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!

AD | Finding The Perfect Ankle Boots

In fall you need ankle boots. We all know that right? I bought my dream pair of ankle boots in a sale two years ago, but after the snowy winters of ’11 and ’12 they are completely ruined. This year, I should remember to clean up my shoes after walking the salt-covered streets. Actually, most of my shoes are in a bad shape and that’s why I’ve teamed up with Spartoo this winter. Spartoo is an online shoe retailer offering lots of different brands on just one website and was so gentle to offer their help in my personal color challenge. I originally challenged myself to wear more color, but since my black boots are is such awful condition, I decided it would be best to get my basic shoes ready before I start with something more daring for me. While going through all the black ankle boots, I noticed I was mostly draw to either western-inspired booties like the Refresh boots and the Clarks’ above. I do feel like they have a quite defined style though, and knowing myself well it’s probably better if I go with a more basic pair like the ones from Pare Gabia or Jonak. I already have a pair of Jonak ankle booties and love their quality and fit. So now I’m really torn between these four options. Should I stick with a basic model, or should I go west? 

ONE Shiny leather Khan ankle boots by Pare Gabia €158.40 • TWO western-inspired Lugo ankle boots by Refresh €49.95 • THREE Melanie ankle boots by Clarks €109.95 • FOUR Doddy ankle boots with silver tip by Jonak €99.00

    2 and 4 are my favourites, but you can't go wrong with any of your choices! A black ankle boot is definitely a staple in cooler weather 🙂

    I prefer my ankle boots to be a bit higher, so that they just cover the ankle. I don't know if that still makes them ankle boots or not though 🙂

    Number 1! Have you looked into water proofing your leather? Whenever I get a good pair of leather shoes, I spray them to protect them from the elements. Your local shoe repair shop should have something.

    #2 is definitely my favorite but that's because I'm drawn to suede booties. I just bought my first pair in taupe and LOVE them. Black is next on my list.

    I bought a pair similar to #1 but had to return them because they scraped against my ankle bone and hurt so much. Just be careful with boots that low!
