Last Wednesday Night: I PAUSED...


I bet you were wondering why I went to London



I kinda sort of (yes I’m aware that both those expressions mean the same thing) kicked off for a while, but my (magazine)addiction has recently gone to severe heights again (poor wallet of mine). Just the other day I discovered my new favourite magazine PAUSE. I found – bought – read the spring/summer issue and I just fell in love with it. It was sooo refreshingly real, unpretentious (even though I love my hint of pretence in life) and it felt like… well.. like finally someone understood me (the ’90ies shoot was beyond fresh) and my sense of fashion. So I went online to connect with the brand and all that, and to my surprise saw that they were about to launch the next issue with a special event the week after.


Needless to say I got myself on the list and bought a ticket to go to London for the day, JUST for this event. I mean, it’s not like I haven’t gone to London for 24 hours just to party before (#adidasunderground), so it’s really not THAT big of a deal. I did miss one class, but, you know.. YOLO! (it really is the only way to express the ridiculousness of this trip hahaha)


There we were, Tess Jessica de Boer and myself, standing at the door and trying to explain to this guy that my name is Richenny Ryfa Felicia hahahah. It took a couple of minutes for him to even recognise the sound (of course the way that you pronounce my name is nothing like a regular sounding English word) and know what to look for on his list, but eventually he found it. (he was actually really laid back. We should fly over these Brits to man-the-door at events here in Amsterdam. 4 real!!)


Obviously I was trying to do a million and one things in a period of time that did not allow that, but I somehow managed. Except for the fact that we arrived fashionable late (I mean it wasn’t over or anything, but we could have been a little bit earlier). But it was still cool. The vibe was really chill, there was a crazy stylish crowd (dressed in fashion that I of course love to see, yet don’t get to see often enough in the streets of Amsterdam), there was a live presentation and of course there were the usual suspects in the form of drinks and music.




So when you’re late, you totally miss out on goody bags. Luckily, some people do know how the issue of time works, and our Friend Reggie, who is currently working for Volt, was there early with her colleague and she had an extra copy of the new issue of PAUSE to spare (which is the only thing I was dieing to get my hands on really, so God bless her generous soul – and forgive me for not remembering her name :s) so I was as happy as a little kid in a candy store. I read the whole thing cover to cover on my travel back to Holland, and decided that it was definitely worth the trip. I should call them up and see if I can do a little sum’ sum’ with them in the future or something. (After all I travel all over Europe for fashion, so plenty of stuff to write about if you ask me)


(I tend to get caught up in the moment and enjoy being there, rather than capture every second on film. So every image you see up here actually belongs to PAUSE)



P.S.: Yes, I know you want to know what else I did while in London, but you’re just going to have to come back for that story J.
