Quality over quantity (review ichi-E)

Hi everyone! Today I had dinner at a Japanese restaurant called Ichi-E. The prices were a bit steep (about €18,50 per entrée), but they tasted absolutely wonderful. The salmon and beef were perfectly cooked and full of flavor.

Spontaneous act (review Duke of Antwerp)

Hi loves! The other day I randomly took the train to Belgium with of one my friends. We went shopping at the Meir and had a blast at Forever 21. On our way home we were a bit hungry, so we decided to have dinner at a restaurant near the station. We both the  rumpsteak with blue cheese and sweet potatoes, and ordered a side of potatoes. I think the meal was very tasty, although the blue cheese was a tad bit overpowering.

First fashion internship experience

An essential part of completing my undergraduate degree was to (1) write my capstone and (2) either complete an internship or community project. Although I studied economics and sociology I have had the tendency to relate my study to the fashion industry as much as possible. One way in which I succeeded to do so was to research topics in this field that can be related to one of my courses. Because it was not required for the internship to be related to my capstone—merely related to your field of study—I saw this as the perfect opportunity to get some hands-on experience in the fashion industry. Although it took a while to find an actual internship partner—because my internship requirements were a bit different from the standard—I ended up at a fashion agency named DEUXDIX where I had the time of my life.

Neon Bargains (OOTD)

Kebaya (blouse/jacket): vintage, Primark: top, belt, Flea market: jeans, Marc by Marc Jacobs: flats

My apologies for being on the lay low.. I've been ill, thus in bed most of the time. Still haven't recovered completely, but that's another story.

Minty rose (OOTD)

Just went out for icecream today and a stroll around the neighborhood :)

P.s. Trying to get rid of Intense Debate, but I can't seem to get my regular comment section/form to show up when I uninstall it.. Any ideas would be really appreciated. ^^
P.p.s. I switched the top from black to white when I went outside -- no legit excuse other than I was in a hurry and couldn't find the black top, hehe..

Sniffing Black + Goodies (OOTD)

Despite of walking around with a minor cold during the day, which turns to terrible at night, today I went out to help a friend in despair. This is what I chose to wear.

أنا مشغولة

أنا مشغولة = I'm busy

First time at Vapiano's

Three more weeks and I will be graduating from AUC, إن شاء الل. I've been very busy with school (Arabic Intermediate), working, and to top it off... being ill.!! I've been dealing with an on and off fever for a week now, lower back pains and a runny nose. Signs of 'griep' my mother claims. Anywho, I've to get back doing important stuff, ciaoo...

Pink glitter platforms (DIY)

Jeffrey Campbell Lita's were definitely thé shoes of 2012. I had been obsessed with them since earlier on though, having my eyes on a grey suede pair and a limited edition denim version. However, these booties did not come with a cheap price and were not even for sale in the Netherlands. Because I did not want to risk ordering the wrong size I never placed an order.

AUC graduation 2012

After three years of blood, sweat, and tears. Countless sleepless nights, headaches from having to read and write too many academic papers, and let us not get started on those dreadful core courses such as logic and statistics. We had already been looking forward to our graduation the first day we started university. Because we were the founding class no one had any idea of what graduation would look like, where it would be hosted, or whether we would be required to wear a cap and gown.

To eat or not to eat?

Uitsmijter at Majestic

Oh my guilty pleasure of indulging when it comes to food.. Have to quit it soon though and become BUFF, cause my body ain't gonna stay tight forever.. *sob sob* Warning, lots of foodporn!

Makan Pasar Malam '12

Hi loves! Yesterday I visited the annual Tong Tong Fair in The Hague. This festival (also known as Pasar Malam) is filled with festivities and performances that are related to Indonesian culture. I honestly only ever go there for the food! This year was definitely my favorite out of all times, and I especially enjoyed the grilled fish.

Buff it out

Such a cute skirt by H&M fashion against aids-collection

The weather has been crazy beautiful the past few days, which is a shame because my fellow students and I are still in the process of finishing our papers etc. etc. for this semester. Meaning that we are not really allowed to go out and get our tans on.. Writing my final paper for Violence and Conflict as we speak, bear with me..

Tiny dinner #5 (review Supperclub Cruise A'dam)

Last year I posted about my experience at the other Supperclub location in Amsterdam, which was my first time at a SC restaurant. The difference between the two is the absence of a club at this location, which is probably because it is on a boat. Again, upon entry one is welcomed by friendly staff members who show you to the bar to wait at before being seated. This bar (on the upper deck) looked very comfortable with huge black pillows to sit on. Unfortunately, there were not enough of these couches available for the number of guests. After finishing our drinks we were seated in a bright white room, filled with white pillows. Inevitably, we had to take our shoes off.

Going Dutch/It's murdaaah

Finished it.!!

I'm doubting whether I should start blogging in Dutch as well... Just a test run here.. Anywho, I finally handed in my Capstone Thesis and am one step closer to graduation. That means... shopping for some killerheels and a dress, oh happy joy joy.! Unfortunately I've to hand in 2 papers before the end of next week ¬¬ So no partying for me.. YET. Oh and my translation is really loose, hehe... Meaning I just translate things to how I would say them in Dutch.

Fuck dem horses, snakes FTW

I seriously need a pair of these in my life. Too bad I don't have a normal sized earhole.!!

Romance makes you fat

I can see light at the end of the tunnel.. And it'll all be worth it..

Burn it up

Dinner at New King, where else? Not very wordy today, my apologies.

Brought color to my life

Bought some very optimistic items to add to my S/S wardrobe. Optimistic as in, they're expecting the weather to become as nice as it was on Queensday very soon.

Western luxury (review Momo)

I have never made it a secret that I love to stuff my face, which usually leads to an euphoric feeling from inside. (addicted much?). Although being a nut for fashion I would much rather spend my money tantalizing my taste buds. When in the position of doing so, I definitely do not think twice about paying more money for better quality food. My only requirement aside from good flavors, is that I should leave a restaurant feeling content and get value for my money. When I had dinner at Momo, courtesy of my so, unfortunately I did not feel completely satisfied leaving.

Bitch I'm fabulous

Yes, definitely a 9gagger in the house haha... On a different note, I'm so excited for spring.!! Like my new tights?
