The Perfect Camel Trousers

I’m bringing some fall colors to brighten up your Blue Monday. Is everyone still standing in this most cheerless time of year? I typically enjoy January and only suffer from the winter blues in February and March. It helps that we are experiencing a mild winter this year. If only it doesn’t start snowing in May! The mild weather has allowed me to wear and re-wear my favorite fall outfits until now. Those gorgeous yellow leaves might be long gone, but I still wear this outfit out and about in January. Admittedly, I do drape a …

The €20 Skirt That Changed Me

The €20 Skirt That Changed Me

Mini skirts, they’ve never been my favorite. Until I found this wool one with a fine hounds tooth print in the most perfect fall colors. Bonus points: it was in the sales corner! I wasn’t even supposed to be in Uniqlo, but I had a really bad day and decided I deserved some shopping. My boyfriend was out with friends and I had the evening to spend alone so I went for it. It doesn’t help that I live in the middle between Belgium’s largest mall and Antwerp’s main shopping …

Long Blanket Cardigans Are My Best Friends

Long Blanket Cardigans Are My Best Friends

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Kicking off the year with a little celebration, because this blog turned 11 years old on January 1st! I celebrated with an embarrassing throwback on Instagram Stories today, so if you’re quick you might still catch those. People are having a good laugh at the very first outfit photos to graze these digitale pages in 2011 especially, haha. I am ofcourse writing up a few recap posts of the past decade for the ole blog too. Those will hopefully come your way soon. In person we ended 2019 with a lovely potluck dinner at a friends house…

Have you ever heard the saying “it is a marmite piece”? No? Well, let me explain, because it’s one of my favorites ways to describe ugly clothes that are kind of cool too. The saying refers to Marmite, a food paste that supposedly has a very distinctive taste. I’ve never tried it, but if their own marketing says “hate it or love it”, than I understand where the saying “a marmite piece” has come from haha! I heard some British YouTubers use the saying in their shopping hauls (my guilty …

My No-Fail Outfit Recipe

My No-Fail Outfit Recipe

A blazer outfit for Fall? Groundbreaking! Okay, so yes, I know that it is technically Winter now, but I haven’t found time to work on my Fall outfit posts so here we are. Temperatures have been very mild this year (it’s still 15°C), so quite honestly I can still get away with wearing ballet flats and a blazer as a coat when I have to run a quick errand. And I don’t mind, because I love love love this type of outfit. It is my no-fail outfit recipe: a flowy camisole a blazer …

My Favorite Coat for Fall

My Favorite Coat for Fall

Mi scusi… mi scusi… It looks like I’ve ghosted you again the past two weeks! I spent a week in Spain with my friend K and then things happened on the home and work front that kept me away from the internet for the last couple of days. My (only 6 months old and very expensive) phone also died, which should explain my absence from social media all together. It’s been a week, friends, it’s been a week. Spain was lovely though and scoring some pretty bits for my wardrobe during Black Friday …
