OUTFIT // An audience with the Pope












GOOD GOD, I'M EASILY BRUISED
SO OFTEN IN LOVE
TO HER FLAME
AND THE THINGS THAT
SHE'S ASKED ME TO DO
WILL SEE A CITY OF SAINTS
FORGETTING HIS NAME

Ph. by my sister Sabine

Wearing an antique orchestra jacket, old ZARA skirt, vintage leather belt via my mommy's closet, Topshop Sakura heels and vintage boxy bag


I dived up this antique 1940's orchestra jacquet out from a pile of about 15 identical jackets. One by one hand stitched, loved and worn about 70 years ago. My jacket was the only one that came close to my size - the rest of them were way too big as they were all men's jackets. The label says it's been manufactured by the Franz Kuranda atelier in Wien, Österreich. I don't think I have ever owned a piece of clothing this unique, and full of stories.

And I hope I'll be able to cherish it for seven decades more.

RANDOM // Preview and something to say

Just came back from a Dutch festival called Lowlands, and my heart's filled up with one of the most beautiful things on this earthly world: music and love. This antique jacket fits the theme of my mood, and you'll be seeing the full pictures later on this week..

On another note, I wanted to say that I feel extremely shocked and aggravated by the events occured on the Pukkelpop festival in my neighbour country, Belgium. I think it struck me twice as hard since I was enjoying my time on a festival myself at the same time..

My heart goes out to the people who lost their loved ones in that terrible accident.

LIFE // London pt 1














Some pictures from the first days in London: we went to the British Museum, had an international culinary trip at the Real Food Market near the Thames (the best food event ever!), and enjoyed watching people.

LIFE // Olá, Barcelona









Ph. by me and Yapkan

Well-dressed men in Barcelona // Fishing for money in the fountains.. Clever, I guess? // One of my sisters // H&M, random // H&M Fashion Against Aids pants, Bershka vest, ancient ZARA bag, and - yes - Birkenstock sandals.. // On our way to the best view on Barcelona.. // ..Definitely worth the long walk // Olá.

I have some bits and bobs left on my camera from Spain, which I will show you later on. But I have really misbehaved with my good old Nikon in London.. The London people are so damn gorgeous, stylish and laid-back! Dreaming of moving there one day. Damn.
