Say hello to my little friend ๐Ÿ‘‹ 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 ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

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 in the seclond picture ๐Ÿ˜‰

๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ“Œ: 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 ๐Ÿ˜Œ I st Today I miss good old fashion blogging ๐Ÿ˜Œ 

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?? ๐Ÿ˜…

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 ๐Ÿงก

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 Rรฉge-Jean Page's butt ๐Ÿ˜ณ I can't help but wonder... what the *bleep* did I just watch? ๐Ÿ˜…

Happy Friday guys! You've made it throgh the second week of 2021 ๐Ÿฅณ If you don't have any plans for the weekend yet, Bridgerton is available on Netflix ๐Ÿ˜‰

The Simplicity Project: Kick-Off Party

Topshop dress, Vero Moda shirt, F21 Necklace, H&M shoes & belt
You guys might have noticed the little grey bulb at the bottom of my sidebar. Anxciously searching for and overthinking ideas for a blog feature has lead me nowhere. I can only conclude that everything has been done already and my mind simply doesn’t seem able to come up with anything fresh and new. Maybe the stress for my upcoming exams and all those darn deadlines have something to do with that… .When Kristin over at As Luck Would Have It tweeted me about a feature she was planning on, I immediatly grew curious about what it would be. Turns out, her blog feature is ideal to deal with – and learn to reduce stress! Great, exactly what I needed in this stressfull time called May. Learn more about the purpose of The Simplicity Project here. 
To kick it all off, I’m going to start with a shop-stop. Yeah, you heard me. A blogger who mostely blogs about her wardrobe is going to stop shopping. For two months. Don’t worry, I’ll keep doing my outfitposts and when I set foot on USA grounds in early July all hell will break loose for my bankaccount. The 20kilo max luggage weight will probably be a partypooper though. Now, I can hear you thinking: Why am I doing this and in what way is it going to make my life more organised? Easy Peasy! Firt off: my wardrobe is a mess. There’s tons of old stuff in there, things that I don’t wear anymore or desperately need replacement. Secondly, because I feel at a loss when it comes to my personal style. Blogging and seeing all kinds of inspiration has gotten me confused about my own style and even about who am / portray myself to be. During my two month shop-stop I would like to make a plan, moodboards of the styles I really like and think about how I can make them my own. I would like to make a list of basic items I am missing in my wardrobe, such as a trenchcoat, and do a big Spring clean! When this hectic period is over, I would like to be back as a brand new, improved version of myself. Hope you guys are with me ๐Ÿ™‚
Nikki

    First of all, I want to say that the stress reduction thing is great, everybody can need this. And I think that's a great idea to stop shopping for a while. I made a little shopping stop for 6 weeks during late february until easter, not really because of the same reasons as you, but rather because I hated the fact that I couldn't decide if I want to have something or not. And I also wanted to have a better overview about the things I have in my closet and how I can wear them. The little shopping break really helped me: I bought two timeless pieces (this chanel inspired jacket and a black leather bag) afterwards, and only opted for a cheap h&m version of some spring trends – and I love the things! and I made a list about things that are missing in my closet: nude heels, navy shoes, white shoes, a black leather jacket, a pleated skirt etc. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Please keep me/us updated how the shopping stop is working – or will you also stop blogging during the shopping stop? And I think I missed something: are you going on vacation to the usa or are you going to stay there a bit longer?

My least favorite days of the year are coming up. My least favorite days of the year are coming up. 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? โœจ

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.

BAM! 2021 sure welcomed us with open arms, didn't BAM! 2021 sure welcomed us with open arms, didn't it? 

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 Rรฉge-Jean Page's butt ๐Ÿ˜ณ I can't help but wonder... what the *bleep* did I just watch? ๐Ÿ˜…

Happy Friday guys! You've made it throgh the second week of 2021 ๐Ÿฅณ If you don't have any plans for the weekend yet, Bridgerton is available on Netflix ๐Ÿ˜‰

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. ๐Ÿ’—

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! โœจ

Happy New Year! ๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿพ 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 ๐Ÿ™ˆ 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 ๐Ÿ˜‰
