Blogiversary: celebrating my first post on XX Fashion Diva

How time flies! Exactly one year ago today I wrote my first blog post on XX Fashion Diva. That makes today my first Blog Anniversary. Blogiversary! If you have followed my since the beginning, you would know what post I am talking about. The idea of starting this XX Fashion Diva blog came to me on March 5, 2014, a few months after I started my XX Fashion Diva Facebook page. For my first post I wanted to share something that represented me and get my readers to know the most important fashion fact about me since this is first and foremost a fashion blog.

The Slow Jam of this week is all about that. Joe tells us the way it should be in his song All the things (your man won’t do). Continue reading Saturday Slow Jam: All the things

A touch of African Queen on Kingsday

On Saturday April 26, as you can read in my previous post “Open Air Boutique on Kingsday”, it was the first Kingsday in the Netherlands. I also shared with you that I participated on the free market with my cousins by presenting our own Open Air Boutique. After a fun day of releasing my inner sales person, I went to Amsterdam city with my best friend. Since it was Kingsday I wanted to dress appropriately, with a royal touch, and so I did. With my natural curly hair it is always a bit of a task to get a proper hairdo, and I didn’t feel like taking on this task that day. Instead of spending half an hour getting my hair done, I choose to go African chic with one of the trending items of today, the headscarf. Continue reading “A touch of African Queen on Kingsday”

Open Air Boutique on Kingsday

Last year on this date, April 30, it was the last Queensday in the Netherlands. On this day, April 30 2013, the crown prince Willem Alexander was crowned King of the Netherlands, meaning the national holiday Queensday is now Kingsday.

This is because April 30 was the birthday of the late former Queen Juliana, and also the date her daughter, crown princess Beatrix at that time and now former Queen Beatrix, was crowned Queen of the Netherlands. Queen Beatrix kept the tradition of the national holiday Queensday on April 30. But since King Willem Alexander is crowned, this holiday is changed to April 26, given the fact that this is his birthday, even if he was crowned on April 30 also. So last Saturday April 26 we had our first Kingsday. Continue reading “Open Air Boutique on Kingsday”

My Closet, My Fashion Stories

I am the Queen of Dresses

In my first post I wanted to write about something I love with a capital L. Dresses! My favorite piece of clothing, because it’s one piece, fancy, feminine, pretty and easy. I have a closet filled with dresses, so many that I even have an extra clothing rack which is half full with dresses. My favorite color is black because you gotta have those LBD’s. Just call me “The Queen of Dresses.”
