FASHIONFILLERS

Went out to dinner with my family, because of my grandma’s birthday.

Finally found the black & white brogues I was looking for… It took me about a year, but cheap ones can actually be found.

The best plate of ice cream ever. Finished it all by myself!

I’m madly in love with the silver version of these Miu miu glitter boots, but was of course also very pleased to spot the gold edition with my own eyes.

Visited the RAAK fashion show for ILFN, together with Sabrina from AfterDRK and ILFN’s editor in chief Anna.

One of my favorite outfits, worn by MTV‘s Nadia Palesa. Loving those pants!

The finale.

A simple fruit salad: always yummy.

Currently reading Just Kids by Patti Smith, a book I bought back in LA. The first pages were a bit hard to get through, but I’m now absolutely in love with this biography, based on Patti’s first years in New York. Picture taken when I spent the night at my grandmother’s (in case you wonder about the sheets…).



Finally, finally, finally found this leopard scarf I was already on the lookout for since forever! Of course I have seen a couple of great designer versions before, but this cheap one finally made the deal.

Drinks at my favorite gaybar.

A triple of fish as starter. Scallops are the best.

Treated myself on the newest Dutch ELLE and ELLE‘s style bible.

Chocolate mousse and prosecco turn your alright Saturday night into a perfect Saturday night.

Tried on some glitter nail polish, after being scared of glitters for a very long time. I first used two grey layers, topped with glitter confetti polish. Maybe it’s the Miu Miu glitter boots that inspired me?

We were treated at the office with a huge bag of Toblerone chocolates, and I tried to scare my roommate by sticking two wrappings to her ceiling. It worked. She thought strange creatures invaded her space.

Being very glad you liked my daily life shots back on the blog, this is my newest photo diary of September. I’m gonna try to take more pictures next month! Let me know what you think!

Camie celebrated her birthday last weekend and I got her lots of chocolate muffins… Delicious!

Drawing I’ve been working on.

ILFN‘s “I Love My Thoughts” notebook, made by hand, with gold sides! A big thanks to Annic :)

Shooting the cover of Fur Free Magazine with photographer Wouter van den Brink. Too cute kitties.

Jojanneke took care of the cats.

Really nice unbaked vanilla-lemon cheesecake I made, if I may say myself. With sugarfree raspberry topping! So good and even kinda healthy!

On a sunny boat trip with my colleagues. Plus nice wines and salty snacks…

Delicious yoghurt ice-cream and fresh fruits with my grandmother, during a family-weekend.

It’s raining a lot in the Netherlands. Really, A LOT. Here’s my roommate doing a rain dance in front of our house.

At beer brewery Brouwerij ‘t Ij, in Amsterdam.

I’m not a big fan of beer, actually not at all, but this freshly made dark beer tasted unexpectedly great.

Helped with a fashion shoot for JFK Magazine near the coast.

Lots of trees have burned down a while ago, these are the breathtaking remains.

Swan print silky top I bought at H&M recently.

Vanilla flavored yoghurt, fresh strawberries, and granola with nuts. Best breakfast ever! Or lunch, or snack… Or anything.

Dylan says ‘hi’.

And a wonderful old picture of my mother I recently found… On her brother’s first bike.

Do you like my photo diary? Should I start doing more of them again?

At the Santa Monica pier, end of Route 66

Santa Monica beach

Melrose Trading Post, the weekly flea market at the corner of Fairfax and Melrose.

The Surly Goat, an awkward bar where we played awkward games with awkward people

The Beverly Laurel hotel, where we stayed for about a week (great beds, huuuge shower…)

Rodeo Drive….more boring than we thought actually! The area is only fun for two hours, as there’s also no possibility to buy anything of course.

The streets on the side of the busy roads in Hollywood are the best. You’re in the middle of a energetic city, and there’s just the most beautiful views when you look to your right or left! There’s the long streets filled with tall palm trees, and these, with beautiful lavender colored nature.

The only star I neccesarily needed to see, John’s. It feels kinda strange they all have one except for Paul though.
H&M top and cardigan / random cutoff jeans / vintage bag, boots and sunglasses

Los Angeles from the Hollywood Hills

Carl, my new best buddy

Fayette getting pierced….worst pain ever. Excuse me for my smile.

Fayette, Nawathip and me, on our last night together

And of course, our last supper at Robata Jinya in West Hollywood. Too much, but also too good to keep your hands, fingers and chopsticks off. Very much recommended if you like the Japanese cuisine, and like to order small portions of anything! Please give me more of that signature shrimp toast… Delicious!

So, this is the last post about Los Angeles, hope you like the pictures! Only one more post coming up, about our San Francisco trip!

Tried to get my hands on the beautiful striped bow blouse on the first picture, but it went up too high for me, what a shame! Really, really, really wanted to get it…..put my alarm during midnight – when I was even staying with a friend – to grab it, but the $$$$ were too far up… :(
