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 😉

Striped Maxi Dress for Summer

Hello there! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have another outfit for you.

I am not usually a fan of maxi dresses, but I happily made an exception for this one. I don’t like to wear maxi length things because I have a pretty shapeless body and therefore maxi dresses tend to just look like giant potato sacks on me. Thanks to it’s racer style top, the open back and the ankle length, this dress does feel like a good fit for me and I have loved wearing it this summer. It’s a souvenir that I brought from Poland last year.

The one thing that I didn’t think of when I put on this dress one glorious day in August, is that I have a puppy who likes to bite things. Especially things that float gracefully in front of its nose. My one and only beloved maxi dress now has two holes in it that align perfectly with Ozzy’s canines. Get a puppy they said, it will be fun they said… . Oh well, haha!

I wish you all a good start of the week!

Outfit Details:
Maxidress: The Odderside (last year)
bag: unkown brand (bought via STAY boutique in Antwerp)
Slippers: Dune London ‘loupe’ slides (bought via De Bijenkorf)

In: Casual Style, Spring/Summer, Style

    It’s such a beautiful maxi dress on you and the classic stripes will go with everything! What a shame it got a little bitten though, haha! While we adopted Cooper so he didn’t have a biting stage as he was past the puppy months, I still have to consider what I wear around the kids, haha! I dress a lot more casually now!

    Hope that your week is off to a good start 🙂

    Oh no! I hope the holes don’t get any worse! I remember how difficult it was to keep the kids’ toys away from our dog when he was a puppy! This dress is beautiful on you!

    I have to admit that I giggled a little about the puppy story. Hahahaha. Love how this maxi looks on you, flawless. I have a few shorter maxi dresses, or maybe more like midi dresses that I like, but being on the shorter end I find most hand way too long for me. I think yours is the perfect length.
