Plus this outfit takes zero time to style and still looks good.So sad that it will be getting colder from now on, I'm definately not the person for it! (Except when sitting inside in a knit sweater, big scarf and leggings + boyfriend within reach, like right now) What's your favorite season when it comes to dressing?pieces jeans leggings - zara sequin blazer - h&m ankle boots - zara white tee - zara suede chain ...

Amsterdam hot spots

Amsterdam hot spotsfood & drinksOften I get the question what the go-to places are when visiting Amsterdam. So I decided it was time to write it down. This is the first part, focussing on places for food and drinks.De Espresso fabriek - Westerpark (Meterhuis)If you ever wake up, feeling like you need to get away from coffee shops and tourists, this is the perfect place. A 10 minute bike ride from Central Station you’ll find the Wester park that brings you a totally different atmosphere. In old gas factory buildings there are café’s, a bakery, a club and a tiny place that makes delicious coffee’s and more: De Espresso fabriek (Espresso factory).Stout...

This chick's got Zara

To a casual dinner I was wearing Zara Zara Zara, except for the jeans.

Biker chique

Let me tell you about the downside of living in a country where you move by bike. It's not all that wardrobe friendly! I was in the middle of the most terrible rain, so my leather jacket is still hanging out to dry. I wore this today but with my new ankle booties. The h&m pink label leggings in the first pic are inspired by motor pants and they are so cool & comfy! A big plus in my book.diy salamander necklace - h&m blazer - h&m pink label leggings - zara tee - mexx boots - zara studded bag...

Answers: part One

Hi! Here are some of the answers to last weeks Q&A! I divided it in to two parts.What are you studying and do you like it?I’m just starting my 3d year of Communications at the University of Amsterdam.

I really like that it suits my job perspectives so well. On the downside, I would love to see some more ‘practice’ experience and a little less research. Do you still live at your parents house in A'dam?No, I live in an apartment with my twin brother, Milan.What is your favorite clothing item?Honestly, I can’t say. I love my black blazer because it’s so easy to wear but other favorites are my biker jackets, sequin blazer...
