Away from keyboard | Offline blog activities

Are you missing Wendy too?! Love reading her travel posts and I am glad that she is having a fabulous time on the other side of the globe. But I can't wait to have her back and see her rock her usual blog posts again :) For me, this is the last time posting here as her guest blogger. Thanks for having me Wendy!!!!! And thank you darlings for reading my posts and the sweet messages. It was fun to do this!!


For this last post I wanted to show you a peek in my blogger life of the past 3 weeks. 
Who is watching The big bang theory as well?! I got this title from Sheldon’s abbreviation ‘AFK’ (away from keyboard). I think this is an excellent title to show you all my offline blog activities.
While my Instagram account covers a big part of this already, it still doesn’t show you everything that is going on sometimes, because I don’t want to spam my Instagram followers too much. So I try to combine the bi-weekly instagram summary with some extra photos to have a peek in my life when I am away from my keyboard working on the blog. 

1. Shooting with Virgit (Preppyfashionist.com)
A shoot in Rotterdam after the ‘I love Fashion bloggers’ event. My first night shoot. Virgit did such a great job, capturing this look and the surroundings. I love love love this shoot! Check out the post here.

2. Ready to Fish for Colgate event

Colgate teamed up with Ready to Fish and designed a very comfy sweater. I attended the launch of this collaboration with fun activities. There was a styling contest, styling the new sweater. Also, there was a smiling & catwalk workshop with a studio photoshoot. The event took place at the amazing Ready to Fish brand store in Amsterdam. It was raining cats and dogs that evening. So, after this event I quickly changed into a casual outfit with the comfy  sweater for a quick bite.

3. Shooting date with Formula (FormulaFarah.com) I am following this persian beauty for a while now. I finally met Farah the other day at theMeuq.nl launch. We decided to plan a shooting and lunch date. I am so glad we did! We talked for hours with the most delicious scones at ‘De bakkerswinkel’!

4. A gift from Steve Madden

Steve Madden knows how to make girl happy! My very first bloggers gift that is send to my home. Every first is special right?! Check out the badass heels that I got, here.

5. Shooting at Westcord Fashion hotel Amsterdam

Virgit and I had the opportunity to shoot some chic dresses at the Fashion Hotel. It was the perfect location for this ‘assignment’. The first time for both of us to shoot indoors. Thanks Westcord Hotels for providing your beautiful space for this shoot. I can’t wait to show it to you next week. Check out Virgit’s first look, here.

6. Rolling Kitchens Amsterdam

A festival in Amsterdam with delicious food selling from the most cutest and the most orginal food stands! That I cannot miss of course! ;) My favorite? The dirty ducks! Than again, it was impossible to try out everything to make a proper statement. Next year I should go every day instead of just one evening.

7. Shooting date with Larissa (fromhatstoheels.com)

So much fun shooting with the girl with the gorgeous big hair! I can’t wait to shoot with her again. She has the best ideas of how and where to shoot and had an eye for every little detail. First post is up on the blog already, check here. Tomorrow you will see the second look she shot ;)

8. Shooting date with Lauren (Lachanna.com)

I met Lauren during my vacation in Mexico. We had so much fun together that we stayed in touch, back in The Netherlands. We met up again this week for a ‘double-sushi-date’ with our boys. Of course we couldn’t pass the opportunity to shoot together. I am starting to enjoy photography a lot more! Especially when I see the end result when the blogger is actually posting the pictures that you shot!

10. Shooting with my boyfriend

I am very busy trying to make my blog shine these days. That means less time sometimes with friends, family and especially my boyfriend. Lucky enough I can combine these two often. We love to explore Amsterdam by bike and trying out some new spots. Yeah I can really enjoy these kinds of quality time with him. In between all this we make time to shoot my OOTD, but food remains the essential part of our date :) 

10. Shooting date with Iris (Adashoffash.com)

I have met Iris a few times now during some events. She always seemed like a clever sweet girl. This week we met up to shoot two outfits in Amsterdam and I got to know this interesting lady a bit better. Love meeting bloggers like her, they keep me so motivated with their passion! 

That's it! I hope you liked all my post here at 'Fabulous Style WS'. Thanks for reading darlings!!!!
