The blog has been up for 9 (!) months now. It's crazy how much fun I've had writing and taking pictures. I really do enjoy being part of the blogging world. As it's the end of 2013, I thought a quick overview of my current favourite beauty products/tools might be appropriate. I love reading about people's favourites but...

Another Lush product review, and I'm not sorry! Lush is clearly one of my favourite cosmetics brands. Not only do I love their products, I admire the brand's mindset and their way of communicating their beliefs to customers. I've been using their Godiva solid shampoo bar for the past four months. Of course I had to write down...

Lately I've been inspired by dark lipstick. I used to never have the guts to make my lips really stand out, but I've seen so many people rock beautiful shades this season that I wanted to try it myself - and I think I might just wear it more often. Plum, berry, burgundy, I need all of them!...

It's December and I am excited! The holiday season has officially kicked off, which means the house is now beautifully decorated, I can watch Christmas movies all day (seriously my favourite thing!), stores are getting all christmassy as well and I am ready to find my friends and family some nice presents. But I also get to pick out...

I've been thinking a Face/Look Of The Day post has been long overdue, so today I want to show you my makeup from last Saturday. Please note that this picture was taken 5 hours after doing my makeup, so the foundation didn't look that great anymore. I couldn't find any good light in my house either. I'm really...

It seems as if these green little tins have been playing hide and seek ever since they became available in Belgium, but I finally found one! I'm talking about the Bourjois Java Rice Powder, an illuminating loose powder that is actually a relaunch of the brand's first bestseller back in 1879! Today it is a loved product amongst beauty...

Becoming more serious about skincare means trying new brands. Enter Kiehl's. Their Ultra Facial Cleanser was my first purchase and I could honestly slap myself for not getting it sooner. For months and months I had read about the brand and their amazing products so when I found out there's a store in Ghent - again, why just...

Stradivarius are one of those brands that I love but where I've never bought anything. I have a perfectly valid excuse for that: they didn't ship to Belgium. I believe their A/W collections are great and the prices are reasonable. If I were to set foot in one of their stores at this very moment, it would be a...

I only recently expressed how excited I was for Autumn to come, and here I am with another seasonal flashforward. I'm talking about Christmas! Lush launched their Christmas collection at the beginning of October and it didn't take long before I stopped by my local shop to give their new products a sniff. Now that the weather has turned...

It seems the amount of skincare products I own has expanded a lot over the past six months. As I give more attention to cleansing and prepping my skin now, finding the right products to match my morning and evening routine has become a whole new mission. After a lot of online research and excellent advice at the...

It's finally here! I've been looking forward to today since October kicked off. Here in Belgium, we don't celebrate Halloween like in the States, the UK or other countries, but I do enjoy so much about this holiday. Pumpkin carving, baking spooky-themed cupcakes, watching scary movies. In my post about the start of Autumn (click *here*) I promised some Halloween-inspired...

A great wardrobe often takes years and years to achieve, but the best way to do so is to collect the perfect basics before reaching out for more dazzling pieces. Yours truly is all about basics and now that the plans to redecorate my bedroom are beginning to take shape, I reflected on my own style to figure out...

I was browsing Tumblr when I came across this picture. Although the picture - and therefore part of the outfit - was possibly cropped, I get tons of inspiration from it. I love how this girl upgraded such a simple outfit into something so elegant by throwing on a beautiful coat from Zara and accessories, yet she kept...

Pictures by my friend Malin and me Black is the new black. Christophe Urbain got the message. With the help of designers Matthias Yzebaert ('Mayz') and Ben Urbain (glossy.tv) he transformed the basement area of his Rewind Men's store in Ghent, Belgium, into a true paradise for those who can't resist a good timeless piece to complete their wardrobe....

Designer and artist Alina Preciado designed her 185 m² loft in Brooklyn, NY and probably made it one of the coolest buildings I've ever seen. Preciado combined an industrial and rustic look (such as the exposed pipes and factory windows) with modern furniture and items she found during her travels around the world. There is so much to see in...

I know, I know, it's only the beginning of September and I'm obsessing over autumn coming closer! I was looking forward to summer earlier this year, but to be honest I can't wait for what's following either! What I'm most excited about is I'll be able to wear 75% of the items in my wardrobe again. Chunky scarves,...

It has been too long since I've done a "How I'd wear..." article! To be honest, I love writing these but I feel like something is missing. I wish I could show you some outfits I wear myself. Unfortunately I'm not really the kind of person that likes (or knows how) to pose in front of a camera....
