Shopping: Zakynthos Wardrobe

Shopping: Zakynthos Wardrobe

For my trip to Zakynthos next week, I did some last minute shopping. I can not wait to visit this beautiful island, I heard so many good words about it! Of course I had to visit Shopbop , to order from my favorite brands. When I pack, I always like to match and mix different items with each other. When I ordered this skirt from the brand Lost + Wander, I decided to match it with these See by Chloé Sarenza Slides and a simple white top. We booked our holiday a few weeks ago and I already searched on google maps for the best photo spots. I found out that our apartment is blue and the pool chairs are also blue with a striped pattern. So I decided to buy a blue/white bikini to make the matching picture. I am planning so much for our holiday, but I now it will be worth it. For accessories: I love all the bags from Cult Gaia, especially the wooden ones. They make every outfit so summery ! I am planning on…

Feel your Best | Summer workout Routine

Feel your Best | Summer workout Routine

Hi my loves, how is your summer going? Maybe you are enjoying the beach all day, or maybe you are working your ass off to get some savings for the winter? However, I hope you will get some time to chill and relax for a bit. Growing older, I find it harder to get the time to do this. Especially as a blogger, you always have some work to do. I got a lot of questions about my fitness routine on my Instagram lately. It is time to share my favorite work out gear and how I stay fit and healthy during summer.  As many of you know I eat about 80% off the time vegan since last year December. It has a major impact on my body. My hair and nails grow insane, I feel energetic and well – rested. I really want to change this to a 100%, but I am still learning about this lifestyle. I am taking this step by step. My summer workout routine consists off: – Horse riding twice per…

4 Favorite Summer Pieces I wore in july

4 Favorite Summer Pieces I wore in july

Hi loves, New week, New post. Since August ( ahhhhh! ) is already on its way I think it was time to do a little throwback July. During the full moon and eclipse I was really restless and I wasn’t feeling my best. Now, I can not wait for August to make and start the changes in my life that I have to do. I am getting more and more into ‘the law of attraction’ and I am so excited to learn more about our universe and the response of our body. Suddenly everything felt into place when I was reading articles about the changes in a human during full moon. Have you ever been interested in this? And do you believe in the ‘law of attraction’? Since a lot of people are still going on a summer holiday I thought it may be fun to show you guys my favorite piece I got for this summer. White on White This is definitely one of my favorites. If you look closely at my feed you can…

My go to summer outfit | Faithfull the Brand

My go to summer outfit | Faithfull the Brand

Sitting in my room, where it is still 25 degrees, listening to some music. Summer evenings are the best. I love to stay up late and watch the sky full of little stars. Trying to write a blog post during the day is a waste of time, I never have enough inspiration or words to tell you. I just had an argument with someone close to me, we talked a lot, which was needed. Soon after I sit here behind my desk, looking for the right words. Is it weird? Maybe, but always after something hard, I feel so motivated to go and move forward. To start things positive again. It feels like a relieve. When some thing is on your mind, which is hurting you or holding you back from happiness, tell someone. Or the person which is involved in the situation. Although it might hurt the other one. That is though, but it can bring you closer together. Writing has always been one of my passions. From keeping a diary, to writing little…

Wardrobe essential: The white button up blouse

Wardrobe essential: The white button up blouse

For a while now I am focusing more on fashion blogging, then Instagram. I recognized that I missed writing and sharing my thoughts with you guys. Instagram can create a distance between me and you, sharing the ‘perfect’ picture says nothing about me. Oh well, maybe that I am creative then 🙂 . But it is hard for me to tell my story true Instagram, I prefer to write everything down. Focusing on my blog made me realize how much options you have as an entrepreneur. Instagram is a great platform, but it has his boundaries. I want to share more pictures of my daily outfits and style. Sharing the same pictures over and over again on my Instagram won’t help. I also wanted to have to possibility for you to shop my looks easier. So from now on you can find any piece down below in my blog posts ! I find a lot of fashion inspiration online, to see which items are trending. Lately I saw a lot of white tops going around. This summer…

Why putting yourself first is really worth it

Why putting yourself first is really worth it

  Have you ever heard: ‘you have to do it for yourself’, ‘love yourself first, before you can love anyone else’? It may sounds selfish, life is not only about you. But in fact, it is. Putting yourself first is a topic which is often spoken about, but what does it mean to you? Lately some changes in my life made me realize how important it is to go 100% for yourself. No one is going to get you where you want to be. Because you matter, whatever your dreams, goals or situation is. Putting yourself first means taking care of your body, let it rest in time, treat it well. Your body is your souls home. If you want to feel good happy and energized you should listen to it. It can be anything from cancelling night plans so that you will get enough sleep or by just shutting of your computer for an hour. Everything in your life benefits from already these small changes. Also, putting yourself first means loving yourself. By every…

Instagram Likes: Why you shouldn’t care about them

Instagram Likes: Why you shouldn’t care about them

Hey my lovelies, today I wanted to write about an important topic that has been going around lately: getting the likes. (Instagram likes) Since the algorithm was introduced by Instagram big creators saw there engagement going down. After months of complaining I feel like it is finally getting a bit better now. Also, my engagement decreased and it FREAKED me out. I was working so hard, for what?! Instagram! I see girls now, who are just starting Instagram growing like crazy. I wondered for a while… what am I doing wrong? If you are also struggling with this, this blog post may help you out! We all just need to relax a little bit… First we will go a little bit into the details, why do we get so obsessed with likes on social media? Getting a certain amount of likes gives us the feeling that we are  important. People like us ! omg. It would be so weird if we would have a like button in real life haha. If you are insecure about the fact that people like…

Opening up: Life as an ‘influencer’

Opening up: Life as an ‘influencer’

Life as an Influencer, let’s talk. Oh dear, I am so against this word: ‘influencer’. It seems like it is hot now to start an Instagram page, it is even weird when you do not have one. Well, to attract you, I had to use it. I do not want to spread any negativity or hate, of course, but I have been struggling these last couple of days. I have become more and more aware of what is happening around me, or us, as bloggers. Influencer marketing is not taking seriously, well at least not always. Sometimes I feel like all my work is for nothing. I wondered yesterday if I should quit for a while, but why should I quit something I love doing so much? I have never been so confident with myself, as I am now. Blogging really changed so many aspects of my life. And, as you may know, life as an influencer, is not easy. It takes hard work and consistency. I feel like people are starting to forget this. Other people may think:…

A first experience | moving in together | kleding.nl

A first experience | moving in together | kleding.nl

Hey my lovelies. How are you doing? I hope everyone is doing fine. If you are following me on Instagram you probably know that I just moved in together with my boyfriend. It is so much fun and our home is going to look amazing. A home tour will be up soon! I can tell you: decorating and moving takes so much time. But, it is great to wake up every day next to your loved one. It feels like we have been living here for so long already haha. By accident we came in contact with our renter and she told us after only two weeks that she had a home for us! We never expected to get a house so soon, we had only looked for one week. Living in the middle of the city, is always a thing I really wanted. I love being around people and I love to watch the busy shopping street from a distance. It gives me so much life. We moved in 2 weeks ago now. I…
