Queen's Day preparation

How great it is to be 20 and have a body that fairly quickly recovers from an intense, late night out! After studying (!) for a couple of hours, I went downtown to get coffee and something to wear on Queen's Day. The whole fuzz around Queen's Day is quite hard to explain if you're not here to see it, but virtually everything is now available in a "Queen's Day edition". All the shops have completely exploaded in a feast of orange and you can get anything from tights with the Dutch flagline along your legs to orange coloring hairspray to special Queen's Day coffee.

With this said, I went to Nespresso to get coffee and, of course, they had a "Queen's Day special edition pack". I had to buy it of course. You don't want to offend the Dutch people - God knows how seriously they take this.

Just a little taste of the orange hysteria that has struck the country.
I love the packaging, very well done, Nespresso!
I finally decided on a hairclip for Queen's Day. Should be enough to not get lynched. I mean, it even says this is the "true spirit"? It simply can't be wrong with this in my hair.
I found this photo from last night on my phone! We ordered in bottles of wine and were dancing around with  the bottle on the dancefloor and felt soooo cool. Oh my.
