Housewife.

In my role of 'perfect housewife' :-), which, to be real honest, I'm appreciating more every day, I plan on going to the market for fresh fruits & vegetables. The aim is once a week, if I can fit it into my busy schedule. And I wouldn't be me if I hadn't already stumbled across the perfect bag to put  the groceries in...

These canvas shopping bags come in different sizes and have a matching pochette:

Perfect ...

Running gear...

Mens sana in corpore sano

 That's the main reason I run; that it keeps me thin is a nice bonus... ;-)

But I was thinking, why not:

Corpore sano in designer gear ?

Everything by Stella McCartney for Adidas.

Tulip season has arrived ...

... and my favourite flowers will bring early spring into my house from now untill they are no longer available!

Black & white outfit

Managed to find 1 item in sales I liked: white pencil skirt with black waistband:

H&M 10€(!)

An always perfect match is with a black button up shirt and black pumps.

And to give it more of an edge, I'd wear with my skull scarf and black perfecto:

Project 1 for 2012:  put together Juliette's blanket.

Her grandmother and great-grandmother started knitting al the little pieces (143!!) over a year ago (thank u!) and they have been sitting in a big box for over 6 months, but we haven't had the time to put them together. But we're getting started today. I wonder how long it's going to take?

Result will be published!

Outfit of the week.

'Feeling shiny & happy' - outfit:

Skirt: Zara, sweater: Cos

Beauty essentials

I've never used make-up before (except for mascara), but since I've given up the tanning salon (bad for skin & wrinkles), I was looking for something to even the skintone and make the skin look fresh and vibrant on bad skindays. 

And now I've found it: Bare Minerals:  foundation, mineral veil and warmth. Looks great & natural, feels great aswell.

Only one problem: no stores in Belgium, nearest in the Netherlands or France (Sephora). I've bought my starter kit in London.
But no worries, another good reason for having to go on a citytrip! :-)

Happy Newyear!

Have a great year...
