I can't say it enough: I LOVE being lazy. My second of four weeks vacation has almost come to an end, and I just can't believe how fast they're going. What I do with all this lazy time you ask?

I love trying out new manicures while watching silly romcoms like this one, or this one.


I try out new recipes, like these nearly sugarless apple-muffins (Recipe: Mix 2 eggs, 15g of stevija zoetpoeder, 100g of honey, 20 cl cream, 340g of whole wheat flour, 4 tsp of baking powder, 170g of peeled and chopped apples and 1 tsp of cinnamon, put the dough in your greased muffin tin and bake for 25min at 180°C).


Naturally, I can spend hours glued to my computer, pinning or reading my favourite blogs, accompanied by my new teapot.


Or I entertain friends with a cheeseplatter and think all day about how my table-setting will look like.


Oh golly, how I will miss my free time when I have to get back to work...

Lookbook: Short dungarees

Hi there!

How was your Monday? Mine has been filled with painting doors, which means I'm now typing this post with terribly paint-stained fingers - oh golly, there goes my manicure. Anyhow, I also managed to take some time and look at the Tommy Ton streetstylesnaps from the couture shows on Style.com and instantly fell in love with this cute look:



Image. Dungarees (Topshop, €49). Sunglasses (Asos, €6,63). Féline T-shirt (Brian Lichtenberg, €66,55). Really Red nailpolish (Essie, €11,99). Shoulder bag (Alexander Wang, €1100). Love bracelet (Limited edition, €7,95). Pearl Necklace (Topshop, €36).

I personally love how the childish air of the dungarees is balanced out by a typically ladylike pearl necklace. What do you think?

Bits of my life: Pops of glamour

To my humble opinion, the secret of being completly content with everyday life, is adding a little pop of glamour to it every now and then. For example?

Two weeks ago I went to see The Great Gatsby with my sister and cousin - I know, don't get me started on how late we were to go check it out, but we desperately wanted to see it together and unfortunately our agenda's don't match very well. Anyhow, the movie itself might be considered a glamour-overdose by some, I however decided to take it up a notch by adding just a pinch of Gatsby glamour to my look! A vintage sparkly batwing top, Art Deco-ish earrings and a dash of YSL no. 1 did just the trick.


Another newfound source of glam and luxury in my life is my Diptyque Figuier candle. I got it for my birthday last month (thank you Stefanie and Aurélie!) and have enjoyed it's scent almost every evening since then. A delicious yoghurt, banana, pecan nut and maple syrup snack and an issue of Vogue make my night complete.


And if peonies won't give me a glamourous feel, what will? It get's even better if I enjoy them together with a tiny homemade chocolate cake. (Mix two eggs together with 100g of sugar, add 50g of self-rising flour and 40g of cacao and mix, add 80g of melted butter and 125g of mashed raspberries. Put a tablespoon of batter in every cupcake liner and one cube of chocolate in the middle of every cake. Bake for 15mins on 200°C).

Sale shopping!

G'day fellow fashion lovers,

In case you haven't noticed (which I highly doubt) sale season is upon us! Now, I don't know about you but in times like these, I prefer not to waste time rummaging around in highstreet stores with the rest of the mob. Instead I like to take a look at the lovely excuisite stuff I can otherwise not afford. And that, m'dears, is exactly what I did all day yesterday. I managed to reduce the content of my overflowing shopping baskets to the selection below, but even though I would save over €2000 by buying these pieces while they're on sale, I'm afraid the total amount of the purchase would still make me approximately bankrupt...



Silk printed shirt (Tory Burch, €195 €97,50). Dotted sequin sweater (Thakoon Addition, €387,20 €154,88). White sweater (Alexander Wang, €477 €195). Tweed dress (Diane Von Furstenberg, €390 €194). Textured pencil skirt (Moschino Cheap and Chic, €296,45 €88,94). Grid pants (J.Crew, €515 €154,50). Printed vinyl clutch (Marni, €190 €95). Crystal teardrop earrings (Tom Binns, €262 €156). Ankle boots (Reed Krakoff, €520 €260). Calf hair slippers (Charles Philip Shangai, €190 €94). Arty ring (Saint Laurent Paris, €195 €78). Printed pumps (Dries Van Noten, €529 €375).

What pieces would you advise me to invest in?
