The sun is out...

Dear readers,

FINALLY, the sun has shown its face here in The Netherlands and I am loving it! Enjoying every single minute of it...or at least almost every single minute :) I mean, I got lots of other stuff to do these days.

Anyway, couple of days ago I went out for a drink with my boyfriend and his mom. Here proof of our lovely afternoon :)

I am wearing trousers from Zara, top and necklace from Topshop, bracelet from Michael Kors, sandals from Marc O'Polo and sunglasses from Guess.

What are you up to these days?

Love, Melissa

Epke Zonderland!

Dear readers,

Today was such a good day for the Netherlands: two gold medals and two bronze medals! Currently we have 5 gold medals, 3 silver medals and 6 bronze medals. We are now ranked a 10th place in the classification of all countries which participate at the Olympics...GOOD JOB HOLLAND!!! And I am pretty sure we will earn some more medals :)

Today it was Epke Zonderland's time to shine on the high bar and boy...did he shine! I now know why he is called "The Flying Dutchman"! And after watching the pic below, I am sure you know now too! :)

Such an astonishing accomplishment! Congratulations Epke!

Which athlete are you proud of?

Love, Melissa

A day in nature!

Dear readers,

Today was a holiday and so my boyfriend and I decided to go to a park for a stroll (something we actually never do, but definitely want to do more often!) and I was absolutely stunned by the beautiful nature which Holland has to offer. It is funny to me that wherever you live in the world you don't appreciate the beautiful things as much as those who come there on a visit. Feel me? But today was not one of those days! When I stood on this skyhigh viewing tower I was breathless! Here is why!

I assume you agree with me on this :) If not, let me know lol! So this was in a park called "Utrechtse Heuvelrug" which was formed during the so called "Ice decade". If you are ever in Holland it is a nice park to visit when the sun shines. Afterwards we went to this amazing restaurant with a beautiful terrace where we had a lovely lunch and some drinks :) Great day!

Do you guys ever go for a walk in nature? Which parks do you like to visit?

Love, Melissa

Dutch models!

Dear readers,

I always feel such pride when I am reading a magazine and see photos of a Dutch model. I think Dutch people in general are really pretty and I think people in the fashion industry think alike, because a lot of Dutch models are featured in magazines, on billboards and of course on the catwalk.

I thought it would be fun to show you some of my favourite Dutch models. I would love to hear your opinion about them! Here we go!
