The River Island holidays collection styled by Esmeralda Attema

Hi Lovely reader,

This weekend it’s Christmas!
Oh my i absolutely adore the Christmas DAYS,
Yes in Holland we’ve got two days of Christmas.
The second day is just like the British something like boxing day.
This year, the first day of Christmas, we will be at my parents house.
We will have diner together and trying to catch up with each other.
Because of our busy schedules we don’t see each other that often.
At the second day of Christmas we are going to visit the in-laws.

After Christmas i have 1,5 week left to celebrate my vacay (hi Valencia).
It’s definitely a luxury i have 2 weeks off.
That’s very a common thing for teachers in the Netherlands,
as i’ve mentioned before we have 10 weeks off in a year.
The summer vacation is the longest one,
estimated 6 weeks.
But it sounds spoiled i know,
but as a teacher you absolutely need
a few weeks of once in a while.
I’m always exhausted when the vacay is nearby.
This time i’m not that out of energy,
i guess because of my surgery a couple of weeks ago.
I was at home for recovery for two weeks.

The next two weeks i’ll use for the preps for our next house.
I want to arrange and organise my wardrobe,
it’s a disaster at the moment.
Besides that i have a lot of work to do
and ofcourse i want to launch my new theme.
But i’m not sure when.. it needs to be perfect.

But first things first, about my outfit.
The River Island holidays collection styled by Esmeralda Attema.
I adore River Island,
it’s such a classy and trendy brand.
I am thrilled i can show you this collab.
The dress is a lace floral dress.
I love the material and print of it.
River island has a great festive party dresses collection.
To add an edgy touch to this look,
i added these gorgeous chunky lace up boots.
And they fit very well, i can walk for miles on these boots.
But if you prefer an other kind of fab ankle boots,
River Island has even more.
Once in a while you definitely need to spoil yourself.
