Hi all! I hope you had (or still are having) a great summer! :-O
Warm days are for polkadot dresses.. and I have so many! So yeah, I had to test out this flirty little summer dress!
Also.. I can't believe that next week, I have to go back to work again! Don't you wish these summers could last a bit longer?
Hope you like the photos of me in the polkadot dress during the warm evenings this year! And yeah, I did also wear sneakers after the photo session. ;-)
I hope everyone is still healthy! ♥
Obviously, I had to do a bit of walking in these matching green stiletto heels! ;-)
Wow, time really flies when my teaching responsibilites eat up so much of it! :-O
My last blog post was in April.. and my last public YouTube video was from March!
It's not that I don't go outdoors while dressed. Everyone who follows my Instagram will definitely know that I do have fun.. but sitting down for a blog and editing videos just takes energy that I don't have most of the time.
These are all photos of last summer.. enjoying Rotterdam in my little black dress.. and I hope you appreciate that rare pic of me wearing my flipflops!
I hope everyone is getting their shots! ♥
I did have footage of this little trip.. so I hope you enjoy the video I posted on YouTube! ;-)
How's everyone doing this weekend? It's March the 14th.. otherwise known (especially to geeks like me) as Pi-Day. :-D
I haven't had many opportunities for outdoor photo-shoot session yet, so here's another throwback to relatively better times.
You all know I love polkadots.. and one of these days, I will make a YouTube video that will showcase my 25+ dresses!
I think the challenge will be to choose the best pair of pumps, sandals or boots for each dress.. perhaps I might even do one or two dresses with sneakers or flip-flops?
As you can see, it was a beautiful summer's day, I actually just finished doing two other outfits first and this polkadot dress would be my outfit for the rest of the afternoon and evening.
I try to be efficient! :-P
Because I was going to have dinner in Rotterdam, I chose to wrap up the look-book session on the Erasmus University campus.
Don't you just love college campuses? They are perfect for photo-shoots.. and the students are too busy to notice you anyway! :-P
It was a great day and with all the sun, I'm sure I got all my Vitamin D. How about you? Do you prefer the summer or the winter?
Most countries seem to have their stuff in order, so let's hope for a great summer! ♥
I posted a new public video on YouTube where I'm walking around the campus! The Patreon video is longer.. so check out Patreon if you want to see that version and also.. support me! ;-)
Ah, the good ol' days! I used to post twice a month and the world wasn't in a crisis!
Now, I try to post on my blog at least once a month together with a public YouTube video. And.. I could freely go outside my house, meet up with friends and go to bars, restaurants, museums and parties.
Things are different for us now in the Netherlands and I'm pretty sure that this probably the case for you as well.
Couple that with my new job in education and me also trying to find a new affordable house in this crazy market.. and it's not a surprised I didn't even post in September. Life is just so busy and whenever I get home, I just crash on the couch!
Anyway, enough complaining. I'm still healthy and this week, I'm enjoying a well-deserved autumn holiday. So I finally have some time to post all the stuff you have been waiting all these weeks to see! (ahem):-P
This outfit was actually my comfy outfit of the day after doing a couple of other outfits (including this outfit with shiny red over-the-knee stiletto heeled boots). I was just wearing my flip-flops and then I just thought.. why not wear this with my peeptoe heels. Sometimes, it's so straightforward! :-D
This is all in the city of Schiedam which is a gorgeous little city just next to Rotterdam. I definitely recommend it for a quick sight-seeing tour.
Just make sure to visit it in the summer and when there is no actual pandemic! ;-)
The numbers are still going up, so please stay healthy and follow the rules! ♥
I posted a new public video on YouTube where I'm walking around in these denim shorts and heels! The Patreon video is longer.. so check out Patreon if you want to see that version and also.. support me! ;-)
Hi y'all!! Well.. no two ways about it, infections are on the up and up. The only positive point is that hospitalisations are still stable. Though, I really wish people would behave more responsibly so that next year, we can all go live our lives like we used to do.
If you're reading this, I really hope you're doing okay! :-)
I think you may have noticed that in the precious few posts (here and on YouTube) my dresses have been on the blue-ish side. So it was time for a different colour (that wasn't black or red either).
What do you think of this green dress? Also, what do you think of my pose as if I were a real-estate agent selling this super large mansion? I would certainly buy this from someone like me! :-P
I also decided to wear another colour for my stiletto heeled sandals. I have these in blue, pink, white and black.. but because of my tan, I chose gold. I think it makes my legs look way longer! :-D
Here's a rare photo of my backside. Usually more prominent in my videos when I'm walking away.. but in photos, I'd like to show my face. Don't know if that's the best decision though! ;-)
Don't get me started on my hair.. I know I badly need a visit to the hair-salon. Or perhaps, cut it really short?
As a last part of my session, I thought I'd stand in the middle of a bicycle path and annoy scooters! ;-)
So yeah, use common sense and stay safe and be healthy! ♥
I posted a new public video on YouTube where I have to get out of the way for an on-coming car! The Patreon video is 6 minutes.. so check out Patreon if you want to see that version and also.. support me! ;-)
So, for our part of the world, the Netherlands and surrounding countries, it seems the lockdown measures will be softened. Hopefully, that means we can all go out and do more than just sit inside.
I do hope that we as society can still behave responsibly so that we continue going in the positive direction. And I know, in these current turbulent times, it's hard to not lose hope. I try to stay positive!! :-)
While I'm waiting for the possibility for me and my friends to go outside and do new photo-shoots, I still have some outdoor and indoor content on my PC.
Last summer, I wore this cute leopard print dress with my (now super favourite) white high heeled pumps from Lost Ink. If I can ever find a new pair from that brand, I will definitely buy them in more colours!
