i’ve been a huge fan of moncler, ever since i was a little child. since my mom is very italy-oriented (not only when it comes to lifestyle and food but also when it comes to fashion) we were wearing those typical moncler down jackets (in navy blue, of course) with the matching lambs wool pulloversContinue reading
yesterday my friend isi came over for dinner. isi and i got to know each other at the first day of university, while we were waiting in line to get our ‘freshman package’. when isi introduced herself as ‘isabel’ i said ‘wow cool, i always wanted a friend with the name isabel so i couldContinue reading
last week i got this really great cookbook by yotam otolenghi, called ‘plenty’, from my dear friend sasa (and her mom, jane, actually). i fell in love with it in an instant, and after reading through it more elaborately i made a list of recipes that i want to cook. in my own words, i’dContinue reading
i’m allowed to spend the weekend with three really cool kids i got to know this summer during the wedding escape. so, yeah of course i’ve been making plans all week, making my mind up as to what would be the ideal program for all of them (aged eight, ten and twelve). and, luckily, i’veContinue reading
a woman’s search for the ideal companion is long and exhausting. constant, never-ending, interminable, even, some times. you know i’ve been on that search for the perfect ‘beautiful big black bag’ for quite some time now. without succeeding. how come a woman can have so many (not too many, just actually enough) bags, but stillContinue reading

i’ve got a hard time working on this post, since i cut my finger very badly this afternoon while chopping some parsley (the nail is split in two… very pretty). not enough, i passed out over the cut. but no worries, i’m fine now. only sorry to my colleague who wanted to shoot my handsContinue reading
i consider myself a pretty strong person. not physically (obviously) but mentally. not much can really make me keel over. i’m not a drama queen (most of the time, anyway), because i believe a lady should keep her composure at any minute. and i’m certainly not high maintenance, so that helps, too (what with expectationContinue reading
i’ve been single* for most of my life (* god… i hate how that makes it sound like it’s a disease or something…). so, yes, you could probably say i’m an expert at being single. and no, i am not thinking about jumping into the lake and drowning myself, just right now (sorry to letContinue reading
as a child, i thought being a child was the best thing in the world. i never wanted to grow up. and one day i even actively decided against growing up. of course, that didn’t work… but it most certainly delayed my becoming an adult. it took me a really long time to finally be aContinue reading
