Brunch favorite: Soep&Zoet (Sint-Niklaas)

22 January 2018


Last week I added a new brunch spot to my list of favorites. Soep&Zoet (translates to Soup&Sweets) started serving up their dreamy-looking plates of goodness in 2014 in a cozy two-story building on the main shopping street of Sint-Niklaas. I discovered it thanks to my aunt, who lives there and highly recommended the place. If you're interested in exploring Belgium's lesser-known cities, Sint-Niklaas is just a 30 minute train ride away from Antwerp which, if you're a brunch lover like me, is totally worth it!


The all-day brunch menu at Soep&Zoet varies from oatmeal and yogurt bowls to pancakes, banana bread with coconut cream or - my mom's favorite - a bacon, egg and avocado waffle. Having a hard time picking just one of these delicacies? Thanks to the sharing is caring-formula, two people can taste three dishes for €25. The big winner for me was the French toast with poached pears and lime mascarpone. If I could have that on my plate every day, I'd be one hella happy girl.

Winter blues

14 December 2017


I’m posting this outfit a little belated and by now the time of going out in just a sweater has unfortunately passed. Snow has fallen and autumn has officially made way for winter’s arrival. Although I enjoy December’s festivities as much as the next person, it breaks my heart a little to see the last leaves falling each year. 


I know it sounds super cheesy and I have no way of explaining it but somehow fall, its colors, the chilly weather- it all inspires me so much. I could spend the entire day just walking through the park, camera in hand, looking for the most beautiful spots or settings. And then winter comes and sucks me into this big black hole of hibernation where all I want to do is sleep and stay in with hot cocoa and do absolutely nothing. I’m sure I’m not the only one experiencing this?

In any case, this year I’m making it my mission to fight the winter blues. Last week I started a new job at Madam Bakster, a bakery and coffee shop specializing in vegan treats free of refined sugars and artificial flavors. It’s a huge but welcome change to my former job at H&M and I feel like a whole new world has opened up for me. I’m really excited and thankful for all the new experiences that are awaiting me and you know what? Not even the season can spoil my mindset!
