As far as Mondays go, this one isn’t the greatest. I’m tired and didn’t sleep well, the weather isn’t spectacular and the waiting game continues. But this song is helping my melancholy mood just as much as it did last… View Post
On Tuesday evening we went out for a little soul singing. The seven piece Alabama based band St. Paul and the Broken Bones came in to perform at DOK in Gent, and wow. All I can say is wow. They were… View Post
I would just like to praise Reformation for making a petites line SO stunning and for people my size. The line is for the vertically challenged (5’4 and under) and since all of my maxis magically look like a wedding… View Post
Apologies for the late post, today has been filled with job applications, a crazy little playful pup and a whole lot of grey outside our windows. I wish I could say I’ve been outside today, but alas, those clouds have… View Post
Bell Sleeve Dress // Old Banana Republic Leather Sandals (similar here by Joe’s Jeans) // Jewelry by Mango and AldoI absolutely fell in LOVE with this bell sleeve babydoll dress from Forever 21 when I was in Amsterdam with B. I feel like a lot… View Post
For some reason, I don’t like to take rolling bags as my carry-on or travel bag, no matter where I go. I fell in love with the Mason travel satchel by Sole Society ages ago, but shipping to Belgium turns into… View Post
To say I’m sad to not be in Sweden on this day is the understatement of the year. I loved celebrating Midsummer in Sweden (maybe you got that from reading this Music Monday Post?) So I decided to dress myself… View Post
I think pretty much every blogger has tried to score at least one dupe for the Chloé Drew bag, and I think I got my hands on Zara’s last one. Available in early 2015, this chain strap black bag is… View Post
Yesterday I was informed of my thesis grade, and I have to say, I’m really happy about it. My stressful months and sleepless nights paid off! We had even more to celebrate with PJ and his mom, and we had… View Post
I’ve recently converted to gel eyeliner instead of the liquids that I’ve previously loved. I love the Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner, but I couldn’t help but think that I would love a little colour on my lids… View Post
I tried this colour two weeks ago when B was here visiting. We were looking for really ‘Euro’ beauty products for her coworkers, like the best nail colours or the best eye shadows. And so, upon walking into & Other… View Post
This weekend was a bit crazy. On Friday I agreed to run a 10k at drinks with some friends, and on Saturday we went for a long run, cleaned the flat, made furniture, destroyed a cupboard and did general housework,… View Post
I think I go into Mango basically every time I pass by one, and these little babies have been on my radar since I first saw them. I love heels and stilettos, but I still need to learn to wear… View Post
Crochet is a huge hit this summer. And let’s be honest, when are white maxi’s not a good idea? I love an affordable piece to wear, and Forever 21’s Crochet Maxi Dress is spot on. Forever 21 Crochet Paneled Maxi… View Post
Two years ago I went to my first official Midsummer celebration just outside of Stockholm, overlooking a beautiful lake. My entire Scandi-family was there (including PJ), alongside my dad’s high school friends and their families. We sang, we danced, we… View Post
I’ve only been upgraded to first class twice in my life. The first time, my family was moving to the US from South Africa. The second was my initial trip to Belgium to see my now-boyfriend’s country for the first… View Post
As pretty much everyone I’ve ever been in contact with knows, I am a little crazy about this tiny puppy. Today we walked to the park with his adorable Boots & Barkley collar and leash from my parents (though he… View Post
I found out last Friday that I passed my Master’s thesis, and thank everything in the world because my graduation present came in the form of ONE TINY PUPPY on May 30th. He is everything that I could have ever… View Post
The greatest moment of my life (post Master’s degree) happened this Saturday when…drumroll please…we got a PUPPY! I’ve been dreaming about this little guy for five years and it finally came true. But more on that later. This last week… View Post
Monday was my final meeting with my thesis advisor, and I can happily say that I am RELIEVED by what he had to say about my work. That being said, this is my final week in the library before I… View Post
