Californian vibes

In the South French coast there is a place where I like to go when I have wanderlust feelings,when I need to feel far away from home but I can’t leave the routine.

It is a beach called “les chalets” (Gruissan) and it is one of those revitalising sites who gives some kind of good energy.

Plus, it is a Californian ambiance there,to make you feel like discovering an exotic far away spot.

So if you are traveling near to Narbonne or Perpignan,and you want to go to the beach, don’t miss this cinematographic place.

A très vite Gruissan!

Printemps cure détox

Printemps cure détox: Après un long hiver qui se bat encore contre les beaux jours et un nettoyage de printemps dans nos armoires, j’ai voulu continuer le nettoyage avec une cure détox afin d’éliminer quelques toxines et me préparer pour les beaux jours (on a toujours espoir qu’ils arrivent pour de bon).

Después de un largo invierno que todavía lucha contra los días de sol y una limpieza de armarios,he querido continuar con la limpieza con una cura Detox para eliminar algunas toxinas y prepararme para el verano (todavía tengo la esperanza que uno de estos días salga el sol)

Printemps cure détox

Un peu fatiguée,un sensation de jambes lourdes et une baisse de forme ont aider à me lancer dans la démarche avec l’aide des conseils trouvés au bon moment sur Instagram de la part de www.aroma-zone.com

Un poco cansada, sensación de piernas cansadas y un bajón de forma me han ayudado a lanzarme con los consejos de la página de www.aroma-zone.com

Printemps cure détox

DIY bootbelt

DIY bootbelt

Diy bootbelt: the perfect festival accessory!

In this ending April’s month the #Coachella street style is everywhere and I must say I always liked this boho style from seventies.

So it is the good occasion to make a DIY that is in mind since a while: handmade hippie bootbelts.

Diy bootbelt

To make these bootbelts I just used some thifted lace and ribbons, and scraps of fabric to sew the ribbons on.

Then added rustic rope so I can tie them to my boots .

I like the fact that I can remove and change to other boots too, so it’s amovible and easier to wear!

Hope you like the style, always in a #ecofriendly way with scraps of fabric and thrifted boots. That is my way to celebrate the #earthday 2018 #sustainablefashion making my own recycled or upcycled items!

Just cut the bands, make a braid with rope and sew them to a piece of fabric to place on the heels.

Holland getaway

Holland getaway: and a small gallery of our trip to Holland with our one year old girl.

Are you still waiting for some spring weather?

Here is cold and rainy, so you can imagine that last month we haven’t the greatest weather in our Dutch scape… Besides, because of the cold weather on this long winter the tulips were a little late this year, but we found some of them and we are grateful for that.

Anyway, the journey was dreamy and the date with the tulips totally worth it.

We had only 4 days on the country and we were located at Zandvoort:

  • Day one: Amsterdam.

Well, we had already visited the capital few years ago but it is always a pleasure to rediscover a city with our girl now!

The magnificent Amsterdam Centraal Train Station, the Cathedral, Museum Van Gogh, Dam Square,Anna Frank’s house, red light district… but my favorites this time are the Bloemenmarkt (market flower) and the Sint Antoniesbreestraat, the main comercial street with all the charming vintage stores.

  • Day 2: visit to the keukenhof botanical gardens.

This is one of the world’s largest flower gardens with 37 hectares and 7 million flowers. Also,you will found here a big sample of Dutch traditions of gastronomy and folklore . From Zandvoort,take the bus 80 and enjoy on the way the peaceful view of the national park of De Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen with his dunes and lovely deers. Then take the 854 to keukenhof.

  • Day 3: Haarlem

Visit Haarlem on Saturday and enjoy the weekly market, I loved the ambiance there, with the cathedral watching at you that’s just magical. (The Grote Kerk or St.-Bavokerk on the central market square). Then on our way to the train station we meet the Adriaan windmill. We finished the visit a little earlier than planned because the rain,but that was a lovely day anyway.

  • Day 4: Zandvoort.

“The Pearl by the sea”. A perfect must see,the beach offered us some revitalizing sunshine, and we enjoyed the sunset while savouring a great meal on the restaurant Aan Zee.

And that is the end of this “long weekend”, I hope it will be a third time in the country of tulips, moulins and wooden socks.

Hope you liked the Holland getaway through my photos!

Easter getaway

Are you still waiting for some spring time?

Upcycled bag from table mats

Upcycled bag from table mats: Spring is in the air and the joyful season brings new kind of accessories for our outfits, but you don’t need to buy new stuff! There are lots of alternatives to fast fashion, you can buy second hand or create your own items.

Longer and sunnier days, colorful clothes,the songs of the birds… slowly we leave this hard winter behind us and the summer will bring us to the beach style.

I love it, the casual ways there, the rustic bohemian style, and all kind of handmade accessories. Rafia, crochet, guipure…

The trend piece of last summer was the round bag.

And for those who prefer the recycled ecofriendly style, I found a way to make it by myself.

DIY rafia tote bag with two place mats from dried water hyacinth.

What you need:

-A fragment of fabric.

-A zip (by the way you can recycle it from old clothes).

-Two place mats from dried water hyacinth.

-The handle of an old bag.

Customize it as you want: I sew a vintage crocheted napkin and I love the result!

You must sew a fabric band, put a zip on, and sew both place mats to the fabric band. Then add de handle and voilà, ready for the summer walks and evenings.

I am seriously obsessed about that bag! Love the vintage and boho style and it’s also perfect as a beach bag! Do you like it?

Handmade overalls

Handmade overalls and how I made that cute outfit for my girl!

Tomorrow we are going to look for chocolate eggs. In my mind I see rabbits, colorful eggs, sunrises and daisies on green meadows.

Maybe that’s the reason why few weeks ago I needed to sew a rural girl outfit.

This outfit is an inspiration of the overalls from www.ohmotherminediy.com.

Although I only wanted two suspenders and a skirt I took the pattern idea of this post: http://www.ohmotherminediy.com/diy-costura-pichi-de-pana-para-ninas-patrones-gratis/

Ohmotherminediy.com is a talented mom who shares beautiful babies patterns for free in her page and YouTube channel.

So here it goes the result of the outfit, with some scraps of fabric and just a few hours sewing there is the little lady ready to run after the Easter rabbits.

Hope you liked these handmade overalls!
