7 days, 7 outfits

Hello 2016! How have your New Year’s celebrations been? Mine were pretty quiet this year, having dinner and playing games with friends at home. For the past few days I’ve really enjoyed relaxing at home and going through all my 2015 archives (I did a roundup post earlier this week!), so that now I feel more than…

The best of 2015
Personal

Another year has come to an end, and with a brand new year approaching really fast it’s always nice to look back for a moment and appreciate all the wonderful things that have happened. 2015 was a pretty good year for me! I almost graduated from university (ha, still one more exam to go), I…

How to wear: the leopard trousers

Leopard: a print that can be fabulous when worn right, but quite tacky when combined with the wrong items. These leopard trousers make it even trickier because they always remind me of this particular Belgian tv character. But how cute and sophisticated do they look with a navy cashmere knit, long navy coat and white sneakers? It’s…

My bedroom & closet transformation
Home

About a year ago I told you about the plans I had with my (very small) bedroom: a fun interior make-over including a way bigger closet! After some serious delays, I finally had the time to redecorate the room last month. Since I am so pleased with the results, I decided to share some before…

A shearling dream

If there’s 3 things I can never get enough of, it’s coats, leather pant and white sneakers. So this outfit was obviously one of my favourites this week! This lovely shearling coat was a real steal since it’s currently marked down from €129 to €49! And how great is the fit of these pleather boyfriend pants? The…

An oldie but goodie

When browsing through my archives the other day, I stumbled upon a few photos that I apparently forgot to post last year! Since the outfit is rather appropriate for this time of the year, why not share them with you guys today? Most items in this look are still favourites: the leather pants, the classic…

A few years ago I used to share everything that inspired me, everything that I did during the day and everything that I personally loved here on the blog. Nowadays my content is always created with you guys in mind, which means that things might be less personal and spontaneous. And we don’t want that to…

When I grow up…

Only a few months ago I traded the student life for two real cool office jobs: I work as a part time community manager and copywriter for a fashion company in Antwerp and of course I have my blog, which basically counts for a full time job. Oh, and in between this office craziness I do still accept…

Celebrating my mum, my hero
Personal

Not only am I visually a 3 cm shorter copy of her, I’m also starting to take over my mum’s little habits and customs. The thing is that my mum always set a great example for me and taught me lots of important values in life. In the light of Rituals’ #givefromtheheart campaign I’d like to thank…

Instant office chic

Since I can be quite lazy in the morning, my office looks are usually fairly simple: a pair of skinny jeans, a sophisticated shoe and a light knit. My favourite to-go colour combo? Camel and black. For an elegant ton-sur-ton effect I wore this oatmeal colored peacoat on top of the camel knit, and added a…

How gorgeous is this wall I shot this outfit in front? Instant imaginary trip to New York! In reality, this is what I wore in my own beloved city Antwerp yesterday. In the morning my friend Lisa and I undertook a journey to IKEA (yup, since we spent about 4 hours inside I better call it a…

48 Hours in Oslo
Travel

Norway is one of those destinations that is on most people’s travel wishlist, but often gets a lot of competition from more classic Scandinavian must-sees like Iceland or Sweden. Truth is that the country has a LOT to offer, especially the beautiful capital city Oslo. For the launch of the limited Winter Coolection from Emmi CAFFÈ…
