Normally I do everything by car, but due to my busy schedules, Thalys is really the solution!
As you might know, I live in Rotterdam and from the Central Station I can take the Thalys to Antwerp, Brussels or Paris.
Last weekend I had to be in Antwerp for work. Unfortunately, I had a fairly busy week that week so I did not want to use the car. I have decided to go to Antwerp with the Thalys, from Rotterdam CS it is only 30 minutes in the train to Antwerp Central Station. With the car I would be on the road for an hour and probably would not arrive as rested as I do with the Thalys. I was also able to easily work that 30-minute journey time.
As you now know, I had a pretty busy week behind me. So I chose to travel with Thalys in Premium class.
Please see the benefits of Premium below:

Brussels, just one hour away from Rotterdam with the Thalys.
But once you arrive you can’t compare this city with Dutch cities.
The city is amazing and because of the French language you really feel that you are on vacation.
Especially now with during Christmas time, it makes it even more amazing!
After booking your ticket at Thalys, it start to find the best hotel in town!!

I love the jewelry and I love the fashion!
My Jewellery opened their 4th store in The Netherlands!
You’ll find Maison My Jewellery in Arnhem!
The special opening started at 16:00 and I left around 19:00.
I met some great people and all the employees from MyJewellery are so lovely!
They had some nice food and drinks served! Lots of Sushi and I started to fall in love with a drink what I never tried before! IBIZA ICE!
**** Those Festival times
Oh, I miss the summer time but the winter time is also really nice with the lovely party outfits!
LAKEDANCE
But please keep in mind that next year you need to buy your festival outfit at My Jewellery!
It was quite tough for me to choose the outfit. Because on a festival you need to wear some summer outfits. Unfortunately, I am not living in Spain anymore but in The Netherlands.Which can be quite difficult, because it can be cold, windy, rainy etc.
And don’t forget, during the week the temperature is amazing and during the weekends it’s cold and rainy!
But it doesn’t really matter this time because I was rockin’ this festival in the Flower Bow Dress from My Jewellery! To make my outfit complete I chose for the Multicolor Ibiza Bag, the Summer Love Hat and some nice bracelets and necklaces.
After all I chose for my Sendra boots because these boots are perfect for festivals, because they are handmade and leather boots, so it will always stay good.
Another outfit during the evening because the temperature was going down.
I chose for a blouse with the Striped Pantalon Black and my Isabel Marant Bart sneakers.
This was so much fun because the weather was truly amazing (I mean, without rain)
Thank you so much MyJewellery and LakeDance for this amazing day!
**** 7th SUNDAY
Sunday, what to do on Sundays? That’s always my question. But during summer time there are plenty things to do. But last Sunday I had nothing planned, just go for an ice-cream with my little niece Rosa.
Waking up, everything very slow… coffee, breakfast etc. etc. Around 11:00 o’clock my lovely friend Anouk sent me a message, if I had any plans for today. No sweetie, not really. Do you want to join us at 7th Sunday Festival with My Jewellery? OK, sound great but most people know that I am not really a big fan of last minute plans… thinking thinking….. Sound perfect to me but at what time do you need to be there? She told me half past one. Oooohh noooo, already 11:30 and it’s a one-hour drive, I wasn’t home at the moment, that’s not good for my brain. LOL
AND OF COURSE, WHAT TO WEAR? Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time to change my outfit as I wasn’t home. But after all, my outfit was good
We arrived at 7th Sunday. The whole My Jewellery team was there!
Time to go to the VIP area! The team of My Jewellery was almost complete and we started with champagne! Great spot, nice view, nice music and of course NICE PEOPLE!
Just a little reminder for your guys, if you are still looking for a festival outfit, have a look at the My Jewellery webshop. You find amazing outfits and of course the festival essentials! www.my-jewellery.com
Champagne, wine, snacks and a lot of fun makes us dancing on the tables! We stayed for a while on the VIP deck but after that we went downstairs to explore the festival! It was just like a small village! I had a lot of fun!
Why do we choose for the city center?
Rotterdam Noord is booming!
Brasserie Nieuw Noord is a stunning place for a delicious breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a drink!
The food is amazing and interior is absolutely adorable!
It’s a beautiful place to sit on the terrace and enjoy the lovely weather.
I love this spot in Rotterdam Noord!
I truly enjoyed the lunch and my coffee over here.
I love the interior and the people and could work with my laptop.
Last week I had a dinner date with a friend and we were both saying:
”Lets go to Brasserie Nieuw Noord”
We enjoyed our dinner and you know what? Finally we could hear each other..
The music is fantastic even as the volume of it.
And of course… the bar.. I LOVE IT!

