hello monday


It so happens that this year tangerine and all other shades of orange are the colour of choice. But every year on April 30th orange covers the streets of the Netherlands (and the Dutch Caribbean Islands), celebrating Queens Day. Of course, Amsterdam is the place to be to party the day away, on the canals, with loads of music and dancing. Here in Curacao, we all head to the colourful buildings in Willemstad and enjoy the street markets. 
Have a lovely Monday and a splendid Queens Day.

(gosh, I wish I could look this put-together and chic on the boat)

It's back to the office after a very windy and sunny weekend on the boat.
It's getting warmer on the island (yes it is possible) and we're looking forward to an activity filled month of April. Have a great one (day, week and month).

Smile loads

Good morning and a wonderful week to you.
I hope you had a fun, laugher-filled weekend.
Mine was filled with great moments, many smiles, loads of paint and even some champagne.

This week: yippie....we're flying off to Boston on Thursday. A city I have not had the pleasure of visiting yet and very much looking forward to exploring (I even hear the weather is going to be reasonable).

I wish you an exquisite week.
Smile Loads.

Good morning lovelies, I hope you had a splendid weekend filled with a ton of smiles.
Last week was a bit hectic with a launch event at our office, my official graduation and a great deal of relaxing yesterday. I hope to be sharing a few photos from the launch event later this week when they come in.

Have a romantic and happy week, filled with exquisite moments.

Thank you all for the wonderful comments.
It is always such a pleasure to receive them.

Good morning and welcome to another wonderful week in January.
This weekend I was feeling a bit under the weather.
(I was well taken care of though)
Today things are looking up, which feels great.

Am loving these shades and designs by Dior. Incredibly feminine as always.
Visit Dustjacket Attic for the remaining images; Paris is featured in such a lovely way.

Have a beautiful week.
May it be filled with flowers, butterflies and loads of smiles.

Good morning and welcome to another wonderful week in 2012. I often say that I miss Europe or any big city for the wonderful nights out and parties one can have there (as to say that here on the island it some-times feels as if we are somehow missing out on that). I have to say that yesterday I was one of the lucky ones to enjoy an amazing party on the water. Boats from Aruba and Bonaire joined us in Curacao for an epic Fuikdag. I danced for 6 hours on a yacht to great music (this boat has a sound system that should be in a night-club), surrounded by great people and of course delicious champagne. Today I miraculously woke up full of energy (ok, I was in bed by 9pm, exhausted) and enjoying all the great pictures and video's people are sharing. If ever you have a chance to be in Curacao for Fuikdag, I am sure you will have the time of your life as well. Today it is back to healthy eating, getting loads of work done and simply enjoying. 
 Have a splendid week.
Smile loads.

Good morning and welcome to the first beautiful Monday morning of 2012.
For some of you still a wonderful day off and for others (like myself) the work week has started.
This week though we have an spectacular party to look forward to; Fuik Dag.
On Sunday we all head to Fuik for the party of the year (yep all that Christmas and New Years celebrating just isn't enough for us.....we close of the season and open the new year with an amazing beach party).

Have a splendid week.
Laugh much.
Smile loads.
Enjoy all the wonderful things this year will bring.

It is a gorgeous and cool December morning (a whopping 20.4 degrees....winter in Curacao...). I had an amazing birthday weekend, filled with great lunches, delicious dinners, loungy beach days, a bit of partying and a beautiful breakfast (ohhh and wonderful gifts and birthday wishes....thank you all for this).

I hope you had a splendid weekend and are preparing for the wonderful christmas festivities coming up. 

Have a magical week. Enjoy every detail. Smile often. Laugh much.

Enjoy the week.
