Street Style; Queen's Day Style

Queens day in Amsterdam is one big party. Yesterday it was that time of the year again, everybody was out celebrating the Queens birthday. The national color of Holland is orange and thus is it a "must" to wear something orange on this day. Some people go all out or dress up silly, while others do it with style. I'm sharing some fashionable ladies who incorporated orange into their wardrobe on this special day.

High tea birthday brunch

 Last weekends pictures of my friends birthday brunch. As you walk in the room you'd get a overdose of pink cuteness and a delicious sweet smell of yummie cakes and such awaiting us. Sipping on mimosas at 12 in the afternoon (it's Saturday, it's allowed) and tunes of Lana del Rey playing in the back ground (which turned into a big random mix tape)  

Some of the treats catered by my personal favorite bakery "Bakken met Passie" and others home-made by the birthday girl herself, it was all scrumptious and a big success 

 Mimosa's and birthday cheers

Vday DIY ideas

I'm not the kind of person that is crazy about valentine's day, but when I see all the creative gift ideas on every website possible, I sort of get intrigued. Below are some easy and fun ideas to DIY for your valentine. Hope you like! XO

For your mom - Get a bar of chocolate and rewrap it with decorative paper, a sweet, personalized message and a ornament/keepsake.

 For a friend - Put together a crafts starter kit. You can add anything really. For some one who would like to start making bracelets, get nice beads, chain, pliers etc. other kit ideas; for someone that starts scrapbooking, card making or sewing.

For your lover - Put together a movie night box. Start with a DVD of choice of course, Add sparkle to drink, and interactive dessert like sticks and marshmallows (to hold over a candle) or a mini chocolate fondue set.

Movie Night - Breakfast at Tiffany's

 Following through with my new years resolution, I hosted a girls movie night. We watched Breakfast at Tiffany's, a classic by Truman Capote. Complete with a candy bar before the movie and a Mini-burger bar after. I had a wonderful time and want to thank my wonderful friends for coming. Below some more of that night's details.

Because a girls night isn't complete with out a cocktail and glitter

Prepping the drinks;

A splash of multi-fruit juice, splash of Vodka Peach, topped of with prosecco and a cumquat. 

 Before the movie started we got to fill up our own paper bag with caramel or salted popcorn, gummy bears and M&M's. 

After the movie I set up the "Mini-Burger" bar, where you got to choose your own toppings and condiments
