Last weekend, just before almost all European countries went into lockdown, my boyfriend and I headed for beautiful Paris to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Although most sightseeing spots had already closed because of the Coronavirus threat (luckily we already visited most of them in the past), the streets were way more empty than usual and we were constantly keeping an eye on the news we've had an amazing weekend anyway in one of my all time favourite cities. The sun was shining the entire weekend, we've had some great food and ice cream and the city gave us a lot of happy spring vibes. This time we've had the pleasure to stay a few nights at the Citizen M Paris Gare the Lyon hotel - which was such a good choice. Let's tell you some more about our stay and experience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
When we first arrived at the hotel the self check-in was really easy and literally took us about two minutes, which was absolutely great since we were very tired after the long car drive from our home in the Netherlands. Our room was not that big, but had everything we needed like a big comfortable bed and relaxed rain shower. One of my favourite features of the hotel was actually the extensive breakfast buffet choice - loved it! To be honest, breakfast is almost always my favourite part of hotel stays, but the Citizen M breakfast really got it all: famous French baguettes and other types of delicious bread, freshly baked croissants and pastries, smoked salmon, all kinds of cheeses, fresh juices and fruits like blueberries and pineapple, scrambled egg and so on. All so good! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Regarding the Coronavirus threat the hotel also took a lot of special measures, like cleaning more often, make sure that guests keep their distance of each other and offering disinfecting hand gel all over the hotel so that we had the opportunity to clean our hands more often. When the French authorities decided to shut down all restaurants and cafes from 11 PM on Saturday night (which caused a bit of stress among most hotel guests) the staff was super helpful and presented us with some useful recommendations about what to do. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Anyway, we've had the best time in Paris partly thanks to the super friendly, helpful staff and comfort of Citizen M Paris Gare the Lyon. Even more fun: Citizen M has got hotels in cities all over the world so I'm sure we will visit one of them again anytime soon! </div>

Ever since I got my dark grey IKEA Söderhamn sofa a few years ago I've been wanting to upgrade its colour. I mean I really liked the Scandinavian design of the sofa, but its colour was just too dark. When it comes to interior styling I'm really picky and therefore it was, unfortunately, no surprise I couldn't find the sofa cover of my dreams in IKEA's Söderhamn cover collection itself. So when I heard about and explored the cover collection of <a href="https://bemz.com/" target="_blank">Bemz Design</a> my heart made a little jump of happiness. So many beautiful fabrics and colours to choose from, it was so extremely hard to make a final choice out of their extensive collection!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Before showing you the big make-over, let's tell you a bit about Bemz Design first. Bemz is a fashion-forward design company that creates custom sewn design covers in hundreds of high end fabrics, so that you can transform your IKEA sofa, armchairs, chairs and more - so you can completely adjust it to your own interior and personal style. This way you're able to retain your piece of furniture even if the original fabric is damaged or no longer suits your taste. All covers are made to order and machine washable. Besides this Bemz strives to create and innovate responsibly and conscientiously - with respect for the planet and with little waste. With this commitment to sustainability it is their goal to create a unique look for your home that you can also feel good about - in my opinion an extra reason to get your IKEA sofa covers at Bemz instead of other fabric companies. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, more about my little sofa makeover party and the first step of choosing a new sofa cover at Bemz: making a small selection of <a href="https://bemz.com/our-fabrics" target="_blank">fabric samples</a>. To help you reduce your stress in making a good choice Bemz offers up to five free fabric samples which they'll send to your home address - so you can see what your favourite fabrics and colours look like in real life. This was so perfect because this way I could actually compare them and decide which one did fit best into my interior. After many nights of overthinking and changing my mind (I can be such a doubter when it comes to interior choices) I ended up going for two beautiful Bemz covers in the colours: <a href="https://bemz.com/products/SWA1-S150" target="_blank">Belgian Linen - Absolute White</a> and <a href="https://bemz.com/products/SWA1-SV104" target="_blank">Simply Velvet - Sand Beige</a>. See and read more about these beautiful, high-quality fabrics below. But up first: a photo of what my (a bit boring) Söderhamn sofa looked like before the make-over..</div>

