Feeling not so blue!

So that's why I put the first picture in black and white! 

But this outfit is blue, blue, blue! This is actually what I wore on my birthday (which is already a week ago! damn time flies!). It is another casual outfit. Are you getting sick of those yet? But I wanted to wear something easy as we were going to the seaside. That means: walking, eating and shopping! So comfy was the way to go. However, comfy doesn't mean sweats in my book. I wore this silk Massimo Dutti top I bought in Madrid and I really like it but I learned that it doesn't work to well with a cardigan on top because the fabric then rises up and you get a bit of excess fabric around the neck. And as you can see silk does creases pretty fast!

The second bracelet (from the top) is from Just Julia! The others I got as a present from my aunt so I don't know where they are from.

Top and cardigan: Massimo Dutti, Pants: Abercrombie and fitch, Shoes: Converse, Bracelet: Just Julia, ring: Tiffany and co, glasses: Armani (Since quite a few have asked).

The turning 23 post got such goods responds I'm thinking about doing a bit more of those personal posts. There were a lot of questions about me moving to LA. Would you want an entire post on that subject? Let me know!!

Happy weekend guys! Hope you have a good one.

Xoxo,

A quicky new post!

This was another location on or location spotting list. I actually really fell in love with this one. Especially the park surrounding it and not so much the indoor part. So we wanted to rent a big tent but we are probably just going to pick a location where there is a gorgeous in and outdoor part. Because lets be honest a tent means that there should be extra restrooms also outdoor, an outdoor kitchen for the catering,...

So just do damn difficult (and expensive!). But it is a beautiful location!

Simplicity with leather details

Last week we went to another location for the wedding that might be the one!

If you are getting sick of me talking about it, just shout! 

So you are getting a sneak peek of it here. If we decide to go this way then you will get to see this beauty entirely!

Turning 23 so let's get personal!

I totally just said that 'let's get personal' in the tune of 'let's get physical'. 



As I'm turning 23 today (this should have been posted yesterday but I had some blogger problems) I wanted to share 23 facts about me, myself and I. And as not to make this post to boring I added some pictures!



First fact: My birthday is may 9th! Today!! (let's not count that fact)

Meet mini-me! 

Spicy thai beef salad

Nom Nom Nom!

I love thai food! It is my favorite kind of tummy-filler. You can never go wrong with thai food in my book. It also is the type of food I most enjoy preparing. 

I love making spicy thai beef salad especially when the weather is getting better and a plus my boy loves it too. This thai beef salad is spicy but also very fresh! 

Recipe: 

Ingredients: 

Sauce: 

-  Lime or lemon juice (I prefer lemon)

-  Palm Sugar (about two tea spoons) 

-  Fish Sauce ( a few drops)

-  Soy sauce ( Add this to your likings. I add about 1/6th soy sauce and 5/6th lemon juice)

- Garlic (2-3 cloves of garlic)

- Ginger (about 1 inch or 2-3 cm)

- Red pepper (and I love adding some sambal to spice it up even more) 

Salad: 

-  Red onion ( I don't like raw onion so I always pass on this)

- Cucumber 

- Tomato (I prefer grape tomatoes as they are sweeter)

- Fresh Coriander (Yum yum: I always had lots of this)

- Basil (optional)

- Mint (a must)

- You can add some regular salad if you want to. 

- Some bell pepper if you want to.

-  Steak

1st step: 

Mix all of the ingredients to make the sauce together. The main ingredient to the sauce is the lemon juice so see that you get enough of that! Put a bit of fish sauce (not to much as this has a pretty strong taste). Add some soy sauce and then put the garlic, ginger and red pepper in it. I always add some more spicy spices in there just to give it that extra kick. You can put two tea spoons of palm sugar in it to make it taste a bit sweeter.  

2nd step: 

Slice all the ingredients for the salad and mix them together. And then pour the sauce over it. Mix it real good as the sauce tends to go to the bottom of your serving plate.
