What maxi dreams are made of
Style file Posted by Paulien

In terms of dresses (ok, not only dresses), I’m a sucker for maxi. By now you miiiiiiight have noticed that I love long, flowy and oversized things, no? NO? And every single Summer I seem to fall for a yet another boho-style maxi dress in white. How strange! This year I bumped into my new…

My holiday beauty routine
Beauty Posted by Paulien

We’re halfway 2018 and this is my first beauty post of the year — whut?! Can you tell I’m a beauty noob? The usual subjects are skincare or haircare; no different this time! As a lazy person I avoid using too much make-up, and since a good skincare routine can help decrease your daily make…

And just like that, I’m back from yet another amazing vacation! Due to circumstances and pretty bad weather I was a bit disappointed in Marrakech a few years ago, but this visit has TOTALLY made up for it. I’ll tell you all about my holidays real soon, but let’s kick off with a quick outfit…

Throwback to Mexico!
Travel Posted by Paulien

Oh mannnnnn. Flash backwards: exactly one year ago I was eating ceviche, visiting Maya temples and chilling on the stunning white sand beaches of Mexico! This week has been pretty painful, as Facebook keeps reminding me of our dream holiday by sharing daily memories and photos. THANKS, Zuckerberg. But no, to be honest, it is…

Sandy getaway

Since the boyfriend and I already celebrated our holidays back in February (Mexico, I miss u) AND we bought a house this year, we kind of need to save up this Summer. We decided not to book another expensive vacay, but opt for mini getaways and lots of staycation days instead! In my previous post you could…

What if your holiday is still almost 2 months away but temperatures keep rising at home? Celebrate a few days off in your own hometown of course! And my beloved Antwerp proves the perfect city to do so. There’s so many great coffee bars, fairs and swimming ponds to keep you busy on a warm…

Aphrodite
Style file Posted by Paulien

Life is full of contradictions, and your closet can be too! You guys know I prefer a simple white shirt dress and slippers over anything when I’m on holidays, and still I decided to do some dressing up in Cyprus. After all, a goddess’ birthplace deserves a bit of attitude, right? You’ve seen another look…

Staying at a hidden Cyprus gem
Style file, Travel Posted by Paulien

Welcome to Eveleos Country House, a place where I’d like to spend the rest of Summer. You’ve seen a few peeks of our holiday home booked through Eliza Was Here in my previous Cyprus diary, but I figured that it would be the perfect backdrop for a typical lazy holiday look. You might have read that…

Lounging in luxury
Style file Posted by Paulien

For me, style-wise, this year is all about discovering colours. And one of the combinations that currently make my heart beat faster is baby blue and bright orange. You can go both office-proof and holiday-worthy with this shade parade, and the second is exactly what I did in Cyprus. Although I find it hard to…

So after a few outfit posts (find them here, here and here) it’s finally time for my full Cyprus travel diary including my recommendations on where to stay, eat and relax.

That vintage summer dress
Style file Posted by Paulien

A little question! What do you feel like is the best thing about going on holidays? For me it’s losing track of time in the cutest villages, reading at least two books and wearing all those vintage Summer dresses that have been hiding in your closet for months. The first thing turned out a ridiculously easy thing to do in…

London diary, day 3
Travel Posted by Paulien

And finally it’s time for my third London diary! By now you know that Eurostar invited me to discover different shopping areas in London for a weekend a little while ago, and that I checked out trendy Carnaby on Friday and cozy Seven Dials on Saturday (click to see both articles!). On Sunday the boyfriend and I spent our afternoon at…

At sunset

Hi guys, this is me casually posing as a Greek goddess in an 80s swimsuit and 70s sunglasses next to the mythic Aphrodite’s Rock. Because that’s how you rolllllll on Cyprus. And although I LOVE this look and these photos, I felt a bit hesitant to post them here. I mean, if I would have had a flatter chest,…
