Des Petits Hauts courtyard in Paris by HeJu
A little warning: this will be a super pastel post. Not that there's anything wrong with pastels, but just so you know.

Etairnity Airplants design + giveaway
This summer I received a package from Etairnity with my very first airplants! You know I do have lots of cacti, agaves, succulents, palm trees and such, but somehow I never adopted any airplants.

Rue Crémieux in Paris

Mies van der Rohe pavilion Barcelona
Another day, another gem in Barcelona! If you love steel, glass and polished stone and architecture, you shouldn't miss the Mies van der Rohe Barcelona pavilion, if you are in town.

Sunny Barcelona
Before sharing my favorite spots in Barcelona, I wanted to show you these first photos from sunny Barcelona. The city pleasantly surprised me, the people were very kind, slower and more relaxed than in Paris (fore sure!) and kept talking to me in Catalan, which made feel less like a tourist. There was an abundance Read article…
