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…

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)…

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?…

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…

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.…

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
Style

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…

Online Ba&sh alert!

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…

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…

Late night ramble about that bomber jacket

You guys, here I am, crammed in front of my laptop in full Gollum-style (see my face on the preceding picture + add four extra pairs of bags under the eyes and a slightly more creepy stare) at 01h12 AM after finishing a huge translation assignment on Renaissance theatre. I should probably have gone straight…

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…

Introducing the Levi’s CT

SPRING! Spriiiiiiiiing! Now that we’re finally able to bare our ankles again, the time has come to pull out some of my favourite pieces: light jackets, breezy knits and boyfriend denim! For the occasion I wore my new pair of Levi’s 501 CT‘s, which are basically an updated version of the iconic 501 jeans. They are customized and tapered,…

Striped PJ’s in Marrakech
Style

Hello there! I’m back from the city of one thousand and one nights, very much alive and kicking. Unfortunately just a liiiiittle less relaxed than I had hoped for (so much damn screaming, it’s incredible) but at least the delicious food, the cozy riads and the magnificent afternoon light were top notch. Although I don’t have a…
