    A Wintery Escape To Vienna

    A Wintery Escape To Vienna

    Hi Friends! I hope you all have a wonderfull start of the week. I am currently travelling through Poland with a friend and we’re having the best time! Right now we’re on a 3,5h train ride to wroclaw so I thought I might as well finish some of the post drafts that have been building up in my WordPress. Today I’m finally sharing my Vienna guide with you all! To be honest, Austria wasn’t in my top 10 countries to visit next. I always saw Austria as a winter sport destination and if there’s one kind of travel I’m not…

    2018 Travel Year In Review

    2018 Travel Year In Review

    I’ve always had a travel bucket list, but 2018 was the first year I shared it on the blog! You can read it here. I thought it’d be fun to review last year’s travel bucket list before I share what destinations made it on my list for 2019. Let’s see how I did, shall we? Berlin Berlin was a city that never appealed to me, but since so many of my friends raved about it I decided to put it on top of my list for 2018. It didn’t take long for me to set foot on German grounds. My…

    AD | Dress Code: Loungewear

    AD | Dress Code: Loungewear

    Confession: It takes exactly 0.5 seconds for me to change into my comfiest loungewear after I get home from work. I can do it even faster if I skip the “Honey, I’m Home!”. It’s reality that my boyfriend rarely sees me in anything other than my casual wear on weekdays. I’m lucky that he values the cuddle-factor of my outfits more than their general appeal, haha. We’ve both been big fans of my newest set, that was kindly given to me by Hunkemoller just before Christmas. There’s nothing better than coming home from work on a cold and snowy winters…

    The Best Knitwear

    The Best Knitwear

    When I was still in school H&M was my go-to for knitwear. They did and still do the best sweaters, jumpers and cardigans in the €20-40 price category. The secret with H&M is to hit the shop early. Their earliest fall pieces are their absolute best and by shopping my sweaters while it wasn’t exactly sweater weather just yet, I always managed to find the ones I wanted still available in my my size. Every summer I’d set aside some money so I’d be ready when they dropped their fall collection. And I was never disappointed. It’s been three years…

    Indian Summer Dreams

    Indian Summer Dreams

    Guys, these must be my favorite blog photos everrrrr. And that says something, considering that I’ve been doing this since 2009 (how has it been 9 years!?). My friend Melissa has recently started doing hair & make-up. As she’s new on the mua scene she’s working a lot to create her portfolio and asked me to model for her!  Now, you all know that I don’t wear make-up and the fanciest thing I’ve ever done with my hair on the blog was this. If that doesn’t prove enough that God wasn’t handing out the ability to be a hair magician on…

    Apple Picking in Haspengouw

    Apple Picking in Haspengouw

    According to Statbel, the Belgian statistical office, there are currently 11.376.070 people living on the 30.528 KM² piece of land known as Belgium. Said little piece of land is divided into 10 provinces. And today I am taking you on a day trip to my favorite one: Limburg! Or as we Antwerpians like to call it “The Limburg”. I am imagining the Limburgers reading this collectively clicking away from my blog now. More specifically I’m taking you along on a field trip to the beautiful region of Haspengouw. Haspengouw is best known for its fruit farms, country roads and castles. While…
