Dark green jumper with a light green brooch
As Ron and I were in Amsterdam for the houndstooth blazer on jeans shoot, we also shot this dark green jumper outfit. It is a funny kind of green, almost teal but then again it is not. Turning a corner, we found ourselves in front of restaurant Greetje. My name is...
Green houndstooth blazer with boyfriend jeans
Remember this houndstooth blazer? The first time you saw it on my blog was with a pair of cream trousers. You weren't impressed. At least that was my conclusion from comments on the blog and on Instagram. Perhaps you thought it was too formal? You suggested jeans. Of...
Khaki jumper for winter
Again, the boyfriend jeans. This time with a khaki jumper. You have seen these jeans last week with my sequinned jumper and a couple of weeks ago with my cream jumper. Boring. Sorry, I am a jeans girl and boyfriend jeans are very comfortable in these Covid times....
Sequinned jumper in purple and black
The sequinned jumper I am wearing today is the total opposite of last week's sweater. That is, financially. Both garments that draw attention but contrary to the Dries van Noten sweater of last week, the sequinned jumper cost me only €25. Found it at the brilliant...
Red and white striped jacket and Shopping Saturday
Another Shopping Saturday with my friends Anke and Sabine: such a delightful day. We all look forward to it. As Anke was 38 weeks pregnant, we stayed in Amsterdam so she wouldn't have to travel far. I decided to wear this red and white striped jacket by FRNCH which I...
A pair of bright pink trousers, worn three ways
Being on holiday in my own country means I have more time to do photoshoots with one of "my" photographers. This first (holi)day I went to Amsterdam with Loes and wore bright pink trousers. They are second-hand from Kat & Ko and as you know, I love bright colours....
Black sandals with block heel
Believe it or not, I have a terrible taste in shoes. Even my mother told me as a teenager how old-fashioned my shoe choices were. Which is why I challenge myself and pay attention to shoe fashion. These black sandals with block heel would not be the kind I'd normally...
Shopping in the 9 Streets of Amsterdam with Peggy
Peggy and I used to be colleagues until about 8 years ago. We became friends but don't see each other much as Peggy has a full-time job and three children. More than enough on her plate. This Wednesday however was OUR day. In the sense of sustainability, we went...
Striped cashmere jumper
My BVA friends and I were to meet last weekend but poor Marianne was in bed with a lot of back pain, so we had to postpone. Which also meant: no blog pictures. RON TO THE RESCUE (can you imagine him with a cape, flying through the sky 😆 ?). His offer came the...
The EYE film museum in Amsterdam
"My" two photographers were unavailable, so husband Ron stepped in again. No matter how much he hates it, he is always there to help me. It was cold and after much deliberation, we decided to do the shoot of this yellow jumper on the ferry between Amsterdam Central...
Leather jogging trousers
These leather jogging trousers have been in my wardrobe for a few years now. I don't wear them much, which is a shame really as they make quite an impact and are pretty cool (as long as I cover my butt). Wearing pumps with them creates the image I like most; see the...
High tea at the Amstel Hotel
Yes, I know the title of this blog post is "High tea at the Amstel Hotel". And when you see Marijke and me like this, we don't exactly look like the clientele suitable for the Amstel (5 star) Hotel. They let anybody in these days 😆 Our group of friends, the BVA...
