LIFE | all good things

.. can be replaced by even better (or other good) things!

My dearest readers,

Because of my internship and my other journalistic commitments, I won't have enough blogging-time left. And blogging - journalism seams like a rather hard combo to make after all. So this is where I leave you all, but it's no goodbye: see you in Belgian media everyone, stay on the lookout for my name line!

To be continued ..

(follow my journey on twitter, if you're interested. Or still follow my journey on twitter, if you're not x))

LIFE | journalist

Finally the pedal point of my year has arrived, my internship at Veerle Windels' office. Veerle is a celebrated fashion journalist in Belgium - where I live, so I'm beyond excited to be granted a peek into her professional life. As I see this internship as a stepping stone to my career, there was no doubt about me needing some business cards. I don't have a portfolio website yet, so the cards are 'incomplete'. That's why I opted for a minimal design for now, until I have more of a 'house style'.

What do you guys think?

Birkin look-a-like: leather shop in Rome | Coat, cardigan and tunic: Zara | Camo skinnies: Topshop Tall | Trainers: Converse | Random scarf 

(Haha, sorry for the plastic bag on the ground in the second pic - at least it is green x))

Needed to shoot pics on this bizarre location. The graffiti < > the trees, grass and little flowers was just too amazing. Sadly the light wasn't equally great, leaving me with dull grey'ish snaps. But hey, you get the thought ;) ..

NEW IN | vans & personalised coke

Trainers: Vans | Random flower headband | Coke 

After hours of longboarding in new summery Vans (best shoe fot boarding I came across so far!) nothing tastes better than a personalised (!) can of frizz :)

LIFE | when in rome #3

Ph. by Kim & I (sounds like a cheesy movie, right?)

Welcome on day 4 of my Rome-trip (I promise we're almost through x)). This was the only sunny day we had, so the boyfriend and I didn't do much but enjoying ourselves and spraining our necks while staring at the Pantheon's oculus (awesome light on a sunny day - though I heard the Pantheon is quite majestic with the rain pouring through the roof as well).

These images of the trattoria where we ate the best breakfast ever, views from the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon, tiny cars, funny notes, cosy streets and awesome staircases are all pretty self explanatory, so I just leave you with this.

Oh, and go eat some ice cream (gelato, to keep the Italian vibe), the weather is great!

LOOK | trevi-tastic

Jeans, denim shirt and necklace: H&M | Jacket: Zara | Bag: Pimkie | Watch: Casio | Spikey hair comb: Asos | Random longsleeve & boots

This is the outfit I crossed the city in on our second full day we were in Rome. That day we went to visit the Fontana di Trevi (yep, these aren't just any rocks!), Vatican City and Castel Sant' Angelo. You can find pictures of that day right here.

LIFE | when in rome #2

Ph. by Laura, Lieze, Kim & me

These are a few impressions of my Rome-trip. Pictures here are taken the first two entire days I was there (images of the evening I arrived can you find in this post).

So, here goes ..

1, 2, 3, 11 & 12: Rome streets and cars - absolute love (sick parking skills come with the tiny cars, I'm sure)
4: Fresh artichokes in a street
5 & 6: My little sister and I on Capitole Hill
7, 8 & 9: Awesome details
10: Circus Maximus, or what is left of it, a big empty jog-walhalla
13: Romelus & Remus (mythical founders of Rome)
14 & 15: Souvenir, anyone?
16: Boyfriend's outfit details
17: Rome's subway net is quite clear and very deep underground (to not disturb the archaeology I guess). So we used it, a lot (the busses are great as well!)
18, 19 & 20: Amphitheatrum Flavium a.k.a. the Colosseum
21 & 22: Arch of Septimus Severus at Forum Romanum
23 - 28: Vatican City & St. Peter's
29-31: Nature in the city, it's spring all right!
32-36: Castel Sant' Angelo & Tiber river
37-40: Street views around Castel Sant' Angelo
41: This little heart I discovered in the pavement of the Piazza del Popolo describes my trip so well ;)

I still have some Rome looks and two days of 'touristism' in store for you - sorry for picture and Rome overload, but what to do with travel-happiness if you can't share it, right? x)
