I’m back from a short trip to Cinque Terre in Italy. We decided on it last minute, looking for sun and singsong accents, and I wasn’t disappointed. This is the perfect destination for breathtaking scenery lovers (and lovers themselves). Cinque Terre comprises of 5 gorgeous villages along the Mediterranean coast: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, … Read more
Aaah! I had to wait until June to be able to wear my “Paris Map” tshirt for a stroll on the Seine banks….still, I had to warm up with my blazer (You can’t be too careful). It’s a simple look, and I’m wearing my little mice shoes. Small riddle: What bag do you think I … Read more
I was sneaky about my trip to Seoul. But I’m even sneakier today: last month, I didn’t only go to Seoul, I also went to Thailand! (You didn’t suspect anything right?!). I loved my trip last year so much that I had to go back! So I divided my trip between Bangkok and Koh Samui … Read more
Seoul is a huge city. Going from point A to point B requires quite some effort (and time) walking: to cross the street, the green man light lasts about 20 seconds and then turns red for 5 minutes – you’d better not miss the boat! That’s why the subway is one of the easiest ways … Read more
In Seoul, the most impressive palace to visit is (take a deep breath …) Changdeokgung, the Prosperity palace. From what I read, since its construction in 1405, it underwent a whole lot of destructions and reconstructions, for the result that we can admire today. It really lives up to its UNESCO classification as World Heritage! … Read more
I’m almost ashamed of the title, but I had a pang of nostalgia for this character whose only job, in my opinion, was to be Donna’s boyfriend at the beginning of the cult tv series Beverly Hills 90210 (I did start to appreciate him more as the series moved on, but my favorite was Dylan … Read more
Here’s the typical Parisian outfit in the mind of foreigners. A total cliché (leave my head out of it, and it’s perfect). Sailor stripes, a coat, boots, a baguette, a beret it’s the very essence of simplicity. I get the feeling that it’s what non-French find fascinating, but for us, it’s totally banal. Not totally … Read more
This week, I went shopping (at the Bon Marché, amongst others) and here is what I brought back, with the upcoming sunny days in mind. A Carven t-shirt: with a print of an old Paris map. I love the retro side of the print, and that way I’m also ensured I won’t get lost! Map … Read more
Here are the pictures taken the “day before” the storm in Amsterdam. Sometimes, the weather can be benevolent: the event could clearly not have taken place as easily the following day during the blizzard. The event in question was the Tulpendag, or “National Tulips Day”, on the 19th of January. I heard about it when … Read more
I am back from a very cold yet very fun weekend in Amsterdam! It was my first time in the city and I really enjoyed it! Even with the freezing cold and the small snow blizzard on sunday, we still managed to visit the city thoroughly. I do have one regret though: I should have … Read more
