Keeping up with Kendra

Dear readers, Keeping up with Kendra. Where were you? How are you doing? Why aren’t you blogging and vlogging anymore? What are your (future) plans? A couple of questions i’ve got these days. I tried to stay on track with Instagram, but that’s hard as well. Now i’m mom everything has changed, of course that isn’t a surprise now Kendra is 6,5 months old and i’m trying to cope with our “new” lifestyle. Blogging and vlogging aren’t my first priorities. I wanted to post a blog once in two weeks and vlogging once in a month, but honestly i didn’t had the energy and time to create content. Of course i’ve had different kind of ideas, but when i was thinking of create content for my blog i was already exhausted. Kendra was sleeping trough the night with 5 months and we were so glad she did. Yes DID, since a few weeks she’s having a cold and is very hungry in the middle of the night ( we think she’s teething). Result of having sleepless nights; my migraine is back and i don’t have the energy to schedule trips and stuff. It scares me everytime it hits me. April […]

Hi lovelies, Newbornshoot Kendra Ysabelle november 2017 . It has been a long time i wrote a blogpost. As you know i’m quite busy at the moment, Kendra is absorbing all of our energy. And i love it! Here is a quick update of Kendra Ysabelle. #ourlittlebabEJ is doing beyond great, she is such a lovely, little, cute and smart baby. I can say she is the most gorgeous girl i’ve ever seen ;).. Yes it’s my duty to say it about my own flesh and blood hihi. It’s ridiculously amazing to be a mom and being responsible for such a tiny human. Of course i feel insecure day by day, but a lot of things are going so natural. Kendra is a happy and healthy baby, but sometimes she is having some cramps. She loves to cuddle and sleep. What a life, right?! For now, i am doing great as well. It’s absolutely fascinating how my body has changed and is recovering that fast. I wanted to dance so bad and just 6 weeks after birth i could join the Zumba classes. I know my body won’t be the same anymore, the stretch marks are permanent and certainly visible at […]

Peachy from top to bottom

Hi lovelies, Peachy from top to bottom. Just a quick 36 weeks update! The last 4 weeks of my pregnancy has officially started. Of course it could be 6 weeks as well (or maybe 2). Last Monday we had an ultrasound check up and she’s doing great, the latest graphics has shown us she’s ‘an average child‘. All her measurements goes by the book (for now). She was nibbeling on her fingers and her stomach was fully filled. I think she’s totally comfortable in there, she might want to stay there for a while. Honestly i hope she will make her appearance sooner than 42 weeks. We are absolutely thrilled to meet her. At the moment i am feeling really well, a bit tired and nauseas but i don’t feel pain. Last Friday we attended a wedding and it was a long day. Sadly too long for me, it was one of the rare moments i felt an annoying stomach pain. I guess it was a signal of my body to slow down. I went home earlier than i wanted to, but at that moment the best choice i could make. Fortunately we’ve shot some pictures of this handmade dress! […]

Hi sweetest reader, Pregnancyshoot 2 x Tiffany Rose 2017. Have you enjoyed our previous pregnancy shoot? I’ve had a lot of comments at my socials and was delighted to read all of them. Here is our second shoot with an other fancy Tiffany Rose maternity gown. This time we shot the pictures at “Kasteel Staverden” in Ermelo. It’s a very popular wedding & photoshoot location. The castle was build in the 15th century and rebuild in the 19th century. The area around this castle is photogenic as well, like the watermill which is located a few meters from the castle. Well, that’s enough history for now. Let me talk about the stunning dress which i am wearing below. This dress has the name: Olivia. It has a shimmering pattern and it has a “champange” colored touch. In my opinion these two ingredients adding a wow effect to this dress! Perfect for a formal party and it’s really an eyecatcher. Who said a pregnant women can’t dress like a lady anymore ;). Because i have a thing for sweetheart necklines, i’m absolutely head over heels with this model. If you’re searching for a less formal dress, maybe you can find here […]

Hi dearest reader, PregnancyshootxTiffanyRose 2017. Today i’m 34 weeks and 4 days pregnant and i thought this was the perfect moment to schedule our pregnancy shoot. The only thing i needed was a big bump, a fabulous maternity dress(es) and a stunning location. Of course the weather needed to be great as well. And how lucky we were, last Sunday we had the time to take a few pictures. In collaboration with Tiffany Rose Maternity i’ve selected a few dresses which were very convenient for my shoots. Altough i’ve received 3 three dress, for now i wore two of them. I needed to choose which two were perfect for the locations which i’ve chosen. First let me tell you something about the brand. Tiffany Rose (British brand) began in 2003 with a simple aim: to offer pregnant women the chance to wear exciting, elegant, beautiful and well-made designs for special occasions. Their designs are inspired by icons of the 50s and 60s, timeless classics that will never go out of style, with a touch of vintage or a modern twist.

