The saying 'bloom where you have been planted' never really applied to me. As much as I am grateful for the initial ground where I got the chance to grow, there's nothing I love more than the rush of discovering unknown territory. If there's anything I learned during these first two years as a de...

Brussels, Thursday December 23th 2021, 17h30 While rereading the goals I had set for 2021 , I can only conclude that I did a quite good job bringing myself a few steps closer to the woman I want to become. To be honest, at the present time, there is little that I could be unhappy about. Obviously, ...

As the days get darker, and nights get colder, snuggle season is finally settling in. Crisping leaves beneath your feet whilst you're walking in the dark to and home from work. Rare rays of sunshine on your cold, bare face every once in a while remind us that Fall hasn't ended just yet. Chances for ...

Hello September! We went through some extremely gloomy Summer months here in Belgium, and unless we get a delightful Indian Summer, it's apparently not getting any better. Fortunately, this "in-between season", where we resume studies or work, also has its charm! For me, it is the season I love mos...

Brussels, 26th of May 2021, 21h30 My heart skips a beat, because time has finally come to reveal the hard work we’ve put into this. I'm feeling excited, grateful and utterly happy to welcome you with a first post on a brand new The Sacred Closet. New beginnings - dreams turning into reality It wa...

Brussels, Sunday December 27th 2020, 22h38 It's already late when I'm sitting on the couch enjoying one last glass of champagne reminiscing, I believe, the most meaningful Christmas weekend so far. My cat is softly purring on its blanket next to me, the fireplace is lit, just like dozens of candles...

I hope that for those who already started a new year in school, everything went as you hoped for this first week. While your feeds are surely getting flooded with back to school- looks and outfit posts; well, I’m sorry but here’s another one! As for me, I’m only getting back to college on the 1st o...

When you’d rather be chilling at home, but still got responsibilities going on in the outside world that require your flawless presence: this basically is what happens. You decide that ‘today will be just a little more effortless than usual’; and you don’t change your at home flared jungle pants for...

This is not my first post wearing jeans dungarees. Flashback to 2014 , where I wore a shorter version of today’s showpiece. So I assume that, in case you’re following me here for a looong time already, the fact that I love to wear dungarees (because they always fit me super well and I kind of get a...

Last month I had the opportunity to work together with one of my fave boutiques in Leuven selling Italian, yet affordable fashion. Karina Vom Berge, named after its owner with the same name. The upcoming weeks I'll be showing you three looks I got to pick myself to show you on the blog. The fact tha...

Going out for coffee is one of my favorite things to do. To have a chat around it, or just by myself: I truly think it’s still one of the rare, most peaceful activities in this overbusy world. That’s why I grabbed one with Pauline , one of my sporadic go-to photographers. My coffee break was not th...

Hello folks, I hope you’re all doing well. Tonight I’d like to share a conscious urban outfit with you. Maybe I’m not the only one that has noticed a slight evolution over the years, throughout the origin of my wardrobe pieces appearing on this blog. I tend to combine more high quality products to...

Coming back home from vacation two days ago, in this ice cold environment I was so happy to escape from for a while, I had mixed feelings. I wanted to take a fresh start at school and be the best version of myself , at the same time I felt like I really needed some more time off. The last two m...

Hello lovers ❤ Tonight I’m welcoming you on the blog for the last time this year, with an outstanding outfit I’m personally really fond of. The past few weeks I’ve been quite absent here, and also my every day posting on Instagram has diminished within the same timeframe. And although it’s been good...

This look is definitely the opposite of what you expect to come out of my closet. All black, classic and serene. Certainly nothing tomboy-ish about it. To me, wearing all black and formal clothes screams out hush and mystery. Now, do those adjectives describe the girl that I am? Nope, even on th...

I often get multiple questions from friends, family but also you regarding my favorite cities to shop. Truth is I could come up with one, maybe two examples (like Antwerp & Brussels) that are anything but original. I mean who wasn’t been in one of those yet, hoping to find something they’re looking ...

Hello girls! Today I’m happy to share a special look with you that I had the honour to compose in collaboration with Decadence de Luxe , a concept store in the heart of Sint-Truiden. I had heard multiple times about the shop before and since my friend Julie shoots for them regularly, we decided to ...

Although it’s Fall, I keep wearing skirts and dresses to class every single day. I’m in love with this warm and easy weather that makes it perfectly possible for us girls to still pull off some bare legged-looks. To keep this blog and myself up-to-date regarding the contingency of seasons in our lit...

What happens when you match two of 2017’s most fashionable must-have items together? In my case, you get the perfect indian summer/late garden party look. For this ensemble I chose to wear my beloved Bobo Tremelo heels (I’m quite sure you saw them passing by already haha) instead of casual sneakers ...

