Dystopia: expect the unexpected

Hey guys! My apologies for not posting anything yet this week, but I’ve had one of my most difficult exams yesterday and another pretty heavy one (the last one though!) is coming up next Tuesday. Sooo I’m currently keeping busy with assessing the average lifespan of blue Bic pens instead of strolling around town with…

A mini insider’s guide to Antwerp

Holla! Since many of you regularly contact me asking for secret hotspots in Antwerp, I’m taking you on a mini trip through my city today! We’re skipping the obvious must-sees like Groenplaats, Nationalestraat and MAS Museum and will dig more into places where a local would rather spend its free (tourist-less) time. Oh yeah, and that…

Barnini

Having a brother with a practiced eye, mad photographer skills and of course some bad ass equipment comes in prettyhandy when you’re in need of some quick outfit pictures. With the evening approaching soon I was a bit afraid we wouldn’t find the perfect spot to shoot, but HEY that turned out no problem at all…

Easy breezy basics

Hey guys! Sorry for my lack of posting – life (/exams) sort of got in the way. And for me the best way to relax between studying is just chilling in the sun and drinking a tiny glass of wine with my friends! Yup, summer is definitely in town! Are you preparing yourself for the…

Hello Fresh

Eén van mijn favoriete laatavondactiviteiten in het weekend is online iets lekkers bestellen vanuit mijn luie zetel. Ik ben een ramp in koken en toevallig érg goed in online bestellen. Het grote nadeel is natuurlijk dat elke maaltijd die aan mijn deur gebracht wordt gemiddeld 50g vet en zo’n 1200 kcal bevat. Daarnaast is er ook…

Dots & hotspots

Niets leuker dan toerist in eigen stad spelen tijdens een verlengd weekend. Lisa en ik kuierden wat door de zonnige straten van Antwerpen toen we de Vlaeykensgang ontdekten, de oudste straat van de stad! Omdat er bijna niemand was en we de Zuid-Frankrijk vibe zo fijn vonden, besloten we het straatje te gebruiken als idyllische achtergrond voor…

Knots, dots and hotspots

Playing a tourist in your own city is the perfect way to spend a bank holiday, don’t you think? Lisa and I were wandering through the sunny streets of Antwerp and bumped into the Vlaeykensgang, the oldest medieval street of the entire city! Since we were captivated by the old, super cozy, almost South-French vibe (and…

Luscious lashes
Beauty

This “I woke up like this”-thing just reached a whole new level! Many of you have asked me on Instagram or Twitter about what mascara I have been using lately, but the truth is… None! Two weeks ago a friend asked me to get a lash treatment together. She sent me a pic of her lashes looking…

Longing for festival season

Ahw yeah, festival season is upon us! For me summer is not complete without attending any festivals, which means that I’ve got most of my tickets in the pocket since January already. Trying to get front stage when my favourite bands perform, strolling through the food stands, soaking up some sun at the relaxing zones…

The view from the afternoon

Woah, although I was super thrilled to show you these pictures when we had just shot them, I somehow completely forgot to post them! Marijs and I were about to stop by a press event when we passed by this beautiful green corner with beautiful light embracing the trees. This is definitely a spot where I should…

Wednesday wishlist

Hollaaaa! I’m currently finishing up and polishing all the edges of my bachelor thesis, of which the deadline is Friday. You can imagine I’m DROWNING in work, but since I do need a break once in a while I figured I’d write a quick blog post for you guys. Not sure whether writing is the…

Sk8ergirl + festive lunch break

He was a sk8er boi, she said see you later boy… The number one lyric us nineties children all know by heart as soon as we hear the first notes of that famous guitar riff! Sk8er Boi was probably one of my fave songs ever in my teens (aaaafter Complicated, Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day and I Miss You by Blink 182)…

Hey guys! Since it’s Thursday I decided to hop on the Instagram train and do an oldschool #throwbackthursday! Many of you might not be following me for a long time, so I figured that sharing some old outfits and my ‘old’ style would be pretty fun. (Oh yeah, did you know I had a short…

The darling buds of may
Style

Net zoals mijn vriend Shakespeare kan ik wel een boom of twee in bloei appreciëren. Naast zijn liefde voor roze, ben ik ook grote fan van zijn sense of fashion! Voor de gelegenheid haalde ik dus mijn meest romantische Romeo & Juliet-geïnspireerd hemd boven en dartelde ik dramatisch onder deze prachtige kersenbloesems! Klinkt Globe Theatre-worthy, toch?…

Delicacy (and a wedding ring!)

Today’s post is all about elegance, quality and delicacy. Something us classy girls are always after, am I right? A little while ago I was approached by Belgian jewellery designer Hanne Schoofs, a young lady with a passion for handcrafted jewels with a playful accent. She is specialized in the most symbolic and special pieces of…

What for
Style

Zoals ik in mijn laatste post vertelde, ben ik vorige week naar Parijs afgezakt om het Franse schoenenmerk What For te leren kennen! Samen met  Debbie, Erika en Aida ontdekte ik de showroom, de nieuwe collectie, hun flagship store in Le Marais en de fantastische Japanse lunchtent Nanashi. Ik koos een prachtig paar flatforms met slangenprint die jullie nog érg vaak zullen…

My first suit that I talked about recently entirely won me over to the ladies-dressing-like-men’s department, but instead of going for a neutral…

Baerbar for breakfast

  Hoewel ik ERG graag eet (heb je mijn Snapchat feed al eens bekeken?) schrijf ik er eigenlijk nooit over op de blog. De reden is redelijk evident: ik kan niet koken. Ik kan het echt niet. Gelukkig heb ik een fantastische vriend die een ongelooflijk talent heeft voor koken! Soms probeer ik het wel, en…

H&M Conscious Collection: that skirt!

Uh oh… I already have so many reasons to be envious of the drop dead gorgeous and extremely charming Olivia Wilde, and yesterday evening I found yet another one. The lady did not only contribute to a beautiful sustainable collection by H&M Conscious Exclusive, she also got to wear the most prominent piece of it: this…
