What friends say

You may have noticed some sort of abandoning of the blog....well NOT happening. I just had to catch a flight and become the humble girl in the big city again. Back at home or the place I'm supposed to be living in I have reconnected with the hectic life typical of a big city...rush rush rush..no time no time...and rush some more...

While waiting my turn and rushing I had the most stupid thing happen to me. It might even be e revelation. My cousin Sophia casually but uber enthusiastically happens to mention she got Minnetonka's for like the price of a dime. me reply, 'What are Minnetonka's????' OMG!!! NO! I, the one with the blog did not know what MINNETONKA's are. I bet even you know so if you're in Utrecht move that ass to the city...don't know where, don't know how....just make it happen and grab yourself a pair. I recently got Ugg's and am in nooooo position whatsoever of shopping so go ahead and drool with me;

Now don't go crying if you're in the USA or anywhere but Utrecht. 'Cause I have wonderful friends. So I just landed and I had but HAD to go visit the shops...And who did I find? Girl Emery, says she was needing me. Boy you'll be happy she found me! She needed to know where to find this fabulous lipcolor I was wearing a few months ago, said she needed it Rihanna-red. Well the answer was; Sephora, where they have these wonderful lip stains that won't budge not even for the rain or the sun. So it's weatherproof and season-less.

So there you have it, round up of this week. Either you grab those Minnetonka's in Utrecht or you visit Sephora and you grab yourself a cream lip stain!

Pink me up

As all girly girl J'adore PINK....not the Victoria's Secret brand only but all things pink. I'm past my obession but Jason Wu has revived it all up! 

I simply declare this day...

The day to remember and love your inner PINK fever. I you were the girl in pink, or the one with the pink room...celebrate it! There is no shame in that. Plus you don't have to go all overboard, that would be fashion suicide :P

Just use something pink, even if it is only your nails.

And while you're all pinked up, research http://www.pinkribbon.com/ As you can see pink was never a bad choice!

Hasta la vista babes!

Happy Weekend

I'm a girl with an olive complexion that has a bit of yellow-ish in it. So coral suits me perfectly. Besides I was born on an island, which makes me, (not all islanders) crave mango like colors! If you see one of the famous sightings of my dushi Curacao you'll agree with me.

Nuff said huh? Aint it pretty? So all these glorious buildings make me want to wear something BOLD and beautiful! And what is that you say? The following will shed light on your understanding.

Actually this ensemble could be a bit too colorful for me but all apart I like all these pieces. And it seems effortless and breezy and ok...it says chic chick on the rooooolll...add some heels and we can go dance salsa! Or add flats and we can match the buildings in the city. So what's it gonna be? Believe and be happy!

Hasta la vista babes!

Kiss me...ki-ki-kiss me!

Oh yep, If you've recognized where this is going...well I love that song! No...no...let's start over...

DRESS me! dre-dre-dress me! That's more like it huh? Well, if the heat of summer (my tropical loves) has got you melted I've gotten the perfect wear it everywhere tip; Get yourself a cute dress! I'm not saying I'm over shorts...(Heck no! I practically live in those things) however there are someplaces shorts cannot be worn.

1. Cute first date...at a nice restaurant

2. The streets of Curacao (if you don't want to be called darling all the way to heaven that is :P )

3. And well maybe you're mom like mine thinks shorts are house-clothing (see Mom knows best? )

For all those (im)practical reasons I have found this cute but nice and sweet but ladylike...little option. See below.

It might be short...oh but who cares...wear a short beneath if you're a fan of my mom! If its rainy outside like my dear big city Rotterdam...pair it with some leggings...but just give it a shot..

Besides don't skimp on colors. If you find a great super great neon lime like green, just do it! Remember summer is all about color. Even if the weather isn't, cuz staring people can make you happy :P Just joking....its summer my dears! So enjoy it to the max! Hasta la vista babes!

Btw....did you see the ring on her finger? Would I be bragging if I said...I spotted and bought it before she did? LOLssss

2nd of July

Indeed it does not read the 4th of July, not out of disrespect, just plain and simply because the 2nd of July is Flag Day in my dushi Curacao! Now as most of us would state, dark blue, white and yellow are pretty difficult to combine (be free to Google 'Curacao flag').

Thus I've decided to use one of the islands most beautiful beaches as the source of inspiration for my style indications...kinda rhymes now doesn't it! :P

In my native language this beach is called Kenepa Grandi, or Grote Knip which is in Dutch.

This beach is one of the most clearest of the whole island and one of the most frequented. In case you are visiting make sure you go early morning in order to get a spot beneath the cute palm-covered benches, it is totally worth it.

However if you won't be joining on a trip to this awesome beach just take a note on these inspirational pieces and be happy! Your happiness is as great as the strenght of your mind, or so I'd like to think.....

So if these poppy colors can make you happy then so be it! However if you do not dare do the BOLD for head to toe, well just add one piece....and whenever it catches your eye, just smile...And you'll be a happy island girl like me...or a -whatever-suits-you! Have a happy 2nd or 4th of July celebration!

Hasta la vista babes!

Wear them short

For those in the Netherlands bathing in that heat, or for those on the sunny island of Curacao there are two options;

Not go out and stay hydrated, es decir, never leave the shower!

Or you can grab you're pair of shorts and head out in style!

Now don't go tell me you haven't gotten at least one pair...'cause than well make yourself one! (grab an old pair of jeans, cut them, shred them, destroy them, bleach them et volia! but Hey! that would be a DIY post, right? giggles....As a guideline use the pic at left ;)

Me myself has done the DIY thing already and was uber

prepared for my sunny summer vacay so Imma grab my 1,000 pair of shorts and wear them like this!

As you can see, this Japanese girls sure do know

how to rock their assets in those cute little shorts! Note that none of them has that slouchy beach look that says; I was lazy dressing up...:P even if I sometimes do have that...

As a result we must say arigatou to style-arena.jp for these amazing street style pictures to delight and enlight our closet usage. So people it's a warm Monday so say hello legs and goodbye to paleness with these cute ensembles...

Domo Arigatou indeed! Hasta la vista, babes!
