Queeny

Happy Friday everyone! A long weekend lies ahead of me, as it is Queens day this Monday! Am not sure how to start early at work Tuesday (on my new project!), but that´s a future concern. As this is a national celebration, my dear friend who moved to Hamburg is visiting, so we´ll have some nice quality time this weekend. What are your plans? Enjoy! xoxo

Guess what I'm wearing today?

Istanbul #3

Some of Istanbul's architecture and history:

Granola

I think I have mentioned before that I am not really good with breakfast. I started thinking on what would work for me: a fruit/green juice, bread, fruit....and then I stumbled on granola. It is super easy, fulfilling and you can mix it up (with different fruits or yogurts). You can even take it with you if you don´t have much time. I am not sure if it is something for everyday, but for now it works. During the weekends I splurge on bread, making eggs and preparing juices and have a proper sit-down:)

Happy Monday

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had an amazing weekend. Mine was half in bed recovering from a cold and the other half celebrating my friend's 30th birthday with food, laughter and cocktails (I had the devil's margarita which contains red pepper, good for the soar throat!). Now it's back to business in chilly Amsterdam. Have a great week! xoxo

Bedtime stories

Happy Friday everyone! Almost weekend! I am looking forward to relax and hang out in my bed as I have been walking around with a cold for a couple of days now (started the days after I came back from the sun and stepped into the cold). In between hanging out, I am attending a 30th birthday bash of a friend, so I think my plans are set :). Have a great weekend!

Istanbul #2

Food summary of Istanbul:

Intouchable

Yesterday I decided to watch a movie and ended up watching the french film The Intouchables. It was such as sad, funny and real story (non-fiction in fact) that I wanted to recommend it for those love french cinema and a good story. Happy Wednesday!

Istanbul #1

Happy Tuesday everyone! I am back from an amazing city trip to Istanbul! The weather was so nice (here in Amsterdam Spring has a new meaning to it as it 9 degrees) and the people, the food, the shopping, but most especially the city is most impressing. Old and new mix together, including beautiful mosques and buildings on the one side and the most amazing shops, restaurants and bars on the other. I´ll share my pictures with you soon. Here some of my first impressions! xoxo

On a trip

I am ready for some adventure, so I´m going on a city trip for a couple of days! When I get back, I´ll tell you all about it. Now I have to pack and get ready :).

Dancing in the rain

Good morning! Hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend with family and friends and loads of sunshine. Over here, the sun was no where to be found and it was (and still is!) raining instead. Nevertheless I had a blast with the family, enjoying small talk, videos from 20 years ago and some movies. Now it´s back to business!

Army green

Am currently obsessed with army green (after years of not even thinking about wearing it!) and have shopped some amazing pieces that are wearable past their trend date. Love these army green tights and wedges!

Poppin

Happy Monday! This weekend was very nice, I went to an exhibition called Bodyworlds where I got a lesson in the human anatomy through real human beings preserved with all their muscles, veins and organs on display. It was interesting and weird at the same time. The rest of the weekend was more about chats with friends, hanging out with my family and enjoying nice food. How was yours?

New found addiction: Lemon poppy seed muffins!
