Not far from Studio Sapique is this abandoned place: a former workshop building. It's rusty and partly overgrown by greenery. The workmen left their old shirts & boots in the lockers and since then it served as a temporary home for 3 homeless men. Sun & vegetation took over and transformed the rusty door into Read article…

À la plage, à la piscine
Graphic, stylized, fun, sunny & colorful: these photos by Gray Malin have it all. He took these photos from a doorless helicopter hovering over beaches in France, the US, Brazil, the Caribbean & Australia.

Weekend tip: Pierrefonds
One of the most impressive castles in the Oise, must be the 14th century Castle of Pierrefonds. It's in excellent condition, was beautifully restorated in the 19th century & has beautiful graphic wall decorations! After a visit to the castle, or in case you're in need for a more laid-back activity, there's nothing more refreshing Read article…
Styloise: Simon
This is a first: I photographed someone for Styloise who doesn't appreciate living in the Oise! Simon, a student from Mouy, prefers hanging out in Paris or Lille, because to him the Oise is boring & "just suburbs". Besides Chantilly he couldn't name another place that he really liked. One of his favorite restaurants is Read article…

French Fika

Fika means having a coffee break with pastries and as one of my Danish readers pointed out, fika is only used in Sweden ( and not in Denmark ). I was looking forward to a delicious kanelbulle, but no luck: Read article…

Weekend tip: Grimp a l’arb
In stead of buying her a gift, we invited my sister to do an activity for her birthday. My sister is a true dare devil ( not! ) so climbing trees in the forest was just the thing for her. In the middle of the forest of Pierrefonds lies this tree climbing adventure parc called Grimp Read article…
Merci Paris
Merci is one of those Parisian hotspots that doesn’t need an introduction anymore, does it? The best thing about concept store Merci, besides their interesting selection of products, is the space itself: it’s huge & spacious. Every time I visit it looks completely different and last week a giant palm tree welcomed us. What more Read article…
