Pretty pretty interiors

oh (loud sigh), wouldn't you just love living in an interior this clean and crisp? Looking at these pictures I just wonder why I always feel the urge to blend in colors in my interior. Will try to resist that urge in new house...

Yoga Time


I’ve recently picked up yoga again.

This was entirely catalyzed by the new Esprit Wellness Collection worn by Christy Thurlington. Christy looks great, and she says it’s thanks to yoga. So, I went to the Esprit store , got me a yoga outfit and went to yoga class (hadn’t been there for a while). I want to look like Christy, that’s clear.

Now I’m not talking regular yoga. My yoga, it’s bikram yoga.A 1,5 hour session of hard core yoga (never thought I’d combine those two words) in a room of about 35 degree Celsius.

That’s hot. Basically too hot for the clothes I got from esprit, so they’ll need to find a different destination (I’ve already decided they’ll be my cocoon outfit this winter, bet Christy cocoons a lot too). But anyway, I love it. My teacher is a crazy polish woman who repeatedly states: open up your chest like a petal flower blooming’ (I surely don’t look like a flower during yoga, nor do my classmates) and pushes my limits. Soon I’ll be looking like Christy. So looking forward to it.

Martin Margiela for H&M

So, let’s talk Martin Margiela. I am just going to say it as it is. I do.not.like.his.clothes. There. I’ve said it.

Fashion lovers will say I simply don’t understand his idea of fashion, and you know what? They would be right: I don’t get it. Why in heavens name would I voluntary want to look like a garbage bag? Even if it goes by the name of ‘structural and abstract’ fashion.

And don’t even get me going about his statement ‘spread toe’ shoes. I will not nor will I ever pay that much money for shoes that make me look like a hobbit.

Now, on the bright side, his collection for H&M (though still featuring loads of clothes I cannot describe otherwise than weird) had some rather good pieces. And some celebrities really managed to make it work. Then again some people can make anything work. Damn you Helena.

One small comment, does anybody else notice how SJP's hand is missing in the picture? I just wonder if that would be part of the campagne? Since the advertising really reminds me of the horror pic 'birds', I would not be amazed... crazy fashion people.

philosophy purity gel

In the morning I need water, not only a big glass to drink, but also a splash of fresh water on my face. As water only is a slightly boring ritual (not to mention it really doesn’t do much cleansing) I’ve recently added philosophy’s purity gel to my morning routine.

As I mostly have about 10 minutes to get freshened up, put make-up on, get dressed, & have breakfast, my number one demand for my morning beauty ritual is efficiency. And boy is this gel efficient. It’s melts away make up traces, cleanses & tones. Ha, 3 in 1 , just what I need on hasty mornings. That, and I love the smell and texture of it.

Available at www.iciparisxl.be & for 20,50 a 240ml jar is yours.

Winter Looks

The magic formula of a well styled winter silhouette: classic pieces with one edgy touch to spice things up. I’m thinking: a hint of a leopard print, crazy shoes, studded gloves, leather details…  
Please do only select one or two at the max, if combined altogether in one outfit you'll look Eastern European (so sorry for my polish friends, but that's just how it is).
