Whenever my mind is full and the burnout symptoms creep back in, I like to go out for a coffee and an aimless walk around town 😌

There aren't many things that ground me like the feeling of a hot cuppa in my hand and the smell of freshly roasted coffee beans in my nose. A true cup of comfort, you could say! ❤️

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 Rége-Jean Page's butt 😳 I can't help but wonder... what the *bleep* did I just watch? 😅

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

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! ✨

Happy New Year! 🥂🍾 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 🙈 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 😉

A Day In Antwerp

My latest photograhy “things”: overexposure and out of focus subjects
I wrapped up the schoolyear yesterday and those who follow me on twitter know I have landed a temporary full time job for the next two weeks. Starting today. Gosh, did that hurt in the morning, haha! I love the job though and I got to meet all the new co-workers that joined our team since my last day in May. The sales are coming up and we are starting with a pre-sale this friday, so I don’t have to tell you how hectic it was. There was no time for an afternoon break, but at the end of the day, I did get to go home 15 minutes before closing time. Just enough time to stop by Zara… . More about that later!
I wish I had an outfit to share with you today, but I just haven’t found the time nor the photographer to go out for photos and I used up everything that was in my concepts. Instead I’m giving you a glimpse into the wonderfull city that has become my second home: Antwerp. Enjoy! And yes, that is a sundae with warm white chocolate sauce and brownies!
Much Love,
Nikki
