Life is fun if you want it

Living life with a moto is always better. My new moto is Life is fun if you want it, as it says on my newest arm candy by Mathias Chaize. I bought this cute little bracelet at Anna + Nina, a cute store in De Pijp with lots of original and cute gifts. I had like a million bracelets to choose from but this one stood out the most. Ever since I’ve been in Amsterdam, I realised how much fun life can be and that I’m the only one who can make it that way. I can’t let my happiness depend on something or something else.

Another life moto: You don’t have bones of glass, you can take life’s knocks. Because sometimes life can be sh*t… But we just need to realise those little things making it that shitty aren’t that big of a deal at all. But stubborn as I am, I tend to ignore that fact. That’s why I couldn’t resist buying this framed quote, also at Anna + Nina. Oh and of course, I finally got my Cheap Monday sunnies! Like them?

Amsterdam Diaries #9: Q-Night & Day

qnightandday

Ever since Q-day, I’ve been quite the forgetful girl. For example, I totally forgot to share this amazing experience with you guys! No fancy shmancy DLSR pictures but some good old iPhone pics to show you the orange madness. On Queensnight, we went into the city with several bottles of rosé and joined several parties outside. Once they were closing up, we (drunk) walked all the way to Westerpark to end up at a terrible party. So back to the city it was. Anne and I still ended up in Chicago Social Club and that was just what we needed to end a perfect night.

Queensday was quite the opposite of party hardy. We slept in, watched television for four to five hours to see the crowning of Willem-Alexander. By the way: Maxima looked freaking gorgeous in that Jan Taminiau! Afterwards, we headed back into the city – bottles of rosé still by our side – to party in the Nine streets and Spui. We ended the night early, ate some pizza and went to bed to work the day after.

It was one hell of an experience and I couldn’t imagine a better person to celebrate it with than my girl Anne-G! Thanks hun ^^

Win a Wimdu voucher worth €150! – CLOSED

The sun is out, the birds are singing and you’re just craving to get away from home. Why not spend a weekend in lovely Amsterdam (or another charming city)? You know you won’t regret it. But wait, you still have to book a hotel and all that jazz? Hmm, that sounds both horrible and exciting at the same time. I love hotels, I really do… but an actual house in the city of choice, is just something totally different. Even though I already live in Amsterdam, I was so excited to be sleeping in a real Amsterdam loft. Creaky wooden floors, brick walls and a small garden: pure perfection!

My Belgian blogger buddies and I booked our humble loft via Wimdu, which is simply better than a hotel. And I’ve got some good news for you! I can give away a voucher worth €150 for you to book a sweet little Amsterdam/Berlin/NYC/Paris… house for the weekend! Your dreamhouse is worth more than €150? Then you can just use my voucher as a discount code! Whatever suits you best ^^
