The Streek GR Kust had been on my must-hike list for a while and I'm so glad I finally went and did it!

Infamous for its high rise buildings and concrete boardwalks, this trail will show you that there is in fact a very different side to the Belgian coast too. The trail alternates between beach, dunes and woodland, making for a varied view along the way. Don't forget to circle back to the boardwalk sometimes for a much deserved waffle or ice cream! 😉

Ps: the trail is 103km in total. I stopped earlier to meet my friends in Knokke.

31 circles around the sun today 🪩 I am probab 31 circles around the sun today 🪩 

I am probably supposed to make this a sentimental post about how messy 29 was and how I had to come back to myself at 30 and figure out how to do life alone. But I'm currently rushing to get to work and I have zero inspiration as to what to say. I just wish that 31 will be (at least a little) less rocky than the past two years, so that I may finally have a chance to feel the world around me. Goodness knows I need it. Also, buying a dryer would be nice. 

Virtual 🥂 and 🍰 for all of you!

Casual Style, Fall/Winter, Style · 2 January 2012

One

You do not want to know how hysterical I was when I logged in a few weeks ago and found out that Google had disabled my account. Thank goodness boyfriend came to the rescue and solved the problem in no time. Apparently my blog means a lot to me. And I sometimes even call “her” my baby.  My one year old baby. On January 2nd 2011 I was probably bored and inspired at the same time and The Ginger Diaries was born. In this past year I met so many wonderfull people, read so many amazing stories and saw the most inspirational things. To be honest, I am pretty proud of myself for sticking around this long because all my previous attempts at blogging were never succesful. I wouldn’t have stayed around if it weren’t for you guys. THANK YOU ♥

    I'm always afraid of something like that happening to me. This is why I'm seriously considering a self-hosted blog on WordPress (sometime in the near future). Yes, it's not as user-friendly as Blogger, but for the peace of mind, it's worth it.

    Lovely outfits, by the way. Love the mustard tights!
