Green Faux Leather Skirt

There I go again with my (faux) leather craze. This is the skirt I DIYed a while back, which in "this post" I said "stay tuned" to see what it has become.... I finally got the chance to wear it since it is becoming fall quite rapidly. One thing is for sure... It keeps you booty hot :) Happy Weekend!

Au Revoir Summer

Some pictures that lost their way on my desktop (taken in Curaçao, few weeks ago). The weather here in Holland has changed 360degree from last week and as it's looking it will not give us a break until after winter!

So I share a little sunshine from Curaçao.

Neon Leopard Nails

As promised, here is the secret behind yesterdays nails. The polish is "American Apparel - Neon yellow" (obvious) and the stickers are from Essence (Dutch shoppers; Available at Kruidvat and US; Check Ulta).

The nail stickers come in a variety of designs, lace, grafitti etc. and of course you can use any color of polish underneath the gel stickers (but oh how I love colors that pop)  

Note; It only sticks for 1 day (an excuse not to do the dishes)

Home Decor; A look inside Francine's Casita

A dedication to my dear friend Francine who just moved back to our lovely little island, leaving me behind in this city that is starting to turn cold. 

I had an awesome time capturing little nooks in her apartment.

Her style is eccentric, colorful and she is inspired by the mexican culture. She has been collecting pineapples for years, before they made a splash this summer.

 She sticks to her imported Santo Domingo coffee and sips from gold cups. 

Visting her is like a visit to an exotic tropical place, with vivid colored decor and sea inspired trinkets like these coral candle holders

Eating from colorful fish plates with bamboo inspired pieces.

Unfortunately my "Bistro Francine's" is no longer located in Amsterdam, but in warm and sunny Curacao where her interior meets the weather all year round.

Francine you are a great inspiration to me and I cannot wait to see what you will make your new home look like! I miss you already my friend!
