Metallic Obi

Yet another fashion trend I really love, obi belts. I prefer the metallic ones, especially combined with a colour blocking outfit, just like Gucci did in the outfits below. This kind of belt is ideal to separate your different coloured pieces. In the meantime, it makes your bright outfit even more shimmery and vivid and it accentuates your body by making your waist look thinner. 

I don't know about you guys, but I don't need any more persuading. Unfortunately the Gucci ones are a little out of my financial range. At least I know what I'll be looking for during summer sales!

Festival Season Kick-off




CALYPSO ST BARTH long tee, $49
TopShop black shorts, $66
Bandeau swimwear, $60
Report checkered slip on shoes, $70
Proenza Schouler satchel handbag, $1,595
Alexander McQueen silk shawl, £275



This weekend the festival season in Belgium has officially started. I could think of no better reason to post a set of pretty festival clothes. Apart from the comfy maxi-dresses, casual shorts with loose, oversized tops or shirts are always a big hit during festivals. We definitely recommend wearing bright, sunny colours. How else were you planning on getting that hot bandleader's attention? Cardboard signs are soooo 2010!

Androgenious!

There's a reason why there's a male part in female . This proves again that women can get away with everything!

Say Hi to our magazine: LIM.IT


Lisa and I are both (very) busy studying journalism in Antwerp. Towards the end of our year we had to make a magazine about links between the U.S.A. and Antwerp. Together with three other classmates we worked on our magazine for several weeks. It has literally cost us blood, sweet and tears - although you shouldn't take the blood part too seriously - but now we are proud to present to you, the cover of our brand new, very own magazine, LIM.IT!

P.S.: For those who would like to read some of our articles, you can always visit our webpage at http://limitit.wordpress.com/

Brussels with the ladies

Today, Charlotte and I went to Brussels with three lovely girls from school. We had an amazing afternoon and so much luck with the weather (it's officially summer, but believe me you wouldn't say it is. Oh sweet little Belgium, no government and bad weather). 

Anyway, I was really happy to see them again and to be in Brussels. I love our capital; all the different cultures, the beautiful galleries, and of course les chocolatiers . Et mais oui aussi le français, bien sûr.

Thanks to Melissa we have our first "outfit"photos to share. Which I think is very nice. 

Bisous, x

Clientology Antwerp

A few days ago I paid my first visit to Clientology in Antwerp. Since De Cliént already opened a first branch in Gent, it was obvious that Antwerp was due to get one too. Clientology is pretty much the relaxed, zen version of De Client. Think relaxing music, massages and biological treatments for your hair as well as your body. I had already been in big need of a haircut and I figured a little relaxation couldn’t hurt either. And relaxation I got!

To start with, the interior decoration is very stylish and creates a really soothing atmosphere. People were all extremely friendly. The way I wanted my hair done was thoroughly discussed which is quite important since hair is a sacred issue to many women. Around lunchtime every customer got a bowl of absolutely delicious biological soup. But my favourite moment had to be having my hair washed. Imagine having your head massaged while sitting in a chair that massages your back and having your hands pampered, all at the same time. I dare you not to float off to another dimension while sitting there!
