Press

That's my colleague and me at the opening soirée of Amsterdam International Fashion Week! Photographer and friend Simon Bosch took these images and send them to a few magazines, like ELLE and Miljonair. Saweet! But the nicest part for me was to show these images to my grandmother. She gave me the green ostrich leather handbag and I’m so happy with it… It’s a real vintage beauty and I wear it proud! With this LBD and Bulatti jewelry, it’s a great eye catcher!

Next Monday's Hangover

Last Sunday, Overdose hosted its very first own festival: Next Monday's Hangover - Out in the open (named after their weekly night life guide). The hangover is slowly fading away now and I can truly say: it was exactly how a festival is supposed to be! The weather was perfect, the crowd was beautiful, the music was good and the vibe was extremely relaxed.

One of my favourite DJ’s Joris Delacroix played a wonderful set, while the sun was shining right in my face. Pure enjoyment! And I even had a great time while sitting on the side, just watching all the pretty people walking by. Seriously, I did not see one ugly person!

Besides dancing, the people were chilling in bathtubs (with cushions), sharing cocktail buckets, getting their faces painted and shopping at one of the fashion booths. I even scored two amazing hand-painted bracelets, a great souvenir so I will never forget this lovely day.

Gay Pride

American Apparel is super gay friendly! They just gave me this t-shirt for free and I wasn't even buying anything!! Tomorrow it’s Gay Pride in Amsterdam and this is their way to support that.

American Apparel believes that sexuality should be celebrated, not condemned. They believe in freedom, expression and equality, things that are inherently condemned in the prohibition of gay marriage. After printing a few hundred Legalize Gay t-shirts for a rally near their factory in downtown Los Angeles, the company received thousands of requests from people all over the world who asked for them to expand it.

Apparently they did and they were handing them out in one of the American Apparel stores in Amsterdam. Unfortunately I’m not in town tomorrow, but I’ll wear it anyway. Legalize gay!
