Listen to the amazing songs of young Belgian singer song-writer Selah Sue! Check out her songs at her myspace. Influenced by Erykah Badu and Lauren Hill this is a treat for the ears! I went to performance at Lowlands festival where she got the whole crowd sitting on the ground to experience the music to its fullest! Goosebump moment!

Humanoid is a Dutch fashion brand. It just radiates comfortness and femininity. Each season the colours they use are just great as well as all the soft and luxurious fabrics. Check out their autumn/winter collection 2010!

Last weekend I had a trunk sale with friends to get rid of all the stuff that was piled up in our basement since we moved in together. You could not move an inch cause of all the boxes and crap. I needed to get this space empty because I want to turn it in to a darkroom for my photography in the near future!

But loving thriftstores and flea markets makes me come home with new stuff all the time! This time I found this lovely French brocante shelf in the pretiest colour mint green! I just could not resist!

“One day a milk toof knocked on my door and said ‘hello’!” It’s the introduction of this very funny blog ‘My Milk Toof’. Lardee and Ickle are the two cutest milk toofs you have ever seen. Inhae is the artist behind Lardee and Ickle. Follow them on their adventures here.

I am always drawn to pure eye candy and that is what this is! This poster made by Swedish graphic designer and illustrator Sandra Juto is great and I love the colours. Unfortunately I missed out on this one. It was sold out by the time I discovered it! See much more eye candy in her portfolio and amazing photos on her blog.

Baking pies gives me piece of mind. Deciding which one to make, getting all the ingredients, impatiently waiting for the result and then the tasting! This pie is the best I ever made! A meringue-rabarber pie!

This summer we went on holiday close to home. With a small tent and our vintage Vespa scooter we discovered the beauty of our own country, the Netherlands. Coming from the city, the charm of the country life was just lovely! It is not just cows and windmills, but there are some!

We ate mussels, did some kiting and had nice picknicks at the beach. I just love the beach! One day we will have a little house near the dunes just a walk from the beach!

* Enjoy the weekend! *

Love these blurry and watercoloured photos from the lookbook by fashion brand Doo.ri!

Since I can remember I make collages from images and things I love! These inspiration boards change all the time. Sometimes I need a fresh start, get the boards totaly empty and start all over again. It is fun to watch how the boards get filled up again. Obviously I am not the only one keeping up inspiration boards.

Recently I dicovered this Flickr group which is all about amazing Inspiration boards. Carefull it is addictive! As a consequence of this group a weblog was started interviewing inspiring people and showing their inspiration boards.

Soon I will turn 30! To make in a memorable occasion I decided I’d love to celebrate my birthday avec mon amour in my favourite city, Paris. We will go to Paris and do what Parisians do! Having croissants at  a petit boulangerie, sipping wine at a cosy winebar, go dancing wearing my new dress, strolling along the Seine and visit to the unique shops described in Paris Made by Hand. There are a couple I really would like to see for myself.

Loving Paris and all things handmade made me crave for Pia Jane’s book ‘Paris Made by Hand’! A real must have. The joy I feel flipping through the pages with pretty pictures is priceless!

Overall Pia Jane’s work as a stylist and photographer is simply great. Check out her site and you can order Paris Made by Hand here.
