Mongolian Fur uhm... Fluff Collar

Styling my new favorite dress in a big way, the light blue mongolian fur collar seems massive but that's exactly what I love about it. It's so much fun adding the big fluff on slim and straight cut silhouettes and to tip toe on glittery socks and glossy platforms!

Coffee O'Clock with VELOURS NOIR {plus some delicious DIY recipes}

images found via rainbowwildfox

It's coffee O'clock! I love coffee, especially now with the cold winter weather. My favorite coffee times are in the morning and when snuggling up at home after work. I have a few favorite coffee recipes that are just perfect for this season and totally easy to make at home (like a DIY Pumpkin Spice latte and Peppermint Mocha) One note; you need a very good, rich aromatic flavor to start these delicious recipes with.

A coffee I really love is VELOURS NOIR, it captures the best of aromas and flavors to create a range of delicious coffees and is made from the finest beans from the most famous coffee regions of the world. One of the most crucial contributing factors is the roasting process. In VELOURS NOIR FIRE & ICE ROASTING the roasting of the beans is instantly stopped by a shower of cold water (just like ice instantly extinguishes fire) This contrast between hot and cold helps to perfectly capture the aromas and flavors which creates VELOURS NOIR’s taste.

Here are my favorite Winter Wonderland coffee recipes for which the VELOURS NOIR FIRE & ICE ROASTING is perfect!

Homemade Pumpkin Spice latte, because a Winter without a Pumpkin Spice Latte is impossible!

Homemade Peppermint Mocha, another perfect delicious winter holiday treat to make yourself at home!

Gingerbread Latte, a Winter snuggle coffee must! 

Exotic creamy coconut coffee, this creamy coffee is such an nice exotic delicious surprise!

Iced Banana Latte, hmmm banana and latte! this is an absolute delicious treat to try!

ps. VELOURS NOIR FIRE & ICE ROASTING coffee is exclusively carried at the Albert Heijn in the Netherlands

X-Ray Monday

Happy Monday everyone. This makes me wonder if there is such a thing as a Happy Monday of course but I guess there is, for example when you finally wear this dress that you have been longing to wear forever! The typical feeling-like-a-mummy on this first day of the week had nothing to do with the skeleton choice, although it would have been a clever pun. 

I just really love the colors, the bright turquoise/blue in the x-ray print really excites me. For now I only show you a little preview of the dress because the real fun comes with styling the dress to be winter ready and I can't wait to show you how I did! I can already give one little secret. 

Although it might look like I challenge the winter and it's cold bare legged I don't. I wear what I call magic nylon tights, a trick I learned from Alice from AlicePoint. There is nothing magic about the nylons of course besides that they give some color, minimal protection against the cold and behold... they are truly invisible to the eye, I kid you not!
