Breakfast at Fayme's back on track....

Happy Hump-day! 

I have been M.I.A. for the last two weeks, in the mean time I have become a graduate and have been vacationing on my home-island Curaçao. 

Spending time with the family, taking a dive in the caribbean sea and a quick shop stop at my favorite store on the island; The Front Row, which recently launched their web-shop check it out "here"

Tropical Tablescape

As fall is creeping up on us, I will share an easy, cheery DIY for the home. A tropical floral napkin ring, that will make your tablescape feel like the tropics.

What you need;
- Some good looking faux flowers (I had never seen faux bougainvilleas and got them in Hawaii, but any flower works really, even a nice fall flower like a faux dahlia) 
- Napkin rings ( I liked to go with the look, feels tropical) 
- Gold wrapping/binding wire  

Simply string the flowers through and wrap the wire around the napkin ring. (you could use a glue gun as well, but the gold gives it a cool touch, I find).

Et Voila! your tropical tablescape is awaiting you and your guests!

Luau

Going to the Luau, getting lei'd (those are the flower garlands). These leis where hand-made by family member. One of the garlands was made from little jasmine like flowers and smelled amazing. Others where made with orchids and carnations (my dads favorites).

I just think it is an awesome tradition! 

Happy Weekend.

Tip; How to save a lei? put it in the fridge!

Wild Tropicana

I had made this skirt months ago, before I even knew I was going to Hawaii. I had been waiting for the perfect occasion to wear it and finally it had arrived! Hawaii is filled with the plumeria flowers, they are the ones that you wear in your hair, left side if your taken and right side if your single (what a tradition, right, talking about labeling...). I just like it because it looks so feminine.

Aloha from Hawaii

Now back in Amsterdam, I had a few wonderful days in Hawaii and LA, spending fun times with family. Walking the beach in front of the house we stayed at, in the mornings. Drinking Hawaii Kona coffee and having tropical fruits for breakfast. I wish I could go for one of those refreshing morning walks right now....

Tropical Fruits in Hawaii

At Pali lookout, halfway in the mountains, over a thousand feet above the coast line. Overlooking the northern side of the island of Oahu and the Koolau Cliffs. It was a cloudy and windy day, yet very tranquil and amazing sight.

New in; Tropical Elements

Finally my exams are done and I have decided to go on a much needed vacation. There will be tropical climate and quality family time together. I couldn't help but treat myself to some tropical inspired items to get into the vacation spirit! My suitcase is packed, just one more night and I'm off....

Tropical Kaleidoscope

Reminiscing the warm Curaçao days one more time. A trend we will be seeing lots of coming Spring/summer is the tropical kaleidoscope look. I am totally in love with these types of prints, often rich in color like this dress itself. Showcasing exotic flowers like orchids and lilies, the wardrobe is a piece of art on its own, I think.
