Paris

Just spent a couple of days wandering through the streets of Paris. The sun was shining (well, most of the time anyway), I ate some great food and bought a lot of stuff. Like sunglasses, a great novel and vibrant nail polish. I'm working on a list of all my favourite Paris spots, so to be continued...

Thanks for all of you who voted for my blog in the Weekend Blog Awards! I didn't win in my category, but am very happy to have gotten this far. Knowing that so many people love reading my blog, gives me the energy to continue sharing my likes & loves with you.

What I loved... in April

April was a great month. Highlight: my birthday celebrations. I went to Lille for a weekend with a friend to shop, eat and be merry. Followed by drinks & dinner with a bunch of friends and colleagues. And then off to the best birthday party ever - danced till the sun came peeking. What else? Got beautifully sanded wooden floorboards in my living room - the room seems even bigger. A day in the park with my brother & nephews, building sand castles and eating ice cream. Went to a concert by the Duke Ellington orchestra. Bought gorgeous silk fabric at the stocksale of Dries Van Noten - time to get the sewing machine out again.

Weekend wanderlust

Weekend! Time to kick back and relax after a busy week. Time to get inspired by Kristofer Johnson - love his interior photos. Time to cook lots of fresh food, like this nutty couscous salad and this lentil salad with haloumi from What Katie Ate. Time to wander and think about booking another city trip - while reading these city guides. Maybe Copenhagen? And time to finally finish reading this book, just in time for the release of the much anticipated movie. 

PS/ If you have some time this weekend, please vote for my blog. I'm nominated for a Weekend Blog Award!

Weekend blog awards

Almost fell of my chair yesterday, when I found out I'm nominated for a Weekend Blog Award. It was such a big surprise -  there was even some screaming involved...

I'm really proud that I'm selected for the second edition of the Weekend Knack's blog awards. Didn't think this little blog was good enough to be selected by a professional jury. Let alone to be considered a 'fashion blog' - with a couple of my favourite Belgian blogs in tow.

This blog started as a way to share my stories, loves & likes with you. It makes me very happy to read your comments and see that so many of you like to pass by. Please vote for my blog in this competition. My eternal gratitude will be yours...
