Today I give you a snippet of a day in my life on a sunday. This sunday I went out to help my friend, Carey, on a project for her entry to an art school. I don't do shoots that often, but when I do I'm usually in the picture, but this time I was behind the scenes trying to help create a vision for her video dairy.

This year I promised myself to step a little bit out of my comfort zone and try new things, including food. Yes, definitely including food. Recently I decided I needed to have a reunion with my old classmates from Chinese class. We decided to go to Round and Round in Rotterdam.

 I wasn't planning on ordering some food, but I am so glad I did. Japanese pancakes are definitely my favorite now. These pancakes are the best pancakes I have ever eaten in my life. The fluffiness of these pancakes is out of this world. I was shook, which sounds abit excessive, but I am deadserious. We ordered the butter pancake with honey (me), the strawberry pancake (Madeline) and the chocolate caramel pancake (Yu)

Starting off with my order, the butter pancake with honey. I was so surprised by how fluffy the pancake was and how natural it tasted. Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of honey, I find the taste sometimes too overwhelming, but they just added the right amount. It was delicious.

Then Madelines pancake (we did share everything abit), my favorite. I wish I ordered this pancake. Sounds crazy, but not the biggest fan of strawberries either. However, on this pancake it was perfect. The pancakes have layers and every layer had some strawberries and cream, topped with honey. Everything was added in just the right amount, so you could taste every ingredient without one being too overwhelming. The taste was very balanced.

Finally Yu's pancake, the caramel chocolate banana pancake. I expected this one to be the best or worst one. My explanation? Because it's chocolate and caramel, my absolute favorite, but these two together could also be very overwhelming. This wasn't the case at all. Every layer was again topped with bananas and the taste was again very balanced. It didn't feel like you were just eating sugar. The banana added the freshness and the caramel and chocolate sauce was just the cherry on top. I prefered the strawberry pancake, but this one came very close at being my favorite.

Let's make a tradition of the annual new years resolution post. I am very aware that most of the time we do not achieve our goals that we have set up for the new year and I also am aware that the number of haters who say "time is not real" is only increasing by year, but it does make us aware that we need to improve on some things.

Roses, roses, roses, so beautiful, especially in red. Red roses are my favorite kind of flowers and it definitely has been lately in fashion. I've been seeing embroidery everywhere. The possibilities are endless. You can find them on denim, leather, hoodies, swethers, mesh shirts, just everywhere and I love it.
Red roses as embroidery on clothing makes a subtle statement, but also gives a classy put together vibe. It looks amazing and the LF boutique on the uppereast side have been on point lately with their rose embroidery clothing.  Here are some examples:
