THE PULLING EFFECT


Today we are heading off to Santa Gertrudis in search of something delicious something like a chocolate dessert with a luscious coffee. Standing at the opposite side street in Santa Gertrudis facing an all white and red restaurant. I felt a sudden pull to this restaurant; something was telling me that this is the place that will fulfil my chocolate desire. 
This place was practically empty, it was just a woman and child, and she seems to be finishing off her coffee, what looks like an espresso judging by the size of her cup. Greeting us was a gorgeous young woman who was very welcoming with her smile. I instantly felt an attraction towards her. I told her what I was in search of and voila it was possible. 
The dessert was suppose to be a trio of chocolates; dark, brown and white chocolate mouse which had to be surrounded with melted chocolate sauce, but since I am not such a big fan of white chocolate I had to request my own concoctions. 
The dessert was just out of this world; I was having a chocolate orgasm.
Too bad the coffee didn't turn out good enough for the hostess satisfaction, so we received the coffee on the house. Some coffee houses will sometimes not be so considerate, you will be serve bad coffee and will be charge three euros fifty for filthy coffee....I will definitely return to GK restaurant and to see my lovely new friend. I’ve forgotten her name, shame on me, but the contact has been made.

STRIPE AND THE CITY IBIZA






Today we are heading to the city of Ibiza for a spot of shopping and lunch. 
I choose to wear Breton stripe with my everyday havaianas, because they are the most comfortable slippers ever. Stripes never goes out of style, such a classic. 
We look through shops after shops… I love visiting shops it seems like it gives me such a boost of energy; the satisfaction is more in the looking than the actual purchasing. The stylist in me gets excited.  Adding onto the outfit is my newly purchase wide brim hat, since it’s quite a sunny day. In the end I did purchase a lovely black studded fringe bag, which you will see later.

We are revisiting In&Out Restaurant Fusion Asiatic where we ate the previous year at the Place des Parque since the food was so good.  I choose for prawns with vermicelli, very disappointing since I found it was tasteless but under the other hand the dessert was so delicious, dessert of tarte-tartin with ginger ice cream. Nom, nom, nom

After departing the city we were heading north to Sluiz www.sluizibiza.com.
Sluiz is amazing lifestyle conceptual store there you will find everything from interior to fashion. We enjoyed a delightful smoothie. I made a new friend doesn’t his horn suit me? Later on in the day we embrace the sun and ended the day with dinner and sunset at Elements www.elements-ibiza.com at Benerias beach.

BLACK BUTTERFLY DRESS FROM ILKA'S VINTAGE SHOP




I am wearing the dress I got from Ilka's vintage shop www.ilkavintage.nl for today’s shoot.  White smock dress with black details of butterflies. The length is short enough to wear as a top and long enough to wear as a dress. We found a few locations for our shoot. Afterwards we had a bit of lunch to refuel on energy for the  interview with Ilka. 
She is very happy in her shop, she has the shop for almost 3 years. Her shop is her second home; decorated with tear sheet of magazines showing off her creative side. In her shop you find details of dried roses, “A girl who like roses" showing a bit of her feminine side, a vintage red patent Chanel make-up bag, a gift from a client. Her shop is welcoming and open, she is friendly and warm, she makes you feel at home. 
She loves fashion but she is not a follower of fashion.
While sitting with Ilka many clients walked into her shop and they were buying customers. Hippee…Most of her clients are international.
We carried on talking about life, business, kids and so on. 
She is definitely a free spirit, I guess a bit like me. 
Check out Ilka Vintage Shop whenever you in The Hague whether you want to sell off your items or just add a new item to your wardrobe. 
Thank you Ilka for my lovely dress.

SUMMER CHIC




I am excited about today’s shoot, new location exploring backdrop colours of the Sahara dessert. I am wearing a dress I bought at Floyd's Woolshop boutique on the Prinsestraat 34 Den Haag.   Floyd’s collection improves yearly and I have been shopping there for years.
Today I embrace my inner Goddess, wearing a Grecian style inspired dress.The beautiful silk feels secondary to my own. The shade of my hat protects my face against the sun and yes it's fun.I am wearing small gold plated chains on neck; on my wrist I am also wearing my own handmade semi-precious stones bracelets, which is part of my bijoux collection.Next week I take a closer look into Ilka’s vintage shop...I have seen some lovely pieces and I am now already excited about next week Friday's interview with Ilka.

SHADES OF BLUE DEN-HAAG






Today is a very warm day, it feels like it's the first real day of summer. To keep it fresh I chose to wear shades of blue which reminds me of Essouria in Morrocco.  Blue is Essouria's colour.  Got on my bicycle and on my way to meet a friend. Today it's feels like holiday I love it when the sun shines in The Hague.
