Dons & Diva's

Last week I went to the first edition of Dons & Diva's in Amsterdam. I was invited by the talented designer David Paulus. I haven't seen new work of his and the other designers showing, so I was happy when the day was there!

I was barely alive after a crazy work/party weekend(thank God for make up) but still went to do the report. I missed my fashion partner in crime, especially inside, when we were all waiting to see the catwalkshow. I know women can be bitches, but black women are the worst: I always tend to forget this, and ALWAYS get reminded at events like this. Looking at you with the evil eye, while bitching about you to their even bitchier gay friend. Or maybe this was a bad case of bitchy resting face, I don't know. All right enough frustration gossip(did I mention she was an ugly biatch?;) and of to the shows. 

I really liked the shows especially the ones by David Paulus and Rbel! Ellen Willink was the first to show, with her original eco fashion. After that the edgy , and well styled, show of Rbel. followed. Carmichael Byfield showed one of his previous collections, but I never mind watching male models strutting their stuff on the runway. Especially in fabulous outfits. And the final show of the night, was the 'No Name' collection by David Paulus. I immediately fell in love with the Anna Wintour print!

Summer, white & gold

During the summer, my family loves to organise BBQ's and garden parties. I normally don't wear white too often, let alone wearing it from head to toe! Well, almost. For this outfit, I combined a white, transparant blouse with white hotpants. A big trend are the big, golden chained necklaces. I love this chunky, yet stylish addition to this outfit! And no, I have no asspirations of becoming a rapper ;)  What do you think?

Red, White and Denim

It's a miracle; the sun is out in Holland! I had a meeting today( yes on a sunday, I know), and we decided to have this in the sun! I wish we had more sunny days like this, because I miss wearing cute skirts, shorts and dresses!

Summer Beauty Musthaves

The summer has officially strated, so I wanted to share my favorite summer beauty products with you. So here you are, my secret summer beauty basket! ;)

Getting Summerproof 
First I like to prepare my body for the sun with a scrub. I love this one from Rituals. Smells and feels good, and leefs your skin feeling extra soft. Next up, I have my beauty musthave 8 hour cream  by Elizabeth Arden. I mostly use this as a lipbalm, I hate dry lips.

 Summer Hair
Then my mustahve hair products. I love this sea salt spray by Toni&Guy; It gives my hair texture and smells so damn good. The Mythic Oil by L'oreal leaves your hair soft without weighing it down. And helps to protect your hair against the sun.


Summer skincare
When it's sunny, I like to protect my skin a little bit more. This suncreen spray by Biodermal is perfect! I have a very dry skin and this cream hydrates my skin, whithout leaving any tracks! I wear sunglasses ofcourse, but when it's sunny I like to hydrate the fragile skin underneath my eyes. This Time Miracle Eye cream by Madara is great!


Summer make-up
When the sun is out, I don't really like to wear too much make up. But when I do, I like to use the Prolongwear concealer by Mac and the Velvet foundation by Christian Drummond. It leaves your skin looking flawless, without looking to 'make-up ish'. And for that perfect glow, I use the Saùde Pele Radiance Booster by Christian Drummond.

Summer nudes
The nude trend...I love it! On my lips as on my nails! The Perfect Rouge by Shiseido is most def my favorite! It brengs out the rest of your face. The Effet 3D Lipgloss by Bourjois is a great gloss to add to the pink collection.  And the nude nails...I chose this one by Catrice beacuse it isn't too expensive and I love the color!


So that's it! Let me know what your favorite summer beauty product is!
