As I was telling you last time, my Doc martens are a great investment for this new year: we’ll have to see how they hold up in time, for unfortunately, they are no longer made in the UK! I don’t know if they’ll be as unfailing as those we had during our teens. Here’s a … Read more
I had promised you a post with the yummy addresses of Val d’Isère, so here we are! Vacations in the mountains are inevitably linked to good food, and what follows proves my point! MAISON CHEVALLOT (Avenue Olympique) Before we left for Val D’Isère, I did a little “must-eat” research, and I found this bakery/pastry shop: … Read more
A week ago, I had the privilege of being invited to Val d’Isère with my S.O. to celebrate Valentine’s Day. You can say what you want about that day, and act jaded : “It’s too commercial”, “Pff, it’s worthless, I celebrate Valentine’s Day everyday” (Yeah yeah, right, I’d like to see proof of that!), it’s … Read more
It’s a bit my Blue Week as, following the “IKEA-match”, today I am combining Electric Blue with Black and White: let’s play it safe. Here is a new outfit with high heeled shoes, which truly are the most comfortable ones I have ever worn : obviously, these are not 12 cm heels, but what can … Read more
Let’s take the same protagonists and start over: my off-white sweater and burgundy bag, mixed up with other pieces of my wardrobe… and tada, we end up with a more feminine outfit.

On the sale side: I found some stuff online but otherwise: NOT a THING. While waiting for my sale mojo to come back, I still very much enjoy wearing what I already have in my wardrobe. Here is my Sandro coat found on sale 2 years ago. It’s nice, it’s warm, and it’s aging pretty … Read more
Let’s wrap up our tour of Ghent with the food talk! As one of you said, belgian gastronomy ultimately comes down to the two best foods there can be: Fries and chocolate. Very true, but that’s not all there is to it. Indeed, during the weekend, I discovered a number of other delicious belgian specialties! … Read more
We’re continuing our visit with “sunny Ghent” this time. What can you visit in Ghent when the weather’s on your side? Well, of course, all I told you about last time, for who can do more can do less, right? …but it might be a pity to stay in so… “Let’s go outside!” First of … Read more
Last weekend I was in Ghent, Belgium. Again?!! I hear you ask! Indeed, I recently visited Antwerp, as well as Bruges and Brussels a few years ago… But this time, I was kindly invited by the tourist office of Flanders: they must have felt that the Belgian virus was taking over me slowly but surely. … Read more
When I think “long coat”, Sandra Bullock in “While you were sleeping” comes to mind: a cute rom-com movie that made my teenage heart throb. The throbbing had more to do with the twisted and unexpected romance than with the coat, but it seems my unconscious has been at work. This year, I’m wearing a … Read more
