You might have seen this beautiful red dress on my Instagram a few times over the past few months, including a lot of other beautiful dresses from the brand Diva Catwalk. I always get a lot of positive reactions to the beautiful dresses I wear from them. They are chic, timeless and feminine. They are suitable for many occasions, but also for business meetings. I got to know this beautiful London based brand last year. The dresses are of a high quality and timeless. The designs are beautiful without being ’too revealing’, but they do know how to accentuate your body in a classy and beautiful way. My collection now includes 9 timeless dresses from Diva catwalk, of which I have 7 from collaborations. The dresses are handmade in England, and of a high quality. This dress is the Fenella model.

Hi everyone! I hope that all of you are enjoying the summer. In two weeks, it’s my 21st birthday! I’m looking forward to it and hope that many friends and family will come along. A lot of people that I know are (going) on a nice holiday this summer. I am very curious about hearing their travel stories at the time they return. What are your plans?  [Lees meer…]

The weather has been great the previous days. It was good enough to wear heels outside and to only wear a thin coat. This long blouse is originally a dress of Missguided, which I like wearing as a blouse and scored in sale a while ago. The blouse also has a beautiful print on the back. By the way, I am going to another beauty workshop next Sunday in Utrecht. I will go together with my friend Mey. Can’t wait to create another blogpost about it!  [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…]

The days are getting colder and colder in the Netherlands. This means: time for warm, fuzzy coats! I was searching for a brown version, and spotted one eventually at the Dutch brand SuperTrash in sale.
In the SuperTrash sale, I also bought a Balmain hair couture cosmetics bag. The cosmetics bag contains 3 hair products. There will be a post about this soon. [Lees meer…]

This is an outfit that I wear often. I think the white teddy coat is lovely, elegant and warm. It is ideal for the colder weather coming up. It’s so fluffy! I love these black tie up heels because are super fierce, are quite comfortable (for a pair of heels) and really fit in the ‘gladiator/tie up’ trend lately. [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? 🤍

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

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.

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 […]
