After our visit to the 10.000 Buddha’s Monastery, we continued our day trip with a visit of the Hong Kong Heritage Museum. Again very easy to reach by MTR. It is a short walk from the MTR station in which you cross a footbridge. And there it is: the Hong Kong Heritage Museum. We went for […]
An hommage to pink and to Diana Vreeland
You gotta love Diana Vreeland! What a wonderful, eccentric, original woman and thinker she was. Her quotes and one-liners are both strong and quirky. Here’s one that speaks to me: “naturally, I adore pink. I love the pale Persion pinks of the little carnations of Provence and Schiaparelli’s pink, the pink of the […]
BoHo Gypsy
Being at home in the Netherlands these months -so no travelling- does not mean I cannot LOOK like a Wandering BoHo Gyspy;-)! I felt for an extravagant boho look today. Do you like it or is it too much for you? And since we are talking about fashion now anyways, I was featured today with […]
Holland: fashion shoots and fun
So, as I was telling you, I somehow never get to blogging when at home in the Netherlands. In my previous post I explained that being busy with catching up with friends and family is one of the reasons for that. Another activity that keeps me busy is doing fashion shoots and having […]

Opening H&M in Singapore. Fashion frenzy!
Back home, in the Netherlands, H&M is one of my favourite shops. So I was very happy to see H&M (Hennes & Mauritz) finally opening a store in Singapore. Apparently I was not the only one;-). The opening and the shop’s first days were an absolute frenzy; crazy! For weeks the swedish chain had been […]
Singaporean phenomena and appearances
The women here pay much attention to and spend a lot of money on their nails: painting, decorating, gel nails. This applies equally to their toenails. My friend Celeste asked me a few weeks back if I wanted her to apply gel nails on me for her gel nail course I said no, since I’m […]
Fair skin, a hot item in Singapore.
While I make an effort to get as tanned as possible, in Singapore “whitening” is the magic word. You can not open a glossy or walk around in a drugstore here without coming across countless pages and articles about whitening or find shelves filled with “whitening” products. The goal is not only to get or remain as […]
People watching
In our neighbourhood, the CBD in Singapore, it is always crowded on workdays. Lunch break. In an underground shopping mall under one of the office towers, workers at lunchtime go out for lunch, shopping, walking and chatting. Others sit above ground on benches in parks, etc. Large crowds move around, particularly during peak hours such […]
