Dolce and Gabbana, Forever 21, H&M, Prada

On the road

I have been on the road for three days past weekend, supporting one of my favorite bands, the AdrianoBaTolba Orchestra. Eutin, our final destination might not be the sexiest place on earth (aka, it's in the middle of nowhere and you wonder if there is such thing as a fox and a hare to bid each other goodnight at all...), but it is THE place to be if you are working some Blues tunes.

And hell, they boys did! Above you find a little road map of all the destinations (four cities in three days, check!) and some favorite Rock 'n Roll heels that I packed. Despite I have to say: the only thing you really need, is a bunch of patches to cover your blisters from dancing and loads of stamina, because these guys not only can play: they can party like world champions as well.

Big X!

Happiness

Read in a poll recently (and I suppose most of you gorgeous ambitious ladies out there will approve...) that our super busy schedules encourage us to boast about having no time. At all. Running from one appointment to another (heels and a rush = blisters you know the story...), constantly increasing the pace of life, we take less and less time to pause and just take a minute to embrace the moment we are in. Those precious minutes, just you (and some quality heels), which we call “stolen moments” but are indeed bridges towards (how Pharrell Williams of me): Happiness.

Well, indeed it doesn’t take much. A sunny day, a beautiful peaceful place, good company and voila: you are in the middle of a song. I suggest you get your perfect companions for some soul dangling here and just take a break to enjoy wherever you are and whatever you do.

Have a super happy Monday everyone!

United Nude

Beauty United, United Beauty

Back from London, where I visited United Nude's stunning flagship store, am still twirling in Rem D’s genius design: the Hybrid shoe, have barely taken them off since. It’s one thing to be spoiled with a pair of designer heels, another though to fall in love with them over and over again by wearing them. Certainly the diamond-shaped surface of the brightly colored piece of art helps win over the heart of a heel princess but it’s the comfort really (soft rubber... who would have guessed) which makes them an every day summer staple ready to turn heads wherever you go.

I knew about Rem’s architectural background and also about the more private story of wanting to win back the heart of an admired lady by downsizing big constructions to the most tiny and delicate pieces of design: a woman's heel. I’m almost happy that he got his heart broken back then: with his timeless and visionary talent he has certainly won over mine now.

Thank you Rem for making my (heel) day!

Love, Hope, Faith

Whenever in need of a special detox day is (very much appreciated after all the partying whilst celebrating Kingsday in the Netherlands) I head to the Dutch seaside to enjoy nature and get back in touch with the pure elements.

Just taking the heels out on a relaxing stroll (balancing like a clown on eggs in the soft and moist sand), feeling the gentle breeze of the Dutch wind (probably wind force 10) and wearing nothing but a lace dress to make sure the sun can gently caress your skin (which you won’t feel because the stiff breeze is almost blowing you out of your Guccis): what a great idea!

I assure you, you will feel absolutely sober and rejuvenated afterwards and definitely HOPE you never have to do this again, LOVE the idea of going home and cuddling in blankets, and have FAITH that one day, ONE day you’ll learn to dance on the beach in heels and not look like an idiot doing so. But well, detoxing is overrated anyway. Where’s the next party?

Love is in the air, flowers everywhere

Amsterdam can be a city with the character of a cat. Weather-wise that would be: really smooth and at ease but just when you think all is good - the claws come out. And I’m just saying that because I’m prepared for everything, any time (aka have my rubber boots with me for that sudden bout of rain - ALL THE TIME). But gosh, the city is beautiful when the sun is out, the claws stay in, and nature does what it does best: getting flowers to bloom wherever you go.

I mean, who would even consider staying inside, and not going shopping for some flowery dresses to flatter that mood? Who would even think of hiding in boots rather than the heels that invitingly smile at you to walk them under trees spoiling you with a shower of petals? Who could not see the beauty?

You just go there ladies. The first step in heels outside your door, with that dress too bright and short, and those heels too high to walk on grass: Spring is in the air, love everywhere!

My Big Fat First Brazilian Wedding

Although I knew that Brazilian weddings are huge, I had no idea what to expect when arriving at our almost last destination in Brazil: Curitiba.

On the private acres of our generous hosts (including three houses of relatives, own forest and horse stables) a tent is being built. A tent? It’s more like they're building a rock star concert stage (think Beyoncé), with a chapel built from scratch, dance floor for 800 people, buffet, bar, lounge and toilets that are bigger and more luxurious than in the Four Season's. Ah, and there is a glittery Miu Miu heel indicating the ladies room which I definitely would have snatched away (so beautiful!) had I known where the second one was hidden (it was my size!). And the party people! So glamorous and stylish I guess every red carpet would turn green with envy.

Had to plunder the mother of the bride's closet (thank you Danie, I will be forever grateful), since the flowery dress I brought suddenly didn't seem like such a good idea (patterns ladies, so NOT Brazilian wedding....) and I knew that the designer of the brides-dress (couture!) would be present personally. And yeah. That was all before I ruined my new pair of heels by dancing the night away with all the happy wedding crowd in the most beautiful setting ever. What a night to remember!

P.S.: Am still searching fot that second Miu Miu, but psssssst.... let's keep that our secret, OK?

Day at the Pool

We arrived in Rio de Jainero three days ago and it feels utterly surreal to be here. So much beauty, such a different scenery, so many impressions! Our hotel is located directly at the beach, with the most gorgeous view you can imagine. I wonder if someone secretly told the organiser of our journey what to provide to make us happy, as champagne and a pool with the most gorgeous view await us. The sun so bright (aka unforgiving, aka revealing every beauty failure, aka when the hell did I actually grow a mustache???), the colors so intense, the vibe so lively!

You quickly adjust to being a “Carioca” which in Brazil means to just be happy about life, to feel free and be authentic. Well, I must say it’s very hard to resist that mantra (in my case feeling very authentic looking like a cheesecake amongst all the tanned Brazilian beauties) when being pampered and spoiled so nicely.

Let’s go and pop that champagne, ditch the heels and clothes and just hang at the pool and celebrate life, please! But first I will give myself a proper Brazilian. On the face that is.
