A beautiful image to start a new week! Have a good one you all.
FIVE THINGS I LIKE
I am a sucker for pretty things. Beautiful pictures, cute animals, shiny jewelry, fluffy and soft fabrics, new clever products, amazing interiors and so on. Every day I collect some new things I really like and was thinking… “why not sharing them?” Maybe my current favorite things can become one of the things you like as well.
Starting today with my first five current favorite things:
1. Current favorite outfit for fall. Oversized sweater, huge scarf and a big Louis Vuitton (I wish!) shopper. Oh and I love the hair tucked in the scarf thing. It’s all about the details.
2. Spicy Chocolate Stout Cake with a Simple Peanut Butter Buttercream. Oh my… definitely need to try this recipe as soon as possible! Think the boyfriend wouldn’t mind either ;-)
3. Found this amazingly beautiful wooden floor via Holly Beckers Pinterest.
4. Chalkboard kitchen walls rock! Period.
5. Time to change my signature high bun into a half bun? What do you think?

Love from Suriname
I’m enjoying a few sunny and very hot weeks in Suriname. My mothers home country. Spending our days with family, discovering special places and eating all day long…
See you soon in chilly Holland!

FASHION FAVORITE: TEDDY FOR FALL
It’s been a while since my last posts but in the meantime I graduated, enjoyed what we call summer here in Holland and spend some quality time with the boyfriend, family and close friends. After all the summer festivals and graduation parties it is now time for some serious fall preparations.
To me it all seems very clear that I need an update and especially a fluffy and comfy one. My ultimate favorite item for fall would be the teddy jacket or cardigan! It looks comfy, cosy and chique at the same time and I love the texture and its appearance. It looks amazing with leather and though boots, but I wouldn’t mind wearing one with a silk dress either. So ladies, lets find ourselves the perfect teddy for fall! Oh and I prefer the beige version as you may have guessed ;-)

Creative working spaces
The last month or so I’ve spend a lot of time working from home. I kinda like it this way, but since we don’t have a separate study room, I”m switching between my boyfriends desk, the dining table and the couch (not the most responsible posture) because the same view every day makes me a little bit bored… This whole working from home thing has made me think of creating a small working space of my own. I would like to call it a creative hideaway. And that’s where my best friend Pinterest comes in handy.
After saving all my favorite working spaces I can say that I’m in special need of a wall where I can pin, hang or stick prints, photos and post-its (light bulb!) on. I wish that one day I will be the proud owner of my own creative hideaway with lots of natural light (which means big windows!) a big, rustic wooden table with a mix of different chairs around it. And, of course, a big empty wall to start building a huge moodboard.
What would your ultimate working space look like? Or what is the number one thing you need in that study area? I would love to hear your ideas!
