Bonjour les gars,

You might know this already, and if you didn't you know now: I'm in love with Paris - like really really really really in love.

The love story began around the 3rd time I visited Paris, and ever since somehow from the moment I set foot in this city I become this much happier version of myself, and I like the me I become when I'm here. I'm much more relaxed, I take life as it comes and I can be perfectly happy with the smallest things you can imagine. Sometimes it feels like I was born to be une parisienne , I act like one and I just feel so at home here, it just feels so right when I'm walking down the streets, taking te metro or ordering un café.

The craziest thing happend to me a couple of weeks ago. As most of you guys, I also have an instragam account and as most of you guys I follow people I don't know. Since some time now i've been following a girl from Paris named Fiona, she's like my Parisian twin sister (that speaks french instead of dutch and has brown hair instead of blonde). When I came to paris in February, I asked her for some new places to visit and of course which exhibitions I had to see since she litterlly goes to all of them. Months passed by and we kept talking from time to time. Then, one day after I added her on Facebook since it's easier to talk, she told me that if I was planning on visiting Paris in the summer she had the keys to her friends apartment and if I wanted to I could stay there. Of course I immediately started flipping out of happiness and it didn't take me long to realise chances like these don't come often. I took the opportunity and booked a ticket to Paris to sleep in an appartement of a girl I don't know and to meet with a girl I have never met in my whole life and where I just have talked with on Instagram. Talk about an adventure!

Luckily I didn't get raped or kidnapped, better yet this trip turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made because Fiona is an amazing girl & her friend Julliete is also incredible. Having my own apartment in Paris for a week made me feel like a real Parisienne more than ever. Now I can truly say that I have some parisienne's that I can call my friends. I had a blast being in Paris for those 4 amazing days, meeting this two girls.

Here is how it went down;
























If you can't guesse where this is  -  S H A M E  O N  Y O U - pack your bags & leave now.
This is lovely London, it was my 4th time here and I fell a little bit more in love with this city.
From Brussels it's only a two hours train ride away and when you're lucky you find some cheapass tickets (as far as cheap eurostartickets go of course)

When in London I kinda want to be a more extravagant version of myself, you see all these cool kids walking around in their eye-catching outfits & all the cool - but too expensive - boutiques with all the clothing you ever dreamed of. The area where I was mostly found and which I can really recommend you is SHOREDITCH. Just go there, walk around, it's an upcoming neighbourhood. It's artsy, it's fun, it's cool, it's so London.

One of the cool things I discovered this time is that London has lots & lots of rooftoops.
It's kinda amazing, because on the streets there is so much fuzz that sitting in on a roof sipping a drink is the best way to relax. The one I loved the most was the following.

1) Queen of Hoxton






Also take a stroll on

2) Brick Lane, especially in the weekend when there is an underground vintage market & lots of food trucks.




And ofcourse as you know we like art, so you must must must go to Tate Modern, and if you listen to me you go by the Millenium bridge , why? this is why :













 Andddd of course, my ultimate LDN OUTFIT. I know you are all soooo eager to see it so
well here you go loves.





If you went to LDN and have some really nice spots you acctualy don't wan to share but you like us so much & do want to share them with us, leave a comment.
