FLYING: Aalborg

Jacket: H&M, Blazer: H&M, Shorts: H&M, T-shirt: H&M, Boots: Newlook

A year has literally flown by and this was my very first time in Aalborg. So there are still new places to discover while working for an european airline! :)

It's funny that somehow you notice yourself flying a lot to (for example) Marseille, and months can go by without going to Germany at all. I don't know how scheduling does it, but someway, somehow, you visit one place more than the other. It doesn't really matter, -almost- everything is nice.

I wasn't particularly exited when I saw Aalborg on my roster. Other colleagues were complaining about it. There isn't much to do and they didn't like the hotel. But when I was there last week, we just got a new hotel, and the sun was shining. I actually really liked this Danish city! You can chill at the riverside (which I did) or just stroll around the citycenter with all the shops and the restaurants. We had a lovely dinner at a 'all you can eat' thai restaurant (or actually a wok restaurant), which was really good!

I'm looking forward to my next time in Aalborg!

Outfit of the day, Amsterdam

Pants: Mango, Basic T-shirt: Primark, Blazer: H&M, Ballerina Flats: Primark, Necklace: DIY

A lovely day to stroll around in Amsterdam. The sun was shining, the temperature was above 15* celcius and the skies were clear. I went out for some beads shopping. Nowadays, I'm all into DIY'ing and stuff. And Amsterdam is the perfect place to buy beads and the equipment to make jewerly. I will show you more of my DIY projects soon!

I'm enjoying this beautiful weather to the MAX! I love to go outside, cycle or walk around with my face in the sun (ofcourse with some SPF!). Amsterdam is a beautiful place, and I live closeby! It's about 15 minutes by train to get into the citycenter, perfect, isn't it?

Chilling at the canalside or maybe enjoying the view from a boat, which I've done last year. I can't wait till the summer!

RECEPT: Bruchetta

Just a lovely little nibble or perfect as a starter on a bright and sunny day: bruchetta. I swear by this recipe, so I wanted to share it with you.


What do you need (4 bruchetta's)
- 4 Tomatoes
- Mozarella Cheese
- Garlic
- Olive Oil (extra vergine)
- Basil
- Bread

First of all you toast the bread. In the mean time, you slice the tomatoes and mozarella in nice, thin pieces.

When the bread is ready and nicely toasted, cut the garlic in two pieces and rub the open and on the bread (when the bread is still warm, it's really easy to do, the garlic will 'melt')

Drop a view bits of olive oil over the breads and put the tomato and mozarella slices on it. Finish it with some fresh basil and some seasalt and pepper.

All done, hope you like it!
Bon appetit!

Outfit of the day, Haarlem

Pants: Berhska, Top: Primark, Blazer: Only, Boots: Newlook, Scarf: Pieces

Spring time + rising temperatures + sunshine = soft colors!

Just a comfortable outfit to stroll around in Haarlem, enjoying the most beautiful time of the year: spring!

I'm going to Vienna tonight. It's a extremely short stop: arriving around 7PM and the next morning my alarm will go off at 4AM! That's not so nice, but someone's got to do it!

And besides that, I do have some trips to look forward to: Bristol, Brussels and Cologne!

Home sweet Haarlem

A week ago, on my days off, I went to my 'old' hometown Haarlem. I recently moved back to my mum's house, located in a small village just above Amsterdam. But I do miss Haarlem. Thank Gracious Goodness that my boyfriend lives there, so I still have a good reason to go there :) Besides that, my bike is still at his place, and I love to cycle around town and/or go to the beach.

The temperatures are rising and my green-minded boyfriend is making a vegetable garden on his rooftop. I helped him making the stairs, so we don't need to climb anymore. We cycled around, thinking about our upcomming holiday and making plans. We'll be going to Paris in two weeks, I can't wait, it's like a dream coming true! Besides that, we have three weeks to spend together during the summer, so we are thinking about a destination. I have only traveled within europe, so it will be my very first time. I would love to go to Thailand and my boyfriend loves to visit Brazil. What do you think? Have you been there before?

P.S.
I'll show you my outfit of the day tomorrow!

FLYING: Bordeaux

Goodmorning dear readers!

And while your workweek is starting, mine actually ended. I just came back from a 4 day trip and this is my first day off.

It has been a while since my last post, and again I do apologize for that. I've been busy flying around, taking photographs for the blog and making my own jewelry. So lots of things comming up, I can't wait to show you!

So let's go back to this post: Bordeaux. I don't mind nightstopping in France, I love all our destinations. But Bordeaux is such a beautiful city. And unfortunately, I still haven't seen it all. Mostly because my nightstops were too short to discover the city, which is a shame. A whole year passed by and the only thing I discovered is the main square and the church. So next time, I will definitely go out!

And I just wanted to show you some pictures. Unfortunately without a nice story to tell. Just look at them, relax and imagine yourself drinking a lovely bordeaux at a sunny day in this beautiful french city.

A floral touch

Floral pants: H&M, Blouse: Thrifted, Blazer: Thrifted, Faux leather jacket: H&M (secondhand), Ballerina flats: Primark

I love the fact that I was finally able to wear a complete spring outfit. And you guys would not believe the total price of this outfit! The pants were 14 euro, the blouse was 2 euro, the blazer was 4 euro, the faux fur jacket was 20 euro and the ballerina flats were 5 euro. Can you believe it?

As I already mentioned in my previous post, I loved my time in Aix en Provence. I'm at home right now and will start a new 4 day trip tomorrow. Upcomming plans? Bremen, Bristol and Aalborg. Any tips?

Spring in Aix en Provence

It makes me smile when I see a nightstop in Marseille on my roster. We actually don't spend the night in Marseille, but in Aix en Provence. A small village just outside Marseille.

It was a year ago when I went to Aix for the first time. It was a very special nightstop, it was not only my first nightstop as a qualified cabin attendant, it was also the place where I met my boyfriend. We had a tea in a little cafe and he showed me the city. So when I think of Aix, I think of good memories, and new memories to make!

The thing I love the most about Aix is probably the weather and the french 'vibe'. The city itself is quite old and medieval. I usually spend my day in one of the restaurants at La Rotonde (the big roundabout in Aix), enjoying a good wine and a lovely lunch/dinner.

And if you love to stroll around the streets, try to look and count the fountians! Aix is known for it's 'healing' water and that's why there are so many fountains!

From 'La Rotonde' you can walk to cours Mirabeau, which is actually a long boulevard bordered with symmetrical plane-trees and with dozens of cool cafe's, restaurants and bars flanking it. Walk the whole length and you go from the old part of the city to the new part.

If you like shopping, Aix has also quite a lot to offer: the well known brands like Levi's, Zara, Mango, H&M and some little boutiques. I love to go to 'L'Occitane', which is a brand from the provence selling soap, cremes and other goodies. When you like to go out during the night, go to club 'Le Mistral', for some good music and lovely cocktails.

When you're NOT hold back by a tight budget, you should definitely go to Le Clos de la Violette, which has an awesome reputation. And when you're up for some fresh veggies, visit the local farmers market at 'Marché Place Richelme'.

In Aix en Provence, I usually follow a strict regimen of food, walk, coffee and pastries, walk, wine, walk. And repeat it as necessary for the upcomming visits.
