Unless you’ve spent the last year on a deserted island, you must have realized by now that nail art is hot and happening. I admit, I wasn’t a fan at first and I’m still not into applying nail art to all ten nails at the same time, but I love a subtle accent here and…

theoria x komma in de lucht
I’m not sure if many of you know this, but I spent most of my college years in Kortrijk. It’s also where I met my husband and got my college degree, so only good memories are in order here.
Read Morea sparkling dinner
It continues to sparkle here on coineanach.org. I already told you about Antwerp diamond fashion brand Diamanti Per Tutti back in December when I visited their pop-up store and spoiled myself with an early Christmas gift. A couple of weeks ago a sparkling invite landed in my mailbox which led to me attending a dinner…
Read MoreEstée Lauder x It-Girl fashion lunch at The Hotel, Brussels
Somewhere in the summer of 2013 (on a totally unrelated note: seems like ages ago!) the lovely Kim of leading Belgian blog It-Girl hosted a give-away in collaboration with the people of Estée Lauder and The Hotel in Brussels. They were looking for a test panel of four women who would use the newly launched…
Read Moretrek factory racing team presentation
On Friday night I attended the official launch of the new Trek Factory Racing team.

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…
Read Morebirth day
If you don’t have any plans for this week or next weekend yet, then you might be in for a last-minute visit to the Birth Day exhibition in Brussels, which I visited last month. Before you head over there, I provide you with a little background info to the project (you can thank me later…
Read Morediamanti per tutti pop-up
Over the weekend, I finally got the chance to experience the beauty that is Diamanti per Tutti, the Antwerp-based diamond fashion brand. I remember them starting out not that long ago and have come to appreciate them over time. When I learned they would be popping up in Antwerp this December, I was in for…
