A quick guide to Notting Hill, London

When in the UK capital, I usually stay around East London. There’s fun shopping opportunities, plenty of excellent coffee bars and lots of Instagrammable places.Never a…

#French Friday

Although I was a bit hesitant about the beret being back, I did a little celebration dance when I found this vintage baby in the back of my wardrobe! And after wearing it for five minutes, I was sold again. So here we go, the beret! Wore this for a coffee & lunch at Barchel…

Sleek Saturday
Antwerp, Style file Posted by Paulien

In the categories “Finally Growing Up” and “Back To The Nineties”, I proudly present: the denim maxi skirt, the sleek turtle neck and the black pointy sock boots. Outfits like this always remind me of the huge style change I’ve went through the past years. When you check out some of my 16 year old…

Pink & PU

Like many of you, one of my shopping habits is looking for the ultimate basic. Whether it be the ultimate leather jacket, the ultimate scarf or the ultimate pair of bright pink shoes: every category has its own acme, or in other words a piece that represents perfection of the category expressed. In this case…

Yesterday I shared another Antwerp brunch hotspot, and this is the outfit I wore when indulging in all of that avocado toast goodness. This look basically reflects my entire weekend mood: sleepy with a touch of sass. By adding my new fluffy slides and a simple white tee to those office-style trousers, they suddenly get…

The boyfriend and I stopped by at Maurice, an eclectic coffee and brunch bar in Berchem. Our recommendation? The poached egg avocado toast and the jasmine ice tea!

Antwerp, Lifestyle Posted by Paulien

Of course the quality of the coffee is priority, but looks matter too, right? There are plenty of cool coffee and lunch bars in Antwerp, but I usually go back to the same old, familiar places. Having a boyfriend that lives in a different area of town is the perfect excuse to finally try out some new places!…

Actually this outfit was shot last week in 2016, because obviously I don’t look this fresh on January the 1st. The week between Christmas and New Year felt a bit weird: somehow you still have that high school idea in your head that literally nobody has to work, but then you realize that you’re self-employed. Luckily my boss is quite the flexible chick,…

Faux fur & docs

Not the most inspiring blogpost title today, but hopefully my statement look is. I started the bank holiday weekend in style last Friday by heading to the flea market in this London-inspire look. It’s the first time this season that I’ve pulled out my Dr. Martens again, and I must say that I had to adjust – again.…

The perfect weekend day
Antwerp, Beauty, Style file Posted by Paulien

After a few super busy weeks, I finally scheduled some of this precious me-time in my agenda before taking off to Marbella. After a spontaneous party with friends on Friday, I spent my Saturday with a slight hangover and some of my dearest friends. My day consisted of sleeping late, a sunny walk to the…
