When I was just a mini-P, I absolutely adored Barbie. I wanted her to have her fabulous long hair, her cool gadgets and especially her impressive outfits! Most dresses were sugar coated pink, super puffy and very glittery, which had absolutely nothing to do with what I used to wear as a kiddo climbing trees with my…

Lately I really am catching up with my feminine side! Give me dresses, cleavage, skirts or high heels: I’ll wear it. Proof can be found here, here and here! I figured that after that explosion of femininity and sexiness you guys could handle a super tight A-line dress with a decent amount of cleavage as well.…

Oh yeah, my Sardinia posts are finally coming up! I have been dying to show you this gorgeous all white PINKO outfit that I wore on my first day there.

It’s a brand new house music festival near Antwerp of which my boyfriend does the creative directing and stage managing! Pretty cool, right?

When browsing through clothing racks at a store lately I’m really drawn to huge, shapeless pieces of fabric that appear to be dresses. The bigger, the better! The award of favourite piece of fabric now goes to this super affordable H&M Trend dress. I’ve…

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…
