Marseille

The girls went to Marseille last weekend and had a great time

Our tips:

1. Notre-dame-de-la-garde  (take the little tourist train at Vieux Port) gives you a breathtaking view         over the city, do it by sunset!

2. Apéro at La Caravelle: great mojito's and a little balcony in the sun at Vieux Port.

3. Au Vieux Panier: a shop where they only sell typical french things (rue du Panier)

4. Mucem: we only visited the outside(it's for free), took the passerelles and had coffee on the terrace.

5. Les Calanques: visit its dazzling white limestone fjords by boat. (departure at Vieux Port)

6. Diner here

7. Café: here and here

8. Buy some famous Marseille's cookies called "Navettes" here. Best in town.

9. Lunch: Café de l'abbaye

10. Diner Chez Etienne (Rue de Lorette 43): pizza & more

 

Paris is always a good idea

I've just visited Paris (just loooove my job).
top to bottom: 1. the Eiffeltower (always makes me smile when I spot it) 2.&3. the food departement in Le Bon Marché (always makes me hungry and greedy) 4. beautiful buildings (always take a look upstairs, so many beautiful buildings) 5. a secret door in Merci (lovely shop, great visual merchandising) 6. a sign in Bon Ton 7. Bonpoint (always beautiful windows)

 

 

 

window shopping: autumn jungle

I've started a new window tour today at Van Hassels: cutout leaves as a backdrop. Like my job :-)

treasure hunting

I've visited some thrift shops and flea markets lately...nice treasures

van hassels made a mini collection in collaboration with feeling. to launch this "bella capri" collection, they organise a late evening shopping event in antwerp or ghent. you get styling advice, make-up, 15% reduction and a goodie bag! ladies, what are you waiting for? subscribe now!

sale

last week I made "sale dresses" for Van Hassels shops.

they are made out of paper table cloth, and written on it with fluor marks.

yes, I already love my new job (as a visual merchandiser)!

pop-up to date

what to do with several vacant shops in Berchem (Antwerp)?  pop-up to date gives some designers the possibility to open their own shop for a few months.

all shops are open from thursday till saturday (10-18h).

we love pop-up shops, they give lots of inspiration, check them out yourself!

No travelling without souvenirs.
