Namastay in Africa!

Almost at the end of my trip…

 One of the last stops I make is at Côte d’Ivoire. This is a country in West-Africa. Lots of women still wear traditional clothes here. They wear dresses in bright colors that are called pagnes. With the dresses go matching head scarves. Or they wear a blouse with a long piece of cloth that is wrapped around their waist like a skirt. The men wear shorts, or also wrap pieces of cloth around them.

 Before the end of my trip, I really need to be relaxed. This way I can start working on my new collection with fresh energy. So I’m doing some yoga with friends to recharge my battery.

 What is your ultimate way to relax?

See you soon, buddies!

Hike away!

Hi there!

 I’m in South-Africa. The most iconic landmark of this country is no doubt Table Mountain. This mountain makes sure you get the most beautiful photographs and views when standing on the top. But it also has about 2200 species of plants living on it and about 1470 floral species. The mountain is one of the new seven world wonders thanks to its rich floral region.

Table mountain has a flat top peak, which makes the mountain reach 1086 meters above the sea level. While I’m hiking this mountain, I should also bring a visit to Cape of Good Hope, the most southern point of Africa.

 Have you been to Africa yet?

 See you!

A dive into history in the Czech Republic

Hi guys,

I arrived at the Czech Republic today. This is a cute country with a lot of history. On the picture I’m standing on the Charles Bridge in Prague. This bridge is a famous one that’s build over the Moldawa in Prague. The bridge connects the Old Town with the neighbourhood Malá Strana. King Charles IV put the first stone of the bridge on July 9th, 1357. At first, the bridge was called ‘Stone Bridge’, but in 1870 they changed it to Charles Bridge.

The bridge is 516 meters long and almost 10 meters wide. It’s decorated with 30 statues. Most of them in the style of baroque, placed there between 1683 and 1714. Quite old, huh? Did you know the historical city center of Prague is on the list of UNESCO world heritage? So much history contained by one city. It’s amazing!

I’m going to stroll around in this cozy city.

Bye!

Lithuanian strolls

Hi there!

Lithuania has a lot of green parks to stroll around. The sping sun is perfect for long walks and coffee on a terrace.

Two weeks ago I was in Scotland, where I made myself a kilt, the typical scottisch skirt. I also made a matching top to go with it. Find the tutorial for the top here:

What kind of tutorial would you like to see on the blog? Let me know!

Love,

The favorite sweater in Iceland

Hi guys,

I’m in Iceland, where it’s quite chilly at the moment. I noticed everyone around here wearing a typical knit sweater. These sweaters are mostly handmade by family members, who gift them to their loved ones. People in Iceland never buy them themselves, they only get them as a present. Legend says that there are still sweaters worn that are in the family for ages!

I looked through my closet and I found a design that made me think of these sweaters, my Kathy Pink Outfit. And I also love the Kathy Tiger pants, that resembles the pattern of the Icelandic sweaters.

Do you have a favorite sweater?

Let me know!

See you!
