Happy New Year!

Later than usual, but I wish you all a very Happy New Year! While the most important things in life are of course a good health, safety, financial security, family and friends.... I also hope for some wonderful trips, because I think traveling is not only a lot of fun, but also very enlightening. However, for 2025 I wish most of all for peace around the world....

Happy New Year!

Wishing you all a very Happy and Healthy New Year!
Cheers, Cin cin, Salud, Salute, Santé, Prosit, Gezondheid!
But most of all, I wish for Peace around the world.

Blue Monday 2021

It's Blue Monday! Yes... it's that time of the year again... the third monday in January, supposedly the most depressing day of the year. Well, since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, I'm not so sure that this is actually the most depressing day. We've all had rough times during the past year. I hope from now on things will get better, therefore.... Happy Blue Monday!

The funny thing is, I actually love the color blue. So in case you need cheering up, here's some blue colored fashion and travel inspiration. Hopefully we will be able to travel again very soon. I can't wait to pack my bags and board a plane! Which destinations are on your Post-COVID-19-Travel Bucket List? 

Photos taken in Orvieto, Cartagena de Indias, Reschen, Panama, Capri and The Hague.

Cuter than cute Cartagena

I just got back from an amazing trip to one of my favorite holiday destinations... Cartagena de Indias in Colombia. The colonial architecture, the colourful houses (and doors!), the extremely tasteful interiors, the shops, the music, the food, the cocktails, the sunsets…. it's just incredible! Cuter than cute and pure eye candy!!!

Photos taken at Restaurant Candé, Fenix Beach Cartagena and Gelateria Paradiso.
Stay tuned for more!

What to wear on King's Day?

Orange is definitely not an easy color to wear, but in The Netherlands there's no escape... on King's Night, King's Day (previously Queen's Day) and Liberation Day, everybody dresses up in orange.

The fact that the weather is often cold (rainy and windy) in april and may doesn't help either... So what to wear on King's Day? Here's some "outfit inspiration".

It's really about finding the right shade of orange and dressing it up or down according to the occasion. I think white is a very flattering color to combine with orange, especially white jeans. That's just what I might wear on April 27th.

Happy King's Day Dutchies!