I can swear, I can joke
I say what’s on my mind
If I drink, if I smoke
I keep up with the guys
And you see me holding up my middle finger to the world
Fuck your ribbons and your pearls
‘Cause I’m not just a pretty girl’
I’m more than just a picture
I’m a daughter and a sister
Sometimes it’s hard for me to show
That I’m more than just a rumour
Or a blog on your computer
There’s more to me than people know
Some days I’m broke, some days I’m rich
Some days I’m nice, some days I can be a bitch
Some days I’m strong, some days I quit
I don’t let it show, but I’ve been through some shit
I’m more than just a number
I’m a hater, I’m a lover
Sometimes it’s hard for me to show
That I’m more than just a title
Or a comment going viral
There’s more to me than people know
Antwerp, just an one hour drive from Rotterdam.
But once you arrive you can’t compare this city with Dutch cities.
You really have the feeling that you are on holidays.
Beautiful city, lovely people and don’t forget the Flemish.
Yes, that reminds you that you are abroad.
But it’s not just that one hour drive, it starts to find the best hotel in the city center.
Don’t look further because if you are planning a citytrip to Antwerp,
you must book a room at Hotel FranQ.
It’s a brand-new luxury boutique hotel in Antwerp, next to the ‘Onze-Lieve-Vrouwe Kathedraal’ and the Meir.
And you know what? In the past, the building was a bank. You can still find the details in the cellar. For example, the big safe from this previous bank.
Hotel FranQ is a 4-star hotel which is located in the city center of Antwerp. You really can see that this hotel is brand new!
I am in love with this luxury boutique hotel.
Because, when I arrived at the hotel you really feel like a queen, the decoration, the design and the furniture, everything is just perfect!

Restaurant FRANQ invites you to enjoy a contemporary French-Belgian cuisine at gourmet level. Their chef will spoil you with à la carte breakfast, delicious lunch or stylish dinner. Their team is always ready to make you enjoy tasty food. After a hectic day you can also enjoy these delicious dishes in your room.
BAR FRANQ
Bar FRANQ serves the best wines, delicious cocktails and pure coffee or tea. In addition to these delicious drinks, they have a delicious assortment of finger food or sweet treats.
Personal attention and love for the subject is self-evident. The excellent service, individual approach and overall experience are paramount.
Is there something special? They invite you to have lunch or dinner in their sixteenth century ‘Den Dooren Boom cottage’ or in one of their other stately rooms.
They also have a lovely terrace outside where you can enjoy the sun with a good glass of wine or champagne.
Unfortunately, there was no sun for me but just rain.
A city trip, many people would like to go abroad but don’t forget about Maastricht!
This is one of my favourite cities in Holland because you feel like you are abroad!
The people are so kind and the food and drinks are fantastic.
But it all starts with a hotel first! Don’t look further because ‘Haas op het Vrijthof’ is the most amazing hotel in Maastricht! This luxury boutique hotel has it all!
Luxury in a House full of Wonder Haas op het Vrijthof was built in 1920 and became the private residence of a well-established lady. This Art Nouveau house is a serene home away from home, situated in the quiet corner of the main square in the rich centre of Maastricht. The mansion is a piece of design in itself with its own amazing character and style. For the interior the focus on functional aesthetics is based on vintage classics and typical Scandinavian furniture pieces. In combination with modern-day travel wishes, it all results in a unique house filled with a wonderful collection of design, friendly details and happy people.
A selection that adds to the experience In their house, you feel you are not staying in a usual hotel. It is a place where you are treated as being a part of it. During your stay, you are the inhabitants of the city, living on the Vrijthof. They supply you the keys for seeing the real city and experiencing a place where you can feel at home. Their comfortable living room overlooking the square is where you can work, enjoy breakfast, read a book, enjoy a cup of coffee or just sit down and wonder.
Their breakfast is personally made and you can tell them your preferences. They present it influenced by their regional producers and underneath two charming glass bells. It can be served at any time of choice and wherever you prefer. May it be in their room, our living room, your private terrace or even their kitchen. You are free to sneak down to their cellar and open your own private wine shelf to taste a selection of wines from the region. You have the opportunity to wind down with a chilled bottle in your suite or room.
I chose the Superior Suite!
The name says it all. This suite is superior. The suite is a unique accommodation with its grandeur feel caused by the space, used materials and facilities. The salon room in this suite with Art Deco style is decorated with an old copper fireplace from 1920 and gives you a panoramic view on the Vrijthof. Furthermore, the Superior Suite contains a comfortable fully-equipped kitchen connected to the private green terrace. Two bedrooms are prepared with three comfortable beds in total. There are two bathrooms and one bath. Graceful ornaments and a combination of hardwood floor and stone contribute to make this suite delightfully eccentric and very special.
120 square meters – private salon room – fully equipped kitchen – private terrace – bathroom with bath – copper fireplace – 1 double master bedroom and 1 single bedroom – free internet access – well stocked mini-bar – bathrobe & slippers
The Superior Suite has a private elevator stop in the suite.
No idea what I could expect because they only have 3 pictures of this room on their webpage.
But when I opened the door of the room, one word: AMAZING!
This has nothing to do with a basic hotel, it feels like your own apartment and 120 square meters is not just a basic hotel, isn’t it? This is truly amazing!
The host was really helpful and show us the high topics of Maastricht! He asked us when we would like to have breakfast etc.
After a good sleep in their lovely beds it was time for breakfast at 09.00 AM, they served the breakfast in our room, in our kitchen! Isn’t it fantastic?
I truly recommend you this hotel in Maasticht because this luxury boutique hotel has it all!
