Spring Dress
Spring Dress

Here I am, pretending that it is summer with this gorgeous beach dress from Subdued. I think that it looks great paired with white converses and a light -washed denim jacket when you are in the city.

The temperatures are heating up (maybe not in Amsterdam so much) and it is the perfect time to put away that thick winter coat.

It is nearly the end of summer, but that doesn't mean that we can't travel to a tropical dream: tall palm trees leaning over the breathtaking white sand beaches and hearing the crystal clear turquoise waves crash on the shore. Well, this dream becomes in a reality in Sardinia, Italy.

It is that time of the year where summer is coming to an end which means back to school! Not only does this mean shopping for brand new school supplies but planning cute new outfits!

For my outfit, I went with a white/gold colour theme. I wore my favourite white bohemian playsuit which I purchased from an adorable shop in Bondi, Naomi Levi (you can purchase a similar playsuit here) I love how this can be worn out at night for something special or just casually out for a day at the beach.

Winter has officially come upon us (brrrrrrrrr!), and I don’t know about you but I always find it hard transitioning into big coats, wooly (and itchy!) sweaters and chunky, thick boots. Here, I composed an outfit out of all my winter favourites, that will make it much easier to enjoy the season!

A couple of weeks ago, the beautiful snow began to fall in England. 

I kept myself warm and cozy with this grey faux-fur brimmed coat from Tommy Hilfiger. I love this jacket paired with a pair of light-blue washed skinny jeans from Abercrombie and Fitch.

Deliciously Healthy Pink Juice
Mar 19, 2016

This morning I was craving something sweet but relatively healthy and so I came up with this pink dreamy juice. This 100% vegan and oh so healthy drink contains many beneficial fruits and vegetables such as beetroot, cucumbers, oranges and carrots. This juice is great for a mid-morning snack or for breakfast with some thing else. mmmmm!
