BEST OF MARCH 2013

April 1st, 2013

bestofapril2013

Bye, bye March, hello April. How was your month in terms of travelling and seeing the latest spots around the world? Or even close by? In your own city? I was so lucky to start the month in Cape Town and Johannesburg to discover the best places for you to go. At home I had a lot of work waiting for me, but that didn’t stop me from updating my own city (Rotterdam) and visiting the new concept store Groos. And I went to Antwerp to see de Invasie and discovered Viktor: a beautiful place to get your coffee (or hot chocolate milk) and shop. Another thing to celebrate is the fact that my blog turned 3 years last week and I’m still not thinking of stopping at all. There’s so much more to discover to get you, and myself, in the mood for travelling the design way. Have a good month!

The Maboneng Precinct is an area full of old warehouses turned into restaurants, hotels and even a museum (see this picture on Instagram, the museum is gonna open in a few months). It still has a rough edge to it. That’s also the charm of Jo’burg: it’s not a brochure like city. You really have to dig into it to find the pearls. Like Arts on Main on a Sunday afternoon. There a food and fashion market Read more…

capetownweek

For all of you who followed me on Instagram and Facebook the past weeks know: I completely fell in love with South Africa. I couldn’t stop posting pictures of all those beautiful hotspots. I was surprised by the amount of great shops and restaurants like Loading Bay and Superette. Once arrived at Babylonstoren my romantic side came up: here I just have to get married one day. Declaring your love on a long, wooden table  in a greenhouse with your friends and family seems like the ultimate hotspot moment. This week I’m gonna share all my Cape Town discoveries. To inspire you to go to South Africa. Because if Read more…

I’M GOING TO SOUTH AFRICA, ANY TIPS?

February 21st, 2013

southafrica

South Africa, especially Cape Town, was already on my wish list for years. And now I’m actually going! Tomorrow at this time I will probably watching a movie during the 11-hour flight to Cape Town with KLM. I’m invited by South African Tourism to review Design Indaba – the Design Week of Cape Town, and ofcourse will come back with addresses, reviews and other interesting things I’ve spotted during my stay. After Cape Town I’m also visiting Johannesburg to Read more…
