Hi everyone! Between all the travel diaries, an outfit post, and a collaboration. These photos were retaken with my brand new camera, which I’m so happy with and will always take with me from now on.

A tribute to timeless elegance: my favorite dress from The Pretty Dress Company. Hi everyone! If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve probably seen my collaborations with The Pretty Dress Company. And honestly, I keep coming back to them for a reason. Their designs are the definition of timeless – the kind of pieces you’ll treasure in your wardrobe for years.

Hi everyone! This is the first time in 9 years of blogging that I’ve made an outfit post with selfies, haha! I love this outfit and this location (Meteora – the boutique hostel I work with) so much that I took mirror pictures of it because I didn’t really have a good opportunity to take pictures of it outside or for someone else to take them to have it made. Funnily enough, this beautiful dress is from Shein! In combination with accessories from Asos. Both the jewelry and shoes. I love this look and have worn it several times in Mexico – the dress also went with me to Thailand last year. I notice that I want to buy less and less and want to combine more and style differently – and that is why there will be more ‘double’ outfit posts. I sometimes get nice items sponsored + I am grateful to have saved up so much clothing that I want to be much more frugal with it and increasingly prefer to focus on clothing that I can wear for a long time. I like clothes that remain nice for years rather than items that quickly go ‘out of fashion’ – although I always like to follow my own style without necessarily going along with what is a big trend.I think this chic boho look is a look that I like to wear to parties or dinners in Tulum. I think red and gold is a very nice combination. [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! Café’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 Café 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…]

This cute summerdress is from jurkjes.com. Red is my favorite color, so how nice is it to have a super nice new summer dress in this color. It is super comfy and really lovely during the warmer days. At the bottom of this post you can find the link to the dress. [Lees meer…]

This super cute dress was sold out quickly, so when it was back in stock again I ordered it right away. I have like a hundred dresses in my closet so to speak, so I repeat a lot of similar looks, but then a bit differently. Nice for the sunny weather of the past days and the season coming up.

Since this year, I have many prints in my closet! I don’t do it on purpose but with all those prints everywhere I find a new cute dress every time. Even when I went to Mallorca last week, I really had a lot of prints in my suitcase, haha. What I like about this beautiful dress is that in addition to red it also has pink in the print which gives it that extra touch. I think it’s a nice dress for the end of the summer. This dress is also brand new in my closet. [Lees meer…]

My solo trip to Porto was AMAZING. I met so many great people and had lots of fun. I took so many pictures that I would like to share with you all to give an impression of this great city. Can’t wait to post more on my blog and social media about it together with all of my great experiences. The amazing people I met and I already talked about going back for the big São João event in Porto next year haha – I arrived one day after it. [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. 🇲🇽✨

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. 💫

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? 😂

Mini cut from last weekend in Marbella

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.

Nevertheless, I want to […]
