THE S FILES – JUNE EDITION

Life is all about celebrating the little things – the first snow of the year, a day at the beach, a blossomed flower, a fun evening with friends, ice cream on a hot day, the smell of rain, discovering hidden corners in the city you’ve lived for years… Every month I’m sharing with you all those moments captured through my camera that made each day special. Follow my adventures on Instagram and share yours!

Celebrating the arrival of my favourite season with picnics, brunch on sunny terraces and holiday dreaming. Tasting the best hummus I’ve ever had at Kitchen 151, the brand new tapas restaurant in Brussels. Sundays with a new book, passion fruit tart and Ethiopian coffee at Aksum Coffee House. Fridays at the Aperos Urbains around the city. Discovering hidden comic strip walls around Brussels. After work gin and tonic cocktails with friends at the secret terrace of Imagin pop up bar.

Fabulous sunsets in London and Aussie brunch at Kopapa. London shopping, Ben’s cookies with milk and laughing to tears with my girlfriends. Morning walks along the Thames and juicy summer fruits for dinner. Attending my first food bloggers conference, meeting new people and getting very inspired by people whose work I admire.
