Fairy tales do exist.
Chilling in the riad is a true relief after the complete chaos of the city.

Verveine or mint tea?

quatre nuits à marrakech

Here I am sitting, perfectly happy in the tasteful and stylish Moroccan house of my super sweet friend Ank.

The last four nights we stayed in her nextdoor riad Chambres d'Amis in the middle of the Medina.

The riad is an oasis of peace and quiet and indulgence!

Whenever we returned from the city, the square or the souk;
It's amazing to experience the contrast of the crowd, the colors, the scents in the Medina and the complete delight of Chambres d'Amis.

fermob à paris

Everyone knows;
I am a huge fan of Fermob.
Not a day goes by without that Fermob feeling.
I prefer to sit outside to enjoy the moment on one of the loungers or bench (like the last few days).
but I also love to sit indoors on the Fermob behind my desk.

Are you a fan?
then join in the casting!

It's been proven
by people who are really skilled in style;
a house is a home when it's homespun.

A Homespun Style house is never done (whew) and always alive.

Selina Lake's Homespun Style is a book to refer to again and again and again...

Okay it is an exception, but too fun not to mention.

Two weeks ago on Monday I've send three handmade stools, one to Paris, one to Los Angeles and one to New York.

Wood & wool stool goes cosmopolitan!

sissy boy

Being a big fan of Sissy Boy since my teens,
I was pleasantly surprised by the message that I am one the winners of the 30th anniversary book of Sissy Boy.

In the 25th anniversary book published in spring 2007, a few pictures of Pippa and me were featured.

When we visited the SB shop in Breda 5 years ago, we got the book as a gift from the storemanager, who had recognized us as regular customers in the book.

Now we won the book!

The beautiful book represents the classy SB style through the years.
It's a tribute to the founder Michael Smit.
Reading the handwritten text of Michael in the 25th anniverery book, really touched me yesterday.

Sissy Boy is my favorite store in the Netherlands and I can't imagine my wardrobe and home without Sissy Boy...
