Ho Ho Ho! MERRY… you know the drill.

December 16, 2014 by Nathalie

I just couldn’t NOT do it. Make a Christmas wish list. I just couldn’t NOT fulfill all the clichés you expect from a girl like me when it comes to Christmas wish listings. Easy as pie, girls like me love: fashion, elegant books, stylish technology and ceramics in funny shapes. Oh…and I might have already ordered some of these for myself actually… In order of appearance: – Neon Boots: Shiny 4 – O’rèn Official: Belgique Belchique –> Don’t bother, already […]

Karolin Studio

December 2, 2014 by Ruth

I recently discovered this new jewelry brand which I can’t afford right now but I’m willing to save the money. Karolin, both the name of the creator and the brand, used to be specialized in designing all kinds of interiors before she made the big career move. But her love for rough materials never disappeared. In all the pieces of jewelry she makes, gemstones such as agate, druzy and geode are the central piece(s) of attention. Some are finished with diamonds, others have […]

My Spanish TVE debut

December 1, 2014 by Ruth

A few weeks ago Ellen, who works for the city of Antwerp, asked if I wanted to show the Spanish tv crew from TVE and blogger Mónica from Mes voyages à Paris my favorite shopping addresses in A’town. I didn’t have to think twice about that one… of course! I’m always up for a new adventure and even more when there are multicultural aspects involved. Our first stop was the LN Knits winter store where I told Mónica about the concept and the story behind the […]

Bedroom renovation: getting inspired!

November 25, 2014 by Nathalie

Living together also means compromising and combining both your styles. Luckily, Michiel, my manfriend, trusts me and appreciates my crazy taste in his very own way. He prefers clean, simple but colorful, I like to go over the top, eclectic and exotic. Our home is a combo of those two. Next on our to-do list is our bedroom. I’ve been working on it for a while now. Michiel gave me carte blanche on this one! I wanted to combine vintage […]

A clean look, my way.

November 24, 2014 by Nathalie

I’m the enthusiast. You can take that in quite the 360° way. That’s why I also tend to fall for  abundant fashion. The more, the merrier you could say. Hack, you only live once! And color and beauty make people smile! Plus, it’s part of my personality, so why should I tone that down? But that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the minimal brands of this world. But when I go to, let’s say COS, I do tend to pick […]

Why you should go Christmas gift hunting at Designer Outlet Roermond!

November 23, 2014 by Nathalie

Last week, for the sake of Christmas research, I went on a field trip to Designer Outlet Roermond. Excited, but also a little sceptic, because I didn’t find outlet shopping to be my thing…up until Roermond that is! Read on to discover what persuaded me! The attentive readers probably spotted a few of the reasons in the picture of my purchases above… The challenge? Find Christmas gift ideas for the ones you love the most. When it comes to gifts, […]

Super natural

November 21, 2014 by Ruth

Don’t know if I ever told this but I’m a big fan of Bram Stoker’s Dracula! I discovered the story somewhere in the nineties while watching the Francis Ford Coppola film based on the novel. Now I must admit that I didn’t really understand anything of it at that time and the movie caused me having nightmares. But I got through it, bought the book and really started to appreciate the myth. When I saw this sweater from Addmyberry all the ‘dark’ memories came […]

Double Stitched

November 10, 2014 by Ruth

My friend Björn, founder and designer of the label Double Stitched, recently opened his first little pop-up in “De Nieuwe Gaanderij”. As the city of Antwerp makes an effort to support new designers, so do I. I have the feeling I’m repeating myself here… but I find it very important to spend my money well on clothes and accessories. Of course I’m a big fan of chain stores, it gives us the possibility to buy something new once in a while without […]