Because you can find white sofa's all over my Pinterest inspiration boards my first choice and look had to be a white sofa cover. Bemz has so many different kinds of white tones and fabrics to offer (from cotton to velvet to linen etc.), but I ended up with <a href="https://bemz.com/products/SWA1-S150" target="_blank">Belgian Linen - Absolute White</a> for my <a href="https://bemz.com/ikea-series/soderhamn" target="_blank">Söderhamn sofa</a>. A choice that I cannot be happier with because it really gives my interior that bit of extra and the quality of the fabric looks so good. After having a lot of struggles with removing the old sofa cover (it's really not that hard, believe me, I'm just not such an IKEA diy talent) and putting on the new one the result was finally there. And guess what? It looked even better than I imagined - so gorgeous and effortlessly white! Though the next challenge will probably be to keep it all white and clean. To keep the monochrome look alive I finished the look with some black <a href="https://bemz.com/accessories/furniture-legs" target="_blank">wooden legs</a>, which you can order at Bemz as well. And great news: they are incredibly easy to replace, it will probably take you less than 5 minutes. </div>

The second sofa look I went for had to be something different, but at the same time something just as gorgeous and effortless as the first look. After a lot of doubting I ended up with a cover fabric named <a href="https://bemz.com/products/SWA1-SV104" target="_blank">Simply Velvet - Sand Beige</a>: a beautiful, timeless, high-quality velvet fabric which is really soft and giving you all the cosy feelings. This time I finished it with some wood-coloured <a href="https://bemz.com/accessories/furniture-legs" target="_blank">furniture legs</a>, for a more natural look and feel. Still haven't figured out yet which look to be my favourite but I think the white linen look is absolutely perfect for spring/summer time, while the softness of the velvet look serves its best purpose during autumn/winter season. What do you think? </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, based on my own experience with Bemz and their excellent service I would really recommend you to take a look at their cover collection in case you're tired of your IKEA sofa or chair. Why not give it a complete, high-quality make-over instead of spending a lot of money on new furniture? That would be such a waste, while a brand new cover can do miracles and transform your sofa into a real designer piece - based on your personal style and preferences. </div>

Last weekend my boyfriend took me on a surprise birthday weekend to Berlin. Although it was realllllly cold and sometimes a bit stormy and rainy we've had such a blast anyway - eating lots of sushi, having brunch for hours, drinking my favourite cocktails and exploring our beloved city a bit more. During trips like these big warm winter coats are definitely a life saver - especially when you're always cold (like me). I felt a bit like a breakfast burrito all wrapped up in this cosy <a href="https://www.otto.nl/damesmode/jassen/" target="_blank">coat</a>, but staying warm while its actually freezing outside is worth everything. Plus warm and cosy winter coats are my biggest addiction I have to admit. When I bring home a new coat my boyfriend mostly laughs and says: don't you already have like a hundred coats or something? But girls: I think you can never have enough cosy coats. Next on my wishlist: this cool <a href="https://www.otto.nl/p/995876580/selected-femme-gewatteerde-jas/#?c=dames-kleding-jassen&itemId=995876585" target="_blank">orange puffer jacket</a> and classic <a href="https://www.otto.nl/p/961099279/selected-femme-tussen-lange-jas/#?c=dames-kleding-jassen&itemId=967724704" target="_blank">wool check coat</a> from <i><a href="https://www.otto.nl/merken/selected-femme/" target="_blank">selected femme</a></i>.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #262626;">Day dreaming and brainstorming about the perfect interior, performing make-overs and creating new corners have always been among my favourite things to do in life. I can search and scroll for new ideas on in particular Pinterest for hours and hours, constantly adding new pictures to my dream house inspiration boards – I guess you can say I’m a bit addicted. So when Sofacompany asked me this spring if I was interested in making my home fashion proof with a brand new sofa from their 2019 spring collection, my immediate response was: hell yes, let’s do this!</span><span style="color: #262626;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #262626;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: inherit;">Sofacompany was founded by the Danish Cathrine and Christian Rudolph. It was their goal to challenge the existing, quite conservative furniture industry by creating beautiful furniture of high quality and with honest </span><span style="color: #262626;">low prices all year round. They did so by performing a simple and unique business concept with sales exclusively online, and by cutting away all middlemen by handling all stages of the process of creating a sofa on their own. The most important thought behind this is that everybody should be able to afford great furniture design of high quality materials, which appeals to me a lot. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #262626;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #262626;">Let me tell you a bit about the inspiration behind their 2019 spring collection first. The collection is meant to add a couture vibe to your interior by using materials such as corduroy and </span></span><span style="color: #262626;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38);">chenille, combined with deep colours and patterns. Another big inspiration was the African continent: think of tribal prints, dusty earth and warm colours. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: inherit;">Because I can be really picky when it comes to interior items (and clothing, and shoes, bags and so on) it turned out to be quite a task to select my favourite sofa when browsing their webshop. First, I planned a visit to the Sofacompany showroom in Amsterdam in order to get inspired and to see their newest spring collection items and fabrics in real life. This visit turned out to be super successful since I instantly fell in love with the Ellis sofa (check it out </span><u style="color: #262626; font-family: inherit;"><i><a href="https://nl.sofacompany.com/search/?q=ellis" target="_blank">here</a></i></u><span style="color: #262626; font-family: inherit;">), which is modular and therefore super diverse. The Ellis sofa originally comes in the colours Danny Amber or Agnes Brown, but like with every Sofacompany sofa there is the possibility to design your own and pick your own fabric/colours/materials. The only disadvantage of making your own design is that it takes 10-12 weeks before you'll receive your newly designed sofa at home, while the delivery of basic collection items and colours only takes 1-2 weeks. Despite this I figured the waiting time to be totally worth it, because of the unique result. </span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: inherit;">Because I was eying on a dark blue sofa for quite some time I therefore decided to design my own and ordered an Ellis modular sofa part without armrests in the colour Vega Dusty Blue. And now all that was left to do was patiently waiting till it finally arrived..</span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: inherit;">Since I was super excited about seeing the final result in real life, being patient about the 10-12 weeks waiting time was a bit hard for me. When Sofacompany contacted me to make a delivery appointment I couldn't be happier. Though I was bit worried about getting the sofa upstairs, since I live on the second floor and those hours spent in the gym haven't really resulted in big arm muscles. This turned out to be no problem at all: the super friendly delivery guys delivered it upstairs in just the blink of an eye. So there it finally was, now the most fun part was about to begin: redecorating and integrating this new beauty into my interior. </span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: inherit;">The dark blue fabric of my new Ellis sofa turned out to be so beautiful in real life, and looked absolutely perfect in combination with my current interior items. It didn't take much time before I figured my new sofa deserved a special spot in my home: accompanied by my favourite marble side table, tropical strelitzia nicolai plant, moroccan inspired rug and some arty prints. I am so in love with the final result and Scandi vibe I created in my home. What do you think about it? Another big plus: the Ellis does not only look good but its super comfortable as well. I'm still the happiest girl with my unique self-designed sofa!</span><br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: inherit;">So in case you're looking for a great design, high quality and at the same time affordable sofa, Sofacompany is such a great brand. I would strongly recommend their design your own option because of its uniqueness. It is truly worth the wait!</span></div>

