With the first soft flurries of snow merrily dancing upon London, the UK (and indeed Europe this week) I am extremely elated to introduce to you our creative keynote speaker for our London Edition. With each Meet The Blogger city we aim to make it as international as possible, which is why the keynote is never from the host city. For those of you who don’t know Yvonne Eijkenduijn you soon will as Yvonne is one of the most talented, creative, entrepreneur bloggers I’ve met. An interiors & lifestyle blogger at heart, Yvonne is the beautiful, bubbly brains behind Yvestown – one of the most popular interior & lifestyle blogs {and indeed blogging brands} in the Netherlands. With her own book in the pipeline and currently being filmed for a documentary on bloggers, Yvonne has strengthen her blog and brand immensely. Yvonne also sells her own products as well as hosts the Yvestown Fair each year. I managed to grab five minutes from her busy schedule to ask some tongue-in-cheek questions about her blog, her life and her future…
My fab blog title is…
Yvestown: A blog about freshly shaven legs under clean sheets
And that means…
Every female knows how lovely the feeling is after shaving her legs and crawling under clean bedding. I want my life to be like that feeling all the time.
The best thing about blogging is…
The constant output I have for my creativity, it’s like a drop-box for all the projects I have done.
I couldn’t blog without…
My MacBook Pro and my Nikon D7000.
My favourite thing about London is…
The colours, the food, the people, the parks, the buildings, Lytton Strachey’s portrait in the NPG …
When in London, my hottest hangouts are…
I love Liberty and the Cath Kidston on Marylebone High Street
I can’t live without…
A daily bath and ice-cream
My favourite magazine right now is…
Kinfolk
I love grabbing lunch from…
The Natural Kitchen on Marylebone High Street
On my iPod right now is…
Bjork – Gling Glo
As a special treat, I love to…
Do absolutely nothing all day long
In 5 years I’d like to be…
Settled and content
