The last few weeks I haven't been posting as regularly as I always hope to. 

One of the reasons was this wonderful event we organized. 

A TEDx in Curacao called TEDxHoogstraat. 

It was focused on the future city and we had a live stream from NYC and live local speakers. 

It was truly a day of fun, learning and loads of inspiration. 

And I wanted to share some pictures with you.

Hope you are having an amazing week.

 Happy Friday everyone 

I hope you've had an amazing week. 

I've been a bit absent as we're in the process of organizing a TEDx event. 

Ted.com is a wonderful website focused on "Ideas Worth Spreading". I am quite addicted to the site and all the amazing, inspirational and innovative presentations they share. We are extremely proud and excited to be organizing a TEDx event in Curacao. It will coincide with TEDxCity2.0 in New York and we will be live streaming it and having 10 local speakers share their visions for the future city. 

If you have a chance visit our website and facebook page.

Oh and meanwhile at home.... we are in the process of rebuilding (when I say we I mean Mr. D, who is just amazing at this and at transforming my "think Nordic" ideas into reality). I will make sure to post some before and afters of our loft. 

For now, have a great weekend. 

Smile loads. 

Enjoy the details.

Klein Curacao 

August 17, 2013 

The island we live on is already quite small. And though most people do not know it, our island nation consists of 2 islands, Curacao and Klein Curacao (small Curacao). Our tiny Klein Curacao is uninhabited, save for the daily tourists visiting the island after a 1.5hour boat ride. 

It is a sweet little paradise of a white sandy beach and crystal blue water, with the mountains of Curacao fading in the back. Quite idyllic actually. 

On Saturday we had a quick visit to the island. Enjoyed a bit of walking and of course the wonderful sea.

Some times unexplainable things happen.
All we can do is remember the good times.

Have a splendid weekend. 

Remember that life is fleeting; enjoy every detail of it.

Yep, it's only Thursday, but I am already looking forward to the weekend and heading to the beach. 

It is always so relaxing and beautiful to be out on the ocean, surrounded  by so much blue. 

The water is such a nice temperature this time of year, it's summer and the kids are playing in the sand and on the slides. 

Island living - this is definitely one of the perks of living in Curacao.

hello monday

Images from my own collection 

A few details from my home, July 15th 2013, a beautiful and cloudy Monday morning. 

I found peonies in Curacao...yippie and the Kiehl's body cream is amazing, thanks Odes.

Hope you had a splendid weekend. 

Mine was filled with relaxing moments and nice dinners with our families. 

Of course yesterday it was back to my "normal" Sunday on the boat and it was great as always. 

Have a splendid week

Wonderful island living

wine and cheese

Tomorrow we are hosting a wine and cheese fund raising in Curacao. 

This is some of the inspiration for the event. 

It will be mostly red and white (both in the decoration and the wines). 

It will be on a rooftop of a historic building and it starts just in time for the beautiful sunset of the island. 

Looking forward to a fun evening with great people.
