To become a swan you must first be an ugly ducklin To become a swan you must first be an ugly duckling 🐣

Say hello to my little friend 👋 We met at "Cycling Through the Water" in Belgium. He was mostly interested in the contents of my back pack and willingly posed for a few pictures, hoping I would share my snacks. Unfortunately for him, this girl does not share snacks! Once he realised he wasn't going to get anything, he dumped me for another tourist 🤷‍♀️

This idyllic spot can be found along the popular hiking and cycling network between Bokrijk and National Park Hoge Kempen in Limburg (which happen to be two of my favorite places in the province!). My friend and I arrived just in time for sunset and enjoyed a little walk around. It was a Tuesday evening in December, but still lots and lots of people were hanging out and social distancing wasn't always easy on the narrow paths. I am casually hiding my mask and other people in the second picture 😉

📸📌: Fietsen door het water, knooppunt 91, Bokrijk. You can park your car on the payed parking lots of Bokrijk and walk to the exact location ( +/- 1km). Interested in a longer hike/bike ride? Look up De Wijers cyclist network and outline your favorite route!

Today I miss good old fashion blogging 😌 I st Today I miss good old fashion blogging 😌 

I still think about that time (2012-2013-ish) a lot and it makes me sad because it will never be like that again. Going out to shoot 2x a week, edit and post pictures to the internet, writing a blurb of text about myself and then on to read as many other blogs as I could find. I don't know how I ever found the time to do all of that?? 😅

Not that it was all rosy. I remember I was unhappy about my blog, always wanting it to be better and have more outfits to share. But now I look back on those days and realize that it WAS the peak moment. I definitely wasn't the most well-known fashion blogger with the bestest sponsorships, but I was having an enjoyable time with enjoyable people.

This picture is from a shoot I did for the blog this Fall. I love how these photos came out!! Everything was perfect: from the fair-isle sweater I looked for for YEARS to the light and the colorful foliage. I love when that happens 🧡

That lost time between mid january and mid March, when it's still cold and dark outside, nature is bare and holidays are far away. I cannot wait for wild bluesbells to pop up and magnolia buds to slowly fold open. How about you? ✨

PS: forgive me my latergrams from Fall, but I think you all know how bad I am at posting consistently by now. I'd hate for these photos to be lost on my camera roll.

I took a two week hiatus from the good ole Gram to get used to my new longer working hours and binge Bridgerton. Am I the only one who thinks that show is a hot mess? It's basically a 1800s costume drama but with taylor swift on violins and the occasional close-up of Rége-Jean Page's butt 😳 I can't help but wonder... what the *bleep* did I just watch? 😅

Happy Friday guys! You've made it throgh the second week of 2021 🥳 If you don't have any plans for the weekend yet, Bridgerton is available on Netflix 😉

Chapter 2020 comes to and end as we turn the page Chapter 2020 comes to and end as we turn the page I want to thank you all for your support this year. 💗

It was a year of many lows that taught me how to find my highs in the little things. Despite the tough times, there were also plenty of moments filled with friends, coffee & rose wine, little escapes in my own country and... A PUPPY! Thank you all for following along! ✨

Happy New Year! 🥂🍾 I don't know what will be written in chapter 2021, but I'm hoping for 365 pages full of love and light for all of us.

Ps: the photos from Valencia, Helsinki and Tallinn were made in 2019 but posted in 2020 🙈 I did not travel abroad this past year.

Since I am living in limbo too, here's a thowback to when I could still buy my mulled wine from a cute Austrian market stall rather than the local grocery store. I smuggled that mug home, so the heartbreak isn't too bad 😉

Belgium, Europe, Travel · 5 March 2011

A Day In Brussels

As if our prayers were heared the sun has finally shown up. Since we both had no school on friday, my boyfriend and I decided to catch a train to Brussels and wander around the city. Our train only had three carriages so it was overcrowded. The man in front of me had an iPad. I had never seen a real life Ipad before. when the man noticed I was talking about it he showed me how it worked and he even let me check my facebookpage. iPad are cool things, but in my mind quiet useless. Anyways, here are some photo’s of the day. It was quiet foggy {smoggy might be a better word} so the lighting sucked a bit {much} in all photo’s.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 | Belgian Chocolate | Fleamarket (Vossenmarkt) | Vintage shopping (Fox hole) | Skyline | Cathedral | Souvenirs | Ice cream |
As you can see it was warm enough outside to enjoy some ice-cream.
{Strawberry-cream and raspberry sorbet if you’d love to know}
It was a lovely day and I had a great time.
Happy Saturday!