This spring my boyfriend and I had the chance to visit the Campania region in Italy, which is well known for places like Capri, Napels and the Amalfi Coast. Italy has always been one of my favourite and most beautiful holiday destinations in Europe, and this trip made me fall in love with the country even more. Cute coloured houses, beautiful coast views, lemon trees all over, stunning heritage, summer vibes and obviously the food (ice cream, seafood and pizza everyday) - life can't get any better right? Because I prefer to give my skin some rest during holidays I had to take some fab sunglasses with me as well to cover up my sleepy no make-up face, especially during early mornings. Besides my all time favourite round metal ray ban sunglasses I also brought a new beauty with me: <a href="https://www.eyewish.nl/zonnebrillen/dames">oversized gucci sunglasses</a>, which I got at <a href="https://www.eyewish.nl/">Eye Wish</a>. An additional advantage of these sunglasses is that they're absolutely perfect for peeking at people passing by without them even noticing, while drinking my daily afternoon aperol spritz on the terrace. Anyway, I've made a small selection out of the tons of photos we took to show you some of my Italian summer looks. Which one do you like te most? </div>

Animal prints are all over the streets this season. Though the leopard print game was already going strong for quite some years now, recently several brands also included tiger prints in their new collections. At first I must say I was a bit sceptical about it, but since I started wearing this tiger print blouse from <a href="https://www.otto.nl/damesmode/blouses/" target="_blank">OTTO</a> I've been a big fan. Doesn't it fit perfectly within the gorgeous streets of Rome?<br />

I've always had a preference for black and white looks because this combination seriously never gets boring. Because about 90 percent of my shoes (and especially boots) is black, it was about time to add a white pair to the collection. Luckily this fashion season features a lot of cool, white boots, which made my hunt so much easier. In the end I stumbled upon these stunning, western inspired ones. I'm in love. Besides combined with classy or printed pantalon trousers they also look really cool when mixed up with a pair of good jeans (in order to get the extra western feel). Howdy cowboy!<br />

