Dresses & skirts
Since I started sewing I mainly sew dresses and skirts, no pants and rarely a top. These are just a few items I made in the last year, for friends or for myself! Just now I finished some big cushions for our summer balcony. I still got a whole wishlist of things I want to sew. First thing is a long black simple dress with a low back.
I am so lucky to have the market with a large fabric part right next door where I can find amazing fabric for a euro per meter. But I still would love to go here!
Always with me
I always have two Susan Bijl bags with me where ever I go. You just put them in your regular bag and they come in handy (and ‘green’) when you go shopping in the city or to the market. I simply love them and can’t leave the house without. There is a new line of bags which come in leather. Check them out here.
Villa Augustus
This was just a lovely weekend! We celebrated our 2 year anniversary. After I got suprised with a dress from Humanoid! (me oh so happy!) and a lovely breakfast in the small garden from ‘Mangiare’ we went by ferry with the scooter to Dordrecht to explore the old town and visit Villa Augustus. The sun was shining and the kitchen garden was beautiful!
Electric Feathers
This dress is amazing. Together with the jewellery I would feel like a queen wearing this.

I am a scarf girl!
I am a scarf girl. I have a ladder hung full of them. My favourites are one with stars and one I bought in Bolivia. These scarfs I found by Studio mhl. They are handwoven by Ilse Acke. I love the vibrant colours!
Studio IJm 1
Last week I went with friend and stylist Sophia van den Hoek to a photoshoot for a dutch magazine. The inspiration for this shoot came from a dutch painter Kees van Dongen and photos were taken by Miep Jukkema. I had never been to a photoshoot before and I just loved everything about this day.
The place where the shoot was taking place was at the truly inspirational IJm Studio in Amsterdam. I just could not stop getting my camera out to take pictures from all the details around us. In and around every corner there was something new to discover and I just loved the whole atmoshpere over there. Seeing the photos below you can imagine why!
Women, hope, fashion
These pretty photos are from Satara. A new dutch Fair Trade fashion label. Satara supports women in India. With the help from young designers they make a feminin and comfortable collection. I love this idea and the clothes in nice pastels are great. I would wear almost everything, especially the ones with the bubbleprint!

Summer skirt
I love love love skirts! These pink striped ones really make me long for long summer days just spinning around! The family is cute too!
