BYREDO “BAUDELAIRE” It’s no secret that I am a huge fan … Read More
What I’ll be packing for Provence
Since a close friend of my family has just moved back to her native Provence in the South of France to open a B&B in a historic building, I will be visiting her together with my family next month – in order to help her with the renovations, to enjoy some sunshine and to relax by the … Read More
Travel Diary: Hostal Spa Empúries
After our stay at the beautiful “Les Hamaques” we wanted to spend a few days in a beach hotel before heading to Barcelona for the weekend. We picked “Hostal Spa Empuries“, which is only a few minutes drive from “Les Hamaques”. I loved the modern design of the hotel – with two beachfront restaurants, a beach … Read More
Travel Diary: Les Hamaques and Catalonia
What comes to your mind when you hear the words “holiday in Spain”? Mallorca? Ibiza? Barcelona, maybe? I recently visited Catalonia and the Costa Brava – and I found beautiful, peaceful countryside, picturesque medieval villages, and small bays with beaches and turquoise water, which were not crowded at all.

The New Friendship Bracelets
I’m loving the trend of playful, colourful and somewhat childish jewellery which is currently becoming more and more popular: rainbow beads, mixed with pearls, humorous pendants, shells and letters, … creating a homemade DIY-look but elevated by precious materials. … Just don’t take it too seriously and have fun with it. Maybe even design and … Read More
