Super easy recipe to make this weekend for brunch or as an appetizer when having friends over...

 What you need;
-Rainbow colored cherry tomatoes
-Soft goat cheese
-Puff pastery
-Herbs like oregano and black pepper
-Olive oil

1. Half tomatoes

2. Spread the goat cheese in the middle of the puff pastry and lay halved tomatoes on top

3. Pinch together ends of the pastry season and brush some olive oil over top

4. Pop in the oven for +/-15 mins or until golden brown; oven on 180*C

 Drizzle good quality caramelized balsamic vinegar over (mine is from carmensaustraliankitchen.nl), top off with a basil leave, 
Et voila!

DIY Striped Joggers

As you have seen in yesterdays post, I have been rocking some jogger pants as well. They are super comfy and can be super chic too. Now you will find them in all sorts of prints, designs and details. I got crafty and DIYed a pair myself! Check below how to...

Easy Peasy DIY!

What you need;

-Jogger pants (mine is from H&M)
-Fabric glue
-Ribbon of choice (Check a fabric of crafts store)

-Fold and staple news paper in length and place in pants
-Zig zag the fabric glue down the side seam
-Glue the ribbon and let dry for a few hours

Et Voila! your very own DIY striped joggers!

Joggers & Peplums

One piece I recently discovered that I love to wear are these jogging pants. They are super comfortable and since you would usually wear them with running shoes and a sports bra, I though of giving them a chic look with a pair of heels and a feminine peplum.

No one said fashion can't be comfortable :)

Minty Aztec Chips

As the days get longer and the hope for actual spring is coming closer, I decided to wear an open woven knit giving enough coverage and warmth in these yet cold days. However the  pastel-y color is so spring, because we are so ready for it! 

Come on over spring!

Fashion Trend; Shark Infested Fashion

Sharks have been popping up on my fashion radar lately and I'm loving it! I love watching shark week on discovery, hearing about those shark attack survivor stories and who can't remember the movie jaws?? One thing you might not have known about me; I'm afraid of the ocean. There is something mysterious about it and you never know what could pop up from underneath you!

So I like to keep things where I can see them... Sharks belong on shirts!

Lace and Gingham

Happy Tuesday!

Hope you hd a good easter weekend. For easter brunch I paired gingham and lace, a good romance between spring and easter, if only it where true on the spring part...

However, slowly but surely temperatures are rising, the sun is out more often and the little spring flowers start to bloom!

Happy Easter Inspirations

 Easter is an excuse to eat, eat and eat some more.... for me it is really about spending time with family and friends (while eating). Last year we hosted 2 brunches (first and second day of easter) the year before that we had a lovely easter picnic in the park, this year we will probably end up brunching inside since it is still cold out! 

What will you be doing this easter?

Below I share some inspiration for an easter brunch!

1. Make fresh fruit mini pavlovas

2. Wrap your sandwiches nicely for a picnic

3. Serve fruit infused water

 4. Serve koffie in jars and have tulips (very Dutch, very spring)

5. Simply glue on sequins for chic egg decorations

 6. Have brunch outside (if the weather permits)

7. Chalkboard eggs for some fun interaction and craftiness 

 8. Bake with easter candies

9. Tie fresh herbs or flowers to an egg for a fresh original centerpiece

 10. Hide a sweet message in an egg for your loved ones

11. Use fresh fruit and pastel colored flowers for center piece

12. present your flowers in halved and decorated eggs in a egg carton

I hope you get to spend your easter with family or friends!

Happy easter!
