It's raining now, but this weekend it will be tropical. What do you prefer to wear on such a day?

A maxi dress. And a nice hat. I love hats. They complete your outfit.

And where do you prefer to sit in the sun?

Preferably on the beach. Bloemendaal. At the Republic. What I really can't wait for is that George opens in Zandvoort. They even have a swimming pool there. At DoubleTree by Hilton on the rooftop terrace, you can also sit wonderfully.

What's in your glass?

Well, nothing with alcohol for now ;) So I'm going for an apple juice with ice. Or my old-time favorite Bubble tea from A fushion on the sea dike. At the Hilton on the rooftop terrace, they have delicious homemade lemonade with roses and fresh fruit. Really very tasty.

If you could step onto a plane right now, where would you prefer to go?

To Paris. I love Paris. It's not far at all, you can get there so quickly, so I try to go there a few times a year with my boyfriend. When I'm there, I have to have lunch at Laduree and I always order the truffle omelet. In the evening, we first have a cocktail at hotel Costes and then eat at l’Avenue. We always sleep in one of the many small boutique hotels.

You have such a unique taste and style. Do you have some nice shopping tips for us?

Actually in Maastricht. At Stijl. She now has two stores, Stijl Wyck and Stijl. I always succeed there. She has exactly all the good brands under one roof. I come home with bags full.

Back to Amsterdam, where is a good place for breakfast according to you?.

At Greenwoods, they have a delicious fruit shake. I eat an omelet with spinach and the tastiest soda bread.

Now that you are pregnant, have you eaten any weird things?

No, it's actually not that bad. I do eat Ben and Jerry's ice cream every day haha, but I've always liked that.

What is a nice restaurant for pregnant women?

I am completely crazy about sushi and dim sum and go mega often to A fushion on the sea dike. They make the sushi fresh there. That way you can say what shouldn't be in it. Super nice.

Want to completely relax? Where do you do that? And what does it look like?

Taking a bath with lovely bath oil is pure relaxation.

Where do you find stylish maternity clothes like yours? Or do you not do that?

With pants, I have had to give in. I bought them in a store in Haarlem and on Asos. I can't stand it anymore when something is very tight around my belly. No matter how low it sits. Furthermore, I keep shopping in the stores where I already shopped. Then I just buy everything larger than normal.
