trend! A total musthave for the colder days coming up.
I think knee boots like the ones in this post are boots which will be a important piece in each closet for a way longer period. I decided to combine it with my new Given dress, which I won during a Miss Netherlands related Like & Share competition a month ago. Given is an Amsterdam based fashion brand which has been one of the partners of Miss Netherlands. [Lees meer…]

Autumn is coming so soon and I can already see all leaves and fashion looks changing within an small period of days. I can’t believe that wearing this about two weeks ago was way too hot, and at this moment, quite okay but a bit chilly! This bomber jacket is a great piece of my closet. The silver shiny details on the sleeve part are beautiful and the reason why I got myself this one. Also, the dark blue colour is truly fancy. My sister has applied a beautiful new gel nail color with sparkles on my nails, which looks like the galaxy. What do you think of it? So sweet of her! [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Sakura

28/09/2016 | Reageer

mandyvictoria_outfit_sakura5

The print of this long blouse looks like japanese cherry blossom, which is the reason I called this outfit ‘Sakura’. Japanese cherry blossoms are gorgeous, I’d like to see them in real life one day. One of my biggest dreams since I am young is visiting Japan, which I told in one of my earlier posts. What I spot a lot lately on blouses and bomber jackets is floral details like on this one. I like it, what do you think of the trend? I bought the neon orange heels back in 2014 at Primark when neon coloured fashion items where to be spotted on multiple places. And now I spot related items in some magazines. [Lees meer…]

I love this jumpsuit! When I saw it during a day of shopping in Eindhoven a few weeks ago, it took my attention right when I saw it. The color looked so beautiful, I would be really happy to get it! Some things i’d like to share – I graduated last week! Which means I am an International Business Studies graduate from now on. It feels a little bit weird to be off-school and to have to say most of my school friends and people I hang out with goodbye.. But we all have two new diplomas now and nice memories! Let’s welcome a new chapter! [Lees meer…]

Greece Travel Diary | 6 day Rhodes holiday

24/08/2016 | 1 Reactie

One of my best friends – Anne-Sophie and I really wanted to go on a holiday. We were very late with booking something, which made our wish for either Albufeira, Porto or Valencia too hard to book. When we nearly gave up on fixing a trip for this time of the year so late, we saw a last minute trip to Rhodos.  The trip was 6 days in total, which we had 4 to spend in Greece of because 2 were for the flights and things related to it. That same evening, we booked. Together we left to Rhodes from Amsterdam Schiphol airport not much later that month. [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Springs

21/08/2016 | 3 Reacties

I have been to a – in my opinion – very beautiful place at Rhodes island in Greece during my stay, it is called ‘Kalithea springs’. The place has beautiful architecture, a great beachclub and beach place when you end up when you walk through the springs. In my opinion it looked like a little paradise on earth. It is so close to the beautiful sea and has a great atmosphere. [Lees meer…]

This is one of my newest dresses. The color is soft and feminine which fits the floral details. This is the outfit I wore during the last night my friend Anne-Sophie and me were in Rhodos. When we went to a Taverna (where some of the employees spoke Dutch btw) for Greek Diner (close to the hotel) – I decided to put on my new and detailed dress.

Part 2 ✨I’m not scared to admit the things that shaped me — not just the glamorous highlights, but the quiet truths behind the scenes.

From jealousy and gossip that tried to dim my light,
to scars that disqualified me from dreams I once chased.
From assumptions about how I travel,
to the silent strength it takes to stay soft in a harsh world.

No plastic, no shortcuts, no pretending.
Just me — trying, dreaming, healing, glowing.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, underestimated, or just deeply human…
this one’s for you.

(Read the back story) ✨ Vulnerability is not weakness, it’s power in truth.

I’m 28 — and not scared to admit the things that shaped me.
Not the polished version, not the filtered journey — but the real one.

Despite international feedback ranking me top 3 in pageants, I kept getting overlooked. That’s what drained my fire sometimes to keep going. 

If you’ve ever felt like you were doing your best while the world just kept passing you by… this is for you.

Let’s stop pretending.
Let’s be brave enough to say: this is me.
Unfiltered. Still standing. Still trying. Still glowing.

Don’t get me wrong - I LOVE being single. It’s more about wanting something real in a society of a lot of fakeness. 

Let me know if you want a part 2

Share this with someone who needs to feel seen today.

Special story 🌷🇳🇱 My great grandfather who was a fighter in the resistance (Het Verzet) 🕊️

May 4th and 5th in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, May 4th is Remembrance Day, when we pause to honor all Dutch victims of war and the freeing of the country. At 8:00 PM, we observe two minutes of silence in memory of those who lost their lives in World War II and in subsequent conflicts and peacekeeping missions. On May 5th, we celebrate Liberation Day, marking the end of the German occupation in 1945. It’s a time for gratitude, reflection, and appreciation of our freedom. To keep remembering how important this day in history is and how freedom is a human right.

For me, this time holds a deeper, personal meaning. My great-grandfather was a prominent resistance fighter in Den Bosch, whose actions had an impact far beyond the city — he fought for all of the Netherlands. His stories live on in our family, passed down through generations. Among them are letters received at home from Prince Bernhard, acknowledging his dedication and service to our country.

From a young age, my father told me a lot of stories about his heroic actions for the country. 

His courage and love for freedom are a powerful reminder of why we continue to remember — and celebrate.

A feeling of justice is literally in our DNA.
