3 days, 95km, the entire Belgian coastline 💥 T 3 days, 95km, the entire Belgian coastline 💥

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. 

Virtual 🥂 and 🍰 for all of you!

Casual Style, Fall/Winter, Style · 1 October 2012

Spot On

Forever 21 necklace & tee // Hema cardigan // ICHI skirt // Footwork boots // H&M tights
I have a driving lesson this morning. At 8am. And I haven’t slept all night. Because people, I get SO nervous when I think about driving. I took lessons last year and was actually ready to take my test and (according to my coach) had a significant chance to pass with succes. But I stepped out of the drivers seat and never took place there again. If it was up to me, I’d take busses and trains to get me from A to B for the rest of my life.  But it’s not up to me anymore. I need a driver license for my internship. That internship starts February 4th, so that gives me 4 months and 4 days to get some serious driving skills and pass that test. “Hashtag dramaqueen”.
On a brighter note, I scored at F21 last week. I was over the moon when I read they were opening stores in Belgium, but when I stepped in there the first time my dissapointment was huge. Terrible fabrics that glue to your tights, plastic gemstones and ripped sweaters galore, I was wondering where everybody found the pretty stuff. Last week was my lucky week and I scored this cute Tee, this tribal-ish necklace and a bat sleeved sweater in cute aztec print. To top it all off the mailman dilivered my Zalando package containing my ultimate fall basic: this navy skirt from Ichi. It’s all sorts of awesomeness. My week was all sorts of awesomeness. Except for the driving lessons… Oh boy!

    Great outfit, as always! And I'm sure you're gonna rock those driving lessons – it's always hard, I had a lot of troubles too. But as soon as you get the driving licence and start driving on your own, it's like a whole new world. You get so used to driving that it's the same as sitting on the couch in your living room (my mom told me this comparison once, lol, but it's actually like that!).

    Driving is so scary when you start. I used to grip the steering wheel so tightly that my hands hurt after driving. I still did this long after getting my license. I also only got my license on the 6th try.

    But it gets easier and you start doing things more naturally and you can even talk while driving when you don't have to concentrate so hard anymore 😀

    Forever 21 is very hit and miss–just check every now and then and you'll stumble across great things. (: As for the license, if I could avoid needing to drive, I most certainly would. As things stand now, I am hoping to be able to move and rely way more on public transit. GOOD LUCK with your quest to get your driver's license!