Hello peeps! It has been a few hours, not more, since I stepped on Belgian land again. The last 10 days I’ve been in Spain and Russia, taking one plane right after the other. Needless to say that I didn’t have the time to breathe properly, haha! Nevertheless I had a wonderful time in all of the citi...

All settled down after my awesome vacation on Ibiza and dealing with regular nostalgia pangs, I am more than happy to share this hot summer look with you! September is sticking out its sneaky head just around the corner, only I have more summer looks in store for you. So be prepared for more bare...

I hardly ever find something suitable enough for myself in sales. Whether it’s not available in my size anymore or whether it’s just rubbish of poor quality: I’ve seriously experienced it all. Nope, sales aren’t my favorite time of the year. One of the rare exceptions when it comes to shopping sales...

❛A gypsy soul isn’t lost and looking. A gypsy soul is one who loves movement and finding the pulse in nature and flight as a metaphor. One who thinks everything’s music. One who knows and holds an inward and therefore outwardly contagious kind of freedom.❜ -Victoria Erickson, author Edge of Wonder J...

Hi guys! Today I’m showing you this breathtaking look (I mean, I’m in love) that I shot with Annelies in a big rose garden close to where I live. You’ll see more of the beautiful roses that grow there in the next outfit posts I’m about to write! Fact: I was chased by dozens of geese while taking...

Seeing these pictures again makes me long for Summer more than I ever could’ve imagined. It was in July 2016 that I hit the streets with Pauline from P.Elle Photographie  and shot this amazing dress, somewhere between Brussels’ Central Station and historical city centre. Totally clueless I was ab...

Now that I’ve shown you my beloved pompom sneakers , be ready for an -almost- full ZARA outfit again. I just can’t help it, they’ve got so many nice things in store lately! I found this flower skirt together with the white blouse while I was running through the shop, holding the concerned sneakers ...

“They are obviously, certainly and without any doubt made for me.” It’s the first thought that came to my mind when I crossed these babies’ path. I think I’ve got over 10 pairs of sneakers with these being my current faves, duh! Looking at the bouncing pompons on my feet while walking to class insta...

Now the time has come to wear skirts and tops again instead of jeans and sweaters, I can finally permit myself to share this one of a kind outfit with you. We (my friend Julie and me) actually shot it last Summer! What a shame, I hear you think. But I’ve got a good reason for the delay: at the end...

“Santa tell me, if you’re really there?” It’s almost that time of the year, and I bet Ariana’s ready to echo on repeat through your speakers again. Countless delicious dinners and get-togethers with friends and family: cosiness can be fancy too! Today’s outfit post is meant to inspire you in your ou...

Hi guys! First of all I’d like to thank you for the mass of support and kind words I received on my entry for Zalando’s Creative Content Icon . The goal of the competition was to create meaningful content around a fashion topic. We received full carte blanche, and that’s what I liked so much about ...

It had been ages since Annelies and me got out on the streets to shoot together, like we usually do after or before class. Summer had separated the two us and our little team got neglected for a while. I’m happy that this new semester not only brings new things for the blog (stay tuned) , but also ...

Hi girls! School has started two weeks ago for me, and so far it has been a constant hurry to get all administration settled, to get all of my books (and life together, lol), to be present at the obligated birthday (or non-birthday) parties AND most courses… It’s the regular ‘beginning of the semes...

Hello girls! I bet everyone of you already went through this: while busy composing your outfit and turning your entire wardrobe upside down, you find something you had totally forgotten the existence of, all wrapped up, in the back of your closet. That’s exactly how I rediscovered my good old black ...

Hi guys! With Summer coming closer and closer now temperatures hit over 20 degrees in Belgium (which will be the hottest place in Europe this weekend, apparently!), festival fever starts to show it’s first symptoms already. I’m pretty sure everyone is craving Summer as hell, especially now we are on...

A special occasion, such as the anniversary of the blog (yesss, it’s been two extraordinary years already!) asks for a blogpost with a twist : no boring pictures of another outfit in the streets, in front of a colorful door, or anything else so basic you can imagine that we bloggers made a habit of...

Finally! Each time I walk out the door, I feel Spring temperatures rising little by little. In no time, we will be pulling our favorite Summer dresses out of the closet! Spoken of Summer, and dresses in particular, this one by Nanouk is my newest gain. Perfect for a day on the beach above a bikini,...

Two weeks ago, I met one of Belgium’s new young designers: Michèle Mottrie . According to her ‘Show what you got, hide what you need’ motto, she designed the cutest bags ever made in Fashionland: Mìmo was born! Since I want to help young Belgian designers and offer them a place in the spotlight...

