and off to the kunsthal

Friday - 11th of June - Rotterdam

Finally we can go to the museum again, after months of lockdown.

We missed it.

A few weeks ago we booked our first 2021 museum visit, we start at the Kunsthal, where we went for the last time in November.

We were treated to some nice exhibitions in the Kunsthal. Erik Matthijsen's exhibition is by far my favorite, i love his style, colors and objects.
I discoverd his work for the first time at the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam in August 2019. Piece by piece colorful and inspiring paintings of everyday objects.

We celebrated the first museum visit in 2021 with a 'delizioso' italian lunch at Osteria Vicini.

So happy with these 'returned joys of life'. It feels so good to be able to do the things that used to be so normal...

slow fashion & sustainable souvenirs

Even before the term 'slow fashion' existed, I was already acting this way.

I always preferred original, beautiful and quality fashion to enjoy in a responsible and sustainable way.

Developing a personal, timeless style, is essential to avoid getting sucked into the madness of chasing after the latest trends.

Many items of my clothes- and shoes collection I already have for years, sometimes more than 20 years.

Although some of you might see me as 'Imelda Marcos', in reality it is not that excessive.

The same rule as it comes to interior objects. I try to follow the sustainable style, by buying for example timeless interior souvenirs.

Fashion fades, style is eternal - Yves Saint Laurent

Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality not quantity. - Vivienne Westwood

CABANA Magazine is about intimacy and explores that close relationship that every person has with interiors. Not only grand rooms but odd corners, exquisite details and the objects that make a room feel personal.

'Each issue is a journey through obsessive collecting, colors and fabrics brought to life with luscious photography that will inspire you to discover a new world.' - C A B A N A magazine -

The cover itself is already worth to get a C /\ B /\ N /\ , each one has a unique fabric cover.

This issue was a birthday gift for Henk from our newlywed friends and it adorns the 'new' harlequin table. Muchas gracias M & S!

kimono

About the kimono, I was wearing at the wedding of our friends last Saturday.

I received a lot of questions about my kimono. I often get questions about my outfits, but this time it was quiet 'extreme'.

I bought the kimono a month ago as a wedding outfit at Anna + Nina.

I'm not a fashion blogger and my motto is; be a voice, not an echo...

After the wedding we went to Eindhoven for lunch and a drink and visited the ever-inspiring PHE factory.
