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.

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.

Sunny Side Up!

Source: fillyourwell.blogspot.com via Cheri on Pinterest
We have been having the most amazing, sunny and warm weather in Belgium the past two weeks. I pulled out all my favorite sundresses and skirts and gave my legs that last bit of sunshine before the tights season arrives. While sunshine is fun, and I want to spend whole days outside soaking it up as much as I can, it’s also a bit annoying. You see, I don’t own any sunglasses. And I’m afraid that if I don’t get myself a pair soon, those squint-wrinkles around my eyes will stay there forever. Time to hit SmartBuyGlasses.be and hunt down some sunnies!

“The Bigger The Better” is not my motto when it comes to sunglasses. I personally prefer light, thinner frames in white, grey or tortoise. These four pairs above are my top picks from the Sunglasses selection, with the Persol one beeing my absolute favorite!
Like most bloggers, I have a secret love for Ray-Ban. As for most, their Original Wayfarer is high up on my wishlist! As a redhead with pale skin I was thinking I’d go with a tortoise frame, but then I saw the wide selection of Wayfarers SmartBuyGlasses has and I found these to be really fun too!

I wear my prescription glasses about 90% of the time. So I couldn’t leave looking at SmartBuyGlasses’ selection of Eyeglasses too. Immediatly, I got drown to the Ray Ban Wayfarer again, but I also looked around a bit more and found these four pairs that I really liked!

D&G – Guess – Boss Orange – Emporio Armani
I have been wanting a pair of what I call “secretary frames” for along time. They look so chique and sophisticated and would be a great match for my small collection of LBDs. Not to mention they would be perfect to sport on my internship, which will be an office job after all. D&G has a lot of models that fit my “secretary” label, but so do Prada and Guess!
 
Colour! Colour! Colour! While I always stay on the safe side when it comes to my glasses choosing only tortoise or black frames, my mom encouraged me to try something colourfull. The first pair by Boss Orange is definitely somthing I would go for, it’s red and has that typical nerd look that frames my face beautifully. Where the Boss is loud and has a trendy nerd look, The Armani frame has subtle colours and a sporty vibe. I’m diggin’ it!
Oh boy, these are a lot of choices and I can only afford one pair of sunnies! Can you help me pick? Which one is your favorite? Should I go for colour or stay in the safety zone? Help!

    Oei je hebt geen zonnebril?! Amai dat lijkt me idd wel niet zo handig! Sinds ik lenzen heb zijn mijn ogen extra gevoelig en kan ik echt niet meer fietsen ofzo zonder zonnebril wanneer buiten de zon schijnt! Ik heb zelf zo'n fake Ray-Ban pilotenbril 🙂 Ik vond hem erg fijn, omdat hij ook erg dun en fijn is (ik heb het ook niet zo voor dikke zware brillen), maar helaas is hij kapot sinds vorige week (ben erop gaan zitten…). Dusja, nu ben ik ook wel op zoek naar een nieuwe zonnebril! Wss ga ik deze keer voor een echte RayBan pilotenbril gaan 🙂 Veel succes met kiezen haha! ♥

    First of all, did somebody undergo a blog redesign? I can't help but not that your blog looks different!

    I'm a redhead too and I think I can help you with this one – stay safe with the color choices. I too have wanted to do color but everytime I have, I've always gone back to safe browns and blacks. Good luck hunting!

    I have RayBan Wayfarers and am sooo pleased with them. As for the colour – I rather stay in the safe zone so I have a black pair of sunnies, but they're red on the inside so they're something special – that's why I love Wayfarers!

    You need to get some sunnies soon lady! I don't leave the house without a pair… and usually they are $10 cheapies from Target (because I am forgetful), but I recently WON an expensive pair in a blogger giveaway, and they are very amazing… amazing enough for me to never want to leave them! Happy sunglass hunting… and that sunny weather sounds great!
