Why I love cacti so much? I think the Jardin Exotique in Monaco is to "blame". 15 years ago I visited the garden for the first time and something green rubbed off on me. When I came back last month, it struck me: this is where it all began! While Monaco is little more than Read article…

Happy Birthday Dear Academie
Last week one of my favorite Belgian fashion designers, Ann Demeulemeester, announced to leave her label (in a beautiful handwritten letter). Her designs hold a special place in my heart: my first designer heels were by her and I've been following her work ever since. I love the romantic and strong clothes with beautiful cuts Read article…
Eclectic collections
My little pencil tip collection makes me happy. I've had them since I was 7 and even though these days I draw more with my Wacom pen than with color pencils, I still add all the broken pencil tips to my little silly collection. When preparing my contribution to Gudy's wonderful series "What do bloggers Read article…
The Recollection Antwerp
I love shops where it's not only about products, but also about styling and creating a unique setting. And when shop owners decide to add some greens… you know I'm in 😉 Some of my favorites include HAY House in Copenhagen and La Maison Pernoise in the Provence, but this weekend I discovered a new Read article…
The colors of Antwerp

Weekend inspiration #10

Sistermail 5
My sister decided to send me more snail mail and told me I should write about it on my blog. So I will! Always listen to your little sister! A while ago she sent me this card by Marije Vogelzang, a well-known Dutch eating designer. Marije designs with food because nothing comes as close to Read article…
Le Palais Bulles
Visiting le Palais Bulles felt a bit like meeting a superstar who turns out to be super easy to approach, but hiding his best side from you. My husband has been in love with bubble houses for ages, and this huge house designed & built by architect Antti Lovag is one of the superstars in Read article…
Urban Jungle Bloggers #3
Yes, it's that time of the month again: time for a brand new Urban Jungle Bloggers post! Last month we showed you some cool urban jungles in our neighborhoods: Igor took us to a vibrant community garden in Vancouver, Jocelyn showed us around Planten un Blomen in Hamburg, Kate introduced us to a cool urban Read article…
My favorite Aire de Jugy
I love traveling in my own country. The Oise region is really nice, but nothing makes me happier than driving on the Autoroute du Soleil. Ohhh… the promise of sun, la mer and pine trees in the South of France… ♥ A break at one of the many rest areas along the road makes it Read article…
