On Friday night I attended the official launch of the new Trek Factory Racing team. About 1200 fans, sponsors, Trek retailers and members of the press were in attendance at the special event held at the indoor velodrome in Roubaix. I think it comes as no surprise that they chose this location for their team…

This past Sunday marked the first anniversary of little Akira joining our family. I’m surprised about how fond I grew of this little guy/girl (yes, we still have to determine the sex of our lovebird ;)). To mark this anniversary, I selected my favorite photos of this past year.
Read MoreAndy Warhol – Life, Death and Beauty
Yesterday I managed to sneak in a visit to the Andy Warhol exhibition, Life, Death and Beauty, at the recently renovated BAM in Mons. I thought I knew all there is to know about his work (like most of us do, I presume), but I was surprised to learn that there is much more to…
Read Morejar of happiness
I admit, I’m really good at starting new projects. However, persevering is another story. I did manage to make an exception this past year for my jar of happiness project. Throughout the year, the items in the jar kept on piling up, I was afraid it wouldn’t last until the end of the year, but…

‘Tis the season of pop-up shops, that I can tell you. I have one more to write about this week, but first let me talk to you about my visit to The Plantshop this weekend. I wrote about it before, where I almost couldn’t contain my excitement, so imagine what happened when I actually set…

I don’t know when my love for headwear exactly started, but it was many, many years ago. Nowadays, I purchase at least one new hat or beanie every season. Oh yes, a straw fedora hat might just be one of my favorite items in my summer closet. A lot of people seem a bit shy…
Read Morethe rainbow bridge
Our beloved Hiro left for the rainbow bridge this past Wednesday. I don’t understand how fate can be this cruel to us. He is the third bunny I have had to say goodbye to in a mere five years and it hurts, so much. For the first time in years I was looking forward to…
