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!

Long time no ginger hair in this feed 💁‍♀️✨

Throwback to a very spontaneous and verrry last-minute road trip to Normandy with @kristienjom last summer. We wanted a location where we could easily spend 4 days without having to travel too far or to the usual suspects (Germany, anyone?). @lehavre_etretat_tourisme had been on my to-visit list for a long time (thanks to a blog post by @dichtbijenverweg) and I convinced my friend to tag along with the promise of French wine bars and beautiful white cliffs. More on those white cliffs later. Today it's just me, my red hair and a white concrete vulcano (aka the cultural center of Le Havre).

Casual Style, Spring/Summer, Style · 29 July 2013

Sporty Spice Weekend Wear

What I am wearing – Shorts: Vila • T-shirt: Only Sport • Ring: Louche • Flats: Nine West


We’re almost half way through our summer, but the weather won’t show for it. It has been H.O.T. out here so a pair of shorts and a breezy T-shirt were more than welcome during this intense heat. These photos were taken somewhere on a bright and sunny afternoon last week, so hence why the photos are so overexposed and saturated. I wasn’t sure about posting these, but hey, you have the right to see what my real heatwave fashion is like too! 

A gigantic thunderstorm kept me awake on Saturday, and as sleeping was not an option I started worrying about things happening in my life. Will I be smart enough to succeed at university? (m I doing good enough at blogging? Have I been spending too much? Am I taking enough chances? Am I spending my vacation time useful enough? This ever so pressuring, rotating thought mill crushed the potential of sleeping at all on that wild night. 

The thing is. We sort of buried our plans to make a longer trip in September as our financials haven’t been as balanced as we had hoped. We’re toying with some nearly impossible ideas about road tripping the West-Coast next year, but I’m not gaining much hope from idle ideas like that one. Suddenly, in the middle of my thought process, I remembered about the promise I made to myself. The one where I pledged to travel alone and not be scared about it. I woke up Sunday – Surprisingly, I had some sleep after all – with a sleepy and painfully pounding head, but a very clear idea of what I had to do. “There’s a bus leaving for Canterbury again on august 10th and I have to get on it!” – I said to myself. And so it happened, I mailed the bus company a reservation form and now have my fingers crossed there’s still a seat available. And that my boss won’t call me to work. That too.
