strange moosic: Herman Düne X blue flamingo

picture from the Herman Dune blog
Last night my friend Sophie had some free tickets and took me for the Herman Düne concert here in Antwerp, lucky me! Support act was Alamo Race Track, you probably know them of the song 'Black Cat John Brown'. Loved their gig! Afterwards we went to get some drink as the band had to clear the stage and Herman Düne had to do their soundcheck. In the hallway we spotted three lost Parisian boys: the Herman Dune crew.

Open eyes, open heart. More info soon.....

pictures from my trip to london. Spend most of my time in East London around Hackney and London fields, was so nice.. Already miss all the beautiful places and friends there...

Go Gretchen!

Yes we're a few months late in Belgium.. Project Runway is on and although I usually don't really follow the show, I fell in love with the lovely Gretchen Jones. In my opinion she should win every challenge. Not only am I big fan of her designs, but also her look and beautiful personality. She moves from the heart and it shows.

The Loreal challenge, how could she not win this one?

Ever since Project Runway Gretchen moved from Portland to New York
(what's up with Portland? it pops up a lot lately.. is it a sign??)
Livng the dream,  all by staying true to her instincts and her own heart, she gives a bit of herself in every collection..

Here is a preview of her A/W 2011 collection..




Sigh
LOVE the first look: the long skirt with the cropped top..
Gretchen, do you ship to Belgium? (that's Europe)

'"My heart was there to connect with women like you, not win over the world." - Gretchen

Well that's what it's all about: connection, beauty and love,
thank you Gretchen!

I'm not a cat person, I just happen to have two cats. Coco and Pastis.
And my blog is NOT too cute, only on rare occasions, like this one. This one is over the top.

and that will be the last time I will post something cute about cats. maybe.
