Antwerp may not be AS vintage-oriented as Berlin or Amsterdam, but you can still do some nice thrifting here! The fun thing is that most things are actually still affordable, in contrary to more expensive vintage shopping cities like London. Antwerp does focus more on designer vintage, regarding our fashion history and the fashion academy.…

We’re halfway November already so I’m totally allowed to bring up the subject “Christmas” by now! As a true Winter and Christmas lover I really enjoy hunting for new Xmas decoration every year. My favourite part is the Christmas candles: being surrounded by a warm and spicy scent is everything what I really want in Winter. Last…
Read MoreBon matin, mes amis! Straight from Saint-Martin and its horrible wifi connection: finally a little postcard! This week is all about discovering the well-known treasures and hidden gems of the Caribbean island, which has quickly won over my heart with its stunning sky-blue sea views, finger licking food and extremely friendly inhabitants. This afternoon I’m…

When life gives you bubble baths, you better take advantage of it. And when allround wellness platform Relaxy.be asks you to review a spa, you immediately say YES. After a wonderful morning drive through the idyllic area called Kempen (don’t judge, I was born there), my friend Lisa and I arrived at Instituut Elise in Herentals, close to Antwerp.…

A 300 second Snapchat story? I wouldn’t want to waste so many seconds of your life unless I have something REAL cool to share. No disappointments there: last weekend Zalando invited me to the very FIRST European Lollapalooza festival in its hometown Berlin! If talking festival stereotypes, I’m that friend who always listens to the festival’s Spotify playlists…
Read MoreOh helloooo there! This couch potato hasn’t been posting much lately because, as you MIGHT have noticed on my Instagram/Snapchat/Twitter/Facebook/everywhere, I spent the last few days at Rock Werchter festival! My squad and I had booked our 4-day tickets months and months ahead, so during the last few study weeks we couldn’t WAIT to start to our…

Brace yourself… Today’s post is full of happiness, sunshine and rainbows! Why? Today marks the start of festival season for me and that is definitely something to celebrate <3 Now that I have finished my last exams everrrr (yes, I’m going to graduate this summer!) I am totally ready to de-stress and enjoy some time…
Read MoreHey guys! My apologies for not posting anything yet this week, but I’ve had one of my most difficult exams yesterday and another pretty heavy one (the last one though!) is coming up next Tuesday. Sooo I’m currently keeping busy with assessing the average lifespan of blue Bic pens instead of strolling around town with…
Read MoreHolla! Since many of you regularly contact me asking for secret hotspots in Antwerp, I’m taking you on a mini trip through my city today! We’re skipping the obvious must-sees like Groenplaats, Nationalestraat and MAS Museum and will dig more into places where a local would rather spend its free (tourist-less) time. Oh yeah, and that…
Read MoreEén van mijn favoriete laatavondactiviteiten in het weekend is online iets lekkers bestellen vanuit mijn luie zetel. Ik ben een ramp in koken en toevallig érg goed in online bestellen. Het grote nadeel is natuurlijk dat elke maaltijd die aan mijn deur gebracht wordt gemiddeld 50g vet en zo’n 1200 kcal bevat. Daarnaast is er ook…
Read MoreAhw yeah, festival season is upon us! For me summer is not complete without attending any festivals, which means that I’ve got most of my tickets in the pocket since January already. Trying to get front stage when my favourite bands perform, strolling through the food stands, soaking up some sun at the relaxing zones…
Read MoreHe was a sk8er boi, she said see you later boy… The number one lyric us nineties children all know by heart as soon as we hear the first notes of that famous guitar riff! Sk8er Boi was probably one of my fave songs ever in my teens (aaaafter Complicated, Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day and I Miss You by Blink 182)…
Read MoreHoewel ik ERG graag eet (heb je mijn Snapchat feed al eens bekeken?) schrijf ik er eigenlijk nooit over op de blog. De reden is redelijk evident: ik kan niet koken. Ik kan het echt niet. Gelukkig heb ik een fantastische vriend die een ongelooflijk talent heeft voor koken! Soms probeer ik het wel, en…
Read MoreLet it snow, let it snow, let it snow… was definitely the main slogan of last week’s ski holiday! My family and my boyfriend’s parents took off a week to enjoy the last snow (literally: it’s going to be over 15 degrees in Belle-Plagne this week!) of the season and oh boy, snow is what…
Read MoreBehold, my friends. This food-loving, pasta-eating, chocolate-munching cookie monster has tried out something pretty extraordinary last week! La Pielaun tested the Juice & Soup Detox from German brand Detox Delight to review it here on the blog. The concept is pretty straightforward: it is about purifying your body when you’ve been exposed to too much sugar, coffee, alcohol, not…
Read MoreTwo weeks ago the boyfriend and I grabbed our suitcases and took off to Marrakech! I have already told you that Morocco was high on my travel wishlist for 2015, and since we had been talking about it for about a year now, we decided it was finally time to discover this mysterious piece of North…
