Outfit | Tribal

21/08/2015 | Reageer

tribal copyright mandy victoria (2)

This tribal blazer is my favorite blazer EVER. I bought it in 2014 and wore it so much that I had to post this on my blog. This outfit is one of my main casual outfits and I wear it to school quite often, for a long time as well. Red is my favorite colour (and dark pink) which is also a reason why I chose this blazer in the colour red. This blazer is also amazing if matched with a leather or black pants, which I also wear it with often. The bracelets really give me 2012 memories because at that time, I was obsessed with bracelets like these!

Photoshoot report – F for fashion 2015: The Wedding, by Bob Mans

20/08/2015 | 1 Reactie

good version

June this year, out of the girls that are a part of the F for fashion show of 2015, I have been chosen out of the group of new models to be one of the two models for the poster/promotional shoot of the Wedding fashion show. This is together with a model that has already been part of one of the previous shows. [Lees meer…]

The day I we took these pictures, was on a hot day, that’s why I chose to wear white on white. Pure white on white is an ideal colour combination for the summer days. The nude colors and gold don’t make the outfit look less ‘soft/plain’. The blouse and pants luckily, did not have a different type of white colour, however, the blouse is very thin which makes it look a little clear. I wear this blouse quite often, I bought it in Lisbon about two months ago. The heels are from Primark and I also wear them to school very often. [Lees meer…]

Co-ord outfits became very popular within a short amount of time over the fashion part of the internet. Lots of style icons and fashion bloggers can be spotted with co-ord outfits. Another reason to love two piece / co-ord outfits is because they are ready to wear and you don’t have to worry about if the parts match.

Black and grey, how I love this combination! This outfit is one of my most worn party outfits during this season. I wear this mostly when I go out or when I visit a party of friends. This grey turtleneck crop top really fits my black split maxi skirt just as it did fit my grey split maxi skirt. To break the ‘simplicity’, I added diamond drop earrings, something that I wear almost every day. This is because it gives an extra hint of glamour to my daily looks. [Lees meer…]

Yeezus outfit, copyright Mandy Victoria (4)

This outfit is an outfit I wore before with a plain black top, then I realized it needed an update and I really wanted to add an extra touch. I added my Yeezus shirt to it, which in my oppinion, gives it a more tough look. The colours black and nude are an combination I repeat alot in my fashion style and outfits. Nude colours make it a little bit ‘softer’ looking. For my make-up and hair, I chose a wet-hair look and natural make-up. [Lees meer…]

Black mesh-dresses are an absolute trend since a while. During online shopping, there is a big offer of mesh dresses. For me, this dress looked very special and catched my eye. I bought this because I didn’t have any black dresses. I decided to add a special one to my fashion collection. This black mesh-dress is a dress that I would wear during fancy parties or cocktail evenings. [Lees meer…]

When I wear this outfit, it reminds me of my trip to Portugal last month. I wore this outfit to the beach back then, but without the Jacket. It was a time where I had alot of fun and felt very happy. If there is a little breeze, the maxi skirt (which is very thin) makes sure you get cooled down during the heat. It is also very comfortable to wear. The maxi skirt (which I bought last year) looks princess-like because it’s long, soft pink and pretty wide. The pastell pink colour finishes it and gives the entire outfit a soft touch. I wear the outfit in combination with a biker jacket, a jacket which I absolutely love wearing. The skirt in combination with the jacket gives the outfit a ‘princess-like yet tough’ impression.

This combination is a combination that is wearable all day if you have an party in the evening but also want to go out in the afternoon and don’t have time to change. The Biker Jacket gives the outfit a more hidden detail so it does not right away look like you are planning to head to a party, while without the jacket, the outfit looks like an champagne-party outfit, especially with the big crystal drop earrings. This outfit is one of my absolute favorites, especially because Grey and Black are an absolute yes if it comes to colours to combine and this outfit makes me feel feminine and glamourous, another fact: The crop top and skirt are from two completely different stores, they are originally not a co-ord set. I have worn this during the Portugal trip of a while ago, also in combination with a black split skirt. [Lees meer…]

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.
