To become a swan you must first be an ugly ducklin To become a swan you must first be an ugly duckling 🐣

Say hello to my little friend 👋 We met at "Cycling Through the Water" in Belgium. He was mostly interested in the contents of my back pack and willingly posed for a few pictures, hoping I would share my snacks. Unfortunately for him, this girl does not share snacks! Once he realised he wasn't going to get anything, he dumped me for another tourist 🤷‍♀️

This idyllic spot can be found along the popular hiking and cycling network between Bokrijk and National Park Hoge Kempen in Limburg (which happen to be two of my favorite places in the province!). My friend and I arrived just in time for sunset and enjoyed a little walk around. It was a Tuesday evening in December, but still lots and lots of people were hanging out and social distancing wasn't always easy on the narrow paths. I am casually hiding my mask and other people in the second picture 😉

📸📌: Fietsen door het water, knooppunt 91, Bokrijk. You can park your car on the payed parking lots of Bokrijk and walk to the exact location ( +/- 1km). Interested in a longer hike/bike ride? Look up De Wijers cyclist network and outline your favorite route!

Today I miss good old fashion blogging 😌 I st Today I miss good old fashion blogging 😌 

I still think about that time (2012-2013-ish) a lot and it makes me sad because it will never be like that again. Going out to shoot 2x a week, edit and post pictures to the internet, writing a blurb of text about myself and then on to read as many other blogs as I could find. I don't know how I ever found the time to do all of that?? 😅

Not that it was all rosy. I remember I was unhappy about my blog, always wanting it to be better and have more outfits to share. But now I look back on those days and realize that it WAS the peak moment. I definitely wasn't the most well-known fashion blogger with the bestest sponsorships, but I was having an enjoyable time with enjoyable people.

This picture is from a shoot I did for the blog this Fall. I love how these photos came out!! Everything was perfect: from the fair-isle sweater I looked for for YEARS to the light and the colorful foliage. I love when that happens 🧡

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 😉

Casual Style, Fall/Winter, Style · 23 November 2015

Farewell Fall

The fields are covered in an ice cold white dust. The heat in the bus is on. It came ten minutes late, by the way. My feet freeze as soon as they touch the Roosevelt stones. Maybe All Stars weren’t the best choice this morning? I do not have a new winter coat and I’ve thrown out last years, so I’m covered in ten layers of sweaters. When I walk by my favorite coffee place I’m dying for a hot chocolate and warmth. I can’t feel my feet by the time I’m in the library. Winter fell. It’s so surreal to see the bare branches, feel the frost, see the first snow.

But before we dive into the Holidays, hot chocolate with whipped cream, snow walks, campfires and fireworks I have one last fall look to share. The dress is from Madewell and it’s a little (or much?) too short, but for some reason I don’t care so much. With opaque tights, tall boots and blazer the whole outfit stays modest I think. This blazer was never a favorite, but because the dress doesn’t seem to work well with anything in my fall/winter wardrobe, I’ve been pairing the two together. Two negatives give a positive!
I don’t really have much to say. My inspiration level currently stands at 0, because I’m quickly typing out this post between reading two papers for my thesis. That thing just won’t ever finish. Grrrr. I have childcare policy and uptake of parental leave on my mind and should probably get back to it. I hope you guys had a splendid weekend, and I’ll see you soon!

    Definitely don’t think that dress is too short, and it’s perfect with the tights and the brown accessories 🙂

    Enjoy your snow! I know it’s prettier to look at than it is to travel in every day, but hopefully you get lots of opportunity to sit in the coffee shop in the heat watching the snow fall! 🙂

    I really like the dress actually 🙂 Not to short at all, especially with black panties and boots.

    With the tights, it stays modest enough and seems downright like chic office wear with the blazer. 😀
