Outfit | Water Palace – Tirta Gangga

Happy Friday sweeties! Today I show you a look what I shoot on Bali. Definitely one of the beautiful places that I saw during my trip. The Water Palace in Tirta Gangga. The Water Palace is amazing! A beautiful garden with a huge fountain. That day the water was higher than normal, but lucky we could still walk on the stones in the water. Of course I had to do a shoot at this beautiful place. It was really hot that day so it was hard to make pictures and to be concentrate. But Marijn did a good job!

About the outfit! I bought the whole set in Siam shopping mall in Bangkok. Haha but it’s still from the H&M and Zara :). I was looking already for a long time at a pants like that. This pants fits perfectly so I couldn’t leave it hanging in the shop. When I was walking to the cash register I saw those heels. Yes it was love at first side. it was at the beginning of my trip so I knew it wouldn’t be handy to carry the shoes with me, but I really didn’t care! The top I bought only because I wanted something differents (after 3 weeks with almost the same clothes I got bored of it). I really glad I did, but I can tell you it’s definitely one of my favorite summer tops know.

Am curious what you think of this look? and tell me which beautiful places did you saw?

Outfit | Embroidered Shorts

Good Morning! Did you saw the game yesterday? OMG we lost! So sad, I think we really deserved it! We played much better than Argentinie. Unfortunately they got lucky with the penalty’s. But Holland could be really proud with our guys! We came really far! And Saturday we give Brasil the fourth place! 🙂

Those pictures were taken in Bali, Ubud. That day we went to the Karsa Spa for a relaxt day! Karsa Spa is so nice. The location is really amazing. It’s located on a mountain with a beautiful view about the rice fields. Of course I wanted to do a shoot over there. I wear a beautiful shorts from B-Loved. The embroidered shorts are a statement piece on its own. So I style it with a simple white blouse from Loavies. This is really one of my favorite items at the moment. You can combined the blouse with almost everything. Normally I should wear heels with this look, but for in Bali it’s not practice, so nice sandals will do. The accessories I used are the famous pearl necklace and bracelet from the Zara.

Well am curious what you think about this look!

Travel | Week 5 & 6

Hi sweetied! How are we today? Sorry I didn’t post last week, but at Koh Pha-Ngan I couldn’t find an Internet cafe nearby. So today is a two weeks post. I promise I don’t make it long ;). First we going back to Bali, Kuta. That is one of the most tourist place in Bali. I thought this will be the best en fun place of Bali. I was so wrong! What a terrible place. The beaches are not nice, only if you want to surf. But laying on the beach, well I saw better ones. Going out is to busy and expansive. And the worst are the cars and scooters. They are everywhere and do they watch out no!!! Lucky the had a big shoppingmall with a Zara, Mango, Pull and Bear and many more. That was a big plus. The place Seminyak is a bitt beter. Kuta is nice for when you are 18 till 22 I think, but at mine age no. Lucky the last evening we met a local and other nice people in a little bar nearby our homestayed. So that was really nice. We went to Alley Cats and later somthing with pirates??? That was fun! Oh we did also a little excursion over there. We went to Tanah Lot. It was nice, but that day er was a big ceremoni. So a lott of people what ruined the view and to came there OMG the traffice! I think we sat almost 2 hours in the car only to get there. Haha so if you could see I’m not so positieve about this place :P. It’s get’s worse. When we wanted to gets our plane to Thailand. We almost missed it. Why? Because you have to pay 2 miljoen roepies per person to go though the gat. Ofcourse we spend al our money, because in Thailand we don’t have anything of our roepies. Credicard was not possible and my pin was not working. Lucky Marijn de pin did and we could go through the gate. But of the big line we almost missed the flight, so it was a little bit stressfull. But we made it.

And than we where back at Bangkok. We stayed at the BTS Aiys hotel with swimmingpool. So that was our entertainment that day. Not bad at all. In the evening I went to the movie A day after tomorrow with Tom Cruise. Really a good movie. The next day we had a long trip with the bus to go to Koh Pha-Ngan for the full moon party. When we finally arrived at our Hostel Ecco Beach Backpackers we where a little bit disapointed. The bed where horrible. Sleeping with 8 people at the room (That’s not a problem) met 4 beds were next to each other en above you had the other 4. It was so small. I really thought it’s a gave. Lucky we met some nice people overthere and breakfast and dinner was for free. And a big plus they had a big Cinema at the hostel. ;).

Koh Pha-Ngan is very expansive. You can tell they use the Full Moon party good. Everything is twice more than normal. so we rented a scooter for 120 bath per day. (thats 3 or 4 euros). Much cheaper than go by taxi. It’s nice to drive there only to the beach is a little bit scary, because of the high hills. But we survived. Okay and now what do I think of Koh Pha-Ngan? Well the same anwser as for Kuta. Horrible! The full moon party is overated. Everyone is drunk and stoned or high. Sorry not really my scene. The weather was really bad, so laying on the beach was usefull. There is nothing to see on the island. Really e tryed. Wanted to go to the waterfalls and view point. But there was no water so no waterfall. The view point is hard to reach, so again a great day :(. We where stuck at the hostel. So we sleep a lott and saw a lott of movies.

At this moment I am at Koh Samui. This could be really a nice Island if there is sun. But again the weather is bad! On an Island there is nothing to do than laying in the sun. We hired a scooter to see somthing of the island. But again it was a dissater. This time there was water by the waterfall. But is was hard to climb, very scared. And when we where on the top it was raining hard! So the road was more scary. i though I will dy here. Than back at the hostel we pick up our clothes by the loundry. OMG! The ruined my clothes. What was white is now pink. With a lott of blached and white pouder I saved my short. But my new dress I could trow away. After that we went to see the big Buddha. A drive of 45min to see a sculpture of a buddha. Ofcourse it was nice to see, but to drive so far no! Going out is nice here but not spectactulaire. Actually I’m a little bit done with this trip. I really counting the days! The weather would stay like this, so what am I doing here?? I love to be laying on the beach and get tan.

Today we going to Koh Tao. Everyone saids It would be nice. I think it would be again sitting in the Hotel. So wish me luck that the sun will be shinning.

Sorry again a long story and unfortunally not so positief. Ofcourse I see loveling things and enjoining myself. I thing it was more better in high season (with sun).

Well enjoy the pictures!

Enjoy your day!

Contest | FASHIONCHICK BLOGGER CONTEST MBFWA

Good Morning! When I received a mail from Fashionchick to participate the blogger contest MBFWA I didn’t have to thing about it. The only problem was how I gonna do this? I am in Thailand and I don’t have my fancy stuff with me. Lucky there is always a little fashionista in me, even when am backpacking. I brought my most beloved short from B-loved with me and my favorite blouse from Loavies. I thought when we going out in a fancy place I have to wear something fancy. And I wanted to do a shoot with this outfit by a nice place. Well Thailand or Bali is than a good option don’t you think? Well the contest is ‘what is your best look for the MBFWA in July’? I immideltely thought about this look! The short is a real eye catcher and in my opinion great enough for fashionweek. I would wear it with a simpel blouse but ofcourse with some black high heels and a Boy Bag! ❤️. Ofcourse with my Canon so I can shoot the best pictures from the shows for you.

I’m curious what you think about this look! Would it be a perfect fashion week outfit? Are you going? Yes! What would you wear? Just curious! Ps: in the picture I wear my Flip-flops because I don’t had my heels with me. Haha so please images the heels under it
