One of my soft spots is definitely for Jelly. The bright colors and translucent glossy appearance really attract me. A few years ago I found out that there are serious Jell-o Mold Competitions going on where fanatics create the weirdest things out of jell-o. Bompas & Parr work with jelly ever so often, but take Read article…

Inspector Gadget
I couldn't care less about most gadgets. Maybe that's why this tiny green thingie was well hidden in my kitchen drawer. Until I tried it. And now I'm hooked! This Vacuvin Citrus Peeler is super easy for peeling oranges or grapefruits. And it's best asset: no more yellow discoloration of your finger nails!
Pantone Stamps
These Pantone cakes by Griottes are the exact reason why I'm currently redesigning joelix.com. Well the design is ready, but the behind-the-scenes part has to be built from scratch. I need to be a bit more patient until I can show you bigger images in stead of these tiny stamp sized images like the ones Read article…
LV & MJ at Les Arts Décoratifs
Only a few weeks after visiting the Jean Paul Goude exhibition, today I was back at Les Arts Décoratifs to see the Louis Vuitton x Marc Jacobs exhibition. Not that I'm very fond of either of them, but after the live broadcasted opening last night I was quite curious to see what all the buzz Read article…
Sunny Island
Sunshine really brings out the best in Londoners. I got to spend a few days in London last week and was lucky to meet lots of happy & polite people. The peak of enthusiasm was reached when I visited the Lush store on Regent Street. The sales girl and boy both (literally) jumped around to Read article…
JOELIX in Llamas Valley
Only 2 months ago I discovered the 1st English issue of this beautiful e-mag from Lithuania, called “Llamas’ Valley”. Which is about perfect places and imperfect people. Born in Lithuania, and now exploring the world. For the spring issue Llamas' Valley asked me to style one picture with a spring theme! It came out today Read article…
Soooo Goude!
Enfin! Finally I went to see the huge Jean Paul Goude Retrospective: Goudemalion at Les Arts Décoratifs in Paris. It closes in a few weeks and was still loaded with visitors. It showed an impressive amount of beautifully mounted photos, lots of famous images and some new ones. The only thing missing in my opinion Read article…
Studio Sapique in Ihome magazine
A few months ago the editor of Ihome magazine (from Shanghai) approached me to feature our home in their magazine. Last week I received the hard copy in an over-stamped envelope, which made me smile. Thanks Cindy! It's such an honor to see 4 spreads of Studio Sapique in a glossy magazine. The interview is Read article…
Snow white without snow
With a particularly hot winter (sofar), we have to satisfy our cravings for snow somewhere else. What about a white Tyvek® bag by Maybe Bags? Super light, crumpled up in your suitcase of main bag, it carries everything and makes it a simple & beautiful everyday bag. Another great range of show white everyday products Read article…
Een gelukkig nieuw jaar
A very happy new year to all! For over 30 years my family and I have this ongoing New Years card photo project. Every year we send out black & white photos with our best wishes for the new year, in stead of traditional x-mas cards. It's always very exciting (and sometimes a real struggle) Read article…
