Bits of my life: Champagne

31 Jul 2013

Bonjour à tous!

This Wednesday I would like to state that there ain't nothing more fabulous than popping a bottle of Moët & Chandon on Sunday evening without having any special occasion for it. Well, we did want to celebrate that finally all our doors got their last coat of glossy black paint (my nails are very gratefull as well), but most of all we just wanted to toast on the fact that is was one of those perfect summer evenings.

And you wanna know what I think? I think we should all do that a lot more often!

Oh, how do you like my little faux-tattoo by the way? It's Bourjois!

Looklove: Leather pants and leopard loafers

30 Jul 2013

Bonjour mes chéries!

I'm writing this post in between cake-baking. You see, I have dear friend of mine coming over in a few hours and I figured I'd better take Julia Child's advice with both hands and party things up with a slice of chocolate and pear cake. Since I can't actually let you have a taste of my cake, I will try to make it up with a healthy dose of fashion snacks.

It is no secret that I adore all things leopard. As of today however I have been feeling a specific leopard loafer crave. Put'em in the mixer with a pair of casual leather pants and a classy jacket and you get a delicously rich batter. Bake for 20 mins and serve with pendant necklace and a clutch, et voilà!

Bits of my life: To eat out, to order in and to cook

24 Jul 2013

I am a huge lover of food. That is above question. Please join me as I remenisce about three delightfull meals...

Eating out in Potatolicious in Ghent together with my beau, after visiting Het STAM. It's a lovely informal place where they serve large cooked potatoes, stuffed with different sorts of meat, fresh veggies and a variety of sauces.  I opted for a potato with chicken, barbeque sauce, orange, lettuce and sunflower seeds. In a word, yum!

Or cooking myself: a salad of tomatoes, basil and mozarella, harty zuchinni-cakes and tuna-salad. Simple but very good! Oh, how do you like my new pepper and saltshakers, by the way? I got them from my dear sister for my birthday.

Meet Madame Mirabelle!

22 Jul 2013

Hi-di-ho!

How was your Monday dear sweetpea's? I sure as hell hope it wasn't half as miserable as mine, for I have been strechted out on the couch all day sipping sage tea to sooth my sore throat. Which wouldn't even be that bad, if it wasn't about a gazillion degrees outside (and inside for that matter). Luckily the newest addition to our little household is here comfort me with her purrs and quirks... Dear readers, let me introduce you to Mirabelle!

Isn't she a doll?!

Fruit print

Fruit print

I say, m'dears, I have been feeling rather fruity these days. First of all I adore the above papaya print of Bouffants and Broken Hearts. In their webshop you can buy it as a framed art print, but also on an iPhone cover or a pillow. Ain't that great? It's a shame they don't sell it as a wall paper though, I think it would bringten up my toilet room jolly nice.

Secondly, I can't seem to get enough of fruitprinted garments. I even devoted an entire pinboard to it! Check it out here.

And thirdly, I adore a slice of fruit in my drink...Champagne Sangria, here I come!

Enjoy your weekend sweety pies!
