Daily things… Purse, agenda and espresso. Oh, and a little bit of love.

My gorgeous colleague Anna!

Sushi overdose…

D’Angelo! Performing so incredibly well! Best concert I’ve ever been to!

View from the bridge next to our office, at 6PM. Makes me never wanna leave!

My all time favourite show at Fashion Week: Bas Kosters. Always a party!

Wanted to let you know my latest photo diary is online at NSMBL, which includes a lot of Amsterdam Fashion Week pictures! You can see all pictures here! These are just a few. Also, I went to an amazing D’Angelo concert yesterday and truely had the time of my life. Couldn’t be happier! Just bought a ticket for his concert next week as wel… And to Raphael Saadiq, who’s coming to Amsterdam in March. Off to Barcelona tomorrow morning! :-)

If you’re incorporating bows into your outfit, why not double? Got in this navy blue dress, of which I kinda felt it was missing something around the waist, so added my oversized leopard bow belt which definitely makes it pop. Oh, how I can never get over some good old leopard…

Have you checked out my latest Visual Diary at NSMBL yet? You can find all recent ‘daily life’ pictures here! I baked my first ever pie… And it couldn’t even turn out better. If I may say so myself.

God it’s been getting cold! Even though I simply can’t stop thinking of Summer clothes already… Just got in this striped blouse, which will just be perfect for next season! It has a loose fit, so you can tie it up nicely and the fabric is pretty silk-like. At a cost of only €10! Definite steal.

So, yes, I cycled my ass to Monki exclusively for their sale department. What did I end up buying? The collection that just hit the stores. Do you also end up like that too often?

As some of you already know, the newest film by David Fincher – known of Fight Club and Se7en – is coming up in the Dutch cinema’s at the 19th of January. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo will be the first chapter of Stieg Larsson’s literary masterpiece The Millennium Trilogy, with leading roles by Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara and Dutch actor Yorick van Wageningen. After having seen the original series on TV last month, I’m very curious about this large-scale film! I’ll be seeing the premiere Thursday next week and will immediately let you know my opinion about it. Will you be off to the cinema when it hits the screen? Oh, and if you want to get in the mood already: besides watching the trailer you can also listen to this playlist on Spotify.

Update: Can’t go unfortunately… Elle Style Awards are the same night. Too bad!

Arrival at night… When Paris is the most beautiful

Our mood for the entire week ;-)

Got back today from a week of Paris, had an incredible amount of fun! Did you enjoy New Year’s Eve? Happy 2012!

Last November Anna and I met up with Yvan Rodic while he was in Amsterdam, here are a couple of the pictures he took from us. See his entire visual diary here. Two long and fun days that was!

On another note, I’m off to Paris now! Will be there for the next week, to celebrate New Year with my dearest Camie!

Merry Christmas to all of you! Hope you’re having a wonderful time with your family and friends! What are your plans these days?

What a great contest this has been! After five weeks, I may finally let you know who the winner is of this contest in collaboration with CosmoGIRL… The right spot where the shoes were ‘hidden’ were the stairs of the city hall in Utrecht, and the girl who guessed this first was Anne van Asseldonk! Congrats Anne, you’ve won a full, free year of Nelly Shoes! What more can a girl wish for?

The Honor Pre-Fall 2012 collection is entirely copied from other lines, from Zara to Miu Miu, but I have to admit I wouldn’t mind owning all of this! God damn good. What do you think? Would the fact it’s copied make you refuse to wear it or don’t you mind at all?

Excuse me for not being too inspiring lately, all my creative effort is being put into NSMBL! Finally got around wearing my Topshop black glitter boots… It somehow took me a while to put them on, and now I can’t seem to take them off anymore.

The very last Nelly Shoes hint is up! Here it is: “Burgemeester Wolfsen zorgt er op de treden van zijn werkplek voor dat er goed op deze Nelly-treasure wordt gelet!” Are things more clear now? Hope so! Please send your answer about the exact location to this page.

I’m not a girl that’s into greens and blues, but these pictures definitely inspire me to do so. Maybe not the warmest color for Winter though?

Also, the before last hint regarding the Nelly contest: “Wie deze pump weet te vinden, is in ieder geval geen dom gansje.” Please send your answers to this page in case you know!

I wanted to promote this little video a bit, shot by Roland Pupupin for NSMBL. Can you believe it took two hours of walking through the center of Amsterdam to shoot this? Hella cold! Excuse me for not smiling… Wasn’t allowed to. Lol.

And… Hint #8 is up for the Nelly contest! Here it is: “Als je met je gezicht voor de ingang van dit gebouw staat, heb je een goede zaak in je rug.” Getting close to the last one! You may send your guesses to this page at CG.
