The sun, breaking its way through the streets of Nice, a weekend in October. Perhaps it was driven by the force of love (that of my brother-in-law Paul and his girlfriend Klaske who tied the knot that weekend, to be more precise). Who knows… What I do know is that no matter the forces, we had such Read more…
When in Antwerp, don’t forget to visit the Dries van Noten exhibition ‘Inspiration’ in the MoMu Fashion Museum. It’s the very first time the fashion designer discloses his oeuvre in any exhibition and reveals the singularity of his creative process, illustrated with numerous sources of inspiration. Worth a visit!
Last weekend we were in Berlin (no kids involved) (thank you parents-in-law)! Unfortunately the usual suspects – our dear friends Lasse & Shino – weren’t there this time, but we had a great time with Lot & Pim (Daan’s sister + her boyfriend, who temporarily live in Berlin) and some good restaurants, shops, cycling and Read more…

From the coffee at Vitrin to the familiar vitrines at Wouters & Hendrix’ new shop, Antwerp sure did its best when visiting during the last weeks of my maternity leave* (after the obligatory pumping at the parking – yes, you moms know what I’m talking about – I did think I deserved it though).

Last weekend I climbed Mont Ventoux in France. Well, climbing… I didn’t exactly bike my way up like my super fanatic colleagues did (I was on a business trip), but – as it suits a pregnant girl (yesss, another baby on its way! :)) – I drove a car (hey, someone needs to take care Read more…
… enjoying nature, food, family & friends (this is the view from our house!)
