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!

Long time no ginger hair in this feed 💁‍♀️✨

Throwback to a very spontaneous and verrry last-minute road trip to Normandy with @kristienjom last summer. We wanted a location where we could easily spend 4 days without having to travel too far or to the usual suspects (Germany, anyone?). @lehavre_etretat_tourisme had been on my to-visit list for a long time (thanks to a blog post by @dichtbijenverweg) and I convinced my friend to tag along with the promise of French wine bars and beautiful white cliffs. More on those white cliffs later. Today it's just me, my red hair and a white concrete vulcano (aka the cultural center of Le Havre).

Europe, France, Travel · 27 February 2012

A day in Lille, France

On Thursday we drove down to Lille for some shopping! Well, actually my sister shopped, my mom paid and I was just beeing annoying and snapping a million photos of them. I had a pretty exhausting two days in the city. So much shops to do in so little time! I’ve found a perfect replacement for my trusty old levis and I may or may not have bought another striped tee.

On arrive sur le sixième étage! This would make a lovely backdrop for outfit photos, no?

 

Rue de Béthune, home to my dear GAP and the Galeries de Lafayette

At the end of our shoppingspree we had to go find our hotel. We had our GPS up to date! Little did our GPS know, all the streets were blocked by creepy men with big guns in military suits and those tiny one direction streets and the hectic French traffic (I swear, almost as bad as the Italians!) didn’t help much either.Once we got to our room I ran for the twin bed (VICTORY!) and laid my head to rest. Just as I’ll do now. Getting up at 5am is just horrible!
