Some days feel like you received a precious gift. Not in a monetary way, that you may expect in this month of gift giving, wishlists, giftguides, giving to charity and advent calendars. But more in an "experience" way. Two weeks ago, after spending a wonderful weekend in Rome for #Blago2017 I was lucky to have Read article…
Last weekend I went to Italy for the fourth time this year. In April I was invited to Milan for Design Week and later that month I was in Genoa and we visited Aosta in May. But it had been 21 years and 1 month since I was in Rome, during the typical "Rome reis", Read article…
Two thousand and fourteen was intense and left me happy and exhausted. These were some of my personal highlights: In May I opened up and shared our personal love story, the reactions were heart-warming and made me tear up. I love my husband so much! /// We finally started building a new bathroom. It’s not Read article…
Between all my work projects that kept me in home office, I managed to travel quite a bit in 2014. For work, for my blog, for fun and to visit family & friends. Of course I hope to explore some more in 2015. In the next couple of days I'll start with Lille and Nice, Read article…

When strolling down the streets of Milan, I was pleasantly surprised by the omnipresence of greens! Of course the upcoming Urban Jungle Bloggers topic was in the back of my head: balconies & window sills, so I guess I was a little obsessed… So if you're looking for some last minute inspiration, look no further Read article…

You didn't need a map to find the Hay showroom during the Salone del Mobile in Milan: you could simply follow the cool folks sporting the limited edition Wrong for Hay totes to get there. It's the first time since 2008 that Danish furniture & accessory brand Hay and sister brand Wrong for Hay were Read article…
The number of times that we sighed and smelled wisteria during our Blago trip, were countless. I haven't seen any wisteria here in the Oise yet, but in Italy they were blooming on every street corner. And because unfortunately I cannot include perfumes on my blog (yet!), I tried to capture the purple flowering plant Read article…
