Amsterdam
With blog reader Susan in Amsterdam
A different post this week than usual as I was pretty ill. No opportunity to do an outfit photo shoot. It probably started with a virus three weeks ago and I thought it had gone so ventured out again, only to pick up another virus. Or, the one that I already had, got...
Wide cream trousers and Shopping Saturday
All my friends are dear to me and my heart is capable of loving them all equally. When you make a new friend, it doesn't take any love away from your old friends, your heart just expands. It is such a magnificent phenomenon. You are about to see many photos of my day...
Monochrome cream outfit
Sometimes I devise an outfit to purposely avoid bright colours, such as the styling of this monochrome cream outfit. It appeals to me because of its sophisticated vibe. Couldn't resist to throw in the bright green earrings though. The green/purple/yellow scarf around...
A polka dot dress with trousers
Apologies for the bad quality of the photos in this post. I wasn't planning on using them, but decided to do so anyway. The quality is also bad because of the recent iPhone update. The 'improvement' Apple made, was to switch photos from JPG format to HEIC format. And...
Kenzo top with blue trousers
On a little tour through Amsterdam I wore my Kenzo top with blue trousers and very comfortable golden sandals. The top has been in my wardrobe for many years but I used to wear it only with a jacket because the sleeves are quite short and my upper arms very wrinkly....
Jeans dress with a printed top
The idea of wearing this Sportmax jeans dress with a printed top came from an advertisement by couturier Mart Visser. The printed top is his design and he advertised it with a jeans dress. Such a dress was already in my wardrobe for years (original post and post where...
Black and white blazer Mart Visser
Sometimes you get lucky, like with this black and white blazer by Mart Visser. For those who don't know, Mart Visser is a well-known couturier from the Netherlands with a side collection of ready-to-wear. My Instagram friend Janna of @timelessstyle.nl and I visited a...
Blue and white top with yellow trousers in Amsterdam
From the minute I spotted this blue and white top in March 2020, I loved it and it hasn't disappointed me since. It is from Essentiel Antwerp, as is the silver belt. You have seen it before in this post with white trousers and silver high heels and in this post with...
Long green linen coat, worn as a jacket
Bicycles, a bridge, canals, old houses...that's Amsterdam for you. The outfit of the week is a long green linen coat, which I am wearing as a jacket. Apparently I am going through a phase of wearing coats and dresses as a jacket. (It might not look green to you but...
Wearing a dress as a jacket
Wearing a dress as a jacket is ever so easy with a button-down dress. Unbutton it, wear a block of colour underneath and you're done. This Sportmax dress has been in my wardrobe for many years, it appeared in this post in Paris and in this post, styling a sleeveless...
Walking through Amsterdam in a wide green trench coat
They say "Paris is always a good idea" and I agree, but I think the same applies to Amsterdam. I decided to wear my new wide green trench coat from kpa.haarlem, when I went to Amsterdam two weeks ago with my friend Helena. The trench coat is part of my husband's...
Red and cream shirt on cream trousers
Kitty, my usual photographer, was really busy so I pleaded pretty please to husband Ron to photograph my new red and cream shirt. He was kind enough to take these photos in Amsterdam, in Wertheim Park. Below: The entrance of Wertheim Park. Aren't these lamp holders...