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Like you guys probably noticed I’m wearing sunglasses all the time on my photos. On my Instagram (<a href="http://www.instagram.com/annestikvoort" target="_blank">@annestikvoort</a>) it can be quite a hunt to find a photo without me wearing them – it has almost become some kind of signature thing! I will be honest: the reason why I’m wearing sunglasses so often is because I’m too lazy to wear make-up all the time, or because I’m trying to hide my morning face. Taking pictures during early mornings just happens to be the best time for taking photos, especially on beautiful holiday destinations. Around sunrise most tourists are still snoring in their beds and the light during this hour is often so magical (such a win-win situation!). My all time favourite for taking photos is by far my pair of Ray-ban sunglasses (round metal model) which I got from de Bijenkorf. I just love how this one works so well with the shape of my face. However, there will be a slight chance that I will switch my Ray-ban for a cool pair of retro sunglasses this summer – I can already imagine myself touring the Amalfi coast on a Vespa with a vintage-inspired model on my nose in one month! What is your favourite type of sunglasses? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="NL"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Zoals jullie vast wel hebben gemerkt draag ik op foto’s vaak een <a href="https://www.debijenkorf.nl/damesmode/zonnebrillen" target="_blank">zonnebril</a>. Het is op mijn Instagram (<a href="http://www.instagram.com/annestikvoort" target="_blank">@annestikvoort</a>) soms goed zoeken naar een foto zonder - het is ongemerkt bijna mijn handelsmerk geworden! Ik zal eerlijk zijn: de reden hiervoor is dat ik vaak te lui ben om make-up op te doen, of omdat ik mijn morning face wil verbergen. Vroege ochtenden zijn nou eenmaal vaak het beste moment om foto’s te nemen, met name op mooie vakantiebestemmingen. Net na zonsopgang liggen de meeste toeristen nog lekker in hun bedje te snurken en het licht op dit soort tijdstippen is vaak magisch (win-win situatie dus!). Mijn all time favoriet voor op foto’s is toch wel echt mijn <a href="https://www.debijenkorf.nl/damesmode/zonnebrillen/ray-ban" target="_blank">Ray-ban zonnebril</a> (modelletje round metal) van de Bijenkorf. Ik vind deze ook gewoon heel fijn bij mijn gezichtsvorm passen! Er is echter een kansje dat ik mijn Ray-ban deze zomer ook wel eens zal switchen voor een mooie <a href="https://www.debijenkorf.nl/damesmode/zonnebrillen/retro-zonnebril" target="_blank">retro zonnebril</a> – ik zie mezelf over een maandje al helemaal op een Vespa langs de Amalfi kust touren met een leuk vintage-inspired modelletje op mijn neus! Wat is jullie favoriete type zonnebril?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Each year my friends and I visit a special place for a few days to explore, have fun, laugh (a lot) and spent quality time together. This years location was Fez, Morocco. Because I visited Marrakech one month before I kinda knew what to expect of the Moroccan culture, habits and old Medina. Though I must say Fez really exceeded my expectations: so many stunning Madrasas (old Koran schools), handcraft shops and other interesting places to visit - like traditional tanneries, the Jewish quarter and enchanting royal palace. And of course lets not forget about the riads..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our stay at riad Anata (located within walking distance of all main sights) was short, but such a blast. The Fez medina can be quite chaotic and overwhelming, so entering the calm atmosphere of the riad felt like such a warm welcome after a long day of travelling - just like the super relaxed rain shower (including eucalyptus black soap) and soft bed. All pure bliss. What we loved the most about riad Anata were its cute, photogenic courtyard and relaxing rooftop. Breakfast was homemade and served at the rooftop, and included Moroccan mint tea, fresh juice, yoghurt, eggs, pastries, crispy bread, fresh fruits etc. It was all so good, and served by the incredibly friendly cook. After breakfast we got to enjoy the sun a bit more before it was time for us to leave Fez again for our rainy homecountry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last but not least: another interesting fact that is definitely worth mentioning is that riad Anata offers exclusive renting. This means that you can rent the entire riad - for example for private events, if you like to have more privacy or when travelling in a group. How cool is that? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, my friends and I had a short but very sweet stay thanks to the high level of comfort, cuteness overload and gentle staff, and hope to visit again in the future!</div>

