Report | Given Fashion at the Amsterdam Fashion Week

30/01/2017 | Reageer

Previous saturday, I went to the Amsterdam Fashion Week for the first time. I was invited by Given to watch their AW17 collection fashionshow with a guest. I really like the clothing of Given! In my opinion they always have beautiful collections. When I was invited to visit the showroom back in September to Meet Miss Netherlands and to recieve a dress, because I won a like & share competition, I already saw a lot of the beautiful clothing besides of already checking them out often on Instagram.

This is the first outfit post of 2017, so I have a lot to tell about the past few weeks and next few weeks. First of all, I booked a mini & budget trip to my best friend in Lanzarote for next month. Later that week, my friend Mey and I went to a movie I was looking forward to for months. [Lees meer…]

Review | Makeup Revolution 12 days of Christmas box

10/01/2017 | Reageer

Make-up Revolution is a well affordable make-up brand with products which score well in the price/quality ratio. They started selling this special edition cosmetics set. The box was for sale for 60 euro’s at Beauty88. I have shown on my snapchat and instagram a while ago, that I own this box for a while.
A lot of people where curious about it. I have not tried the products in the box extensively yet, but I like sharing my opinion about it so far. I like the box itself. I think the bronze details of the box are pretty and fit well with my room. [Lees meer…]

The end of the year is near. I hope 2017 will bring me a whole lot more beautiful things than this year did. My plan for NYE is celebrating it at home with my parents and sister, after that I will go to straight to the cozy café where I come often with my friends. For 2017 I plan a whole lot of new blog posts, reviews, outfits and events. Trust me when I say that there will be a lot of nice new posts on my planning! [Lees meer…]

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…]

(ChatGPT pic) Should I give pageantry one more chance? 👑 As the first Dutch Miss and Flight Attendant in Dutch history ✈️ 

After competing in most of the biggest pageants in The Netherlands, I honestly thought I was done.

Not because I stopped loving the stage…
But because after years of competing, I had seen enough behind the scenes to make me question whether I still belonged there or in this world ;) 

In 2021 I was supposed to represent my country in Japan. Like so many dreams that year, Covid had other plans.

Since then, I’ve experienced incredible highs, heartbreaking disappointments and moments of injustice (😉) that made me wonder if it was finally time to close this chapter.

But something has changed.

As I’m approaching my 30s, pageantry is finally opening its doors to women beyond their early twenties. And perhaps that’s exactly where my story truly begins.

I’m no longer interested in proving that I’m the prettiest woman in the room.

I want to prove that authenticity is powerful.
That resilience is beautiful.
That using your voice matters.

For years my mission has been standing up against bullying and encouraging others to embrace who they truly are. A project I have seen a lot of other pageant queens do afterwards as well ;)

Maybe that’s the crown I was always meant to wear.

So… should I step onto that stage one more time? 👑

Curious about your thoughts on my pageant veteran period!

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? 🤍

One day you’ll realize you were never “too much”. You were just in the wrong place, around the wrong people.

Dutch version below – Hello everyone, I would like to share my truth, vision, and story with all of you, including the beliefs I stand for.
