Hi everyone. I wanted to take pictures of this beautiful outfit before the holidays, but unfortunately the winter paradise in the city was canceled around Christmas. This gorgeous 20’s style hollywood dress from Diva Catwalk is a wonderful addition to my collection of classy dresses and black dresses. I also wore it for Christmas. Even though we were in lockdown during the holidays, I still wanted to dress nicely. That’s what the holidays are for, right? (and in my case, all outdoor activities). Although I am not going to lie that I was not recognizable during christmas breakfast in comparison to this selection of photos, haha. For those who asked: Of course I do the makeup for my blog outfits all by myself. [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone, it’s been a while since I posted an outfit on my blog. Other things have had priority and I don’t make outfit posts (anymore) of most of my collaborations. But i’ll still post outfits on my blog every now and then. Outfits that I really want to make a large post of, with or without sponsored items, will still be online. I selected this dress during one of my NA-KD collaborations. The fabric is very thick and ideal for the winter, I think you can get away with it very well with a white sneaker. My best friend Jeremy has also had more room to shoot lately, that’s been months and my regular blog outfits are taken pictures of by a handful of different people, including Jeremy. Note: there is a light filter over my photos, to make the photos/me stand out a little better. [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Alicante

Hi everyone, this was my first outfit in Alicante. Recieved a lot of positive reactions, so time to list all the details here. I ordered the skirt and the blouse almost a year ago, and only now made an outfit post out of them despite I often wear them both with a different combination. The weather in Alicante was still well around 25 degrees when I was there with a friend, so totally great! I really like the neutral colors of the outfit, also because autumn is here. It’s a 70’s look in 2021 style. By the way, this skirt has a nice sparkle and I also wear it a lot during autumn/winter with over-the-knee boots and a turtle neck top. The blouse is made of a satin-look fabric and also very beautiful with black trousers and high heels. By the way, where I am here in Alicante is a surprising place. When we started wandering around the city without a plan, we soon arrived at a very old neighborhood, which is also where the place where I am standing in the pictures is located. [Lees meer…]

Hellooooo, welcome back to my blog, or welcome if you’re new! To get straight to the point; I think I haven’t worn this dress for an hour in the heat of Zakynthos. I had to take pictures of this cool outfit. I’ve had this dress hanging at home for at least one or a one and a half years, and I really wanted to photograph it on vacation. All outfits on my blog are also complete outfits that I actually wear and have worn on a trip. But I wore this purely for the photo because I no longer had the opportunity on vacation to wear it for dinner. I did intend to wear it when Iris and I went out to dinner, so I would honestly wear it too! But I didn’t have the chance because of our busy schedule in Greece. We didn’t come back to the hotel in between to change. So it was on and off with this nice outfit unfortunately. And oh, there are a lot of Zakynthos posts coming up! And the Dubai post is still on its way, haha! I’m excited to take you with me on the rest of my 4-day Zakynthos adventure. [Lees meer…]

As you may have seen in a lot of my blog posts, I love wearing suits. I bought a lot of things with discount at the time at a luxury fashion web shop that I have loved for a long time already. Great deal I thought! Lots of clothes that are normally very expensive, for a lot less. I had to pay 105 euros import charges eventually due to Brexit. Painful, but luckily everything fits and looks great, so I accepted it. This great suit has a “corset look” which I think is super cool. I bought all these cool clothes for Miss World workshops, in addition to the dresses that they gave us ourselves. It is also wonderful that we can “go” outside again with this fantastic weather! Time to shoot a lot and move outside again. [Lees meer…]

Yesterday I went to take pictures in Amsterdam with Laura, a friend within my Miss World Netherlands group. We had planned this together for a long time! It was great fun together! CafΓ©’s and Restaurants are still closed, but there is still a lot of life and things to do in Amsterdam. Amsterdam is less than a 45-50 minute drive for me from Den Bosch, so in principle I am there pretty quickly. By the way, I am here on the dam, which is normally very crowded. [Lees meer…]

Suit number 8… a red one couldn’t stay away haha considering it’s my favorite color! By the way, this look is really affordable for the girls who are looking for a nice business look for less – If we do not count the accessories (sunglasses, bag, watch) besides that. The body is from Primark and this two piece suit from Shein. The heels are from sale at Zalando. After a long time of not shooting, I have captured this outfit with Sandra yesterday. It has been a while since I made an outfit posts. What do you think of my food and lifestyle posts that have replaced them recently? In my opinion, I think it’s great fun to create and I will certainly continue with it! Anyways, if I’m lucky, a new travel diary will be online soon! [Lees meer…]

I bought this lovely dress at Vero Moda a while ago and I have been living in it lately. I like such a breezy maxi dress because you are ready in one go in terms of outfit and it feels great to wear. How are you? Tomorrow I am going to fly again, super excited! So grateful to be able to fly again during these crazy times! [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone! How are you? I am doing well because it looks like I can do what makes me very happy again soon – my job as a Stewardess! CafΓ©’s and restaurants will also open next week, so I have already made a few reservations. Saturday I will order take-out lunch from Frenchie CafΓ© with two colleagues. This outfit is over a year old, but I just recently made a post of it, because a lot of people wanted to know where I bought the items. In this post – week diary I had posted pictures of it before. These cool sunglasses are new and I bought this as a present for myself this month. My sister has the same pair of sunglasses, but in a slightly different model. I have this nice dress in my favorite color in 2 other colors, in both outfit Noir (of which I have more posts) and Seville I wear the others. [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˜‚

Embracing Authenticity | Defending Truth on my Miss World (Netherlands) journey in 2021, my core values and mission

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.
