Something new...

From now on you can find the new Beau Bon Joli at www.beaubonjoli.com

See you there! :)

Another perfect day in Paris

Open your curtains and feel the morning light on your skin. Have breakfast in bed and read you favourite book while sipping your freshly squeezed orange juice. Finished? Call your friend and throw on elegant dresses. Get lost while wandering the streets and faint by pretty, luxurious windows. End your day with a royal pastry for both of you and buy an enormous bunch of fluffy peonies.

Well, that would be my perfect day in Paris..

Ultimate happiness

Barefoot swinging around through hundreds of flowers brings so much happiness to me. And not only to me, everyone who went by got a smile on their face which made me even more happier. 

Oh, I haven't mentioned the dress yet! I got this dress last year and it arrived the day my summer holidays started; it couldn't be more perfect! Today I wore this beauty again with the same feeling of freedom. Well, actually way more! Yesterday I had my last exam, which is probably the source of this post full of happiness!

Have a happy weekend! :)

I'm wearing a dress by the gorgeous MSGM which already appeared on my blog but I thought it deserved another post

Premier anniversaire!

Today it's exactly one year since I wrote my first post for Beau Bon Joli! 

There weren't as many posts as I wanted but I'm going to change that. Within less than two weeks I will be done with my exams and will have seas of time to improve my blog; something I've wanted to do for such a long time! 

So my blog will hibernate for a few weeks but after that it will be full of life! See you soon! :)

Spring has sprung!

Suddenly it's a bit green outside, yeees! Today I brought my sunglasses, jumped between daffodils and found a little ladybug. I think spring has sprung!

Ready to Fish blouse, Humanoid vest, Zara trousers, All Stars and Oliver Peoples sunglasses

Green and in bloom

Watermelons, peonies in full bloom and a lot of green leaves. It's maybe a bit early but it's coming and I like it! :)

Oh so fresh!

Bright greenhouses, tickling blades of grass and a fresh smell of daisies: little pleasures in life.

Have a happy weekend!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all of you!

I decided to bring some spring colours into these grey and cold days so I put the gorgeous colour 'May' from Chanel on my nails and jumped into some soft pink trousers.

The flowers on our table were the cherry on top (literally) to create a little spring feeling. 

Zara blouse, Theyskens' Theory jumper, Vanilia trousers and French tulips

Take a break

Oh yes, I wish I could take a break. Having a bath, making some strawberry breakfast and arranging spring flowers without having the pressure to think about school work would be so great. If everything goes well I will pass my exams in may and have lots of time to do these kind of things.

For now I can only dream about it while learning... ;)

Springtime!

My favourite Saturday morning thing is walking over the weekly fabric market here in Utrecht. Yesterday it looked as if spring started. All the fabrics were so bright, colourful and full of flowers. Spring started for me!

White blanket

When I woke up this morning and looked outside, everything was covered under a crisp white blanket. I have been so fond of snow all my life so I couldn't wait to get out and enjoy it. While in New York everyone is preparing for severe blizzards, I had fun! 

Dolce & Gabbana dotted blouse, Acne jumper, Bellerose coat, Bijenkorf angora beanie, Vanilia trousers, Lanvin iPhone case and my beloved five-year-old Shabbies from Fred de la Bretoniere

Birthday rose

One of my birthday roses ended up as a dress. Who doesn't want to be a walking flower?

Long, cold and dark

The 'Oversized Turtleneck' from the Maison Martin Margiela x H&M collection fits pretty well with the other dark colors I'm wearing. As you can see it's not only the turtleneck that's oversized. The loooong sleeves are perfect right now! :)

Best buys

It's been a while but here is a new outfit post for you! As you can see, it's pretty cold here. The only way to stay a bit warm is to wrap myself up in this big scarf and drinking lots of tea.

In these pictures you can see me wearing one of my best purchases from last year: the beloved Acne Pistol Boots! Another great buy is the Cacharel jacket I found at Labels Inc. a great vintage store in Antwerp and, last but not least, the trousers which I bought yesterday at Vanilia. I'm in love with the colour!

Have a happy weekend!
