What to wear in September?

Drizzly weather... sunshine, cold windy mornings... suffocating afternoons. The weather has been completely crazy these past few weeks. We have had days during which temperatures rose to a tropical 31 degrees. Not our typical Dutch weather.. However we have also had rain and thunder, something that somehow always seems to follow up warm summery days. 

Every morning the big question is: what to wear today? I find it quite difficult to dress up for these weird days. In the morning a jacket or sweater is needed, yet in the afternoon, at the end of the day, all you really need is a bikini. Since that is not really an option I prefer linen joggers, sneakers and a sweater with a plain tee underneath. What do you wear when the weather is unpredictable like this?

Bye for now! xx

P.S. So much has happened over the past months. I was busy finishing both Masters (and succeeded in doing so, yeah!), I created a book about the future of retail for my project Glocal Stories, celebrated two weeks of freedom after which I started as Junior PR Consultant at FNKE. Exciting times!!

Sunny Winter Weather

What I was wearing last Thursday. Love these cropped linen trousers, in fact I even bought a second pair because I was afraid that I would never find a replacement (+ they are very nicely priced). I paired them with my newest coat addition, a black one from COS that I bought in Aarhus. Enjoy your weekend, xx

Outfit Recap 2015

Above you can find a recap of all the outfits I posted in 2015, hope to be able to post more frequently this year. I'm so tremendously busy with both masters and work that I find it hard to make time to take photos and obviously I'm also depending on others that are willing to take photos ;-) Still I hope you enjoyed my looks and continue to follow me throughout the months to come. Anyways, thanks for being part of this journey, wish you all the best for the coming year!! 

Hope mine includes even more traveling; in 2015 I visited: Berlin (twice), Paris (twice), Brussels, Kiel, Aarhus (twice), Oslo, Copenhagen, Göteborg + a two week road trip through Scandinavia.

Do you have any plans for 2016? xx

Autumn Sun

Sorry for the lack of updates, I'm really busy lately! Doing two masters while also working parttime turns out to be rather time-consuming ;-) Plus blogging is getting harder because it is getting dark quite early nowadays which makes it hard to take photos. Luckily - after some rainy weeks - we've had some lovely sunny weather these past days so I managed to take some outfit photos for you. xx

Sunny Copenhagen

Here some photos from a short trip to Copenhagen. Would love to go back asap, I always want to spend more time in that lovely city. Maybe I should go there after finishing my studies, what do you think? xx

My favorite looks; love it when I can wear jeans with leather jackets, flats and big scarfs. Welcome autumn and welcome back signature look (I like summer but I never really know what to wear, so I'm glad it is getting colder and I can wear a lot of layers again, don't like the rain though)! xx

Summer in Oslo

Obviously these photos were taken during my holiday two weeks ago, wish it was now though. In the first and second last photo you can see the beautiful Opera House in Oslo. It was a really modern building especially in comparison to its surrounding and therefore it really stood out. Loved the glass windows and the fact that one is able to walk on top of the building where there is an amazing view over the Oslofjord. 

Apart from the Opera House we didn't really like the city centre itself. But the areas around the city centre had some amazing buildings - as photographed - and also more inspiring stores. The harbor area was also pretty nice. We stayed at the Lysebu hotel located in the uphill area called Holmenkollen where you can easily take the metro to the city centre. Have you ever visited Oslo? xx

End of Summer

Tomorrow my new and last year as a student starts, that means summer is officially over. On Friday I came back from a two week road trip through Scandinavia where these photos are taken. Remember my post where I told you that it has been quite some time since I visited the beach, well here is the proof that I finally went again. Of course I had to, now that I have this nice bikini from Lagoen. In my previous post about this bikini you can read more about the brand and their products (here). 

So we took some quick photos to show you the bikini and how it fits. I like that the bottom has a normal size (I mean did you never notice that bikini pants are often size tiny, as in 'where is the fabric?!'). It's great that these bikinis are made for real women and that they are also comfy when you aren't a size zero. What do you think of the anthracite color and model? xx

PS. For those who are also still studying, cheers to another year of being a student!

When in Oslo

At the moment I'm not in Norway anymore, but here some photos from last week. I have to admit that I wasn't that impressed by what I saw of Norway. I guess that if too many people say something is amazing you have certain expectations that are hard to meet. We stayed at the ***** Lysebu Hotel on top of the mountain in the Northern part of Oslo, the view was amazing (you could see both the city center and the entire Oslo fjord).

We of course went to the city center and its surrounding areas. The Opera House was definitely beautiful (I will show you some photos soon) but the areas I liked best are called Uranienborg, Vika and Frogner. The photos above are all taken over there. I loved the huge tall buildings with their charming facades, there were also many good shops in the area (Fillipa K, MS Icon AS, L'Occitane, etc.) Have you ever been to Oslo?
