*riding my bike

* getting fresh flowers from the market across the street

* morning mist

* sunday breakfast

* holding hands

* trying out a new pasta recipe

* people liking my things from Made by l e n n e b e l l e

* getting to wear that new dress I just finished at sewingclass

to name just a few,…..

Le voyage du ballon rouge. There is this original silent one from 1956 and the new version with Julliete Binoche. It is seen as a tribute to Paris! I loved it!

* Have a nice weekend *

Everywhere you look around there are little shrines; in front of most houses, in guesthouses and shops. Most have small offerings like fruit, flowers and incense.

They are all so pretty!

This online shop will take some of your time. Billet is a Japanese site but unfortunately it is not possible to order when you don’t understand their language. But still inspiring!

These photo’s are made by my friend Sohia who is a stylist and photographer and also did the photoshoot for Made by l e n n e b e l l e! Aren’t these pretty! This is at my small workspace at home.

Paris is my favourite city so I love to visit it once a year! It has been a while since I stayed in this wonderfull apartment in Le Marais. I went we three of my best friends in 2007. (how time flies, amazing!) While searching for an afordable place to stay we found this little majestic spot at l’appartment Blanc.

This appartment is no longer available but there are other pretty nice ones! The interior was a great inspiration for my own place. I love the kilim cushions!

Today we crossed the border from Vietnam to Cambodia! Between all the enjoyment of traveling  I found time to write some letters to loved ones at home! It so much nicer then only by e-mail!

The ‘Q-tip’  in the picture is a special Vietnamese one made from little chicks  feathers. So soft and so much nicer to look at then to put in your ear!

I had heard about this styling book ‘Five la fête’ before but never knew it was from Rotterdam, my homecity, based stylingstudio FriedaMaria. Just scrolling their website is addictive, I looked in every corner! Five la fête is fun. It is full of easy to do DIY styling tips!

The colours here are just amazing. Now in Hoi An I can’t stop getting my camera out! Hoi An is this cute little vibrant place in the middle of ricefields. In the evening all streets are filled with lantarns in all colours and there are no other streetlights, very romantic!
