Raak Amsterdam 2012

Posted on March 21, 2012 in: Amsterdam, De Pijp, fashion, wear it|4 Comments

Yesterday evening I went to a fashion show of “Raak Amsterdam” in the westergasfabriek in Amsterdam with (and thanks to) my dear friend Godelinde.

And what a great time we had! lovely space, beautiful people all around and more beautiful people around. Nice music, cloth, colors- a real treat for a girly night out.

Although it’s not my style, I enjoyed it very much. Sorry for very poor photos. I discovered that its very difficult to take a decent photo when the subject of the photo keeps moving…;-)

* You will have no problem to recognize the photos that I’ve taken, the good ones are from here and here.

Drawing challenge: connection

From all endless connections I’m surrounded with, the one that seems more relevant to this challenge is my “sisterhood” connections. The one’s I treasure so dearly; my girl friends, my blogger friends…:-)

Surprise from above

Beautiful spring, sunny day was last Sunday. We went out to one of our favorite places: Elswout.
While enjoying the nature around us, we heard a loud sound and suddenly a cloud of color was above our heads. I don’t what going on with me and birds lately and parrot in particularly- but there he was-a gorgeous, colorful, huge parrot landed on the tree next to us.
Strait from a National Geography film….:-)
