Say yes to the bag! Last week I attended the & Other Stories opening in Ghent (such a gorgeous shopping space!), where I bumped into the beautiful Clare Vivier x & Other Stories collection. This neon orange-y perforated piece with matching tassel (not pictured here) and navy handles immediately caught my eye, and hasn’t left my arm since! The…
Read MoreCrop it like it’s hot!
Oh how I love the feeling of spring finally kicking in after some long cold months! This week has been exceptionally lovely and although I had quite some school assignments to hand in, I tried to grab all opportunities to enjoy the weather to the fullest. On Friday for example I had a few hours…
Read MoreLate night ramble about that bomber jacket
You guys, here I am, crammed in front of my laptop in full Gollum-style (see my face on the preceding picture + add four extra pairs of bags under the eyes and a slightly more creepy stare) at 01h12 AM after finishing a huge translation assignment on Renaissance theatre. I should probably have gone straight…
Read MorePamper trip to Paris with Caudalie
Last Saturday I was invited by French beauty brand Caudalie for a flash trip to Versailles, Paris! Together with partners in crime Lisha, Charlène and Axelle (so nice to have finally met you!) we headed to the city of love early in the morning. The purpose of our trip was to completely relax and experience the Caudalie products in an intimate way.…
Read MoreBack to the 70s
My favourite spring trend of 2015? The swinging seventies! Although every era does have its charms, I personally never would have thought I would be into the decades of large flower prints, lava lamps and platform shoes. Don’t worry guys, there won’t be glittery shirts or loose satin pants in my future outfits! The lava…
Read MoreWhat cowboy dreams are made of
Say hi to my new Mango buckle boots! I first fell in love with them in the beginning of last season but I didn’t want to spend all of my bucks on yet another pair of black boots… Boy, was I wrong. When I couldn’t find them in store anymore, I obviously regretted not buying them…
Read MoreIntroducing the Levi’s CT
SPRING! Spriiiiiiiiing! Now that we’re finally able to bare our ankles again, the time has come to pull out some of my favourite pieces: light jackets, breezy knits and boyfriend denim! For the occasion I wore my new pair of Levi’s 501 CT‘s, which are basically an updated version of the iconic 501 jeans. They are customized and tapered,…
Read More3 days of Detox Delight
Behold, 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 MoreH&M Modern Classics
Dear H&M, You were my first love and you will be my last. Whether I was in my early teen (failed) punk/rebel style, my vintage girly/flower style or my minimalist Parisian/tomboy style, I always managed to pluck the ideal piece of clothing from your racks. You are always delivering us the latest trends for affordable…

CC to the rescue
Hey guys! I’m extremely bummed to be writing this because I had actually planned this post for this morning around 8 but when I woke up I saw that the post had entirely vanished. So yup, after spending more than 2 hours on writing it yesterday evening I now have to start all over again,…
Read MoreThe bag dress
Whoppa, change of scenery! Since I got back to normal and rainy life in Antwerp after my little getaway to Marrakech I documented loads of outfits that I still need to show you. One of those being this ensemble that I put on on a cloudy Saturday afternoon spent at the gym and one of my favourite…
Read MoreWinter sun
Ehh no, I did not suddenly transport myself to some exotic country with temperatures going through the roof. These are my last set of photos from my trip to Marrakech in the beginning of February! That’s right, the last sunny summer pictures before you see me wrapped up in four layers of cashmere again. And don’t forget…
Read MoreMy new night repair serum and 5 reasons why you need it too
Hi beauty lovers! As you have seen in my Estée Lauder video I always end my days with a short moment for myself. It might be reading a book, answering questions in my 5 Year Question Diary, quickly rearranging my closet or sending out a last Snapchat picture. All of this is perpetually preceded by my brand…
Read MoreTravel: visit the Ourika valley in Marrakech
Since my Marrakech diary was so bulky already, I decided to share these photos on another moment, being today! As I have already told you, we booked a private tour with a local driver to discover the Atlas Mountains nearby Marrakech. Cool dude Hassan drove us to the Ourika valley, where a few local Barber communities have…
Read MoreCatching up some rays
Excuse me my short post after my last more elaborate one! Understanding from your numerous comments I could see that you really liked my photo diary and personal experiences on Marrakech, right? Well, the story doesn’t end here! I still have a few looks to share and of course have to show you our trip to the…
Read MoreMarrakech: the photo diary
Two 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…
Read MoreMy new beauty travel musthave
If I were an A-list jet setting celebrity crossing the world on a daily basis I too would probably spend all of my bucks on a private chef cook, a huge team of gym instructors and about twelve personal assistants to handle the stress of replying emails, all of this in order to save my…
Read MoreStriped PJ’s in Marrakech
Hello there! I’m back from the city of one thousand and one nights, very much alive and kicking. Unfortunately just a liiiiittle less relaxed than I had hoped for (so much damn screaming, it’s incredible) but at least the delicious food, the cozy riads and the magnificent afternoon light were top notch. Although I don’t have a…
Read MorePolienne x Polette
Hi there! We’re Paulien and Robin, we’re best friends and we like glasses. We recently got introduced to the new online eyewear webshop Polette and we’re pretty much hooked… After intensively testing both a pair of sunglasses as a pair of regular glasses and doing an even more intense photoshoot together; here’s what we think! Paulien You…

Belgium! What do you think of the new IKEA SS15 collection? Still got a lot of furniture pieces on your wishlist? In that case… How would you feel about winning a €1000 voucher from IKEA? Seeing your own bedroom design in an actual IKEA store? All of this just by being your creative self on the internet?…
Read MoreScarf print
Wait a second… Am I wearing a dress? Looks like my style resolutions are going just fine, because that seems like quite a striking print to me! When I first saw this dress at an exclusive preview of the VILA collection back in September, it was love at first sight. The low waist, the long sleeves, the flowy…
Read MorePolienne for Estee Lauder
Friends! Today I can finally reveal this super cool secret project I was working on a few weeks ago! Renomated beauty brand Estée Lauder and I teamed up for an online campaign in which you can follow me on a fun day out in Antwerp and discover my favourite skin products along the journey. The team and…
Read MoreChunky & leather
So far, so good! My style resolutions you could read about in my last post included sticking with the basics and make more use of existing pieces. I felt like my basics deserved a bit more attention after my more layered looks lately, so I dragged out my beloved leather leggings, my good old Steve…
Read MorePersonal style goals: spring 2015
This is how I want to look like this spring. After reading a lot about the 5 Piece French Wardrobe system and Into Mind (an excellent blog about minimalism) I was left with ambiguous feelings. On one hand these systems seemed way too radical for a spontaneous shopper like me, but on the other hand I felt like I…
Read MoreAirport outfit
Hey guys! Today it’s time for a look I accidentally completely forgot about! But since it started snowing again yesterday it seemed very appropriate to share the photos with you now. This airport outfit was shot just before checking in for Val Thorens with Club Med (check my previous posts from the snow trip here, here and here!). It…