During our last two nights in Marrakech my boyfriend and I stayed at Dar Ten: an atmospheric, cosy and a bit more traditional riad. This riad is located in the middle of the Medina and therefore has the perfect location for exploring the famous Jemaa el-Fnaa square and Marrakech souks - which is definitely a must: so many beautiful interior items, simply couldn't choose! On our arrival at riad Dar Ten we received a cup of sweet Moroccan mint tea from a friendly French-speaking lady, who kindly guided us to our room afterwards. Our room had the cutest little dome with tiny windows in all colours of the rainbow - adorable isn't it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What I loved the most about riad Dar Ten was its super cute courtyard with big tropical plants, lanterns, candles and mini pool. Especially during the evening it was such a romantic place to relax a bit with a cup of tea. Another big plus of Dar Ten was its rooftop with jacuzzi. Unfortunately due to bad weather conditions (rain and cold) during our last days we weren't able to enjoy it (or take pictures), but I can imagine that it can be such a relaxing place to escape the hustle and bustle from the souks. Last but not least, breakfast at Dar Ten was typical Moroccan: very sweet. Think of sweet pastries, fresh fruits and juices, mint tea, pancakes and bread with jam. </div>

To conclude, our last days in Marrakech have been such a blast thanks to the kind staff and amazing location of Dar Ten! </div>

Before visiting Marrakech last month I saw some photos of Riad Z (which is quite new in the Marrakech Kasbah) and fell in love with its beautiful interior instantly. Therefore I was super happy to be able to spent a night here. To avoid any problems my boyfriend and I requested the riad staff to arrange a transfer for us from Marrakech airport, which resulted in a smooth and carefree arrival (would really recommend this, since the airport can be quite chaotic and overwhelming). As soon as we arrived to Riad Z the sweet staff welcomed us as if we just entered their home and offered us a cup of (sweet) Moroccan mint tea. After finishing our tea we explored the riad a bit and got to enjoy the sun on the pretty rooftop terrace. What I love the most about Riad Z is its pretty photogenic courtyard with relaxing chairs, berber pillows, the cutest swimming pool ever and fun interior design details (some of them you can actually buy in the Marrakech souks in case you're interested). The whole place is actually a bit of a combination of traditional Moroccan style and modern design - love it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Because it was raining and storming all afternoon we decided to hide from the bad weather at<i> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/zwinzwincafe/" target="_blank">Zwin Zwin Cafe</a></i> (which happens to be from the same owner as Riad Z) and had some of the best food here: homemade samosa's, goat cheese pastilla, chicken wraps, sardines and fresh juices. It was all soooo good. Normally the restaurant has a cool rooftop terrace with stunning views all over Marrakech (including palm trees), so in case you've more luck with the weather make sure to visit because its such an atmospheric dinner or lunch spot!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After we had spent the whole afternoon at Zwin Zwin we managed to get back to the riad without getting wet, and went to bed early afterwards because of the continuing thunder storms. Next morning's breakfast was very tasty and sweet (Moroccan style): think of scrambled eggs, yoghurt, fresh fruit juice, granola, sweet pastries, fruits and of course: mint tea. To conclude we had an amazing stay at Riad Z because of its relaxing atmosphere, beautiful interior and caring staff. Thanks again for taking such good care of us! </div>

<a name='more'></a>A furry winter coat, cosy scarf, warm beanie or fun ear
warmers. With winter just around the corner and outside tempartures decreasing
rapidly we need to wrap ourselves up for the cold. Since I’m always cold I
already got all my winter stuff out of the closet – just to be prepared for days of
waking up with a white snowy landscape, snowmans or icicles all over. To be honest
I’m really looking forward to days like this – a white winter is always so incredibly
atmospheric! Still looking for a fun new beanie though. Like you probably
already noticed my grey Acne beanie (which I got at de Bijenkorf) has been one of my all
time favourites during winter season. Perhaps it is time for the same beanie in a different colour?<br />

Een fluffy winterjas, wollen <a href="https://www.debijenkorf.nl/sjaals-hoeden" target="_blank">sjaal</a>, warme muts of leuke

winter voor de deur staat en de buitentemperatuur steeds sneller daalt. Mijn
eigen winter spullen heb ik deze week maar alvast tevoorschijn getoverd,
aangezien ik het bijna altijd koud heb! Dan ben ik in ieder geval goed
voorbereid ben op dagen met witte sneeuwlandschappen, sneeuwpoppen en ijspegels.
Stiekem kijk ik hier best wel een beetje naar uit - een witte winter is altijd
zo sfeervol! Ik <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ben wel nog steeds op
zoek naar een mooie, nieuwe warme muts. Zoals jullie de afgelopen winters vast
wel door hadden is mijn grijze Acne <a href="https://www.debijenkorf.nl/damesmode/accessoires/hoeden-mutsen/mutsen" target="_blank">dames muts</a> van de Bijenkorf echt een van mijn all time

