<3 Antwerp
We went to Antwerp for two days and besides the rain it was lovely to get out of Rotterdam for a while. We stayed at a friends place in the city centre above a cosy bakery, the perfect spot from which to wander around. I wanted to take a lot of photos but unfortunately I only took the flower photo at the uberhip conceptstore Ra where we had lunch.
We also visited Juliette Bogers in her oh so cute shop at the Wolstraat 32, filled with her own fashion label and work from other talented designers like; Marjolein Delhaas, Barbara Munsel, Nadine Kieft en Iefke de Roos.
Restored (new point of sales!)
Last week I had a perfect day biking through Amsterdam with Sophia. We had an early appointment at Restored with the owners Marijke and Petra. They are selling my jewellery now as well! I simply love their shop at the Haarlemmerdijk. It is a conceptstore filled with young designers like; Lenneke Wispelwey, Tas-Ka, Satara and many more. The atmosphere here is just perfect, you can feel their passion for true creativity!
When in Amsterdam you should definitly visit Restored and say hi from me! They will also be the first in the Netherlands to sell Frankie Magazine!
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!
