International Swim Fashion Week Curaçao ❤

Hello lovelies,

I just can't find the inspiration to blog lately, but I'm very excited for this particular post. One of the main concerns I had when moving back to Curaçao for these months, was that I would have to say bye to my blogger life for a while. Meaning: no(t too many) fashion shows or beauty events to attend. But all that changed when I found out Curaçao is hosting an International Swim Fashion Week later this month. I already set aside money to buy tickets, but I decided to approach them anyway in case they were looking for bloggers to cover any runway shows. Turns out, they were so excited and granted me a VIP ticket for each day! How cool is that? I'm beyond excited!

In case you don't want to miss out -what seems will be- a very awesome event, I suggest you get tickets asap. All shows will be held at the beautiful SANTA BARBARA Beach & Golf resort. I've never been there before, but I've seen pictures and it's gorgeous! I don't think I'd want to be anywhere else but at the place where I get to see 9 world class swim designers and 14 of the world's top runway models! Would you?

For the most recent updates, follow ISFW on facebook and instagram!

Who will I be seeing next week on the 20th?

MBFWA 10DAYSDOWNTOWN - DAY3: BLOGGERSCAFE ❤

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Amsterdam celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. And to celebrate, they've come up with: 10DAYSDOWNTOWN. 10 Events in 10 Days on 10 different Locations. Yesterday I traveled to Amsterdam to attend the Bloggerscafe by Fashionchick. A lovely (+ free) event for every blogger, journalist and lover of fashion to come together and network! :-) After a whole hour of bloggers catching up and sipping on some delicious Baileys Chocolate Luxe, we were welcomed into a room full of balloons, chairs and goodiebags. The next hour was filled with inspiring and funny stories from three successful bloggers: Monique van Loon, Yvonne Eijkenduijn & Anouk Bas. All three shared their secret recipe to a successful blog.

My Perfect MBFW Amsterdam Look ❤

From the 17th of January 2014 till the 27th, Amsterdam is hosting its 20th Edition of FASHION WEEK. During this period, Amsterdam will be overcrowded with fashion designers, models, fashion bloggers, trend reporters and general fashion lovers.. And I sooo want to be a part of it all! This would be my very first year attending Fashion Week, so you can see why I would be excited. Especially because one of my favorite youtube gurus: Evelina Barry, will be attending a few shows. But my ultimate AFW experience would be completed, if I would be the lucky winner of FASHIONCHICK's Bloggers Contest. Two nights and a luxurious lunch in Art'otel, tickets to all the must-see AFW shows and an entire SuperTrash outfit? Sounds like a real treat!

Fashion Week is where your ultimate fashion alter ego comes out. No one to give you to stinky eye about what you're wearing. Only admiration for your style and courage from your fellow fashionable peers. That's why I think finding the perfect outfit(s) is so important! I want the alter ego in my head to run wild in possibilities, but I also want to remain true to my personal style. And that is why this would be My Perfect MBFW Amsterdam 2014 Look.

Since the events are all mid- and end January, there is a chance we'll still be experiencing a severe winter. So I opted for a nice cobalt blue Cape Coat, an aztec Kimono Cropped Top with long sleeves and black semi-baggy Leather Pants. I thought I'd combine the black and blue outfit with purple and teal accessories. And finish it all of with some edgy white cut-out Boots. I am so in love with this entire outfit! It has a lot of statement pieces, but doesn't look messy. And most important of all, I stayed true to my own style

What do you think of my AFW Look? What's your perfect Fashion Week Look?
