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. 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 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.

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…]

One decision changed the entire direction of my life..

What started as one scary solo trip became a completely different life. 🌍✨

Nine years ago, I had every excuse not to go.

“What if I’m lonely?”
“What if something happens?”
“What if I’m not brave enough?”

Now I’ve explored dozens of countries on my own, met incredible people from all over the world, discovered places I never knew existed, and most importantly… I discovered a version of myself I never would have met if I had stayed home.

Solo travel isn’t about proving you’re independent.

It’s about realizing you’re capable of so much more than you ever imagined.

If my journey encourages even one woman to book that flight she’s been dreaming about, then every adventure has been worth it.

Be the reason another woman believes she can do it too. 🤍

✈️ Would you ever travel solo? Tell me where you’d go first.

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? 🤍

Life moves so fast. These photos aren’t for algorithms - they’re little pieces of a life I never want to forget. If they inspire someone along the way, that’s just a bonus. 🤍✨

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

What’s one thing you’ve been told you’re “too much” for? 👇

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

The truths and misconceptions about me and my participation in the pageant and standing up for my personal narrative and story. – Celebrate Your Authenticity: My Core Value, Standing up against Bullying, and Self-empowerment. “I signed a contract that does not allow me to be completely open about my experiences with ‘MWNL’. Nevertheless, I want to […]
