Style file Posted by Paulien

Having grown up in a small village with lots of meadows and woods, biking was my main mode of transportation. When I moved to the city centre of Antwerp about 5 years ago, I continued this tradition by getting myself a subscription on those colourful city bikes. Sure, they come in super handy when you…

The ultimate basics
Style file Posted by Paulien

Just before leaving for 3 days of Pukkelpop earlier this week, I wore this ultimate basic outfit for a day full of working, planning and packing. These fab Bershka culottes are my latest acquisition in my closet and they come in extremely handy when a simple look needs that extra fashionable touch. Follow my Pukkelpop adventures…

The seaside edit
Style file Posted by Paulien

Whenever I’m headed for a quick getaway to the seaside, I get excited about all the shooting opportunities I’m about to encounter. So being welcomed by dark rain clouds and a strong, cold wind obviously left me pretty muddled. My friendographer (ha!) Lisa got extra thrilled however, immediately dreaming out loud about a dramatic, dark breakwater shooting. And somehow, it…

Simple but effective office look
Style file Posted by Paulien

After coming home from an exhausting day at the office yesterday, I figured that my desk look was definitely worth a share here on the blog. Unfortunately no-one of my usual photographers was around, so I jumped in my time machine and dug up my tripod! With plenty of white walls available in my apartment, this turned out…

Embarrassedly, I’m not sure if I have ever showed you this Zoe Karssen jacket before! I actually snatched it up in sale back in January, and have worn it several times to spice up a boring black outfit. And when my new Morobé star cowboy booties came in earlier this week, I just knew I had…

Blue da ba dee da ba daa
Style file Posted by Paulien

Having just returned from a mini-trip to the seaside, I’m feeling all blue again. Not only would I rather have stayed for the entire month, I’ve also returned with a wardrobe filled with blue pieces. For some reason I just keep going back to that ultimate classic combo of white, navy and stripes. However, to avoid looking…

CKS Summer: win a trip to Paris!
Lifestyle Posted by Paulien

According to Audrey Hepburn, Paris is always a good idea, and I couldn’t agree more. With so much art, history and style at only a 1h30 train ride away, this romantic city is the perfect spot to escape reality for a moment. Inspired by those lovely short city getaways and the need for the perfect…

Polienne around the clock 4: Sunday funday!
Personal Posted by Paulien

There we go, another photo diary! This time no special trip or getaway, but just a lovely Sunday well spent. Read along! 10h16 I am SO not a morning person, so setting my alarm clock at 10 in the morning on a Sunday is not something I would easily do. But I had fun plans…

Translating my boho look to the streets
Style file Posted by Paulien

Every now and then I like a little boho vibe – my apartment is full of horns and skulls, I love wearing kimonos and I’m dreaming of a camper holiday in an old van. But I always find it difficult to actually translate this boho vibe in my own rather casual tomboy style without looking like…
