Sporty spice

There is a first time for everything and since I have been a regular gym-visitor for months now, I thought it was time to finally shoot some sportswear! I have written about my favourite gym exercises as a Belmodo Guest Editor before, but in the meantime my fitness routine has been upgraded to a whole different level.…

New in: Sacha kicks
Style

What girl can resist a good pair of shoes? Especially if they are white, sneaker-shaped and have a touch of copper, am I right? These stunning babies from Sacha‘s new est. 1909 sneaker collection have joined my shoe family only recently but they have been glued to my feet ever since. Yes, they are obviously inspired on the…

Last snow and that blue scarf again
Style

One last post full of snow! After a few days of pointlessly waiting for some sunshine I decided to go out anyway and take some pictures in between two snowstorms. The fun thing with shooting outfits on ski holidays is that it doesn’t even matter where you snap the photos because the white surroundings just…

Snow hobo
Style

The irony: posting my most snowy pictures of the year on the warmest 2015 spring day so far! Although I’m a huge fan of this super warm Zara knit that I picked up in sale back in January, by now I’m hoping to carefully store it away until next winter. As Nelly Furtado once wisely…

Belle-Plagne: A snow diary

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow… was definitely the main slogan of last week’s ski holiday! My family and my boyfriend’s parents took off a week to enjoy the last snow (literally: it’s going to be over 15 degrees in Belle-Plagne this week!) of the season and oh boy, snow is what…

Some lost Paris pictures

These lost photos from Paris suddenly turned up on my computer, and now that I am in France (SKI HOLIDAYS WOO) it seemed appropriate to drop them on the blog today. Let me tell you why I hadn’t posted them before! Sometimes photos just don’t turn out as you would have wanted: we only had about…

Yeehaa! I’ve got some good news for all of us, my friends. Last week I went to Maasmechelen Village for the Denim Festival with Belmodo and of course we did some good shopping. My readers and I attacked the Ba&sh outlet store, where I caved for a beautiful, chic and sexy jumpsuit. I have never owned a decent jumpsuit…

Not a morning person
Style

This greasy-haired, tired-faced and utterly busy Sméagol barely survived the weekend, as the time unfortunately has come to, on top of every other day of the week, sacrifice my Saturdays as well to work for university. Oh, hello bachelor paper! I’m still doing all of my research but some of my classmates have already started…

Out of the comfort zone, into the awesome zone

Me wearing these real cool pants is QUITE rare, guys. One year ago, when shopping, I would never, ever, ever have even touched these kind of trousers, because my ass looked fat in them. Wait, fat? I obviously just mean that they make my apple-shaped bottom look bigger than it is. Maybe you can relate to this, sooooo…

Perforated

Say yes to the bag! Last week I attended the & Other Stories opening in Ghent (such a gorgeous shopping space!), where I bumped into the beautiful Clare Vivier x & Other Stories collection. This neon orange-y perforated piece with matching tassel (not pictured here) and navy handles immediately caught my eye, and hasn’t left my arm since! The…

Back to the 70s
Style

My favourite spring trend of 2015? The swinging seventies! Although every era does have its charms, I personally never would have thought I would be into the decades of large flower prints, lava lamps and platform shoes. Don’t worry guys, there won’t be glittery shirts or loose satin pants in my future outfits! The lava…

3 days of Detox Delight

The concept is pretty straightforward: it is about purifying your body when you’ve been exposed to too much sugar, coffee, alcohol, not…

Hi beauty lovers! As you have seen in my Estée Lauder video I always end my days with a short moment for myself.