Edelgrün is a vegan restaurant, which offers a variety of healthy and very tasty food. I especially loved their 'superfood breakfast' and the avocado bread. Besides the great food, the prices are also very reasonable and the atmosphere is very cozy. Don't miss this one when you're in Cologne!<br />

Although the past weeks felt like summer, autumn is slowly starting to kick in. My favourite part of this season is that I can wear several layers, including my cosy winter coats. This faux fur one from <i><a href="https://www.otto.nl/merken/selected-femme/">selected femme</a></i> has been my absolute favourite lately. The fabric is so soft that I kind of feel like a teddy bear - just don't want to take it off since I'm always cold! What do you think about it? </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
During our stay in Paris, we had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Chavanel for two nights. This boutique hotel is located in the heart of the Madeleine district: the perfect location if you ask us. Almost all the big sights (such as the Louvre, Opera and Arc) are in a walking distance from the hotel. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We really loved the the design and ambiance of this place, and the room was also really cozy and comfortable - especially liked the comfortable bed and the view from our room on a typical Parisian street! Another thing thing that we loved, was the 100% organic buffet breakfast (including salmon, cheeses, fresh juices, croissants and so on) they served. The breakfast is served in their cozy cellar, but it is also possible to order breakfast in your room - which we obviously did on one lazy morning! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We would certainly come back here the next time when visiting Paris - the helpful staff makes you feel at home and is willing to help you with everything! </div>

During our short stay in Kandy, we had the pleasure to stay at The Theva Residency. This luxury hotel is situated in the hills, which offers the most amazing views over Kandy and its beautiful surroundings. When we first walked into our room (or suite), everything was just perfect: the big and comfy bed, the shower, but especially the jacuzzi was something special - take a look at the photos and you know what I mean! Besides the room, the atmosphere in the hotel was very relaxing and quiet. After a day of exploring Kandy you can really come to peace at this place, - enjoy your afternoon in the beautiful infinity pool while overlooking the surrounding valley, or relax in the small sauna..<br />
<br />
The hotel also possesses it own restaurant and we had the pleasure to have dinner here - I went for a pasta and my boyfriend had the chicken fajitas, both were so delicious! The same accounts for the breakfast, loved to start my day with great food and the best view over the area!<br />
<br />
All together, we had a lovely and relaxing experience at The Theva Residency. I felt a little sad to leave this dreamy place - hope to be back soon!<br />
<br />
Love, Merel<br />

autumn/winter season just around the corner it is already that time of the year
again that we need to start preparing ourselves for colder temperatures or even rain -
brrrr. Luckily, to make those darker days a bit more bright, lots of brands already
offer a super pretty f/w collection. For me autumn is always the perfect time
to restart the hunt for my dream coat, since I’m such a coat addict.

met het herfst/winter seizoen in het vooruitzicht is het weer tijd om onze
garderobe klaar te maken voor koude temperaturen of zelfs regen – brrrr.
Gelukkig hebben veel merken ook dit jaar weer super mooie najaarscollecties
voor ons ontworpen, die de donkere herfstdagen iets kunnen opvrolijken. Voor mijzelf
is de herfst ook altijd het perfecte moment om de jacht naar mijn
droomjas(sen) weer op te pakken. Ik ben zelfs stiekem een beetje verslaafd aan
mooie jassen moet ik toegeven. Momenteel is <a href="https://www.debijenkorf.nl/alix-the-label-mantel-van-imitatiebont-met-animal-dessin-9968080025-996808002598000?query=fh_location%3D%252F%252Fcatalog01%252Fnl_NL%252F%2524s%253Dalix%255Cu0020jas%26fh_view_size%3D4%26country%3DNL%26chl%3D1%26vt%3Dd2" target="_blank">deze</a> <a href="https://www.debijenkorf.nl/damesmode/jassen/winterjassen" target="_blank">dames winterjas</a> met luipaard print echt een van
mijn favorieten. Maar hoe zit dat eigenlijk bij jou? Ben jij net als ik ook altijd op zoek naar mooie jassen en fan van het dragen van verschillende laagjes in het najaar? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Last month
we had the pleasure to visit the city of love. For the both of us it was
already our second time in Paris this year, but we simply just can’t get enough
of the beauty and atmosphere of the city. Literally each and every corner seems
to be so picture perfect! So was the hotel we stayed in: 1er Etage Opera. The
hotel is located at the first floor of a typical Parisian building (close to the
Opera and Galeries Lafayette) including an enormous front door and cute courtyard. This
perfect location made it possible to see most of the highlights of the city by
foot – even Montmartre is within walking distance. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When we first
entered our deluxe room we were impressed by the cool and minimalistic
interior. Think of white walls with several Parisian prints, a beautifully
decorated open bathroom and big comfortable bed. In the evenings we made sure
to take a super long bath before going to sleep, which was such a blast after a
long day of exploring Paris. What we also really liked about the hotel was the walk-in kitchen where you could make your own cup of coffee or tea or get chocolates,
cookies or sweets - this made us feel like home!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Breakfast at
the hotel (croissants, baguette, fresh fruits, cappuccino) was partly served by
a hospitable girl, supplemented by a small breakfast buffet including
raw ham, jam, different cheeses (goat cheese – yum!), yogurt, homemade granola
and so on. Everything tasted so good, and also the atmosphere in the breakfast
room was really comfortable and felt a bit like being in someones living room. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So in case
you’re looking for a super comfortable and well decorated place to stay (on a
perfect location) during your visit in Paris we would most surely recommend 1er
Etage Opera. Thanks for making our stay in Paris even more perfect! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Montmartre is one of my absolute favourite neighbourhoods in Paris because of its colourful restaurants, cute houses, endless staircases, views over the city and of course the beautiful Sacre Coeur. Because my sister and I wanted to avoid the tourist crowds we decided to wake up early so we had the entire neighbourhood to ourselves. This way we were able to take photos of spots which are usually completely packed with people - love it! Also my new flower printed <a href="https://www.otto.nl/damesmode/rokken/" target="_blank">skirt </a>from <i>selected femme </i>turned out to match perfectly with the neighbourhood. I'm so into these midi kind of skirts lately. Especially this particular green one is so cute and has quickly become one of my all time favourites. What do you think of midi skirts? </div>

