Satisfying my travel lust close to home ๐Ÿ˜Œ The Satisfying my travel lust close to home ๐Ÿ˜Œ

The High Fens are my absolutely favorite place in Belgium to go hiking in winter. Usually we don't meet a soul out there, but this year the whole of Belgium agreed this was the best place to be when it was the only part of our country covered with snow. Little did we know a cold front would hit all of Europe just a few weeks later! ๐Ÿฅถ

To avoid the crowds on the Fens, we stayed lower and parked somewhere between Jalhay and Solwaster. I know the Ardennes quiet well since I spent the first 16 summers of my life there and I still remember places that are less visited. Also: just driving around without a plan and stopping by any place that looks interesting helps (that's what we did on this trip, so don't ask me about the specific location ๐Ÿ˜…). How much I hated the Ardennes by the time I was 16, so much I appreciated having the knowledge during this pandemic where everyone was forced to vacation close to home.

What's your favorite way to travel in Belgium?

This little fluffball didn't know what happened last January, when we let her out of the car in the middle of a winter wonderland. How unsure she was about the cold mushy mush, so much she loves frolicking through it today. Lucky for her, our very own garden has been covered in snow for the past few days โ„๏ธ

When I was a child, I was certain of the fact that When I was a child, I was certain of the fact that "adulthood" was a perfectly defined phase of life that you enetred the day you had 1) a job and 2) moved out of your parental home. As if you'd wake up the next day and be an adult who had everything together, never ate snacks before dinner and always had the last word in discussions. 

I moved out 6 years ago and have worked for 5 years, but I still snack before dinner and am very far from having my stuff together. But finally today I felt a hint of what my child-self dreamt adulthood would be like. I was calling banks to make appointments to discuss mortgage loans and I realized: this is it. I am adulting.

We woke up in a winter wonderland yesterday! We didn't go out to enjoy it or shoot pictures because we were too busy designing kitchen layouts for the house. I have a perfect vision in my mind of how I want things to look, but the house is too small to fit everything in and still make it aesthetically pleasing (and building an extension is ๐Ÿ’ธ). It's a difficult puzzle to make and I'm not good at letting the image I had in my head go, so yeah... not the relaxing weekend I hoped for ๐Ÿ˜ฌ I'm sure it will all be fine in the end!

The very last of the autumn photos that I have on my camera roll. We just finished shooting my blundstone pictures when I noticed this little one watch us from atop the fence. I wonder what he thought of my awkward posing ๐Ÿค” He flew off as soon as I came closer (as birds do) and I went on to the local coffee shop for a warm cuppa. 

Happy Tuesday!

My name is Nikki

Holy cow! Three outfitposts in a row!
I know what you’re thinking. I’m awesome. I know.

Just kidding, haha! 

Wearing: Zara skirt & cardy, F21 shirt, mom’s belt, Footwear boots, Promod purse, Twice as nice earrings, necklace c/o mynamenecklace, Kinto glasses

I spend my weekend walking around, eating and sleeping in Antwerp. I haven’t done anything usefull really, but it’s nice to do nothing every once in a while. Only three more weeks to go and my internship is done. Quite honestly, it isn’t going that well. I had a short evaluation, and I failed on almost all 9 points that will be scored… I am not sure how I feel about all this. I need a 9/9 at the end, or I’ll have to redo my internship next year! Eeek!

Nothing can make a girl feel better than some bling bling {and Danielles post!}. I recieved a cute little package in the mail last monday and it contained this pretty silver necklace from mynamenecklace.  Now no one has an excuse to spell my name wrong ever again!

Best wishes,
Nikki

Satisfying my travel lust close to home ๐Ÿ˜Œ The Satisfying my travel lust close to home ๐Ÿ˜Œ

The High Fens are my absolutely favorite place in Belgium to go hiking in winter. Usually we don't meet a soul out there, but this year the whole of Belgium agreed this was the best place to be when it was the only part of our country covered with snow. Little did we know a cold front would hit all of Europe just a few weeks later! ๐Ÿฅถ

To avoid the crowds on the Fens, we stayed lower and parked somewhere between Jalhay and Solwaster. I know the Ardennes quiet well since I spent the first 16 summers of my life there and I still remember places that are less visited. Also: just driving around without a plan and stopping by any place that looks interesting helps (that's what we did on this trip, so don't ask me about the specific location ๐Ÿ˜…). How much I hated the Ardennes by the time I was 16, so much I appreciated having the knowledge during this pandemic where everyone was forced to vacation close to home.

What's your favorite way to travel in Belgium?

This little fluffball didn't know what happened last January, when we let her out of the car in the middle of a winter wonderland. How unsure she was about the cold mushy mush, so much she loves frolicking through it today. Lucky for her, our very own garden has been covered in snow for the past few days โ„๏ธ

When I was a child, I was certain of the fact that When I was a child, I was certain of the fact that "adulthood" was a perfectly defined phase of life that you enetred the day you had 1) a job and 2) moved out of your parental home. As if you'd wake up the next day and be an adult who had everything together, never ate snacks before dinner and always had the last word in discussions. 

I moved out 6 years ago and have worked for 5 years, but I still snack before dinner and am very far from having my stuff together. But finally today I felt a hint of what my child-self dreamt adulthood would be like. I was calling banks to make appointments to discuss mortgage loans and I realized: this is it. I am adulting.

We woke up in a winter wonderland yesterday! We didn't go out to enjoy it or shoot pictures because we were too busy designing kitchen layouts for the house. I have a perfect vision in my mind of how I want things to look, but the house is too small to fit everything in and still make it aesthetically pleasing (and building an extension is ๐Ÿ’ธ). It's a difficult puzzle to make and I'm not good at letting the image I had in my head go, so yeah... not the relaxing weekend I hoped for ๐Ÿ˜ฌ I'm sure it will all be fine in the end!

The very last of the autumn photos that I have on my camera roll. We just finished shooting my blundstone pictures when I noticed this little one watch us from atop the fence. I wonder what he thought of my awkward posing ๐Ÿค” He flew off as soon as I came closer (as birds do) and I went on to the local coffee shop for a warm cuppa. 

Happy Tuesday!

This week is a big week for our family as we FINALLY start planning the final sale of our house and HOPEFULLY start renovations later this year. It's only been four years since we moved in ๐Ÿ˜ฌ I can't wait to finally break these walls apart and turn this house into the home we always dreamt of โœจ

Putting my best boot forward โœจ๐Ÿฅพโœจ These boo Putting my best boot forward โœจ๐Ÿฅพโœจ

These boots had been on my wish list for a few seasons and this november I got incredibly lucky when @blundstonenl hosted a competition and I got selected as one of the winners! ๐Ÿ˜

My blunnies are comfy, durable and easy on the eye, which makes them the perfect compagnon to all my fall and winter outfits! ๐Ÿงก

I received a few questions about the sizing when I first shared them in my stories a few weeks ago. If it helps: i got my usual size, but do have to wear thick socks (as pictured) to prevent them from rubbing my ankles. ๐Ÿ˜Š
