Hunkemoller




As you may know..or don t, I can not (yet) make a living of this blog so I needed a job to provide food on the table for me and the kids. 

That other job is since November 2011 working with Hunkemoller, a chain of lingerie shops. Well known here in the Netherlands, now they want to conquer the rest of Europe, or the world?.



      
Hunkemoller now roped Sylvie van der Vaart in, the footballers wife of player Rafael van der Vaart, played with Real Madrid and now in the English Tottenham hotspur. 



 

This was a good move from the Hunkemoller chain because I notice when she is on the frontpage of our brochure the bra's and slips are immediately sold out. 








Hunkemoller is now leading the market for lingerie in Europe, and planning to open hundreds of shops in Germany this year. Also a reason why they choose for Sylvie also, as she is a known person in Germany as well, in the jury of the German version, Germany has got talent.

She opened the fashion show of Hunkemoller in Berlin fashion week. So Hunkemoller is doing well with Sylvie and I am happy with Hunkemoller, more with the discount for an employee for the beautiful sexy lingerie, 





So me....

Marbella !!!




Hi I am Ana, a friend of Grace and experienced an amazing week in Marbella I 'll tell you about The HOT SPOTS there:

  "As the London sun did not want to show her face in the last weeks,  I had the lucky opportunity to go on a short holiday with my party girl to the most glam destination to party in Spain: Marbella!
We packed colourful and summery clothes, mainly funky colourful and glittery tops, several shorts and of course our bikinis.





We loved  Nikki Beach where we enjoyed the best Mediterranean cuisine while enjoying a lovely bottle of French Rose, while listening to relaxing tunes from the resident DJ.



In the evening we visited Se7en in Puerto Banus, where the interior is entirely dedicated to a Buddhist theme, with wooden statues, velvets and silks in Ruby and Purple, Shisha available and excellent music varying from House and RnB with lots of Top 40 hits too.





As the party night in the south of Spain officially starts at 3am, we headed around that time to Olivia Valere in Marbella which is the most amazing club I have ever been too! It,s an exclusive club decorated  in an exotic theme with palms and olive trees, beautiful brick arches and open air spaces, lounge area with lounge beds, huge club area with loads of big tables, an excellent restaurant  and of course the club which is filled with an international crowd who are entertained by dancers, acrobats and on the night I was there even a magician!



The second day we had lunch at The Ocean Club in Puerto Banus.  The menu had a good choice of European /International cuisine, portions were great and the fresh juices and non alcoholic cocktails are absolutely the best!!!!. As the Ocean Club is renowned for their wild Champagne Parties, rest assured; they only happen on certain days once a month in the summer, so if you are looking for chilled out relaxation time by the pool on the lovely round comfy beds while enjoying Sangria or Champagne you will find this your perfect spot. It is very close to the luxury shops of Puerto Banus and situated directly on the beach! 




That night we found ourselves dancing in Funky Buddha in Marbella, which is second best venue to go clubbing. We enjoyed some Shisha, while sinking back in the comfortable velvet cushions and sipping our cranberry vodka. The music in this club is mainly RnB /Hip Hop mixed up with some pop and occasional house music. The space is vast and very luxurious decorated with low glas tables, comfy couches and lots of fluffy pillows.



All tanned and relaxed we arrived back to London where hopefully the sun will shine as bright as it did in Marbella.....

Ibiza Rocks

Only a few weeks left until I will be paddling in the waters surrounding the island of Ibiza. Yes, I am joining the partying crowd that come from all over the world, each summer, to let their hair down. Not sure which dance moves I shall be pulling out of my closet, but I'm certainly ready to pull out a couple of beach-wear favourites to wear whilst I'm there. Which one would you wear?

From Paris with Love

After a delightful weekend in Paris, I can share the news of my new babies with excitement. Yes, I'm talking about my new Isabel Marant sneakers which I managed to grab in one of their three stores in the City of Love.

Am I happy? YES, OUI, OUI! And I can also tell you this: wedge sneakers are so comfortable to walk in and still give you that elegant high-heeled walk.

Want to snap up a pair of your own wedge sneakers, here are some Isabel Marant alternatives:
