Overstappen op Wordpress

Beste vrienden,

De laatste tijd krijg ik steeds meer problemen met Blogger. Zo kon ik de afgelopen dagen ineens geen afbeeldingen meer toevoegen. Daarnaast heb ik sinds een paar dagen Wordpress uitgetest en het is echt geweldig! Jullie horen het al aankomen: ik ga overstappen op Wordpress! En eigenlijk al best wel heel erg snel namelijk morgen of overmorgen. Schrik dus vooral niet als je ineens een andere layout ziet! Ik hoop dat jullie deze overstap ook kunnen waarderen en tot snel!

Voor de allersnelsten: zie hier een voorproefje van de nieuwe layout!

Liefs,

Anne

Mijn reis naar China

We hadden deze reis al bijna een jaar geleden gepland en nu was het eindelijk tijd om naar China te gaan! Ik pakte mijn koffer vol enthousiasme in, tegelijkertijd niet goed wetend wat te verwachten. Vorig jaar was ik naar Japan geweest, maar China is wel zo ontzettend anders! Daarnaast was er haast geen social media en de WiFi connectie in de hotels was helaas niet goed genoeg om jullie op de hoogte te houden. Vandaag laat ik jullie daarom een paar mooie shots zien van China die jullie hopelijk een goede indruk geven van de geweldige reis die ik de afgelopen twee weken gemaakt heb!

What’s in my festival bag?

Wat hou ik toch van de zomer! Wie niet eigenlijk? Afgelopen week ben ik naar Parkpop geweest, een van de grootste gratis festivals in Europa. Dit was de 35^ste editie, maar voor mij de eerste keer. Helaas mocht ik mijn goede camera niet meenemen, en heb ik dus niet echt hele goede outfit foto’s kunnen maken. Wel heb ik een ‘festival editie’ van de ‘What’s in my bag’. Als vrouw neem je natuurlijk altijd best wel veel spullen mee, maar op een festival heb je geen zin om met een enorm zware tas te lopen.

Big City Shopping 1 | Londen

Welkom bij mijn nieuwe serie 'Big City Shopping'! Ik start deze serie en hier laat ik jullie zien wat ik gekocht heb in grote steden. Vandaag is Londen aan de beurt omdat ik hier met een vriendin op vakantie ben geweest! Misschien dat ik de volgende keer wel Shanghai kan laten zien aangezien ik deze vakantie ook nog naar China ga. Voor nu hoop ik dat jullie deze video leuk vinden! Ga naar 11:20 om de mode items te zien die ik gekocht heb. Hiervoor laat ik andere aankopen zien zoals fotos, boeken en zeep. Enjoy! Xox Anne

Dennis Diem's Fashion Performance 2015

Gisteren ben ik naar het Vondelpark in Amsterdam gereisd om Dennis Diem's Fashion Performance te zijn bij Mercedes-Benz Fashionweek Amsterdam. De locatie was helemaal perfect en het was echt een plaatje met de houten vloer, de modellen, de jurken en zelfs de taarten. Alles zag er heel verzorgd uit en Dennis Diem heeft er werkelijkwaar iets moois van gemaakt! See for yourself in deze (allereerste Nederlandse!) vlog! Liefs, Anne

Lean On Festival Outfits!

Hey allemaal! Hierbij mijn allereerste video in het Nederlands! Ik vind het stiekem toch wel spannend om deze overstap te maken, maar he, je moet alles een keer proberen! In deze video heb ik zo'n twee dagen werk zitten en het resultaat mag er dan ook wezen: drie hele leuke festival looks geïnspireerd door de Lean On videoclip van Major Lazer en DJ Snake. Natuurlijk zitten er ook weer andere tips verwerkt in de video voor festivals in het algemeen en eindig ik deze video met een soort mini videoclip (die je niet al te serieus moet nemen ;)). Veel plezier met kijken en vergeet niet te abonneren op mijn YouTube kanaal want vanaf nu zijn alle videos in het Nederlands! [Xo Anna]

Sporty Stripes || OUTFIT

Hi!

Het is weer even anders om nu in het Nederlands te schrijven. Vandaag heb ik weer een outfit voor jullie. Afgelopen week ging ik even de stad in om te winkelen en ik heb toen meteen wat outfit foto’s geschoten. Dit vind ik echt een fijne outfit om lekker te gaan shoppen: comfortabel, makkelijke schoenen en toch helemaal mijn stijl.

Gipsy Necklace || NEW IN

Wow. This necklace is seriously so perfect! I'm talking about my new statement necklace from Happiness Boutique! I received it last week and it truly makes that statement you want a statement necklace to make! It is larger than the usual statement necklace and I can't wait to style it in an outfit soon! Click read more to this awesome necklace!       

Born Pretty Store Makeup || NEW IN

Recently I did some shopping again at Born Pretty Store. They have the most amazing and cute makeup items, very very cheap. This time I went for several travel items because obviously these will come in handy during summer. Even if it's just for a sleepover, these items are essentials for me! I got a lipgloss, eye shadow palette, makeup blender and perfume travel bottle!

Bohemian Festival Clothes

Recently I came across some amazing festival clothes on the webshop Smit Mode and today I will be sharing my favorites with you! I would definitely wear these clothes to a festival and I love their details such as the fringes, studs or nice patterns. Each item I show is from the brand 10 Feet. I really love their collection because everything seems to be of good quality and available in adorable colors. Above you can see two amazing dresses (military green and blue denim) and a t-shirt I would love to wear to a festival myself! Click read more for more favorite items of this collection and some tips on how to style them!

Polette Sunglasses || NEW IN

Thanks to Polette I'm wearing some adorable wooden glasses every day. Now I got the opportunity to get myself two pairs of amazing (sun)glasses! The first pair, as you can see above, is totally different from the usual sunglasses and that's exactly what I like about them! They make your outfit look more edgy, which is a go for me! Just hit the read more button to see my other pair as well!

Inspiration By Jill

‘photography is the only language that can be understood anywhere in the world’ 

Hi Guys! Do you ever have that moment where you don’t have any inspiration? Whether it’s for your blog or work, inspiration is a must. You can find inspiration basically anywhere. Magazines, blogs, celebs and anything that surrounds you. Today I took some pictures, inspired by the most beautiful city in the world. And I hope I can inspire you with these pictures.

TIP: Re-use Old Boxes!

Whether it's a beauty box or gadget box, there are actually quite a lot of good quality and strong boxes you get in your life. Most of us just toss them away at the garbage once the items are used, but these boxes actually come in really handy for us fashion and beauty lovers! That's why I would like to give you a few tips on how to re-use your old boxes! It's Eco-friendly, smart and stylish at the same time! 

IMPORTANT: Time For Change!

Today I have an important notice for all of you! I enjoyed blogging in English for a very long time now and I will still be blogging in English for one more week, but afterwards I will continue my blog in Dutch. I already made my last YouTube video in English (see the video below). It's very weird for me to change and I even think it's kind of scary, but I thought it would be the best thing to do since most of my active followers are Dutch. I'm from the Netherlands myself and I think I can be much more spontaneous if I switch to Dutch. I really would like to say thank you to all the followers who enjoyed my English posts and I wish you a great pleasure the upcoming week. I loved reading your English comments and I hope all the Dutch people will be excited for this change! Of course my posts and videos will still be very visual with many nice fashion photos, so if you like to see beautiful inspiration shots, you can definitely still follow my blog!

Light 'Fit || OUTFIT

 

Hi guys!

Spring has sprung and the weather is getting better here. Since the weather is changing, you also have to give your wardrobe a little change. For me, it means that all the cozy sweaters are traded for cute blouses. Also the dark colors I like to wear during winter and fall, like burgundy red, are getting replaced by lots of light colors. Pastels, and mainly white. I love to wear white, and lately it’s been kinda trendy. Like white jeans and white sneakers. Today I want to show you one of my ‘light outfits’ and also give you some tips and inspiration for your own light outfit.

Must-Have Summer Accessories

Summer is on its way to us and we can just wait until it arrives. However, we can make our summer extra awesome by preparing ourselves well with, of course, some must-have accessories. That's why I will be showing you my must-have summer accessories today! Are you prepared? Let's find out!

We hope you will like this video and if you would like to see more videos (even before they are published on this blog) make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel! Xoxo Anna

Silver White iPhone 6 || NEW IN

It feels like I've waited for forever until I finally got the new iPhone 6 at home, but now I can say I'm the happy owner of the silver white iPhone 6! I was doubting between basically all editions: the gold and white, silver and white, space grey black one. I loved the backside of the black one, but I love the white front better than a black front and that's basically the only side you see when you are on your phone. Then I thought most girls have the gold one and the silver one looked a little bit like the space grey backside, so that's why I chose this one haha!