After exploring the wildlife of Sri Lanka, we headed straight to Weligama for some chill time at the coast. We had the pleasure to stay at We Escape during our time here. Really loved the vibes of this place! Its the ideal place to relax after a day of surfing or chilling at the beach (the hotel offers good surfing lessons by the way - don't hesitate to ask the staff about this) - relax in their cute garden or take a dive at the pool to cool off!<br />
<br />
We Escape is a hotel and hostel, which offers luxury and expensive rooms as well as basic and affordable rooms. They have dorms for example (6-8 people) where you can sleep in for a little price - in this way they make it possible for people with a high and low budget to enjoy the peace and quiet of this little escape!<br />
<br />
Weligama is well known for its surfing, so we couldn't leave this place without doing this activity of course. We already had our first surf lesson in Arugam Bay a couple of days earlier, but surfing isn't as easy as it looks likes and definitely requires more than one lesson, so we decided to take another lesson. Loved it - although I was really exhausted after it and felt every muscle the day after haha.<br />
After spending the day at the beach I loved coming home to We Escape - which is situated only a couple of minutes away from the beach by the way (they even have their own private beach).<br />
<br />
I really recommend to stay at We Escape, definitely your perfect little getaway!<br />
<br />
Love, Merel<br />

Our next stop in London was at Victory House Leicester Square: a chic boutique hotel in the heart of London's west end, located really close to vibrant China Town. Because of the location it was possible to explore most of the London highlights by foot - like the Big Ben, London Eye, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
What I loved the most about our stay at Victory House was the breakfast. Normally we actually like to go out of our room and have breakfast in the breakfast area, but this time my boyfriend and I were super lazy and decided to order room service. There were so many delicious things to choose from on the breakfast menu, which made it so so hard to make a final choice. In the end I went for the poached eggs with smoked salmon on an English muffin, while Cornell had some scrambled eggs with salmon on toast. Next to this we also ordered some pastries, fresh fruits, a smoothie, fresh mint tea and yoghurt with granola - all so good!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In the evening we were invited for dinner at <a href="http://www.victoryhouselondon.com/restaurant-and-bar-in-leicester-square.html" target="_blank">Petit Bistro</a>, which is the hotel restaurant. The bistro was serving delicious French food. As a main course we enjoyed a few glasses of vin rouge, steamed mussels, french fries and chicken with vegetables, after which we had a delicious cheese platter and creme brûlée for dessert. After dinner we headed for our room to recover from our after dinner dip and to relax a bit on the comfortable bed. The atmosphere and interior of our room were beautiful and definitely my cup of tea. Give me some velvet chairs, wooden furniture and golden details and I'm yours - loved it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Last but not least the staff of Victory House was very friendly and helpful at all times. Because of this our stay went smoothly, making our weekend in London even better. </div>