The bomber jacket : a basic that was standing on top of my wish list for a while now. I would be lying if I’d say I did not regret leaving the perfect, yellow golden bomber behind at Scotch and Soda last season. Luckily I got my second chance at… H&M ! I hesitated for half an hour between the exac...

For this first outfit of a brand new semester, I’m wearing my new Stan Smiths I bought recently at Bellerose in Leuven. When looking for a new pair of Nikes, Stans or Superstars, I always take a look at Bellerose! They always have the coolest models you don’t find anywhere else (except on the Inte...

First of all: HAPPY 2016!!! I had a great New Year’s Eve with my best friends at home. Usually we go out on NY, but since that always ends up not to be what we expected of our evening, we decided to just have dinner at home and sip champagne in the jacuzzi all night! And honestly, I couldn’t have ...

I just came back home from my last week in Leuven this year. Just like every semester, I feel kinda weird when leaving my room. It’s like leaving behind so much beautiful memories of the past few months: the drunk parties, the countless dinners with friends, the best conversations with the most inte...

It has been 2 busy weeks, and unfortunately that’s not going to change quickly. My days are currently filled with classes, practical sessions and visits to the library. Luckily cozy evenings in restaurants and bars with friends, or quick coffee breaks with class mates compensate for this horrible pr...

It had been drizzling on and off the day we shot this outfit, but luckily we managed to do so the moment it cleared up. Time to pick out the forgotten Mango   pied de poule skirt and to add my new Essentiel fluff ! For the constant enthusiast that I am (and thus, the people in my environment), it...

The last couple of days have been so warm for this time of the year, I guess we’re right in the middle of an Indian Summer. Which is a good thing actually, because I really wasn’t ready to pick out my warmest coat, boots and col roulés yet. I decided to wear the cutest little jumpsuit ever that ...

Bonjour! ❤ Already before I went having a look at Claire’s pop-up store in Namur, because of her collaboration with the Belgian label Mais Qui Es-Tu , I had noticed this super cool t-shirt on her Instagram feed. I’m a big fan when it comes to sweaters and tees with nice quotes or just direct sta...

Hi loves , It has been a few days since my last post about Juwelen Tegen Borstkanker , and since then the orders have been piling up like crazy!! It’s obvious that you guys love the jewelry, and what’s more important, you all contribute in the fight against breast cancer. Which is a noble and grea...

Hi guys! A new week, new look! It’s the last ‘sparkle heel’ one I’m showing you, and actually that thought makes me a little sad. I had so much fun with the team shooting this series of sparkle heel-looks, I’m almost dying to get back on the streets with them again and show you tons of outfits in m...

Hi guys!   This week I’m showing you the third sparkle heel-look already, and I guess it’s a quite daring one! Mixing prints… To be honest it’s not a topic I am so familiar with. But I have to admit that when I see it on the girls in the magazines or in articles of colleague bloggers, I catch myself...

An outfit to wear to business appointments, or even college? This week’s sparkle heel-look shows you how to dress formal and credible, without neglecting your inner splendour. Whenever I wear this shirt, I have to admit it makes me feel like a law student (no offence by the way). Especially in Winte...

Hello guys! Like I announced in the previous diary post, I thought it would be a cool idea to show you four ways to combine your heels with. Heels with sparkles , in this case! I am a huuuuge fan of sparkles, so most of the time I add it in whatever I’m gonna wear. That can be this ripped pants I’m...

Bonjour, beautiful! I’m enjoying these first few new weeks of college to the fullest. For now, I can leave exam-stress far far faaar behind, and put to-do lists as a lower priority. The perfect occasion for some Spring shopping! I found some nice pieces at Zara, and couldn’t wait to wear and show yo...

Hello folks! I had an amazing day yesterday. Although I had to wake up quite early to go to class, I had something to look forward to. Shooting my outfit for the blog at noon! It is hard sometimes to write a lot because of my studies, especially because I love this so much. But I swear I’ll be back ...

Whenever I’m at the seaside, I make sure I’ll make a stop at Must Have . Nowhere I find as original clothes as they have here! It definitely is my favorite place to shop in Knokke. Together with my friend Julie, who studies photography, I went to Knokke 2 weeks ago for a shooting day. I was really ...

Hi everyone! I’m back with a brand new post about, that’s right, summer!! So just forget about the studybooks for five minutes, lean back, relax and get inspired for early summer 2014. I can’t wait for those warm days where you can stay outside all day, with a glass of wine tanning on the beach or j...

The biker look: do you wear it casual or chique? Although I have to admit your closet can’t miss the perfect pair of biker boots, combining your leather look with a colorful pair of heels is always a good idea. I like the sweet touch of the white shirt, which is also a musthave in your own ‘sacred c...
