So you've probably read my last blogpost and wondered what my 2019 goals were, if that's the case you don't have to wait any longer because today I'm finally sharing them. Sorry for the wait ;). Without further ado, here they are: + get accepted for UAL:LCF Literally my biggest goal ever since I was young has been to get into this specific university in London and study strategic fashion management. For years this has been my biggest goal, so I'm constantly praying to get in. My passion to follow this course is never-ending. + reach 1k on instagram If you've been following me (@thedutch ..read more

Ladies and gentlemen, after taking a month long break for school she is finally back and indeed better than ever. She has replenished her creative fuels, she has gotten good grades and she is now more ready than ever to entertain via her socials. Hey :). It's true, I am back from the dead, I returned from the grave that actually wasn't a grave because if you follow my IG you know I was still alive all this time, to make content on here again. Yay!! Anyways, I figured my first blogpost of the year would be a little look back into my 2018 goals and whether I've accomplished them or not. I alwa ..read more

hey there! so the break is taking a little bit longer then expected, which i wanna explain a bit in this post. so, as you can tell by the title, i've been feeling uninspired lately, maybe even for the last two months, when it comes to my blog. i've not been in the mood to read other blogs or write anything myself, and in weeks where i did put something up it was half-assed. it felt like every week rushed by and then i had to just pump a post out, take a quick picture, write some quick generic text, upload it and continue studying. but i don't want it to be like that. so that's why im finding ..read more

~ Not sponsored ~ I'm gonna preface this by saying two things: 1) No this is not one of those crappy "get an address in the US!" things where you pay twice the shipping. It's way better! 2) I actually have a coupon code for all y'all which will be at the end of this post So, Glossier. It's of those brands that seems to be virtually everywhere. Every cool girl on instagram or youtube uses their products, their pink bags are an internet celebrity by themselves and the whole brand uses the most genius marketing. Sad thing is, they don't ship to the Netherlands. Therefore I set out to find a way ..read more

~ Not sponsored ~ I've said it once and I'll say it many times, I'm a diehard youtube fan. I don't know what it is about the platform, but something about watching random people's lives is so captivating to me. It follows the same idea that blogs do, we want insight into the "unknown" that consists out of other people's lives, but in a more visual way. Putting all that philosophy aside let's just dive into the list, shall we? ✰ zozaleenie (link) Seriously, is there anything this girl can't do? She's a great artist, makes amazing lo-fi background music, takes awesome pictures (mainly pol ..read more

~ Not sponsored ~ Another month, another beauty favorites post! This month I didn't buy as much, but I did find some very good products! Ps. I'm sorry for not posting last week. My blogpost got deleted, my card corrupted and I had a lot of schoolwork to do so I couldn't reshoot and rewrite :'(. ✰ the Maybelline face studio chrome extreme highlighter (300 sandstone shimmer) is in intensely shimmery highlighter in a beautiful and warm golden peach shade. I love this because it makes such a great impact without needing to build it up, it's just intense af from the get-go. I'd say the shade ..read more

~ Not sponsored ~ With many people finally accepting the fact that the autumnal season is yet upon us and it's finally socially acceptable to talk about fall we're gonna do just that today! If you're just as "OCD" as I am, you've most likely made seasonal to-do lists or bucket lists. Today I'm sharing mine! This post was inspired by this post, full credit for the idea goes to them. Get a plaid to cosy up with ~ What's more autumnal than a great, chunky knit plaid? The season is all about being cosy and comfy af, and what better way to get cosy then with a nice blanket? Btw, I don't just n ..read more

~ Not sponsored ~ This article has been requested by some lovely commenters on my youtube, so today I'll be telling you all about how I put my outfits together! The first step varies a lot, but usually I either have a type of outfit though out or a piece I want to style my outfit around. For the outfit pictured below I knew I really wanted to style this sweater and involve a fanny pack in the look. It's easier to start out with a beginning like this, so it's best to start out with a piece you want to style around (or get an idea for a vibe like "preppy", "insta baddie" etc.) Let me outl ..read more

~ Not sponsored ~ So lately I've been doing a lot of thinking, and suddenly I was falling down a rabbit hole about the death of effort in our modern society, specifically in whats normal for casual fashion. So today I thought we should have a little chat about that :). While researching for this mini-essay I found these (1  &  2) articles which articulate the exact same point, so if you're interested in that you can read those as well. Lately, I've noticed that everything needs to suddenly be this "effortless" accomplishment; "These grades? phew! I didn't even study at all lol" or ..read more

~ This post is not sponsored ~ Hey there! Today I'm sharing the first outfit in a series of transitional autumn / back to school outfits. This one is all about comfort and effortlessness, with a hint of grooviness :). I love the bell sleeves on this top, which gives it a seventies feel, especially in combination with this color and pattern. I kept the jeans simple, but super high waisted to accentuate the decades vibes, and paired it with my awesome new platform vans (platforms make everything better lol). For accessories I kept everything minimal as well, and chose to go for these turto ..read more