Neuschwanstein was the last stop on our way back home from Croatia. We always wanted to visit this beautiful castle - and although it's quite close to the Netherlands, we never had the chance to visit. We stayed in a super cute colourful village nearby, called Füssen (read more about this town and where to eat <a href="http://www.fillesvoyage.com/2017/09/stopover-in-fussen-where-to-eat.html" target="_blank">here</a>) and from here we visited Neuschwanstein. Someone told us that the castle from the Disney movies is based on Neuschwanstein - which is not hard to believe since it really is a magical fairytale castle surrounded by endless forest. The views were simply breathtaking. Besides the impressive environment, the inside of the castle is also really enchanting - but make sure to book a tour in advance since it's always super crowded!</div>

A month ago I visited Sri Lanka together with my boyfriend - we travelled around the country for 2.5 weeks and visited a lot of beautiful places. On the last days, we had the pleasure of staying at 'The Kip' for two nights. The Kip is a luxury hideaway located at the south coast of Sri Lanka, and it was definitely one of my favourite accommodations on our travel! This B&B is located in an old (renovated) colonial villa, and everything about this place is just perfect. I fell especially in love with the dreamy interior - imagine white and pink walls, plants everywhere, a swing (!), a super stylish bedroom, and the most beautiful of courtyards. The Kip is all about relaxing, and enjoying the 'slow life' as the owners like to call it. We loved it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Besides the beautiful decoration and interior, the owners Phoebe & Seddy are the kindest hosts you can imagine. They used to live in Australia, but decided to chase their dreams and moved to Sri Lanka to start this little oasis. Phoebe & Seddy were so welcoming and tried to help us with everything. They gave us a lot of insider tips about the surrounding area - including restaurants, things to do, beaches and so on.. Really helpful! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The location of The Kip is also great. Five minutes by foot, and you're finding yourself on a quiet but very beautiful beach. All the popular spots like Weligama, Unawatuna and Galle are also close by and easy to reach by tuk-tuk or by bus. The beaches of south Sri Lanka are known for their surfing, so if you're into surfing then this is definitely your chance to catch some waves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All together: The Kip really is a hidden gem, and I can't recommend this place enough. The owners, Phoebe and Seddy, created the perfect oasis to make your time in Sri Lanka unforgettable!</div>

Love, Merel<br />

Zadar was our last stop in Croatia. The old city centre of Zadar is not really big so one day is by far enough to explore this ancient town. Zadar is also known for its gorgeous sunsets - and it definitely didn't dissapoint us, probably one of the prettiest sunsets we've seen so far in Croatia! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Baba Beach Club is the younger sister of the well known Sri Panwa Phuket, and by far one of our top luxury experiences in Asia. After an exhausting travel from Singapore all the way through different locations all over Malaysia my boyfriend and I finally arrived at Phuket airport, where the Baba staff was waiting for us with a transfer, refreshing cold water and wipes to clean our hands from all the travel dirt. This was all so welcome since we were so tired back then. When we arrived at the hotel (which was only a 20-minute drive) we were immediately guided to our own private villa with direct acces to the hotel pool from its backyard. The villa itself was really modern, including a big kitchen (with ice creams in the fridge - yum!), lounge area, walk in closet (loved this), relaxing bath and enormously comfortable kingsize bed. The relaxing atmosphere made us feel at home immediately.</div>

After the villa tour we headed for the pool for a refreshing dive, and explored the area a bit. The endless beach in front of the hotel was simply gorgeous and we were so lucky to have it all to ourselves since there was no one else around besides some pretty palmtrees - including a photogenic swing! When the sun went down we ordered some yummy cocktails at the pool while listening to the weekly live performance of a DJ that was playing at the hotel. After sunset cocktails it was time for dinner at the Baba Beach restaurant. The menu contained both Japanese, Thai and Italian specialties, but in the end we decided to order Italian because after our weeks spent in Asia we kinda started missing the European kitchen. Both the pizza and pasta were simply delicious! </div>

Since I'm a real breakfast person I was also really curious about the breakfast at Baba - which turned out to be great as well. We enjoyed various pastries, croissants, eggs, fresh tropical fruits, yoghurt with homemade granola and so on at the pool, in front of our villa. The sweet staff even brought us some extra coconut jam - which had been my newest addiction ever since we set foot in Thailand. </div>

All together Baba Beach Club was such a great and luxury experience. The hotel really is a place for music lovers like us and we absolutely adored their live performances at the pool during the evenings. Also the staff was kind and helpful at all times, which made our stay even more relaxing. Thanks for the amazing time and I really hope we'll meet again in the future!</div>