These heels are so comfortable and well-balanced, that doing a one-leg-stand pose was super easy.. so I included two photos of me doing that! ;-)
I have been fortunate during these months. I didn't get sick nor did my loved ones. I didn't lose my job like so many did. I could work from home so I didn't go completely crazy.
My heart goes out to all of you who are suffering. Whether from this pandemic or other crap that's currently setting this world on fire. I hope better times will come soon!
Is it too early to wish for 2021 to come already?! :-D
Again, I hope you're all still hanging in there and doing well! ♥
Yay, I did have plenty of video material of me in this dress and heels.. so I made a new video on YouTube!!!
Hey all! For those who still read blogs during these times (or even during normal times).. I hope you're doing well and that you and your loved ones are healthy!
It's weird to keep on doing certain things while there are whole countries suffering so much more than the Netherlands. At the time of writing, we aren't in a lock-down situation. Perhaps that will change.. as the spread of this virus really depends on whether people behave responsibly and sensibly.
These weeks, I have been staying inside.. only to go out for groceries and work. All healthy employees at our institute are still allowed in the building, so while I'm still healthy.. I will definitely try to make myself useful.
But no outdoor photo and video shoots for the foreseeable future. Therefore, I'm digging through my archives for photos and videos.. and this outfit was one of the first I really wanted to post!
I really love how this dress makes me feel like a Spanish senorita.. and it made me wish that I was back on the Canary Islands. But sadly, this wasn't Gran Canarias, Lanzarote or Barcelona.. this was just Rotterdam. And it was very windy.. and without sun, it was actually quite chilly! :-O
So yeah, while I'm mostly in my PJs on the couch with my laptop.. I do like to close my eyes and just pretend that I'm outdoors.. doing photo and video shoots!
Anyway.. there a lot more important things in the world and I really hope that 2020 will also be the year of many good things, including the swift end of this crisis!
Really, stay safe.. stay inside as much as possible! :-)
Wishing you all lots of love! ♥
I did make a small video.. and like a lot of times in Rotterdam, it is very windy and the microphone does pick it up. Watch those ears! :-P
Yay.. another snowboarding holiday that I survived without any injuries! Actually, because of all the snow that fell during the week.. I got to enjoy some rare epic snowboarding days in the powder under a blue sky.
Snowboarding fans know that there is pretty much no better feeling than snowboarding in fresh untouched powder snow! :-D
When we arrived at our destination in Chatel, it was raining a lot. And the wind was blowing so hard.. an actual storm!
So, I actually had no hopes that we would have great powder days and more importantly.. I also had no hopes of doing an outdoor photo-shoot in a ridiculous short dress!
Fortunately, after the rain and the snow, the sun came out for the last two days. So I got dolled up, asked my friend to take some pics in the freezing cold. Seriously.. even in the sun, it was like minus 2 degrees Celsius (like 28 degrees Fahrenheit). :-O
And before you ask... yes, this is yet another red polka-dot dress I own and never wore until now. This dress was like 10 euros on sale.. and I could not have left it in the store!!
I think this whole photo-shoot took about 30 minutes before my legs, feet and fingers were starting to feel numb. We did a quick video.. and I just ran inside, got changed into my swimming outfit and jumped into the jacuzzi!
I just hope the spring will come soon to the Netherlands.. so I can actually start doing my regular photo-shoots without feeling like popsicle! :-P
Happy Carnaval if you actually celebrate it! ♥
Like I said, I was freezing my buns off.. so my little video consisted just of walking up and down the road before I fled inside! :-P
During these hot summer months (not talking about today specifically.. because, damn.. it's cold today!), I still love thicker dresses. The temperatures still drop quite quickly during the night.. and me being someone who's actually never warm.. I appreciate the comfort of a denim dress. :-)
This dress is also perfect with some tights and boots.. but that will be a different outfit post for autumn or winter. I'm not quite ready for thinking about that!
You all know that I live in the western part of the Netherland.. so it's no surprise that once again, I found myself in Rotterdam. I love going there for the food, the vibrant city life and its many locations for photo and video shoots!
Another detail.. not insignificant.. there are a lot of good roads and streets which make it a dream to walk there in high heels. Especially the stiletto heels.
I think I can just copy-paste some of the text.. because last time I also wrote that I was just sitting here. :-P
It's the best way to show off some legs and heels! :-D
This is me trying to look all innocent and stuff... is it working?
Any fans of denim dresses out there? I know I am! :-D
Have a great Monday.. if that's even possible! ♥
I guess I do most of my high heels walking in Rotterdam! :-)
Wow, what a great few weeks these have been! I'm not exaggerating when I say how much happier I've been with these high temperatures. :-D
I know a lot of people really don't like the heat-wave (so perhaps they're happy with the rain today:-P), but those are the days when I want to get up early and get stuff done!
I'm sure you'll agree that these kind of temperatures ask for cute summer dresses and bare legs! Most of you know that, while I do like tights, stockings and leggings... I prefer to go bare-legged whenever I get the chance!
And while I could've gone for a completely red outfit.. I thought I'd use these off-white platform pumps that I've had for a while now.
What do you think.. are they out of style now? If yes, do you think they will ever come back? I'd hate to have to get rid of these cute heels!
As you can see in the two photos above, I really do love to challenge myself when I'm wearing heels. These balancing acts are something I wouldn't have dared before I started taking dancing lessons!
These pics were taking near the windmill in the always beautiful Schiedam, so of course I had to take pic of me standing on this thing. Do you know what it is?! ;-)
Happy Thursday! ♥
I didn't have that much footage of me in this dress.. but I managed to scrape something together! :-P
