Last week I was asked to tell about the details of my daily style on één. It was filmed in my new neighbourhoud, St Andries in Antwerp.
Countdown to my best Friend’s Wedding
This saturday, my best friend Eriq is getting married to Sven. They wanted to get married already years and years before and, finally, here we are. I must say, I've never been so excited about a wedding before, most likely also due to the fact I'm the "best woman" or "best gal" of this marriage. ...
Amsterdam: fifties style McDonalds, a love boat and some Barnstompers
On february the 9th, my husband and I celebrated our 8 years of being in love. Traditionally, we head up for a romantic week-end in a city that is dear to our hearts. This year we chose Amsterdam -again-... On our way to the city of sex, drugs and rock and roll we were craving for ...
Hot Dogs, Champagne and a good old Decap Organ, a perfect night out

I think, this must have been the conclusion my husband made when he left this store whith me, smiling because of our rock crystal catch, by his side. I joined him because of pure curiosity and started browsing the hundreds of translucent rectangular ...
Rockabilly Day, a very hot goodbye to the summer
I can think of worse ways to end the summer holidays... working for Frances Folies was the cherry on top of the cake of a wonderful sunny Belgian summer. Frances set up her beauty boudoir at Rockabilly Day in Evergem. Rockabilly Day is an annual vintage car, bike and music weekender, established by James Laureyns in ...
The Belgians at Bozar
I love Belgium. I love Brussels. I love Bozar. Add some fashion topping and musical cream to this delicious trio, and I'm all fired up. Bozar invited me -and a significant troop of fellow fashionistas- to the opening night of no less than 5 exhibitions at the same time: "La mémoire de l'intime - 150 Years ...
