Clinique-Chubbystick-2

Chubbylicious

May 22, 2013 by Ruth

I sometimes feel like a huge sponge that absorbs all kinds of information. My make-up guru Sabine Peeters told me a week ago to focus less on my eyes and more on my lips. This resulted in the fact that I got myself into a Clinique’s Chubby Stick addiction. The Chubby Sticks are a truly handy invention if you ask me… It’s a slightly glossy lipbalm in the shape of a thick pencil that contains many nourishing extracts such as shea and […]

Merry Discovery: Cathleen Naundorf

May 20, 2013 by Nathalie

I want to introduce you to one of the hidden treasures on my book shelf: Haute Couture, The Polaroids of Cathleen Naundorf. Fashion photography is what puts the magic in fashion, creating an own merry world. I got this book as a birthday gift from my boyfriend last year and I’ve been flipping through it whenever I need to escape this world or feel in need of creative inspiration. Cathleen Naundorf is a French/German fashion photographer who has created her […]

Can’t repeat the past?…Why of course you can!

May 18, 2013 by Nathalie

The Great Gatsby, by Baz Luhrmann. A film I’ve been looking forward too for ages. It’s finally here and it’s everything I expected it to be. No one could have done a better job on turning F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece into a film. Baz is the emperor of magic, drama and love! He’s also the first who succeeded in using the 3D effects in the right way for me. And then there’s Leo, transporting me back to my teenage days, […]

In the safe hands of Sabine Peeters

May 15, 2013 by Ruth

After a loooong night in Culture Club we woke up with bags under our eyes and a stamp on our right cheeks. At a certain age you just can’t go partying without looking like a hamster in its winter sleep the day after. But we would do anything to celebrate our dearest Sabine’s birthday! Thank God the b-day girl especially got out of bed to resuscitate us before the Manufactuur shoot… For those who don’t know Sabine, she’s a well-known and […]

Girls in town: Renée Van Soom

May 10, 2013 by Ruth

It’s time to present to you one of the persons I love most in this world, my baby sister Renée. When I was about 3,5 years old this great gift came to me thanks to my parents and I never stopped caring about her ever since. Sharing the same bloodline brings along an indissoluble bond. You can fight and make it up after one hour without thinking about it again, you can be yourself in a most complete way…it’s an […]

May 9, 2013 by Nathalie

Yes, it’s been a while since I dived into someone’s closet, but I saved up for a good one! Let me introduce you to Anne Van Assche, one of the sisters behind the blog and pop-up webshop Baroness O. She’s a furniture designer, going nuts for all things conceptual and design, oh and because you can never be satisfied once the design bug bites you, she’s currently learning how to make shoes (where can I place my order)! Got your […]

Tule fuel!

May 8, 2013 by Nathalie

Pictures: Pinterest I’ve been dreaming of a big ball of tule, to give me fuel. Energy and oxygen in the most girly way imaginable. You can’t but feel happy when wearing a tule skirt. Still looking for my perfect version, subtle but bold, nothing clownish, all about style… Hope to meet you soon. xoxo Nathalie Don’t forget to vote for The Merrymakers in the Weekend Blog Awards:

Lost in the woods

May 7, 2013 by Ruth

So old is the wood, so old, Old as Fear. Wrinkled roots; great stems; hushed leaves; No sound near. Shadows retreat into shadow, Deepening, crossed. Burning light singles a low leaf, a bough, Far within, lost. (Laurence Binyon) Wearing: trousers – Dries Van Noten, sweater – H&M, belt – Cheap Monday, shoes – AF Vandevorst With very very special thanks to Lynn Van Den Broeck Don’t forget to vote on us for the Weekend Knack Blogawards