How To Handle Finals Stress

Personally, I'm not the kind of person worrying too much about my finals because I've good grades and I know I will pass my exams if I study. However, I also know a lot of people who are already bypassing the healthy finals nerves and have turned into some kind of real life wrecking ball. I do understand that it's not easy for everyone to pass their exams and even if you have good grades, you still want to get the best out of yourself. However, too much stress might result in the opposite of good grades. This is why I decided to help some of you out today with a little anti-stress guide for your finals!

Music Videos To Watch For Fashion

Secretly we have all done it, watching a video clip simply because the people in it wear amazing clothes. Or am I the only one? Anyway, I love watching music videos and discover some new styles. Today I will show you a couple of my (recent) favorites! Becky G is one of my video clip fashion-heroes, would you like to see what other videos I watch simply because of the amazing clothes?

3 Ways To Style A Hat

Hi Guys!

If friends could describe my style, and things that I like, they would probably name hats! I love hats, they’re so cute and you can style them in many different ways. I started wearing hats like one year ago, I saw a lot of fashion bloggers and celebs with hats so it was something I wanted to try as well. Hats are great to add something to your outfit and also to cover your bad hair day. When you wear a simple outfit, just add a hat and you’re good to go!

4 Glasses 4 Styles

By now all of you are used to me wearing glasses. Recently I visited a press agency and they asked me if I would like to borrow some Specsavers glasses and of course I couldn't resist saying no. Like this I got to borrow 4 different pairs from Max & Co, Karl Lagerfeld and Spijkers & Spijkers. With these glasses I will show you four different styles/atmospheres. Of course there are many ways to rock your glasses, but here are some of my tips!

P.s. Don't forget to vote for me as the Specsavers 'blogger with glasses of 2015'! You can vote every day and you will make me very happy! This is my candidate page!

Basic & White It Is! || SUMMER FASHION INSPIRATION

Recently I'm literally obsessed with basic white outfits, they just really remind of me of summer! I am so pumped about summer and I can't wait for the long summer holiday. To help you get into your summer mood, I decided it would be nice to show you some nice basic summer fashion inspirations, starting with the one above. Are you summer-proof already? Or do you still need to do some shopping?

My Sneaker Collection

Shoes. I can't have enough of them. I love creating outfits based on the shoes I"m wearing. Especially when the shoes have a very bright color like my Nike Roshe Run Flyknits. The sneakers above are my most recent purchases. I thought it would be really nice if I could show you my entire sneaker collection, including my sports shoes, so that's what I will be doing in this post!

So My Life #1

I've tried to keep up with some personal posts over time, but it turns out to be so hard to be consistent with this. So instead of any 'monthly favorites' or 'instadiary' I decided to start a new topic called 'So My Life' in which I will chat to you about my personal life! I take photos a lot, so that shouldn't be the problem. Today I will tell you some highlights of the past two months!

Spotify Headphones || NEW IN

 

I was certainly in need for some good headphones and that's why I was more than happy when I got these Spotify headphones today! I couldn't wait to try them out so I immediately took some shots for this post and believe me the sound was amazing! They are all black and just have some green details according to their logo. I'm in love with the sound experience and they look pretty cool as well!

DIY Festival Floral Cat Ears

Have you guys seen all the Coachella pictures and videos? It’s making me so jealous! Visiting Coachella is one of the things on my bucket list. The whole vibe, all the performances and also the outfits always look so great. Besides Coachella there are so many other cool festivals. When I think of a festival outfit, I think of a Bohemian style. Lots of fringe, crop tops, shorts and flowers. The flower crown is super cute but today I have an alternative on that: Floral cat ears! 

Pharrell x Adidas Superstar

One of the greatest stars aka Pharrell Williams, who has 6.28 million followers on Twitter, teamed up with Adidas for a new superstar collection. This collection is already available in shops and I’ve also already seen many people wearing these shoes. They are also trending in the blogger-world since bloggers like Chiara Ferragni are wearing them. I really like the diversity of colors because now not everyone will be wearing the same shoes. Well.. the shoes are the same, but they have their own unique color which is totally fine if you ask me.  

