The MINDCRAFT Exhibition at the Cloister of San Simpliciano was one of the many highlights of my trip to Milan. Danish Fashion design Henrik Vibskov curated the exhibition and it was just as eclectic as his own designs and shop in Copenhagen. It felt very contemporary with a focus on handmade and crafts, impressive by Read article…

Maison Chateau Rouge in Paris
Mix a graphic interior, tropical plants and creative ideas with a welcoming athmosphere and you win me over. When I saw some first glimpses of the newly opened Maison Château Rouge on l'Instant Parisien's instagram, I knew I had to visit this cheerful shop as soon as possible. Youssouf, co-founder of Maison Château Rouge and Read article…
Prix de Diane 2016 in Chantilly
Last week I got to wear a hat… twice! For Anne's naturalisation party, we all wore a French beret… And this weekend I was invited to the Prix de Diane horse races in Chantilly, best known for its fancy hats. Last time I visited there was a lot of wind, not very easy to wear Read article…
Restored Amsterdam
What do you do when you have 90 minutes in Amsterdam and you want to visit a really nice store? You visit Restored, on the Haarlemmerdijk. In a gorgeous old Fish and Fruit warehouse you'll find a beautifully curated collection of design products: from backpacks to ceramics and preserved flowers. What I love about the Read article…
Giveaway Kalenji x JOELIX.com
Yayy! I'm throwing a little party, because I just went on my 200th run! If you follow me on Instagram, you know that after each run I post a picture, usually of my shoes and something colorful.

Prix de Diane in Chantilly
This weekend we had a little break from our bathroom renovation and spent our Sunday at the Prix de Diane Longines in Chantilly, at ten minutes from our home. It wasn't my first race course, but my first Prix de Diane. So I brought my biggest hat (an oversized Yohji Yamamoto fedora) and had lots Read article…
The Broken Arm in Paris
My days in Paris are always packed. I try to get most out of my time in the city, before taking the train home to our just-outside-the-banlieue city. This means: meetings with clients, a visit to an exhibition or conference, random walks, a little shopping at Uniqlo or COS and the best part: meeting with Read article…
Styloise: Liléko
Last week I met with Liléko, which was a true delight. She's a fashion student from Chartres, so technically, not a true Isarien, but she lives in Creil during the week, so I count her in 😉 She's currently working hard to finish her studies and prepare for a year abroad in the US. I Read article…
Styloise: Théo
Every since I joined Instagram last year, I discover the coolest things. Not only #urbanjungle inspiration, but I also found out that there DO live some fashionable folks in the Oise. Théo, a fashion student from Bury is one of them. He was so kind to meet me last week for a little photo shoot Read article…
Outspoken concept store Den Bosch
Ever since Iris showed her beautiful photos of concept store Outspoken on her blog, it was on my want-to-visit-list. My former hometown Den Bosch doesn't look like the city I used to know anymore (it has been over a decade!), but it does make me proud that it's home to cool places like Mariapaviljoen, eetbar Read article…
