Flora

Okay, my love for bougainvillea has grown to an obsession, but they are so pretty! My love for black and white stripes combined wit a flower print has also extended to a slight obsession. It is the perfect balance, two opposite prints and color vs monotone.

La Dolce Vita

Happy Monday! As we say in my country; Bon siman! (have a good week). Finally back and settled from our 3 week trip through Italy, we had a wonderful time eating, drinking and admiring the Italian culture. Now a short stay in Amsterdam and then we will move back to our home in Curaçao!

Full Midi Skirt 2.0

 A solution to two fall problems;

Bad hair day? Tie a scarf in your hair with a big bow!

Cold toes? Wear socks (that's a no brainer ;p). BUT beware of what your sandal & socks combo looks like, so you don't end up looking like a lost tourist!

Seeing Stripes

My love for black and white stripes has not died down yet. 

Pairing it with mint green for a summer look and topping it off with a colorful statement necklace.

New in; Colors, Colors and seeing black and white

A perfect statement necklace that can transition from summer into fall with the jewel tones and pops of color. 

Society6 has too many nice phone covers to choose from, in the end I chose this colorful number. 

My love for black and white stripes has grown since I got the round sunnies! Black and white stripes are my new neutrals.

Black 'n White Crop Top

 I have been collecting ropes, string and other materials that I'm attracted to over the past few months and I have never actually done anything with them until this necklace. Rope items are this springs and summers hottest accessories and it is really cool to be able to say; "I did it myself".

Get inspired this weekend and make your own rope necklace!

Black and White

I'm obsessing over the over-the-knee pencil skirt trend! Wear it more grungy with a boxy cropped knit top and ankle length boots. Since my booties are cut-out boots I paired them with a little black and white graphic print sock with a pop of yellow.

Mixing patterns & Pastels

 When I travel I usually end up taking too little clothes, but it makes it more fun and creative. When packing just make sure everything sort of fits together (same tone of color, and a little variety with textures). 

That is how this outfit came to exist in London. 

Me; "Day 3. hmmm what have I not worn yet....*rumble, rumble in the suitcase* Tada! Outfit"

And there is no doubt that I absolutely love clashing prints.

Graphic Black 'n White

A trend you will be seeing a lot come spring is graphic black and white print. Pair this trend with pops of neon for playful look or metallics for a more chic look.

Today's outfit; Brick, Stripes and Converse

I'm loving my rusty/brick colored pants (last years, but totally rediscovered!). 

My summer obsession with black and white stripes secretly continues into fall... (honestly, I loved black and white stripes all my life and always dreamed of a black & white striped wall...maybe one day...).

Outfit Post; Black 'n White & Pink Bauble

 Three of my favorite items in one outfit. The summer's must have necklace from Ily Couture, my burgundy shorts I scored in the mens department of H&M and my black & white stripes. I cannot wait to wear all these items in fall, since I think they will all transition just perfectly. 

What's your favorite summer item, you cannot wait to wear in fall?
