Someday...

I love decorating! I don't live on my own at the moment (I did when I was studying in The Hague and when I lived abroad though) and I'm not planning to move out very soon, but it's not a secret that every now and then I buy myself some decoration things for my future home. Someday, I'll be living in my dream house. I just have to wait a little longer before making it real. In the mean time, I loveee looking at beautiful home and decoration pictures in magazines, books and on Pinterest. I then dream about it and try to imagine what my perfect home will look like. At the moment I would choose for nude shades such as white, grey and black. These colors keep the house bright, fresh, chic, and, in my opinion, very appealing. Totally my style! Here're some pictures I found on Pinterest to give you an idea. A girl can dream right? :)

P.s. check out my Pinterest profile to see more pictures. What kind of home are you dreaming about? 

Sushi Friday

Hii all! I just wanted to say a quick hello and wish you a great Friday! I'll spend the evening eating sushi at a restaurant with one of my best friends. We've been trying to plan this dinner several times already and we've finally managed to find a date, so you can imagine how much I'm craving for some sushi right now. I've been out enjoying the lovely weather all day, or actually all week! Even though even walking the stairs makes me sweat already with these temperatures, the run and the pilates workout I did this morning did me so good! I always feel so motivated and energetic after my workouts. With a happy summer feeling and my new dress on, I'm ready for some yummy sushi!

Aaand the doorbell just rang. My friend's here, so I've got to go now. What are your plans for the weekend? Enjoyyy! ♥

Happy July!

Happy July everyone! Wow, I never thought we would start this month with hot, hot, hot weather! The forecast even tells us that these temperatures will rise and stay for at least two weeks! This is Summer, Holland, this really is Summer! I just hope the nice weather continues for like two months at least!

July is one of my favorite months of the year. Maybe I'm biased, but I really like this oh-so-amazing month. Let me first admit that my birthday is in July, and even though that may or may not be the reason for loving this month, it's definitely a bonus. And then Summer, who doesn't love that?!

Here's a list about why love this month:

• The warm weather; like I said, it's been so warm the last couple of days.. Oee, I love it! The tanning season has begun.. burn, baby, burn!
• The sense of joy; I'm not sure what it is, but if I wake up in the morning and I see the sun's rays peeking through my window, I'm getting this instant happy feeling where after I just want to jump out of bed and do this happy dance. Not that I'm actually doing this though.. don't want to embarrass myself in front of the mirror haha. Are you familiar with that certain feeling?
• The holiday; who isn't fond of that?
• The activities; swimming, tanning, sporting, car washing (did it myself yesterday :-)), picnicking, driving around with the cabriolet, city exploring, going out for drinks or ice creams, relaxing at the lake.. you name it!
• The food and cold beverages; ice creams, fresh juices/smoothies, home-made salads, and not to forget fruit, I l-o-v-e fruit! I never go a day without it. Now for summer I'd like to make myself naturally flavored water, it's so fresh and healthy too.Thinking about it.. maybe I should write a post about it, would you like that?
• The clothes; light and bright shorts, skirts, dresses, tops, rompers, ballerinas, sandals.. Yes, we're allowed to show our pretty arms & legs ladies!
• The entertainments; in three weeks the International Four Days Marches (de Nijmeegse Vierdaagse in Dutch) start again. A week full of festivities and parties in the city of Nijmegen. Bet I will be spending my whole 'no-work-week' in that city, especially Friday since I'll be ringing in my birthday that evening. And about the marches.. someday, I will walk it myself. Read more about this event here.
• And at last but definitely not least; good times, making memories, and enjoy that amazingly happy Summer feeling as much as possible!

Now it's up to you! What are your plans for this Summer? Anything exciting coming up? Let me know in the comment box down below, I would love to read it! :) Have a lovely week everyone! xo

Lady In Red

Have you ever noticed how certain colors are able to transform your mood? Well, I most certainly did when I put this coat on. Even though I prefer wearing neutral colors - especially black - red is one of those colors I really like. It's bold and always makes a statement, so ladylike! Now that Summer is - or actually should be - here, I've been catching myself picking the more bright colors out of my wardrobe. The grey skies and the rain we had the last couple of days, don't give me that happy summer feeling at all. So why not wearing that happy summer feeling? Like this coat, I fell for it immediately. Red will never go out of style, it's such a timeless color and it somehow makes me feel cheery.. Now I definitely can confirm that colors really can change your mood haha!

What I'm wearing:

Coat / Zara

Top / SuperTrash

Heels / SuperTrash

Bag / Michael Kors

Sunnies / Ray-Ban

Bracelet, ring / Buddha to Buddha

Ring / MelanO
