OUTFIT: downtown Vancouver.
Admittedly, this is not the warmest look ever, but in my mind I was already laying out on the beach with 28°C and lots of palm trees, instead of the freezing temperatures in Downtown Vancouver!
New Year’s Eve in Vancouver.
After 3 days away from the laptop, I thought I'd kick off the new week with a few impressions of what I've been up to. A week ago, I left for Vancouver. My 3rd time in Vancouver. However, due to the fact that Mike has family that live on the outskirts of the city, we've usually just spent lots of time with them, rather than exploring downtown Vancouver. This time around, we wanted to do things a bit differently...
my top 10 travel moments of 2015.
2015 has been one of the most exciting years of my life so far and I have learned a lot. I think one of the most striking learnings of the year has been "you can't have it all". I have never been great at saying no, and when you're self-employed, it becomes that much harder to pass up on certain opportunities. Especially because I love what I do and I love the brands I work with. However, I have noticed my energy fading towards the end of the year and think for my own sake, I need to...
OUTFIT: black shopper tote
Recently, I've noticed that my Neverfull hasn't really worked with some of my oufits - I just felt like the monogram print was a bit too much. I've been searching for a sleeker alternative for a while, especially for the office and traveling. I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that the much coveted Mansur Gavriel black shopper tote (with the prettiest nude / blush lining) was back in stock at Farfetch just before Christmas. 3, 2, 1, miiiiine ♥
OUTFIT: NYE + the day after
A new year always brings so much motivation, resolutions for the New Year and wonderful memories of a past year. No matter if you have a romantic date with a special kiss at midnight planned, a girl’s night with champagne and confetti or an elegant dinner party with friends – there are plenty of reasons to get dressed up, right? After all, we want to kick-off the New Year in style!
BEAUTY TALK: red lips for NYE.
Red is certainly not a color that you'd associate with me and my style. I rarely wear red (except one time last Summer) and usually prefer more muted shades for my lips. New Year's Eve, however, is all about that midnight kiss, and even though red lips certainly aren't the most convenient thing when it comes to kissing, I think that December 31st is the one day a year that red lips should be on everyone's agenda...
CRAVINGS: my maui wishlist.
It was always my intention to take a few days off around Christmas. I purposely turned the ringer on my phone to silent and had planned to leave my laptop shut for a while.
Hotel Review: Soho House Berlin
“eat, drink, nap“ The Soho House Berlin literally had me at “Hello!”. Being the interior junkie that I am, the hotel had won in my books even before I spent a single night here.
OUTFIT: Winter in the city.
Dressing the part during Winter doesn't always have to mean tons of layers and looking like a walking fluff ball. Finding great (and stylish) Winter boots has always been somewhat of a struggle for me in the past, but looks like this year I finally managed to do so. Add a hat, black faux fur jacket, a warm turtleneck and pretty earrings, and you're all set for Winter in the city...
