Petrified
When all of this started I, and many with me, were petrified with fear and astonishment. Watching TV all day, looking for that newsfeed that would give us a way out of this. News that didn’t come. Meanwhile we are 7 weeks into lockdown and we have frozen time. We have cut a block out…
Het zijn rare tijden.
Wij hadden een mooi plan, dit weekend zou ons atelier en winkeltje open gaan. Een project waar wij al een hele tijd met hart en ziel aan werken. Het is anders gelopen. Intussen zitten we met zijn allen om heel goede redenen in ons kot. Maar makers gonna make en met zijn allen maken we…
Beat the Blues
Holidays are over, I’m ready for Summer now! Let’s skip dreary February and March and just fast forward to the first sunny days of April. If only! But there is a silver lining to the misery: We can finally give in to the drama! Go on- light the fire, listen to that blues playlist, open…
Berlin
The party I missed! My friends from all over the world met up for a Big Birthday party in Berlin. Work and other obligations made it impossible for me to join them. But they kept me in the loop with their whats app stories. I can’t believe I missed all that! Berlin is an exciting…

French markets are a great way to sample French Lifestyle at its best. One of my favorite stalls is the herbs and spices stall. Even…
You don’t have to shout to be heard.
Making a statement isn’t the same as being Loud. The bigger the better is the trend but I don’t follow that rule. To be honest, there aren’t many rules that I follow at all. I think the shape of your face and of your ear lobe, your personal taste and especialy your mood should determine…
Saint Tropez
New Collection. I stumbled upon this photograph by Slim Aarons. Aarons is renowned for his evocative photographs of, as he described it, attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places. This image is what summer is all about, a group of friends having a good time. I was drawn to the effortless elegance in this…
no dull moments
The chaos is real! Launching a webshop is a bit of a nerve wrecking experience. Weeks of meticulous planning went into this project. Photo’s, graphic design, packaging, the website, a social media plan, a blogpost plan, I was prepared for everything,… and then real life happens. I promised you authenticity, so here goes: A glitch…
