Say hello to my little friend ๐Ÿ‘‹ 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 ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

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 in the seclond picture ๐Ÿ˜‰

๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ“Œ: 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 ๐Ÿ˜Œ I st Today I miss good old fashion blogging ๐Ÿ˜Œ 

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?? ๐Ÿ˜…

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 ๐Ÿงก

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? โœจ

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 Rรฉge-Jean Page's butt ๐Ÿ˜ณ I can't help but wonder... what the *bleep* did I just watch? ๐Ÿ˜…

Happy Friday guys! You've made it throgh the second week of 2021 ๐Ÿฅณ If you don't have any plans for the weekend yet, Bridgerton is available on Netflix ๐Ÿ˜‰

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! โœจ

Happy New Year! ๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿพ 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.

The Best White Lace Blouses of the Season

top: Vila | jeans: Mango | shoes: Aldo | bag: Hilfiger (c/o SKM)

I have this thing with white lace, crochet and embroidery. Currently I have three white laces dresses and one white lace blouse hanging in my wardrobe and there’s a – hopefully – gorgeous crochet top on its way to my doorstep. It’s safe to say I have an addiction, haha. Finding that perfect lace design in a good quality fabric was not easy, though. I’ve been wanting and searching for pretty lace items for years and and years without any luck and then suddenly I found SO many! I had to make choices (it’s not okay to have 5 white crochet tops, right?), but my shopaholic heart is still aching so much that I might get the blouses I passed on anyway if they’re still available next month, haha. Since I received a lot of questions and compliments about my white lace blouse from Whistles I thought I’d share all of my recent finds on the blog today! Enjoy shopping while I go wait impatiently by the doorstep for the mailman to arrive with my package!

Shop my favorite white lace blouses

1. Whistles Penny Lace Crop Top (โ‚ฌ195) | 2. Garcia Jeans Slim Fit Crochet Shirt (โ‚ฌ69.99) | 3. VILA Feminine Lace Blouse (โ‚ฌ44,95) | 4. Glamorous Broderie Anglaise Blouse (โ‚ฌ57) | 5.

    I find that happens a lot – you never find something then you suddenly find a lot of it and indulge! I say get them all anyway, haha! ๐Ÿ™‚ You look so good in white, and I love how lace looks with denim ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hope you have had a lovely weekend ๐Ÿ™‚
