i’m not particularly into home bars. they mostly look untidy, catch a lot of dust quickly and generally often lack a certain ‘female vibe’, as they’re mostly boyish. that’s not true for all bars, though. for this fabulous chariot, i’d make an exception. the whimsy, vintage looking paraphernalia is inviting and looks ready to putContinue reading
i’m a fan of all musky scents. ever since a friend of mine introduced me to this amazing, powdery perfum, i can’t seem to get enough of it. it’s like my drug. at first, it smells slightly of cleaning dergent. but give it a mere ten minutes, and it fully develops its lovely, deep sweet,Continue reading
i’m going to be all mean on you and tell you this: i’m off for a long(ish) spa weekend now! i’ve got to relax a little and clear my head (and maybe eat some really good food, like, three times a day…). i’m talking beautiful scenery (the snowy woods on all sides of the hotel),Continue reading
while the boys of this (and our neighbor’s) nation all occupy our tvs tonight (apparently a major soccer event), why not think about what cupcake color you could paint your nails? i’m going for minty green with pink glitter… picture source

in a hectic week, where maybe a dinner date was canceled, nothing sounds more appealing than preparing a simple, fuss-free dinner for two. something that says ‘i care for you’ but doesn’t consume all of the quality time to prepare. this is maybe not the healthiest of sorts, but definitely a new favorite: naan pizza.Continue reading
lately, i’ve been so obsessed with redecoration plans… i would love to paint our walls, to reupholster an old couch and to revamp vintage finds from the brocante. and i’m currently in love with four things: pairs, vintage frames (with a chalkboard inside, no less), reduced bedrooms and walls with many little frames. plus i’veContinue reading
aloo gobi is my new favorite dish. it’s a fragrant mix of cauliflower (gobi), potatoes (aloo) and spices. the one-pot hot vegetarian dish is light and healthy, and simple to make. don’t shy away just because you’ll need a few unfamiliar spices! i made this in between a marathon dvd session last weekend, when iContinue reading
got a new hair cut! i’m usually dreading a visit at the hair dresser’s, as it never turns out the way i want it to. and mostly, i down-right regret going there. here’s the before and after. quite a bit of my dry ends got cut, which really was necessary. and i got a fewContinue reading
aren’t quail eggs the cutest eggs ever? i love how dotted and sprinkled they are, and the texture and color variety to come in. when i saw these at our local supermarket, i had to buy them. though i’m not sure wether i wanted them for breakfast, primarily, or to shoot them. in the end,Continue reading
