You've climbed the Eiffel tower, visited le Palais de Tokyo, shopped at Merci, ate dozens of LaDurée (or Pierre Hermé) macarons and you just love Paris. But you like to do something else for a change? One of my favorite museums is "La Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace" at Le Bourget, just outside Paris. Read article…

Gradient Windows
My love for gradients (the kitchy-er the better) probably started in Art School. Painting good gradients with the perfect transition between two colors is very difficult & time consuming. It's also one of the reasons I absolutely love Adobe Illustrator (or Photoshop or even Indesign): it makes it so easy to create the perfect gradients. Read article…
Vintage Sapique 3
Studio Sapique counts 27 spaces, so when we determined their functions there just HAD to be room for a proper dressing. We dedicated an entire room to our wardrobe and started by using a mobile coat rack. But light & dust deteriorates clothing so fast, that we bought 3 huge Ikea closets which we customized Read article…
Übercool Berlin
With the beautiful desaturated Berlin photography of Sandra Juto in my head, I traveled to Berlin. The city turned out to be so much brighter than I thought it would be. So many colors everywhere! The amazing weather and creative conference absolutely helped a lot there too. It appeared to me that somehow Berlin is Read article…
Cranes without fuses
Our neighbors with the cool logo dismantled their main crane. Two workers were high up in the sky to remove the nails from part of the construction which was taken down by another crane. Without any safety fuses or ropes. Nothing! How brave!
Pantone Stamps

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…
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…
Colorless
Sometimes I wish I only liked wearing ONE color. Like these people. For years I've been wearing a lot of black with a hint of color or non-color from time to time. I could never wear white everyday. Too afraid of stains. However stains are a must on this pretty Underfull tablecloth. Actually my Read article…
A colorful new year!
This new year started in black (and with a black tongue because of the BlackBerry vodka) but quickly turned into a fluorescent pink, the color of the medication for our sick cats. 2008 will be all about choosing the right color(s). Finding color-inspiration has been made very easy by Kris. And if you don't want Read article…
Color me beautiful
After many years I It's not that I don't love them, but i just don't like it when colors are dirty. I like colors bright and shiny, clean and crispy. I'm not such a fan of pop-art though. I appreciate its diversity. Like i appreciate the website of Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. A nice collection of Read article…
