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 😉

Chapter 2020 comes to and end as we turn the page Chapter 2020 comes to and end as we turn the page I want to thank you all for your support this year. 💗

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 😉

Spring/Summer, Style, Work Wear · 14 July 2014

The Wild One

skirt: Massimo Dutti • t-shirt: Zara • tank top: Forever 21 • sandals: Tamaris 

K is well on his way to the USA, somewhere between Continental Europe and Iceland right now I believe, and I’m sitting behind my computer with a cup of iced coffee and a mind full of thoughts. It has been a while, hasn’t it? July 1st, apparently. Wow. I haven’t been doing my best for The Ginger Diaries the past couple of months, and have not even yet set up a blog-rescue plan. I’m just going with the flow for a while. I’ll tell you more later.
Not that I didn’t have things to blog about! The first weeks of my summer vacation were so. much. fun. My friend J and I went out for drinks, had breakfast together and went to Leuven for a good old girls-day-out with a lot of shopping and good food included. Ka and I went out for breakfast too, and I spent a day in East-Flanders barbecuing and cheering for team Belgium in the World Cup quarter final. We lost that game, but we didn’t let it bother our happy hearts. Last week, however, was a little less fun. Our chimney had somehow filled with water and it had slowly seeped through the walls causing large damp spots on some of the walls upstairs. I spent the week in ugly old overalls painting and painting and painting some more. Not exactly how I was planning to spent my days off, but on on the upside: it gave us a good excuse to visit ikea three times (read: three times free coffee, cinnamon rolls and apple-crumble pie)! 
About the outfit then. First of all: excuse the messy, frizzy hair. It was very humid outside, I forgot my anti-frizz spray and couldn’t get my do tamed in any way, haha. Hence the title of this post! The bottom-half of my look were gifts from my parents. The skirt is one I tried on when I was on vacation in Lisbon earlier this year, but I was on a shopping-ban and couldn’t take it home with me. I kept thinking about it, and when it finally went on sale this month my mom surprised me by ordering it online for me! My t-shirt is a golden oldie. I think it’s about 5 years old. I basically never wear it, yet it has survived many closet clean-outs. It’s such a good basic and I simply can’t part ways with it somehow. Thankfully, because it proved to be the perfect match for this olive pencil skirt!
