Our 13-year-old car broke down last weekend and we have to pick up our replacement car today. Pick-up point is in Turnhout (where I grew up) and I'm thinking we need to make a day trip out of it! The weather forecast is blessing us with the promise of sunshine and very pleasant temperatures for this time of year, so I'm happy as a bumble bee in a sea of lavender.

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

The High Fens are my favorite place to go hiking in winter. In "normal years" we don't meet a soul out there, but this year the whole of Belgium agreed this was the Fens were the place to be. Maybe the fact that it was the only corner of our country covered with snow had something to do with that ๐Ÿ˜ฌ 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 on the map and parked somewhere between Jalhay and Solwaster. I know the Ardennes quiet well, because I spent the first 16 summers of my life there. I still remember places that are less visited and also just driving around without a plan and stopping by places that look 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 appreciate knowing the region now that everyone is forced to vacation close to home.

What's your favorite way to travel in Belgium?

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 perfect duo: Mint and neon

I have to tell you a little story that’s behind this outfit! Last week I woke up terribly late (11:15am, whoops!)), strumpled out of bed and “hurried” downstairs for quick breakfast. I had a lot of Social Law things to study that day. When I came downstairs my dad was beeing all anxcious and weird. 

“Get dressed! You are leaving in 15 minutes.”

“What!? where am I going?” 
“You are going shopping with your mom because we both think you need it.”
(Do parents really say this!?)
“But I NEED to study! and I don’t need anything…!”
“I bet you do…”
“Well… maybe a pair of mint jeans?”
And so it happened. 15 minutes later I was on the bus, on my way to moms workplace. We grabbed a quick lunch and hurried to Zara. That’s why I now have this cute pair of ankle cut mint Zara jeans that go with about everything in my wardrobe and are very much on trend. I love them and can’t stop wearing them! I have tons of remixing ideas in my mind and Pinterest only makes my obsession with them worse, haha. Mom also picked out this neon top. It coral, it’s neon and it’s lace. That’s a winner in my book! 
Also, have you noticed the switching angles and fun close-ups in these photos? My friend J took them and isn’t she a natural!? I must say we had to fight quite the few bugs and mosquitoes to get these photos but I think they came out brilliant! I used other photos of this shoot for the pages of my blog so you can check them out too if you like! 
Much Love,
Nikki

Our 13-year-old car broke down last weekend and we have to pick up our replacement car today. Pick-up point is in Turnhout (where I grew up) and I'm thinking we need to make a day trip out of it! The weather forecast is blessing us with the promise of sunshine and very pleasant temperatures for this time of year, so I'm happy as a bumble bee in a sea of lavender.

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

The High Fens are my favorite place to go hiking in winter. In "normal years" we don't meet a soul out there, but this year the whole of Belgium agreed this was the Fens were the place to be. Maybe the fact that it was the only corner of our country covered with snow had something to do with that ๐Ÿ˜ฌ 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 on the map and parked somewhere between Jalhay and Solwaster. I know the Ardennes quiet well, because I spent the first 16 summers of my life there. I still remember places that are less visited and also just driving around without a plan and stopping by places that look 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 appreciate knowing the region now that everyone is 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!
