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!

Last year was a pretty turbulent year!

Moved in together, lost my job, started my own business Made by l e n n e b e l l e, learned how to paint and sew, went to numurous concerts, did several city trips; Berlin, Paris, Rome, London, sold my car and bought a vintage Vespa, enjoyed snowboarding in Switserland and went camping in our little tent in our living room as well as close to the beach, went ice-skating and skydiving.

2010 starts with a great Asian adventure and what next? Enjoying and expanding what I started with Made by l e n n e b e l l e. Doing a photography course and what else? We will see.

I just had a wonderfull christmas! Delicious dinners and got spoilt with amazing gifts! See below the crafty works from my love! He gave me a photocourse when we come back home from Asia.

I just adore this photo! Jack, our little (big) monster shot with the vintage Leica we are trying to figure out. I will miss my hug buddy  so much when we will be traveling next year for 100 days.

Last october I was with friends in London! This pretty picture I shot at Brick Lane! A total buzz of creative people! I loved every detail of this small performance!

The fireplace in my old appartment! And love this one over at the Selby!
