Blue summer dress at the beach

As I've made it clear time after time in my posts.. I live for sun and high temperatures (even when I'm snowboarding :-P ). So recently, when the sun decided to show its face.. I took an afternoon off from work, threw on a short summer dress (loaned to me by a friend) and went to a beach along the North Sea coast.

I really love the fact that a couple of my friends have the same size in clothing.. instant expansion of my wardrobe! I had this dress for a couple of months.. and I wore it inside the house since it's a very comfy dress. I love the red and white details.. it's not something you see that often. :)

Of course, going to the beach means lots of sand and water. And those things don't mix well with high heels, so this blog-post will feature some rare pics of me *not* wearing heels! :-P

And I must admit, it was quite a nice feeling having the sand and water between my toes.. though it is pain to keep the sand out of the shoes. :-P

Perhaps I should invest in a pair of stylish high heeled wedge sandals. That way, I can still wear heels and not sink away in the sand!

I know the poses in this post are a bit similar.. but I also wanted to show this last one with the wind turbines. Basically to compensate for the picture in the last blog-post with the nuclear power plant. And as a green environmental person, I prefer wind energy to nuclear energy. :) 

I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for the lovely comments you have been leaving on my posts recently! :D

Here's some footage of me in this outfit walking on the beach and balancing on a rock!

It's the long weekend of Pentecost, probably the least-known of holiday weekend in the Netherlands.. but hey.. any 3 day weekend is nice! And it means I have time to post something on my blog, YouTube and Flickr.

So, I've always wanted to go over-the-top with leather and dress up like I belong in an apocalyptic science-fiction movie. For this, you need a setting that kind of gives off that vibe.. and fortunately, there is a place in Belgium.. the city of Doel.

This city is almost completely abandoned with buildings that are half torn down. A really spooky atmosphere! And to top it all off, there are cooling towers of a nuclear power plants for that extra touch!

Anyway, the outfit is relatively simple: leather boots with a stiletto heel, a leather midi skirt, a leather jacket. As a contrast, I added a white top (not leather :-P ).

So.. if there are any movie directors out there who want to hire me for their next SF project, let me know! :D

What do you think? Again, probably not an outfit I would wear at the supermarket or to work. But I will admit, I felt really powerful and awesome in this outfit! 

Until the moment comes that a director or producer will hire me to star in their movie, you will have to do with my own small YouTube video! Enjoy!

Hiya everyone! I try to make this blog at least a weekly thing, but sometimes work/social/sleep gets in the way. However, the end of my deadlines at work are in sight (should be somewhere in June) and then I can take a long break! :)

So, speaking of work (hah.. see what I did there?),.. I work at a number of different locations and offices, but most of those places are very scientific and the vibe is.. dare I say it.. boring in terms of fashion.

If I'd dress up, I might wear dress like this. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I think it's colourful, not boring and still professional. As always, I value your honest and lengthy opinions!

Perhaps it might be a better idea to wear tights.. and shoes with a lower heel than the 5 inches I'm wearing here? ;-)

And if I add glasses, I look like a geeky nerdy scientist! Which of course I am.. no point in denying it. I do think that I can be both a geeky scientist and a fashion lover at the same time, right? :)

I got a few small clips of me in this outfit, so enjoy the video!
