Merci is one of those Parisian hotspots that doesn’t need an introduction anymore, does it? The best thing about concept store Merci, besides their interesting selection of products, is the space itself: it’s huge & spacious. Every time I visit it looks completely different and last week a giant palm tree welcomed us. What more Read article…

Marimekko Helsinki map
Finland is placed very high on my places-I-want-to-visit wishlist. And not in the last place because of Marimekko. I remember my mother wearing a Marimekko shirt & skirt in the 80s. They were made with the softest jersey and had a timeless fit. When in London I picked up a free copy of the Marimekko Read article…
La Galerie Végétale
One of my alltime favorite boutiques in Paris is definitely La Galerie Végétale. I'm a sucker for succulents and wandering around this former carpentry workplace makes me really happy. In this lush green shop you find a unique selection of succulents & cacti, a large diversity of planters ( in reclaimed rubber, ceramics, plastics, zinc, Read article…
La Pharmacie
If you've ever been in France, you've seen a pharmacy, for sure. They are everywhere and their green neon cross signs light up most of the streets. There's even a law requiring to have one pharmacy open on sundays & holidays per neighbourhood. The French tend to visit their pharmacy ever so often because their Read article…
Humanoid Arnhem
One of my favorite Dutch fashion brands is Humanoid. They have been around for over 30 years and their identity just feels familiar without screaming for attention. The fabrics they use are gorgeous, soft and easy to wear. It's a pity I cannot wear any wool (sooo itchy!), because in the winter they have the 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…
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…
