Yesterday I unfortunately traded sunny Ibiza for a lot less sunny Belgium, and to just remind me of SUMMER I have been scrolling through all of my holiday pictures and other random sunny photos. Apparently you guys have faced a couple of very rainy days here at home, so I can imagine you could use some vacation…

Oh yeah, my Sardinia posts are finally coming up! I have been dying to show you this gorgeous all white PINKO outfit that I wore on my first day there. As you probably know, I’m not quite of a summer fashion person: I love my cashmere, woolen coats and beanies too much. Summer skirts and crop tops aren’t…

Hi guys! Remember that earlier this week I promised you a full outfit with those gorgeous Maruti leopard slip-ons I wrote about? Here we go: an all black look with a dash of colour, a hint of animal print and a pretty cool graphic backdrop. Simple, but strong! I still need to show you loads…

Confession: I have soft spot for animal spots. Ever since I spotted (ahahah…) Camille from the blog Camille Over The Rainbow strolling the streets in a bad ass pair of animal spot printed slip ons, I have seriously been craving a pair for myself! Although I am more of a bag person than a shoe…

If you’re following me on Snapchat (@pielaunio!) you probably have noticed that two weeks ago I attended a festival called Dystopia Festival. It’s a brand new house music festival near Antwerp of which my boyfriend does the creative directing and stage managing! Pretty cool, right? For the occasion I decided to dress up happy, bright and all…

Today’s post is all about travel and how to look fashionable while still feeling comfy. I have collected 3 pieces that I personally really enjoy wearing when I have to catch a plane, have to wait in line for a Eurostar or spend the entire day at the airport. Read along! 1. Long blazer all…

Hi guys! Are you getting used to the new Polienne look? I’m finally settling down here on the new site (so happy to be at #teamcreators!) after a few hectic days in which I still needed to fix a couple of technical problems. I hope that everyone can reach the site very easily by now! Today…

Oh hello there! So, are you a bit used to the design and feel of my new online home yet? Have you enjoyed the tons and tons of posts filled with inspiration? Have you tested the translation function next to the upper banner yet? I would be thrilled to read your reactions and opinions! In…

Hi guys! Today marks a huge day for Polienne. I’m happy to announce that from now on I’ll be a part of the Creators of Desire team. Both Creators of Desire and Polienne have undergone a massive make-over, resulting in an inspiring platform for young ladies like you! I sincerely hope that my loyal readers…
Read MoreHappy Monday, guys! Dealing with Mondays is usually desperately being avoided by yours truly, but I’m welcoming this one in particular with open arms! Exciting things are coming up this week, work wise, travel wise AND blog wise… I’ll be happy to tell you more about the latter two in a few days, but today…
Read More1. Tied up Hey guys! Since I’m having a super lazy Sunday I figured that sharing some inspiration would be the most productive thing possible today! I collected my 3 favorite summer trends for you, including examples and tips on where to shop! Trend number one: gladiator sandals. The super elegant version, that is. The stores…
Read MoreMeet my favourite dress of the moment! I call it The Square. When browsing through clothing racks at a store lately I’m really drawn to huge, shapeless pieces of fabric that appear to be dresses. The bigger, the better! The award of favourite piece of fabric now goes to this super affordable H&M Trend dress. I’ve…
Read MoreWell helloooo guys! You’ve already seen a short photo diary of my Rock Werchter adventures but now it’s time for the real deal. For 4 days I carried my little camera along to make a little video! Since it’s my very first video ever (no talking yet, gotta get over my own voice!) my editing…
Read MoreNope, I didn’t die in the heatwave last week! My reasons for being MIA are far more obvious: I needed a break. After two extremely intense months of working on my thesis (I passed with a glorious result!) and studying for my final exams, topped off with an exhausting weekend at Rock Werchter, I gave…
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 MoreHaving a brother with a practiced eye, mad photographer skills and of course some bad ass equipment comes in prettyhandy when you’re in need of some quick outfit pictures. With the evening approaching soon I was a bit afraid we wouldn’t find the perfect spot to shoot, but HEY that turned out no problem at all…
Read MoreHey guys! Sorry for my lack of posting – life (/exams) sort of got in the way. And for me the best way to relax between studying is just chilling in the sun and drinking a tiny glass of wine with my friends! Yup, summer is definitely in town! Are you preparing yourself for the…
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 MorePlaying a tourist in your own city is the perfect way to spend a bank holiday, don’t you think? Lisa and I were wandering through the sunny streets of Antwerp and bumped into the Vlaeykensgang, the oldest medieval street of the entire city! Since we were captivated by the old, super cozy, almost South-French vibe (and…
Read MoreNiets leuker dan toerist in eigen stad spelen tijdens een verlengd weekend. Lisa en ik kuierden wat door de zonnige straten van Antwerpen toen we de Vlaeykensgang ontdekten, de oudste straat van de stad! Omdat er bijna niemand was en we de Zuid-Frankrijk vibe zo fijn vonden, besloten we het straatje te gebruiken als idyllische achtergrond voor…

This “I woke up like this”-thing just reached a whole new level! Many of you have asked me on Instagram or Twitter about what mascara I have been using lately, but the truth is… None! Two weeks ago a friend asked me to get a lash treatment together. She sent me a pic of her lashes looking…
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…
