When working on a set with photographers, one can not avoid being snapped every once in a while. An although I hate being surprised by hungry camerists, some pictures turn out to be quite nice! Here ...

I get a lot of questions about where to find Cat Eye sunglasses. Occasionally I come across a specimen or two, but I have to say Asos is by far the best source for these retro shades. Just look at th...
Luisa Bianchin by Alexander Neumann for LOfficiel Paris February 2012
Sometimes I find myself in the situation, where something is just so wrong I need to have it! This is what happened last week, when I was doing some Primark shopping. I spotted this satin leopard jac...
I have been looking for pretty mint green shoes for months. The colour is very much in season, but for some reason I disliked every single pair I came across so far. Either they were too green, too p...
Most of you probably dont know I am actually part Indonesian. I used to be slighty coloured as a child, but I grew up having a very pale skintone. My grandfather was from Indonesia, but unfortunately...
Besides having a cute garden, we also have a tiny roof terrace on the first floor. Which is great at the end of the day, when the sun is going down... gives us an extra hour to enjoy the sunshine. Th...

Over the last few weeks I bought some lovely bright accessories. Today I was wearing them all at once (coincidentally haha) and it just looked so happy-happy together; I had to make some pictures.......
Twice a year, the Autotron in Rosmalen turns into a huge fifties walhalla. Vintage lovers from all over the country gather (and surrounding countries like Germany I might add) to celebrate the 1940s-...
Authentic clothing from the twenties is very hard to come by. And in the rare occasion I do stumble upon a piece that is over 80 years old, it is either black or a bad shape (most of the times; both....
Ok how adorable is this! A tiny little house in a pendant to wear around your neck. The house is made out of paper and is my personal favourite from the label Het Paradijs. Its from a series of uniqu...
Yesterday, we went to visit family. My husbands family as well as mine, since there were birthdays on both sides. I wore my new very yellow Levis 501 for the occasion. These jeans are so inbcredibly ...
I have so much trouble with finding jeans to fit me, its almost ridiculous! The size difference between my torso and hips is just too big (sometimes up to three sizes!) The good thing is, I discovere...
Today I finally found some time to hit the thriftstore again. Since my husband took the car, I went there by bus and the funniest thing happened. I was watching the Esprit ads (with beautiful Gisele)...
The New Look silhouette is my favourite. Its very feminine and fortunately it looks good on me. I believe creating that hourglass figure is the best way to create a fifties look. These days, a huge t...
Today is Queensday, and that means the entire country wille be turned orange! I like the idea of Queensday, celebrating the royal family in a very festive way with all kinds of jolly activities. It i...

Spotted at H&M, this elegant fifties inspired dress. I just love the colour, bodice and the neckline. How great will this dress look on a tanned summer skin! I wonder how you would style thi...
Oh how I love pastels... I have always loved them, but since theyre now in season I can cruise the shops looking for the perfect shades to fit my skintone. Iam quite pale and not all pastels look goo...

For our big party, we rented a huge space in a cultural centre in Utrecht. We love the light in there, and the atmosphere... so when we were looking for a wedding venue; this was the place. We invite...
The best B&B ever! What a romantic house... perfect for a honeymoon! The B&B is based in a huge twenties mansion, with a big red velvet staircase and beautiful decorations everywhere. We were...
A quik-spring-look in between; all shopped at Asos (sale) making the entire outfit cost less than 125 euro! I just love the combination of the bright colours. A modern-day outfit with a hint of sixti...
For a visit to the World Fashion Centre, I had to wear a fashionable outfit (wihtout losing my style... since Im not very much like most Dutch fashionistas.) I wanted to wear killer heels, but unfort...
