Accidentally I saw somebody tweeting this vid, very sad. It made me realize the danger of driving and texting at the same time... You should definitely watch it, if you haven't already.

January Jones features in Versace’s Spring/Summer 2011





















January Jones features in Versace’s new Spring/Summer 2011 advertising campaign which was shot by -one of my favourite photographer- Mario Testino!

Donatella Versace said: “I am always on the lookout for the next Versace blonde… and in January I feel I have found a perfect Versace woman for the twenty-first century. She is chic and elegant but deeply sensual too – it is a ‘dramatic’ combination.”

The black and white photographs and hair and makeup reference the spirit of the Sixties, which is appropriate as January is best known for her role in “Mad Men”.

The advertising campaign will feature bags, shoes, sunglasses and optical frames from the Versace Spring 2011 collection.


Who would've been your pick for brand ambassador for Versace?

Lips or eyes? Arms or nose? Online flirting compliments


A man who a woman the court wishes, has the greatest chance of success if he compliments her about her "beautiful lips". A new international study of opening lines by men used in online flirting sets this.

This advice is if the man does not know what the nationality of the woman. If the woman is a real Dutch woman, he will score the best with: "You have beautiful ears!" (Really.) This is the result of a study conducted by Badoo.com (The most common opening line was:
"You have beautiful eyes"
, but the sense that the world's best response received was: "You have beautiful lips". However, in some countries other opening lines were more successful.

Carine Roitfeld, why do you leave French Vogue?

















“It’s 10 years that I’m editor of the magazine, I think it’s time to do something different,” Roitfeld told Cathy Horyn at the New York Times. “When everything is good, maybe I think it’s the time to do something else.”

What will Carine do next?
I have my own idea. Maybe she will do something intresting with Tom Ford...

Who will replace her?
very difficult to say I think... Would probably be someone who already works at Vogue Paris or another insider of Vogue worldwide...

What do you think?

Downtown New York

Yesterday I went downtown with the subway all the way to the Staten Island Ferry.
The free ferry, which goes by the statue of Liberty. The statue doesn't look that big from a distance actually...
I think only if you really stand next to it, it looks huges.

After the fun trip I visited Wallstreet and Century 21. I knew Century 21 already from three years ago, you can find, if you search good between the much crappy clothes, pretty nice things!

I bought a Calvin Klein bra, Seven For All Mankind jeans, Starbucks jar, pair of socks, and IheartNY luggage tag & cup.

New York day 1

After three hours waiting at JFK for border security, I made it!
My second time in the Big Apple, it feels like home to me.

First I had you know, the Pakistani taxi driver, driving crazy fast likes he drives in a Ferrari.
And second of all he all, the entire ride, he talks in his native language, so busy with his telephone calls...

But! Immediately when I drove into Midtown I saw the Conde Nast building, my dream employer.

After getting the hotelroom, which is like 1 minute walk from Times Square, I went outside and rediscovered Times Square. Wow it has changed since the last time I've been there (december 2008).

So this upcoming week I will probably post about my New York trip. If you have tips for shopping/eating/must-see please comment.

Nikki van der Velden, editor of Dutch Photography magazine, is the first Dutch photographer who exhibits on the iPad. Until January 11, her portrait series "NYC Connected 'can be admired with the free app iPad TechFish, where the screen rotate pictures on the background of the app.

The 42 portraits were made in October 2010 in New York and are part of the series "American Heroes" which will be exhibited in December 9, 2010 until January 16, 2011 at The House of Rising in Amsterdam. Nikki van der Velden: "I am fascinated by people and their stories. At all the photographs in NYC Connected people made rings, twittered, facebooked or texting. That makes curious, although it stays guessing which story is told. Let it especially to your own interpretation."

Shopping and watching people, the most loved activities at airports



Wednesday I am going to New York City! My second visit to the big apple.
I'm looking forward to shopping, Central Park, Broadway, MoMa and many other things-to-do :).

I found an intresting research about what we like to do at airports.


"What do you prefer at an airport while waiting for your flight?" This question was asked this week to 500 customers in a telephone survey.  # 1 shopping, 52% of respondents replied they like to dive in the duty-free shops.


The most popular purchases at an airport are perfume (38%), cosmetics (24%, books / magazines (15%) Sunglasses (12%), liquor and cigarettes (4%) and other articles (7%).

The most popular activities after shopping are in order of popularity: food and drink (21%), people watching (10%), reading (6%) internet (5%) watching airplanes (3%) and talking about the trip (3 %).

The reason why internet is not higher in the list, is due to the fact that free Wi-Fi is not available at all airports.

I like to shop and watch people at airports... What do you like to do?
