Welcome on the other side, in 2015! So far it's not too shabby, right? We started the New Year in Lille, in the North of France. We strolled through the city center Vieux Lille, ate hot waffles and crêpes, visited the Christmas market (and left as soon as we could, aarrghh it was awful!), walked Read article…

Artist’s Entrance Middelheim in Antwerp
This weekend I was in Antwerp with my family and besides some shopping, we spent an afternoon at the Middelheim Museum park. Even though it was wet and cloudy, it was lovely to stroll around the Museum park. This curvy red, white, pink building is one of the entrances of the park. At first I Read article…
Aufschnitt Berlin Textile Butchery
Yesterday I was at Maison & Objet in Paris and my first crush was a rather unexpected one. It took me two seconds to realize this was fresh and different (and let's admit: a little bit crazy too). Aufschnitt Berlin is a Textile Butchery: they create products that mimic regular sausage and meat products in Read article…
You Can Now London
If there's one talent that I developed in the past few years, it is to stumble upon the coolest places in the cities I visit. Maybe it's not a real talent, but simply luck and an overdose of cool hotspots in cities likes Stockholm, Antwerp, Berlin or Copenhagen. Anyway, I found some in London too Read article…
Going back to Italy
In a week from now I'll be on a plane to Italy! It has been well over a decade since my last visit and I'm super excited to go back. When I was 16 I was very impressed by the Italian guys and Italian shoes. At 17 it was lambrusco that made my head spin Read article…
PCM Reversed Volumes
Another coup de coeur from Maison & Objet is this collection of bowls designed by Austrian design studio mischer'traxler. The idea of capturing the imprint of fruits and vegetables is so obvious, simple and beautifully executed in matte resin. And look at those colors! ♥ The Reversed Volumes collection is edited by PCM and very Read article…
Outspoken concept store Den Bosch
Ever since Iris showed her beautiful photos of concept store Outspoken on her blog, it was on my want-to-visit-list. My former hometown Den Bosch doesn't look like the city I used to know anymore (it has been over a decade!), but it does make me proud that it's home to cool places like Mariapaviljoen, eetbar 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…

Not a fan fan
The title says it all: I'm not particularly fond of electric fans. But as we are in the middle of a heatwave here in France, we need them. Our home has no windows, only 2 doors and the outer walls are made of glass, so we almost live in some sort of greenhouse. We try Read article…
