HELLO
What do you eat when calories are not a factor?
Do you have a moment? I may be the fit girl in the editorial office, but I am also just a human and, like you, have a long list of guilty pleasures. I don't give in to them easily, that's more the thing. But well, if I can indulge without shame, put this in front of my nose: in the sweet category, warm apple pie from De Taarten Kamer, cinnamon rolls from Cinnabon, cheesecake with red fruit, warm scones with clotted cream and jam, and a good bowl of chocolate mousse (white and brown). In the savory category: homemade sour meat from my mother, pizza with lots of cheese and fresh truffle, an enormous cheese platter with warm baguette, and a good steak with béarnaise sauce and French fries. And please with a bottle of Bernardus Chardonnay on the side. Yes, there goes my reputation.
You want a ticket to…
Australia. High on my list. I would love to live in flip-flops and a bikini for a few weeks. I have already been on quite a few beautiful trips, but unfortunately, I haven't made it to Australia yet. But I will change that very soon. Promise.
Ultimate relaxation moment
What is that? I find this a difficult one. You know I prefer to be active rather than in relaxation mode. Still, I can really do it, you know. My ultimate relaxation moment is a spa day with my best friend. And then everything that comes with it. When I get home, I dive straight into bed and sleep until the next morning. That last part is something that never happens to me. I live downtown Amsterdam, remember?
What do you do when no one is home?
Taking off my clothes, turning up the heating, lighting candles, and prancing around in my underwear. But really. I'm not romanticizing. I just love to be without clothes at home. Shit, and you know where I live.
Nobody knows this about you
That next to my Pinterest, which is overflowing with ideal wedding pictures, I even have a list of potential baby names in my phone. And now just hoping that Mr. Perfect isn't reading along, rattle, rattle.
Which item from your closet do you wear the most?
Can there be two? My black bobby's from Isabel Marant and my Levi's shorts. The latter comes out when the temperature rises above twenty degrees and only goes back into the closet when autumn is approaching. I live in them. I am definitely a summer person and prefer to walk around with bare legs for as long as possible. In that respect, I could easily settle on the coast of California. Including a surf dude and a beach hut. Keep dreaming, Simoon, keep dreaming....