Jetset Watch || NEW IN

Thanks to Lucardi I discovered the new addiction collection Jetset watches. There are tons of colors and variants including a choice between copper and metal details. I'm so in love with all the colors and I received this pretty pastel blue color a couple of days ago. The regular price of this watch is €49,99 but right now it's on sale for €19,99! This is a huge discount and if you keep in mind the quality I think it's the perfect deal for a new summer watch! Click read more to see more pictures of this adorable watch and a nice quote!

Bean Boozled Challenge Gone Wrong Featuring Lisa

So one day Lisa and I decided we would torture ourselves and do the bean boozled challenge. Well.. see the results for yourself! It was a lot of fun to film this video though and we also recorded another video for a new series about which I will tell you more later. Also don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel to see my new videos even before I post about them on this blog!

Classy Hat || OUTFIT

Also I really like the color combination with lighter colors. This white blazer, for example, is my go to summer item aka must-have. It will make almost any light-colored outfit look stylish. Then what I like about my new pants? Well.. they make my legs look longer! And my shoes are just the bomb. Check it out by hitting the read more button!

I Designed A Dress For School

For our final art project at school we had to choose two out of six projects and do them. I immediately picked the fashion design task, without thinking any further. Believe me, it was so much fun to do, but I can't sew, we don't have a sewing machine at home and my grandmother lives on the complete opposite side of our country. So I had to figure that out. I sew an elastic using the zigzag technique on the inside of the skirt by hand, which was the most difficult thing ever. I made some sort of corset from nettings and covered it up with tin foil. I made a skirt on top of the pink one with iron wire and wadding. Luckily it turned out pretty okay. Even though I had many great other plans with the skirt which kind of failed :D

Thick Curly Dry Hair Guide

Yup. I'm definitely one of these people with terrible hair. I didn't dare to wear my hair loose for years, but once I knew how to treat it right, it has improved so much that I'm now even confident wearing my hair loose. Of course I still have these bad hair days, but not even close as many as before. My hair is thick, curly and dry and I'm sure there are others with the same hair problems as me, so I thought it would be nice if I could help at least some of you out by sharing my experiences with this. Let's get started!

Feathers || OUTFIT

Hi guys! I recently wrote about my spring essentials and about how excited I am for spring. Unfortunately the weather isn’t great, so I have to wait with wearing my spring outfits. I seriously can’t wait to wear my converse shoes, white jeans and denim jackets.. This jacket I wore kinda reminds me of Spring though, the color is really cute as well as the print. I took these pictures in an incredibly beautiful building, it’s so clean and minimalistic. You can’t see it on these pictures, but I was on the 11th floor which was quite scary! Let’s have a look at my outfit.

Nike Roshe Run Flyknit || NEW IN

It's already a while ago since I received a gift card from Zalando. A few days ago I finally decided to use it. I already had my eyes on these pink Nike Roshe Run Flyknits for a while, but never actually tried them on nor ordered them. I decided I would give it a shot and I've never felt better: they are perfect. They are even prettier than I thought they would be and I think these will be my biggest must-have this summer. Hit the read more button for some more eye candy photos of these shoes!

Okay, before I keep blabbering about some random things: click read more to see the entire outfit! It's pretty amazing!

My Favorite Fashion Week Looks Fall/Winter 2015

Balmain

Milan, Paris and London fashion week just came to an end, which means we have a lot of new fashion insight for the next fall and winter. Even though I'm not invited to all these amazing cities, I can revise the images afterwards and show you my favorite looks. I really like to spot new trends this way and to see what fabrics are going to be hot in the next seasons. I even get to see my favorite designers and brands online, like Chanel, Roberto Cavalli, Marc Jacobs and Balmain. All styles in this post are from a Ready-to-Wear Fall/Winter 2015 fashion show. Oh and I love them. A lot. 

Spring 2015 Essentials

Hi guys! The temperature is rising, the flowers start to bloom and I am so ready for spring. I’m done with the cold weather and even though I like big and cozy sweaters, I’d like to change them for cute blouses right now. To get into the spring vibe,  I collected 5 of my Spring essentials for you.

Then I will help you on your way in this post! I will give you some awesome (and easy!) ideas which you can apply to your everyday style.

Get Into The Spring Mood!

Next week I have, and I'm sure some of you will have it as well soon,  a test week and this can be very demotivating and depressing. However, if you have something to look forward to and if you just make the best out of it will all be alright. This is why I thought I would just distract you from learning with a nice little post on how to get the ultimate spring or summer feeling (whatever you like haha)!

