Rainbow Pop

 I just got these earrings in from Asos.com (On sale now! "here"). I thought they would transition perfectly into fall, with the emerald green and the light pink color combo. 

Tomorrow Is Gay Pride in Amsterdam and in honoring them, my Papabubble rainbow pop! (sugar overdose!)

Love Her Style; Rita Ora

Love her style; upcoming artist Rita Ora. This Brit-chick has a fun "good-bad-girl" style; playful, stylish, just plain her. She reminds me of a mix of Rihanna and Gwen Stefani (pre-kids), tough girls glam. 

I'm all about the balance of opposites anyway and she is a perfect fashion muse!

One of the things I love most about Curaçao is the colorful houses. Since Curaçao used to be a Dutch colony, the architecture is quite European, but then very colorful! lots of houses have front like the typical houses in Amsterdam for instance. The windows look romantic with the white wooden shutters. The houses were built like that so they could lock the windows at night, but keep the shutters open for the breeze. I love Curaçao and it's architecture!

I'm loving the black and white stripes now. If you follow me on Pinterest you might have noticed my moodboard "Black and whet stripes", lots of inspiration! It is my new "basic", dress it up or down and any color goes with the black and white.

New in; Coral Fan Necklace

As a true island girl I love accessories that scream summer or anything that comes from the ocean. I once came across a fan coral necklace on the world of Pinterest (follow me "here") and was immedietely in love. 

At the moment I'm back in my hometown Curaçao, visiting my parents together with my sister. My sister got me this presant (she has one in pink!) I love, love, love it! Thank hermana!

you can find the website that sells them here; Amrita Singh

Organic Farmers Market; Noordermarkt, Amsterdam

Last Saturday, I had a wonderful day off. I went to the Organic Farmers Market, that only appears on Saturday. They have THE BEST stuff. We got some delicious Dutch cheese called "grass-cheese" (it only appears in spring/summer, it's when the cows got to eat the grass outside). Some yummy organic bread and the best tomato and artichoke tapanade. 

We ate it outside our friends house, enjoying the sun on out faces.

Hope you had a great weekend too and If you are ever in amsterdam, make sure to visit this market!
