Outfit | Madrid

| Reageer

Hi everyone! This week I went on a trip to Madrid, a place that had been calling me for a long time and was high on my list. I started the trip in Valencia, visiting a nearby village because one of my best travel friends, Mathilde, recently moved there with her boyfriend. The trip was fun, but also challenging. I traveled long distances every day to see everyone, plus because of a friend in South America who I let go of at a film festival (no gatekeeping here, lol) – but despite that, I had a great trip. As a surprise, another friend of mine was in the city, and I met some new, fun people in Madrid. I can’t wait to tell you more about it soon! [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Babel

| Reageer

Hi everyone! 2 weeks ago I had a super nice collaboration with Hotel Babel in Tulum. At this place I was able to make a lot of super nice outfit photos and content. The reason I was already back in Tulum – was because I had 4 weeks off, and was actually going to travel to Guatemala. Due to the festive week around Easter all flights were overbooked – I heard that again afterwards from someone else who wanted to do the same. I had to make a decision within 48 hours to go on a trip, otherwise I would have wasted my entire holiday period. I decided to go to Medellin a 2nd time, and then on to Tulum again. Despite there being only a month between the two times Mexico, I had a great time! [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Louvre

| Reageer

Hi everyone! I bought this bandage dress in 2018, from one of my very first stewardess salaries I remember. I always wanted a dress that reminded me of Margot Robbie’s blue dress in The Wolf of Wall Street, and I thought this one came close at the time. By the way, I don’t have any pictures of the back, but the back is a corset. The store where I bought it is unfortunately bankrupt. I have to admit that it is not a dress that you can wear comfortably all day.

Turkey travel diary | 4 day family visit in Istanbul

| Reageer

Hi everyone! In July I visited my youngest aunt in Istanbul for about 4 days. As some of you may not know, I am 75% Dutch and 25% Turkish from my father’s side. Unfortunately I don’t speak the language, but we always try to find our way with some German or Google Translate. A large part of my family (my father’s side) is Turkish (originally from the Trabzon – Black Sea region, back in the bloodline probably Russian descendants which is quite visible in the appearance within our family) and live in Turkey and Germany. During the trip I didn’t spend a lot of time creating content, and anyway I have always been very conscious in creating content. Sometimes I see friends/others who are so obsessed with creating content or deeply forcing certain photos/content that the entire trip passes them by, it takes up hours and also removes all attention from being in the now. Everyone has their own thing of course, but I think it is a shame when so much time and consciousness is lost in this way. That’s why I only posted everything from this trip afterwards. [Lees meer…]

Indonesia travel diary (extra long) | 3 week solo trip to Bali – part 3 (Ubud)

| Reageer

Hi everyone! This part of my travel diary is extra long, because it contains my entire extensive return journey, but also a lot of photos, because Ubud was the place where I planned most activities and wanted to take photos. What really appeals to me about Ubud, is also the fact that in my experience it is more the ‘authentic’ Bali, without beach and sea – but many rice fields, nature and waterfalls. I am excited to tell you about my experiences here! Will you read along? [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Ibiza

| Reageer

Hi everyone! Last week I had 3 wonderful days in Ibiza. As usual it was not a trip for work, but just a mini vacation trip. In a few days I will finally be in Mexico! This time I have booked an actual ticket instead of a standby ticket. I don’t want to risk not getting on the flight again. This lovely dress is from Zara and funnily enough I spotted it 3x with other women in Ibiza when I was wearing it myself! Super nice in combination with my Gucci marmont super mini bag and low translucent block heels. This series of photos reminds me a bit of my outfit in Split. The best tip I can give you on a summer vacation is to take lots of pictures in the shadow! That’s where the light is often the best for an outfit shoot like this one. The photos were taken in the old town, I will soon tell you about my tips and experiences of Ibiza in a new travel diary. [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Metropol

| Reageer

Hi everyone! After almost 3 years (time flies so fast!), I was once again in Seville for a moment. This was all last minute. I bought this beautiful suit in Faro, where we had landed for the start of our mini road trip. We walked past a boutique and Joelle said the suit behind the window was really my thing, once inside I bought the same suit, but in my favorite color, red. Joelle bought the same suit in a different color, the one behind the window. We had packed summer clothes for Mexico, so had to quickly buy something nice and warmer. The suit is handmade in Italy and was slightly discounted, making it less expensive. Shall I make another outfit shoot of this outfit besides this one? [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Dash

| Reageer

In between all the Alicante and other travel posts, here’s a throwback outfit post from my Zakynthos trip from last September. I got a lot of positive reactions from you ladies about this set, and I collected all the photos I could find from my upcoming travel post and processed them in a separate outfit post. This dreamy set is fantastic for a fun summer trip to an island like Zakynthos, Ibiza, Curaçao, you name it! I think it’s so cute and it’s lovely to wear with high temperatures. By the way, I received a lot of items from my long term collaboration that will soon be on my instagram: By Dash Beauty & Fashion. At the bottom of the post you can find a link to the set and website.
