Hi everyone, my last outfit post was a while ago. I have had quite a month. Quarantine, testing, sick family, but also a lot of good news, fortunately. I like to keep that positivity in these times. I’ve had a lot of Miss World shoots recently and some new Miss World behind the scenes posts are coming online on my blog. Also have a number of flights on my schedule! Last week I made my longest flying day ever, seemed a bit like a “tour de Europe”. Eindhoven-Paris-Paphos-Amsterdam-Taxi Eindhoven. Did an Alicante flight this week and another 2 days later. Every flight feels like a moment of happiness. [Lees meer…]

This has been my favorite winter outfit during the past few months, so I created a super tiny outfit post. The dress is nice and loose, and with dark tights (tights that are more beautiful than in this photo though, haha), I think it’s a nice all black outfit. I think I can’t even count how many times I’ve been wearing this haha. I bought this dress in 3 colors already, and bought it at Jurkjes.com. I wear the same model in outfit Blue and Elise.

This beautiful suit was on my wishlist for months. I decided to style the suit almost the same as my outfit post: Suit. I also spot it often on the Instagram page of Given. The pieces of this suit are truly a few of the most amazing items I have in my collection. The color is gorgeous and one of my favorites. I recieved the snake necklace as a gift from my sister for Christmas. I think this suit is fantastic if I want to go out in style/representative, or just want to dress up business like. [Lees meer…]

I wear this outfit really much lately. I can wear it in a variety of ways. The gorgeous belt completes this outfit for me, but a belt makes the the dress appear shorter than it is. I like wearing it for having a drink with friends, party, clubbing, lunch or blogger event. Without the belt and with a pair of elegant high heels, I would wear it for a (fancy) dinner.ย Anyways, this is one of my favorite outfits during this autumn/winter. I always wear lots of colors as you may have noticed, but an all black outfit like this is never wrong – love it! [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone! It has been a while since I last posted an outfit.
The weather is great this weekend in the Netherlands, spring is finally here!
A week after the Amsterdam fashion week, I bought this bag of Given in sale. The bag itself includes a card holder and mini wallet that comes with it as a bonus. I like it very much and I can wear it as a clutch as well. This is an outfit I have loved wearing last year and still like wearing today, but now together with the bag. Almost all of this is from Primark. [Lees meer…]

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 collectionย 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.

Iโ€™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…]

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 doesnโ€™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 didnโ€™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. ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝโœจ

POV: You spent your 20s in beauty competitions.

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

What they donโ€™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:

โœจ Miss World
โœจ Miss Universe
โœจ Miss Grand International
โœจ Miss Cosmo
โœจ 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. ๐Ÿ’ซ

Gone (solo) travelling ๐Ÿ˜œ

One day theyโ€™ll look for the version of you that was always there.

The version they took for granted.

And by then, youโ€™ll be gone.

Whatโ€™s the hardest lesson something taught you without meaning to?

Beautiful villa @villa_hunab_ku ๐ŸŒด

One day I realized:

I wasnโ€™t afraid of being and travelling alone.

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

So I booked the flight. โœˆ๏ธ

Whatโ€™s something youโ€™ve been waiting for?

Based on facts ๐ŸŒดโœˆ๏ธ 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? ๐Ÿ˜‚
