When dressing yourself you want to send out a certain message to the rest of the world. Whether if it is intentional or not, your style does say something about you, and this can be either positive or negative. Most people do dress with a certain intent and already have their signature style, while others may have a signature style to the rest of the world, but they actually are not sending out the message they really want to send. Like it or not, you will be judged by the way you dress. Even if you think that people should know you first before they judge you, they can’t see your personality first. That’s why I have summed up ten things you want your style to say about you when people see you, and how you can do that. Continue reading “Ten things you want your style to say about you”

In extension to last week’s message of the week for the Monday Inspiration series, I have found an inspiring video of Oprah Winfrey on YouTube with a very powerful core message for all of us: have a dream and belief for yourself. This is a longer video than you would expect for this series, so grab a cup of tea, sit back, relax, watch and learn. Video of the … Continue reading Monday Inspiration: Have a belief for yourself
Fashionista’s like to look good, that’s a fact. Most of us want to be a certain size while we’re at it, because we want to be able to fit in the latest trends and show off our toned bodies and curves as much as we can, in a tasteful way that is. As a nutritionist and a fashionista/ stylist I have the knowledge to apply both healthy eating and styling to my own life. My main mission on XX Fashion Diva is to share that knowledge of fashion and style with you, but every now and then give you some tips and ideas on food and diet (that’s why I created this category). Because food (nutrition) is the basic of everything in life. In order to look good you have to feel good. And in order to feel good you have to eat well and nurture your body.

Sometimes it’s nice to dress the theme of the party where you’re going. As a Surinamese girl I love listening to dancehall & reggae and I visit the nr 1 party in that category in the Netherlands: Jamrock. In 2011 there was a ladies theme so I decided to dress up for this event and paint my nails with the Jamaican Flag. Welcome to Jamrock! … Continue reading Flashback Friday: Welcome to Jamrock 2011
Taking pictures in the fitting room is a good way to see how clothes (dresses) look on you: front, side and back. Loved this dress mainly because of the print, but in the end I didn’t get it. But I will always have this photo. Continue reading Just a photo up
A very beautiful quote that might take some time to understand, but for the dreamers and go-getters among us it is pretty obvious.
