50 shades of white ๐Ÿค House update: the notary 50 shades of white ๐Ÿค

House update: the notary sent us a first draft thingy of the certificate and we have received mortgage proposals from the first two banks as well. It starts to feel official now! I  must admit that all this paperwork isn't my cup of tea, so I've been creating inspiriation boards on Pinterest to remind myself what it's all for. Once the paperwork is done and the house is officially ours, we will start the search for an architect. One step at the time ๐Ÿ™

A few of you have asked if we're moving, but no, we are not. We are buying the house that we've been renting from family for the past 5 years.

Our 13-year-old car broke down last weekend and we have to pick up our replacement car today. Pick-up point is in Turnhout (where I grew up) and I'm thinking we need to make a day trip out of it! The weather forecast is blessing us with the promise of sunshine and very pleasant temperatures for this time of year, so I'm happy as a bumble bee in a sea of lavender.

Satisfying my travel lust close to home ๐Ÿ˜Œ The Satisfying my travel lust close to home ๐Ÿ˜Œ

The High Fens are my favorite place to go hiking in winter. In "normal years" we don't meet a soul out there, but this year the whole of Belgium agreed this was the Fens were the place to be. Maybe the fact that it was the only corner of our country covered with snow had something to do with that ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Little did we know a cold front would hit all of Europe just a few weeks later! ๐Ÿฅถ

To avoid the crowds on the Fens, we stayed lower on the map and parked somewhere between Jalhay and Solwaster. I know the Ardennes quiet well, because I spent the first 16 summers of my life there. I still remember places that are less visited and also just driving around without a plan and stopping by places that look interesting helps (that's what we did on this trip, so don't ask me about the specific location ๐Ÿ˜…). How much I hated the Ardennes by the time I was 16, so much I appreciate knowing the region now that everyone is forced to vacation close to home.

What's your favorite way to travel in Belgium?

When I was a child, I was certain of the fact that When I was a child, I was certain of the fact that "adulthood" was a perfectly defined phase of life that you enetred the day you had 1) a job and 2) moved out of your parental home. As if you'd wake up the next day and be an adult who had everything together, never ate snacks before dinner and always had the last word in discussions. 

I moved out 6 years ago and have worked for 5 years, but I still snack before dinner and am very far from having my stuff together. But finally today I felt a hint of what my child-self dreamt adulthood would be like. I was calling banks to make appointments to discuss mortgage loans and I realized: this is it. I am adulting.

We woke up in a winter wonderland yesterday! We didn't go out to enjoy it or shoot pictures because we were too busy designing kitchen layouts for the house. I have a perfect vision in my mind of how I want things to look, but the house is too small to fit everything in and still make it aesthetically pleasing (and building an extension is ๐Ÿ’ธ). It's a difficult puzzle to make and I'm not good at letting the image I had in my head go, so yeah... not the relaxing weekend I hoped for ๐Ÿ˜ฌ I'm sure it will all be fine in the end!

So Much Hair

Denim shirt: American Eagle โ€ข Pencil skirt: H&M โ€ข Boots: Men at work โ€ข Necklace: Forever 21 โ€ข Tights: Veritas
While going through this set of pictures in my photo folder, I quickly realized that these photos might not make it to the blog after all. The harbor is not the best place to go for outfit pictures in the fall, I learned. Wind + long hair = a messy business. Add rain and you get a recipe for outfit-photo-disaster. I am hopelessly trying to tuck my hair away in 99% of the pictures we took that day and let just that be one of the rules of outfit photography: leave your hands out of your hair. I’m also toe-gazing. And avoiding the camera. Someone better call the fashion police.
On a brighter note: my J.Crew package arrived and I am super excited about the white lace top that I bought for myself! If all goes well, it should be on the blog soon.  It was a splurge, buying this item, but it’ll be perfect for the Holidays. I plan on wearing it with my faux-leather shorts and a sparkly necklace for NYE and it also pairs really well with the pencil skirt in todays outfit. Speaking of the Holidays, I am completely in the dark about what to gift to the boyfriend. I just prepared my handbag so I can head to the shopping street and collect some inspiration after I finish my post. I really should list everything he mentions throughout the year. It would make gift shopping so much easier! I wanted to shop for gifts early this year, so that I could avoid the big crowds in December, but it looks like I’ll have to defy them after all. I do not have a single spark of inspiration, and when I ask the boy himself, all he says he wants is me with a ribbon in my hair. If that were true, than maybe I should have ordered that plaid shirt I wanted from J.Crew too.