Colorful DIY Necklaces

Lately I've been obsessed with Pinterest and thanks to guest blogger Jill I rediscovered this awesome web page. When I was browsing through my feed, I found some amazing necklaces and I decided to recreate them and the nice part is: you can make them too! It's an easy and cheap solution to expensive looking and awesome necklaces. Now: let's get your hands together!

DIY Spring Room Decorations

Here's another happy spring video! I was still doubting if these decorations are better for spring or summer, but since it's spring I decided to call this video like that haha! I'm showing you 3 awesome DIY's for your room! Most of them are very easy, but for the one with the DVD's I recommend someone to keep an eye on you since little pieces might fly away. Or wear glasses :) Anyway, I really hope you are going to like this video because I've put a lot of effort in it! Let me know what you think and if you are trying out something! XOXO Anna

4 Spring Outfits

 

| Top | Shoes | Trousers | Necklaces | Watch |

 I'm back with another Spring inspired post, this time showing you 4 optional spring outfits for different styles. The one above is very girly yet casual. Unfortunately I've been ill the last few days. I really hope I will get better soon because I've almost got a test week at school, in which I basically have my final school exams. In May I have my central exams and I can't believe that's it for my high school career haha. Still I'm so pumped about next years studies! In what year are you right now?

DIY Distressed Jeans

Exciting! This is my first video in a long time. I used to make some videos when i was younger but that was years ago. I know, this video isn’t perfect yet, but I’ll work on that! In this video I show you how you can distress your own jeans. It’s not that difficult but it takes some time. Distressed/ ripped jeans are totally hot right now. I really love them as well, it gives a nice extra touch to your outfit.

I hope you’ll enjoy this video!

HEMA Press Day 2015 || EVENT

Oh. My. HEMA. This press day was literally the most colorful press day I've ever been and that's why it doesn't fit in Gosh, or Gucci, or whatever. I've seen so many inspiring items and hopefully I will get you inspired as well with this post! I took pictures of many awesome goodies which are not in the stores yet. They are all part of HEMA's spring/summer 2015 collection. I was excited to see these items and when I saw them I was flabbergasted. Hit the read more button for an exclusive inside in HEMA's Spring/Summer 2015 collection! It's amazing. Promise.

Birthday Party Ideas!

Hi everyone! I’m so excited for this post because I really love all the ideas. Today i want to talk about birthday parties, and not those basic parties. I’m turning 16 in a few months so that’s why I was thinking about this. I wanted to throw a nice sweet 16 so i went searching on Pinterest. I’m totally addicted to Pinterest right now, it’s such a great way to find inspiration for basically everything.

Blurry Wood || OUTFIT

If you follow me on Instagram, you have probably already seen my new coat because I was wearing it when I visited the performance ANNE. I must say I really love the fit of this coat and I would love to have more long coats because they are simply amazing. Also it's easy to look stylish because they are a true statement piece. I'm also wearing my new glasses from Polette, which I still love so much. Click read more for more photos!

Polette Glasses || NEW IN

After walking around with the same glasses for a while, I decided it was time to get a new pair. I discovered an amazing online eyewear shop called Polette. I immediately fell in love with these wooden luxia black glasses and decided they should be mine. It was very easy to order on their site and I love the frame! It looks so nice. Personally I really like it when the frame is not 'all-round' and stops right in the middle, this way the frame makes you look less harsh and more friendly.  

Opening Addy Van Den Krommenacker Pop-Up Store Amsterdam || EVENT

Yesterday evening I went to a really nice event with Zoe. We went to the opening of the Addy van den Krommenacker pop-up store in Amsterdam. It's located at the Bijenkorf at 'de Dam'. It was really nice to meet Zoe and it was also really nice to finally meet Addy in person. I already saw him at his celebration fashion show a few years ago (I had the perfect frontrow-view) so I couldn't wait to go to this event, even though I had struggles finding the perfect outfit ;-).

The Future Is Bird || OUTFIT

This weekend I finally took some outfit photos again with Senna. I know her for a while now and somehow her photos always turn out really nice. I'm wearing some of my new clothing items and of course my favorite shoes right now: my Adidas Superstars II. I love to wear an all black outfit with these bright white sneakers. I'm wearing my new prescription glasses from Polette as well, about which you will read more in two days. Make sure to hit the read more button for more photos!
