I love Lavish Alice so much! Unfortunately, not a single item in my huge wardrobe of their items is a collaboration. I have been loyally buying items from them for over 4 years, and mainly at a discount, on sale or via vinted! I also got this beauty in the sale. Since the weather was going to be nice in Brussels during my layover, I decided to pack it! Never miss a chance to dress nicely, right? :-). By the way, I was finally – for the 6th time in 6 years as a flight attendant – on a layover. So far I have been to Groningen once, Dubai once and Brussels 4 times, including these 3 days.

Hi everyone! After many travel posts finally another outfit post at my trusted place in my hometown. Jeremy, my regular photographer and good friend has been busy so I haven’t been able to shoot many outfits unfortunately. This super cool outfit was sponsored by Meahdore. A Dutch brand new webshop with classy clothing. I really liked this set, and I also wanted to have it. I can also combine the pants with many things. In winter, I can wear this set with a turtleneck top and pantyhose, and in summer as in these posts or with a nice blouse for example. [Lees meer…]

At the beginning of this month, I had my dear cousin’s wedding and his now wife. What a beautiful day! I am so very proud of those two and it was nice to be there with my precious family. Now I have to admit that I have never been to a real wedding in my adult life! My dream is to get married myself one day and I often work as a bridal model, so it is very nice to experience it in real life! Because of the nice reactions to this look, I decided to create an outfit post of this as well! I bought this dress when I was still participating in Miss Netherlands (for Miss World) 2021. I wore it there when I was a judge during the casting while I was still a finalist myself. The dress code was pastel for the wedding, so I pulled this one out again! [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Marrakech

Yesterday afternoon I came back from Marrakech. I was given an amazing opportunity to travel to Marrakech for a week. It was for a special circumstance and to stay there for a very special occasion. I am also very grateful that this came my way. In the near future, there will be a lot of posts online from the trips I’ve made lately. Because outfit posts also take a lot less time and I often have collab deadlines, I often post the outfits first and then the travel posts.

If there’s an outfit I’ve worn a lot in the past 3 years, it’s this classy look. Red is my favorite color and wearing red empowers me. When I wear this outfit, I feel elegant and confident, wearing a good outfit enhances that feeling. This classy look and this dress are timeless, so I expect to wear it often in the future. I once bought it at Diva Catwalk, and I don’t expect to ever get tired of this dress. When I was still participating in Miss Netherlands for Miss World, this dress was one I was often wearing.

Dressing feminine, refined, stylish and elegant makes me feel powerful and confident. I’m wearing the most beautiful white dress from The Pretty Dress Company. I like to show my femininity through beautiful outfits and beautiful dresses. I really like to wear beautiful elegant tight dresses that fall over the knee. Not only that, but I have had a number of collaborations with this great company and I am always very happy when I receive a beautiful, luxurious and good quality dress from them. The designs are timeless and suitable for many occasions. [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone! Another one of my favorite outfits of the moment between the travel posts. This nice red set is super classy and actually nice all year round. It looks like a mini skirt, but it’s actually a pair of pants. As can often be seen in my outfit posts – red is my favorite color. I always feel most confident when I wear red! I am currently booking Japan for about a month and a half from now, so this set will definitely come along! [Lees meer…]

This beautiful white dress is from Diva Catwalk. I love their beautiful, timeless dresses and own countless of them. The great thing about their dresses is that they can be worn for years, and they fit perfectly around the body. I own all dresses in size M and some in S. I think a white dress like this is very suitable for visiting a wedding, business appointment but also if you want to look neat for a daily activity. The accessories of this outfit are from Gucci, except for the earrings and shoes. If you are interested in this dress, the model is called Tessa. [Lees meer…]

It changed my life.

Not because of the beaches, the sunsets, or the endless tacos.

Mexico taught me that life can be bigger than the version I was settling for.

It was the first place that showed me freedom doesn’t come from having everything figured out, it comes from trusting yourself enough to take the next step.

It gave me lifelong friendships, unforgettable adventures, confidence I didn’t know I had, and the courage to build a life that feels like mine.

I arrived as someone looking for a holiday.

I left with a completely different perspective on what was possible.

And honestly?

A part of me never really came back. πŸ‡²πŸ‡½βœ¨

POV: You spent your 20s in beauty competitions.

People see the gowns, the crowns, the photos and the stage.

What they don’t see are the early mornings, the self-doubt, the courage it takes to keep showing up, and the growth that happens long after the spotlight fades.

My twenties taught me that beauty competitions were never really about beauty.

They were about finding my voice.
About learning confidence.
About standing on a stage when I was terrified.
About representing causes I care about.
About inspiring others to embrace who they are.

I had the honor of competing in:

✨ Miss World
✨ Miss Universe
✨ Miss Grand International
✨ Miss Cosmo
✨ Miss International (selected to represent the Netherlands internationally, later cancelled due to COVID)

The titles were never the biggest reward.

The friendships, lessons, resilience, opportunities, and the woman I became along the way will always mean more than any crown ever could.

To the younger version of me who dreamed of standing on those stages: we did it. πŸ’«

Gone (solo) travelling 😜

One day they’ll look for the version of you that was always there.

The version they took for granted.

And by then, you’ll be gone.

What’s the hardest lesson something taught you without meaning to?

Beautiful villa @villa_hunab_ku 🌴

One day I realized:

I wasn’t afraid of being and travelling alone.

I was afraid of losing my life while waiting for someone else.

So I booked the flight. ✈️

What’s something you’ve been waiting for?

Based on facts 🌴✈️ Can you relate?

"What do you like to do for fun?"

Leave the country.

New places, new people, new stories.
Every single time.

At what point does it stop being a hobby and become a personality trait? πŸ˜‚

Mini cut from last weekend in Marbella

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.