50 shades of white ๐Ÿค House update: the notary 50 shades of white ๐Ÿค

House update: the notary sent us a first draft thingy of the certificate and we have received mortgage proposals from the first two banks as well. It starts to feel official now! I  must admit that all this paperwork isn't my cup of tea, so I've been creating inspiriation boards on Pinterest to remind myself what it's all for. Once the paperwork is done and the house is officially ours, we will start the search for an architect. One step at the time ๐Ÿ™

A few of you have asked if we're moving, but no, we are not. We are buying the house that we've been renting from family for the past 5 years.

Our 13-year-old car broke down last weekend and we have to pick up our replacement car today. Pick-up point is in Turnhout (where I grew up) and I'm thinking we need to make a day trip out of it! The weather forecast is blessing us with the promise of sunshine and very pleasant temperatures for this time of year, so I'm happy as a bumble bee in a sea of lavender.

Satisfying my travel lust close to home ๐Ÿ˜Œ The Satisfying my travel lust close to home ๐Ÿ˜Œ

The High Fens are my favorite place to go hiking in winter. In "normal years" we don't meet a soul out there, but this year the whole of Belgium agreed this was the Fens were the place to be. Maybe the fact that it was the only corner of our country covered with snow had something to do with that ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Little did we know a cold front would hit all of Europe just a few weeks later! ๐Ÿฅถ

To avoid the crowds on the Fens, we stayed lower on the map and parked somewhere between Jalhay and Solwaster. I know the Ardennes quiet well, because I spent the first 16 summers of my life there. I still remember places that are less visited and also just driving around without a plan and stopping by places that look interesting helps (that's what we did on this trip, so don't ask me about the specific location ๐Ÿ˜…). How much I hated the Ardennes by the time I was 16, so much I appreciate knowing the region now that everyone is forced to vacation close to home.

What's your favorite way to travel in Belgium?

This little fluffball didn't know what happened last January, when we let her out of the car in the middle of a winter wonderland. How unsure she was about the cold mushy mush, so much she loves frolicking through it today. Lucky for her, our very own garden has been covered in snow for the past few days โ„๏ธ

When I was a child, I was certain of the fact that When I was a child, I was certain of the fact that "adulthood" was a perfectly defined phase of life that you enetred the day you had 1) a job and 2) moved out of your parental home. As if you'd wake up the next day and be an adult who had everything together, never ate snacks before dinner and always had the last word in discussions. 

I moved out 6 years ago and have worked for 5 years, but I still snack before dinner and am very far from having my stuff together. But finally today I felt a hint of what my child-self dreamt adulthood would be like. I was calling banks to make appointments to discuss mortgage loans and I realized: this is it. I am adulting.

We woke up in a winter wonderland yesterday! We didn't go out to enjoy it or shoot pictures because we were too busy designing kitchen layouts for the house. I have a perfect vision in my mind of how I want things to look, but the house is too small to fit everything in and still make it aesthetically pleasing (and building an extension is ๐Ÿ’ธ). It's a difficult puzzle to make and I'm not good at letting the image I had in my head go, so yeah... not the relaxing weekend I hoped for ๐Ÿ˜ฌ I'm sure it will all be fine in the end!

The very last of the autumn photos that I have on my camera roll. We just finished shooting my blundstone pictures when I noticed this little one watch us from atop the fence. I wonder what he thought of my awkward posing ๐Ÿค” He flew off as soon as I came closer (as birds do) and I went on to the local coffee shop for a warm cuppa. 

Happy Tuesday!
