Home - It's all in the details

As some of you may know, me and my boyfriend bought an apartment together last summer. It is actually a big milestone, my first house! I thought it would be nice to share some details, the last time I showed picture the house looked like this. Can you believe the difference?

We worked so hard on this apartment to make it our dream home and it is not even close to being finished, but there are already spots in the apartment that I really really love. 

You are looking at:

//My favorite shelf in the kitchen

//Dining table

//Light in a jar

//Personal books and frame 

Inspiration // Spring essentials

While surfing the net my eyes get automatically drawn to all what's printed and multi-colored. The sun is shining more often and temperatures are slowly going up, which means Spring is on its way! 

This is my wish list, for now. I'm sure as new items arriving each week, this list will change from time to time. But this is a pretty solid lists, the items are all spring proof and will hopefully make their way into my wardrobe somehow.

Corset//Asos  Scarf//Mango Outlet  Shorts//Free People

Pants//Maison Scotch  Necklace//Mango  Jacket//Maison Scotch

Hat//Topshop  Skirt//Zara  Boots//ASOS  Bracelet//Shop Belina

Diary // My life in snapshots

The past few weeks went by so fast I didn't even realize it was almost 3 weeks since my last blogpost. I've been busy with, I don't know, everything.. 

So here's a little recap of the first half of January. You are looking at:

// A gorgeous orange sky in the morning, it's getting lighter everyday /yay!\

// My kitchen after I cleaned it

// Last saturday I had a movie day with my friend, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Prosecco and home made brownies!

// We also made a delicious lunch for ourselves

// And I made some scroppino's, we definitely had enough for one day lol!

// My boyfriend surprised me with a new dining table, I am in love with it!

// Sleeping in, thank god for weekends

// Pretty starfish I spotted at the beach

// My new glasses, I can now safely ride a car again

// Wish I could take this coat home, but unfortunately it was way too big (I tucked the excess fabric away behind my arms lol)

Happy New Year!

I know it's already January 5th, but better late then never right? My NYE was everything I wanted it to be; very good food, laughter, friends, champagne, dancing, a new year's kiss and... I took a dive in the ocean on January the 1st! It wasn't that cold, but I was so glad to be out that water and jump into a hot shower.

What did you do on nye?

Current cravings

I haven't been shopping lately, but winter's coming so I'd better buy myself some items to prepare myself for winter. I found this cute bracelet on ShopBelina, isn't it pretty? I wish I could out everything they have in their shop in my basket, but hey... my apartment has to be decorated.

The boots on the other hand, are already on their way to me as we speak. I have to keep my feet warm, right ;)

Suede-ish leggings // Forever21

The Blonde Side of Life 2 .0

So, after being gone for what, like 3 months, I am now back!

In between moving, working on the new apartment, a new job and vacation I realized I was too busy for my blog. To be honest, I wasn’t too busy, but I just didn’t see it as a priority anymore, I didn’t enjoy working on my blog anymore. The fact that I don’t have a regular photographer also helped with that.

Let me put it this way; the self-timer on my camera wasn’t my best friend anymore. I knew I had to focus on other things and when time would pass by, I was going to miss writing on my blog eventually.

And that happened indeed. I started to miss my blog, but what I didn’t miss was trying to come up with impossible ways to put my outfit on camera. Like stopping in the middle of a park to put my camera on the back of my bike on self-timer. Hello… insane!  That’s when I decided to take TheBlondeSideofLife to a whole different level. It’s not going to be just about fashion anymore. From now on you’re going to read about practically anything. I mean, when are 140 signs on Twitter ever enough to say everything you want to say?

Ps; Oh, and one more thing. Please don’t start to panic when I haven’t wrote a blog for 4 days, I promise I won’t stay away as long as I did now ;)!


Ps 2: What do you think about the new lay-out?
