Changes

January 8, 2015 by Nathalie

Not so very long ago, Ruth and I had a conversation about the future. A conversation we both wanted to have for a while now, one of those not so easy to start. A conversation about changes. About growing. And in the end about wanting the same: to take things to the next level. And very important: a positive conversation! You can guess what’s coming and you might have seen “The Journey of Ruth” pop-up in your feeds this week. […]

The bleach-out look by Justine

May 27, 2014 by justinedebruyn

As most of you know a lot of people are naturally very fair-skinned, so I decided to create a look which compliments a very pale skin tone while still looking glam! Besides fair skin bleachy white hair is definitely the trend of the season. From Aline Webber to Ola Rudnicka and Sasha Luss, fair-haired beauties are taking over. You either hate it or love it! No need to say more, i’m definitely loving platinum hair bombshells so when I saw French […]

Mon escapade Parisienne avec H&M et Isabel Marant

November 7, 2013 by Ruth

This most certainly was the best invite I got in 2013 (ok, let’s just say the best invite I got ever). Isabel Marant came on my radar the same year I moved to Antwerp, about a decade ago. I can still remember going to Labels Inc to buy her checkered shirts second-hand because my student budget wasn’t enough to afford anything new. For me she has always been an inspiring lady, even now she has become one of the most […]

The Merrymakers 2.0

January 10, 2013 by Nathalie

What’s this new state of mind all about? We needed a fresh start to encourage our creativity and reflect on what we really want to do with our blog.

What we have been doing…

April 19, 2012 by Ruth

The last few days Nathalie and I have been extremely busy telling stories, eating, cleaning, styling, moving, removing, telling more stories and so so on! On the only free moment we had, we spent some quality time in our brand new merry sofa (40€, very vintage) with matching lamp! Does our new interior also looks familiar to you guys? Many thanks to Jessica for taking the picture
