Drinking my sorrows away... ☕ Whenever my mind Drinking my sorrows away... ☕ 

Whenever my mind is full and the burnout symptoms creep back in, I like to go out for a coffee and an aimless walk around town 😌

There aren't many things that ground me like the feeling of a hot cuppa in my hand and the smell of freshly roasted coffee beans in my nose. A true cup of comfort, you could say! ❤️

My least favorite days of the year are coming up. My least favorite days of the year are coming up. That lost time between mid january and mid March, when it's still cold and dark outside, nature is bare and holidays are far away. I cannot wait for wild bluesbells to pop up and magnolia buds to slowly fold open. How about you? ✨

PS: forgive me my latergrams from Fall, but I think you all know how bad I am at posting consistently by now. I'd hate for these photos to be lost on my camera roll.

BAM! 2021 sure welcomed us with open arms, didn't BAM! 2021 sure welcomed us with open arms, didn't it? 

I took a two week hiatus from the good ole Gram to get used to my new longer working hours and binge Bridgerton. Am I the only one who thinks that show is a hot mess? It's basically a 1800s costume drama but with taylor swift on violins and the occasional close-up of Rége-Jean Page's butt 😳 I can't help but wonder... what the *bleep* did I just watch? 😅

Happy Friday guys! You've made it throgh the second week of 2021 🥳 If you don't have any plans for the weekend yet, Bridgerton is available on Netflix 😉

It was a year of many lows that taught me how to find my highs in the little things. Despite the tough times, there were also plenty of moments filled with friends, coffee & rose wine, little escapes in my own country and... A PUPPY! Thank you all for following along! ✨

Happy New Year! 🥂🍾 I don't know what will be written in chapter 2021, but I'm hoping for 365 pages full of love and light for all of us.

Ps: the photos from Valencia, Helsinki and Tallinn were made in 2019 but posted in 2020 🙈 I did not travel abroad this past year.

Since I am living in limbo too, here's a thowback to when I could still buy my mulled wine from a cute Austrian market stall rather than the local grocery store. I smuggled that mug home, so the heartbreak isn't too bad 😉

The Setting Sun

pants: Zara • blouse: Unic • crop top: Forever 21 • sandals: Marco Tozi via Torfs • handbag: Carpisa
If you look well, or maybe you noticed immediately, the quality of these outfit shots is poor. Very poor. I’ve been experiencing trouble for a while now when I edit my photos, and have decided to try and shoot in RAW next time, to have more control over the outcome of my photos. I have one more series shot in JPEG (yes, yes, I know) to share and then hopefully the grain you see in the photos above will be a problem of the past! 
This week is going to be both nerve-wrecking and fun. In T-14 days I have my first exam and I am not ready at all. It’s the end of the semester, and I can not only feel it, but actually see it because of the pile of papers, notes and syllabus that is on my desk. How in the world is all of that going to fit into my head before the 26th!? On the other hand, I have two very exciting blog events on the agenda this week too! On the 16th of May, the & Other Stories store in Antwerp will be opening its doors to the public, but I’ll be celebrating the pre-opening together with almost every other blogger I’ve come to know in the past years. It’ll be so much fun, and since I have a little money saved I can maybe spoil myself with a gift to ease my exam stress. I’m also going to stop by the Magnum Pleasure Bar, a concept where you can design your very own Magnum, for a little comfort food before I lock myself inside during my three week exam period. Unlike previous years, my concepts are filled to the brim with fun posts that I still want to share, so I will hopefully not have to take a blogging break during my exams! Are you guys excited? I am!
This outfit was shot on the same day as the previous one. And the outfit I’ll share next week was too. Being so busy with school means I have to be creative to get my blog content ready in time, so I’ve been combining my outfit shoots, haha. This one was shot on our way home from the frozen yogurt store, on the last sunny day we’ve had in two weeks. I sort of forgot I wore a open-back shirt for the outfit shoot earlier that day, but I’ve been wanting to share this shirt on the blog since I got it in July last year. I finally got a chance now, and even though I had hoped the quality of the photos would be better, I still like them very much. I hope you do too! I’m off for some more paper-reading tonight, I hope you guys are looking at a beautiful week!

    Weer een leuke outfit met dé broek! Je hebt toch wel wat leuks op de agenda staan om de pijn van de examens te verzachten. Ik wens je in ieder geval heel veel succes! Ik heb thuis ook een enorme papierstapel, maar dat is achterstallige boekhouding en geen cursussen. Het vereist ook nachtwerk, dus I share your pain 😀

    I combine outfit shoots sometimes too. The quality of these does not seem so bad to me, but shooting in RAW is nice.

    Good luck on your exams and have fun at the blog event

    P.S. I will never stop loving you in these pants. Very chic.