Zaful wishlist Fall/Winter 2017

by Esmeralda September 04, 2017 in Lifestyle & Fashion 0 comments tags: autumn, coats, fall, wishlst, zaful

Hi dearest reader, Zaful wishlist Fall/Winter 2017. After all the summer musthaves like my maxi-dress addiction, i’m looking forward to next season. Altough summer isn’t over yet, i’m already curious what kind of coat i want to wear this fall. That’s why i’ve done some research online to check out the trends for next season(s). A lot of lambskin material it is, fluffiness is always a good idea for the colder days. Besides that army and tartan is returning (i guess every year), so always invest in an item with a tartan/plaid or army print. You can’t go wrong with these fall looks, because it’s easy to combine and the outfit will look edgier. At their website i’ve seen several items which i think it’s convenient for Fall (and winter). Suede sheep jacket Tartan coat Oversized wool paid coat Do you have any other suggestions? Let me know what kind of style you prefer :)! For now want to be the more fancy in this summer? Just do it!

Hi lovely readers, Roses are red, violets are blue, we are waiting for you! Yay, my maternity leave is here. I’m done with teaching for 2017, i will get back to the classroom after the (Christmas) holidays. It sounds for a long time, but i am pretty sure time will flie (like most of the vacays do). For now a quick update how i am feeling and what my plans are for these months. It’s week 33 of the pregnancy. I can’t deny i’m feeling tired and heavy, i have gained almost 44pounds! I know that isn’t really normal, but my cravings are massive and of course i am trying to do sports. At the moment i am (still) participating the Zumba lessons and since a couple of weeks i love to swim. When i’m swimming i’m feeling more flexible and relaxing. Till week 30 i felt like i could do everything, but now she (and i) is growing very fast, my body has a hard time to keep it all together ;). Last Wednesday we had a 3D ultrasound, how awesome! We were curious how she would look like. And now we have ‘seen her’, we absolutely can’t wait […]

Hi dearest reader, Comfy and casual with Seraphine maternity. Have you heard of Seraphine before? Serpahine is founded in 2002 by Cecile Reinaud. With her vision to revolutionise the maternity wear industry. Born in Paris and living in London since her University days, she set out to create fashionable clothes that you would want to wear even if you weren’t pregnant. Since 2002 a lot has changed. The website serves over 30 countries and Seraphine maternity clothes are distributed in stockists all over the world. Including Peter Jones and John Lewis in the UK, Galeries Lafayette in France and A Pea in the Pod in the US. In spring 2012 they’ve launched their Seraphine Luxe line, providing women with a wider choice of luxurious maternity occasion wear, as well as offering bespoke design services for exclusive international clientele. Seraphine has already dressed a lot of celebrity bumps! My choice to collaborate with Seraphine was of their diversity of styles. If you want to create a comfy or fancy look (or both at the same time), they have the items for you. Because my size is changing, there are just a few clothes left that fit. I bought a bunch of maternity […]

Dear reader, The ydillic streets of Frigiliana. What a lovely city this is! I’ve seen some pictures at Pinterest and was determined to visit this place. Altough it was very very hot that day, it was totally worth it. It reminds me of Greece, the white houses with colorful details and geometric houses. The dress was perfect for this location and occassion, very windy and Spanish. I do love the color red, it’s a strong color and of course the color of love! Andalucia is very impressive, as you might have seen at my socials and youtube. I can’t get enuogh of Spain, it has never disappointed me. So just enjoy the photo’s. That reminds me of #ourlittlebabEJ. Oh my just one week left and my summervacay is over! The good part is, i need to work for two weeks and my maternity leave will start. Hihi not that bad, not that bad at all. However i thought i will manage it all and do everything possible the last few weeks.. i can feel my energy level is getting lower day by day. My bloodpressure as well, i am feeling much more tired than the second trimester. I can compare […]

Hi lovely reader, Babymoon trip to Marbella. After a short break, here it is a brand new outfitpost. This time an outfit we shot at our Babymoon! You might have seen my special vacay vlog already, so you might know there are a few outfits coming up very soon. What a wonderful babymoon it was, just like i’ve had in mind. Sun, sea and relaxing at the Southern of Spain. The Andalucia area is more than beautiful, a lot of Instagrammable places ;). We’ve visited several cities and seen a lot of different sceneries. One of the cities which is absolutely phenomenal, is Marbella. This place was on my travel bucketlist, i was soooo curious if you would get that jetset feeling. And yes, i can say the moment we were there i had that feeling. A lot of young trendy people and the harbour (Puerto Banus) is absolutely beyond jetset. These pictures were taken at the harbour, i loved the white houses and the fabulous yachts. I was wearing a dress which i ordered at Aliexpress and the quality of the material is very good. Even my babybump fits in this dress (pssst it isn’t a maternity dress, so […]

Hi everyone!
