YARA’S PICKS
1. BLOG CLASS: LET’S FLIP THE SCRIPT! HOW BLOGGERS LIKE TO BE APPROACHED BY BRANDS
Building a relationship is a two-way street! Usually, I write about how bloggers can approach brands, or how to work on building your community. This post is all about how brands and PR could improve the way they reach out to YOU. For me, it’s all about mutual respect and trying to find a way to work together that is most natural and, therefore, most effective. So I’ve summed up seven tips for anyone trying to get in touch with bloggers.

2. THE BIG BESTIE POST: ME AND KIM IN OUR TWIN ITEMS!
You know how besties often start to talk the same way and dress the same way, right? Because I’m sure you do – and honestly because this seemed like the most hilarious post EVER to make (it was!) – we decided to put on all of our twin items for you.

3. WHAT THE TEAM WEARS: JUMPSUIT EDITION
It’s quite hilarious how everyone at CHAPTER FRIDAY starts dressing alike after a while. Leopard print, flared pants, stripes and of course… the CF classic: overalls. I have a collection of about 15 pieces and I love that my enthusiasm has rubbed off on the girls.

4. MY FIRST EVER HOLIDAY ON MY OWN, THE FULL STORY
Going on my first ever holiday on my own was a big deal this year. It opened my eyes (and my heart) in ways I didn’t expect. So many of you were curious as to why and how I made the decision. If you’re thinking about doing the same, this article is for you!

KELLY’S PICKS
1. AT HOME WITH… CHLOE LEENHEER
Kelly: “As soon as I stepped into the house of actrice/model/photographer Chloe Leenheer to interview her, I was sold. Not only Chloe herself but the location of her home, the light, the couch, the relaxed surf vibe… Inspiration galore! Back home again, I wanted to restyle my interior completely and almost ordered a new rug in a whim. Even now, when I look at the pictures, I want to buy everything every single thing.”

2. LATTE & LAPTOPS: HOPPER ROTTERDAM
Kelly: “I’ve lived in Rotterdam for a few years during my time at the art academy and this city has always been dear to me. For a Latte & Laptops edition out of town, I stayed in Rotterdam for a night and went to different hotspots to test the coffee and wifi, but mainly the food and the terraces. Together with bestie Femke (she ended up in one of the pics I shot, sipping her soy latte) I had a blast touring around the North of the city, enjoying the weather and her company, while ‘at work’.”

3. INSTA CLASS RECAP POST
Kelly: “Fairly recent, but so much fun! The first ever Insta Class we did last November was a big success. As chef goodie bag and chef presentation, the pressure was ON, but to see the attendees having a super informative and inspiring day is all worth it!

And of course, every single DIY I did together with Emma, and my monthly fifteen minutes of fame in the What The Team Wears.
EMMA’S PICKS
1. YARA VERSUS NICOLE: TWO TAKES ON THE SEVENTIES TREND
“Ready, set, go! This day, the heat was on. I just came back from my mini holiday to Barcelona and it was time to shoot a 70’s editorial for H&M. We shot a loooooot in a short amount of time, but I’m super happy with the results.”

2. BRING ON THE HOLIDAY SEASON! OUR INGREDIENTS FOR AN AWESOME PAJAMA PARTY
“A gloomy October day, the music loud and cosy pajamas & let’s roll.”

3. LATTE AND LAPTOPS: KATTENCAFÉ KOPJES
“Oh, what a feast!! As some friends are already making jokes about me ending up alone with 10 cats… maybe there right. I’m such a pet lover and I was so looking forward to paying a visit to the cat café. Some bites of a red velvet cake, sips of my cappuccino and many cat cuddles later, I was more than happy.”

I love your post about going on holiday alone, it is something that I have always wanted to do, but never been brave enough. I did attend a yoga teacher training in Costa Rica this year on my own for a month, but very quickly fell in love with the other people on my course. :)

Inderdaad de twin items post was ook mijn favoriet! En what the team wears-posts zijn altijd leuk om te zien.

PS Ik neem aan dat jullie wel een spellingcheck doen voordat jullie posts publiceren, maar het valt me toch op dat er regelmatig Engelse grammaticafouten inzitten (there ipv they’re of their etc. zie ik heeel vaak voorbij komen haha, zo ook hier in nr. 3 van Emma - en ‘looking forward to pay’ moet zijn ‘looking forward to paying’). Is niet onaardig bedoeld, meer opbouwende kritiek! ;)
Hoi Lisa, bedankt voor je comment en oplettend oog! Dat doen we zeker en het is uiteraard nooit uit te sluiten, maar we doen ons best 0,0 tik/spelfoutjes te publiceren :)
Ik zie hier toch wel een aantal leuke posts terugkomen! Mijn favoriet was de twin items post!
Haha leuk! Er komt straks een video met kim online ;)
Oh hier zitten zeker ook een aantal van mijn favorieten bij! Zeker die shoot samen met Nicole, love it!
