There's a new gem in town! A few weeks ago, Papier Tigre, opened their first brick and mortar shop in the Haut Marais in Paris. You may already know Papier Tigre products: they create beautiful and contemporary paper products with a humorous twist. Their new space is like their webshop: bright, smart and with funny Read article…

Less but better is more
Five months ago on my birthday I mentioned that All I need is less. And not much has changed: I'm still decluttering, throwing and giving stuff away and only bought necessities. Super boring right?! To spice things ups, I created a virtual wishlist of things that I love but not particularly need. Less but better 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…
The Recollection Antwerp
I love shops where it's not only about products, but also about styling and creating a unique setting. And when shop owners decide to add some greens… you know I'm in 😉 Some of my favorites include HAY House in Copenhagen and La Maison Pernoise in the Provence, but this weekend I discovered a new Read article…
The colors of Antwerp
Our weekend in Antwerp was cold and foggy but also rather colorful! For the first time ever we visited the Botanical gardens with colorful sculptures: The Fashion Museum, MoMu, celebrates its 50th birthday with an exhibition of graduation and recent work of students, including the famous Antwerp6+1. Happy birthday Dear Academie! A = Antwerp I Read article…
La Maison Pernoise
Shopping in the Provence can be very boring: lavender sachets, ceramic cicadas, table cloths with provencal prints… not the things I’d bring home. When I heard that a concept store opened in Pernes les Fontaines, in the middle of the Provence, I was intrigued. Last week I visited La Maison Pernoise and found it such Read article…
Hay House Copenhagen
Located on the 1st and 2nd floor of a downtown Copenhagen apartment, HAY HOUSE made me fall in love with pink again. Over the past couple of years I’ve visited several of their stores (in Berlin and Oslo and Copenhagen and Antwerp) but I like this one best: it’s spacious, the (sun!)light is great and Read article…

Stilleben Copenhagen
One week ago I was here: at the Stilleben shop in Copenhagen. It was on top of my must-visit list, after visiting their former shop a few years ago. They were launching their new Memphis tableware collection and throwing a little party. Yay! In Scandinavia people take their ceramics very seriously. In all the homes Read article…
Off to Copenhagen and Malmö
After an entire summer in France, I'm flying to Copenhagen today! I visited Copenhagen during our Scandinavian roadtrip two years ago and at the time I liked it even better than Stockholm and Oslo. After exploring Stockholm earlier this year, I can't wait to see more of Copenhagen, indulge in Danish pastries and meet up Read article…
