Women in suits?

The female business suit... hate it?
But don't know what to do about it?

Spice it up with a nice pair of boots or high heels!
Add a touch of (bright) colour!
Play with the fabrics! Use fabrics that initally were not meant for daytime, like silk, velvet or brocade.
Also, accessories can really make a difference between an average or boring outfit and standing out in the crowd.

Note: from a business point of view it really helps when people remember you, especially at job interviews, big trade shows, network receptions, etc.
Here are some ladies "in the know" who caught my eye.

The Steak Club, The Netherlands

The Steak Club, in the harbour of Scheveningen, is located on the first floor of The Harbour Club and has been an instant hit! They call it "not your daddy's steakhouse"..... since this is the (much) sexier version.

The meat is available in various sizes and you can even choose its origin, either from The Netherlands (MRIJ), The USA or New Zealand. The Steak Club also serves dry aged meat and other specialties, you can't get anywhere else.

With its great view, roof top terrace & cool interior....it's one of my favourite restaurants.
Ps. The wine list, yummie desserts (like New York Style cheesecake) & the DJ on weekend nights make it the hottest place in town!

Bye Bye Beach... Bye Bye Summer

Bye Bye Beach.... Bye Bye Summer... can't wait to see you next year!

Lovely wrap around jewelry

I love these bracelets and necklaces of 2M-brace!!!

The necklace can also be worn as a belt, which makes it a really special accessory.

This Dutch brand was initially called M brace-let I believe.

Worn by celebrities like Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton, it's probably going to be a big hit!

The smell of summer...

Summer may (almost) be over.... but you can keep the smell of summer in your house, by simply lighting a MEMO candle! This Parisian brand has lovely candles with exotic names such as "Take me to Saint Barth", "Ibiza Buzz" and "Sexy Saint Tropez". My favourite is the "Ibiza Buzz"! After only half an hour the whole house smells like fresh figs on a sultry summer evening.

Not only do these candles smell wonderful, they also look gorgeous. It's the perfect present for those friends who have it all. Or just a nice treat for yourself to get rid of those after-holiday-blues!
Each candle has a burning time of approximately 34 hours. Also available: gift boxes of 3 small scented candles that burn approximately 12 hours each.

Other candles that smell like luxurious holiday destinations are: Back to Dubai, High in Hawai, Kinky Kyoto, Los Angeles Angel, Lost in Mykonos, Mad about Gstaad and so on.

Besides scented candles, MEMO offers fragrances, a bath line and scented sprays and sachets for your house as well. Not satisfied with off-the-shelf products? Now you can even create your own scent - under the guidance of a professional - at MEMO!!!

For weddings, christenings, birthdays, housewarming parties and other special occasions, MEMO offers personalized gifts (like candles with the name of the bride and groom).
