I can’t believe these pictures turned out the way I wanted them to be.
You may or may not know that Europe was hit by a cold wave two weeks ago and I was literally freezing my butt off. While taking these pictures I even thought my camera would stop working because of the cold.
Ofcourse, I wasn’t complaining, I absolutely love the cold.

I wish I could have stayed a bit longer in the tipi (maybe even bring my sleeping bag). It was cozy and I had the most wonderful view.
I do not regret going outside to take these pictures while my family was having tea, because it was one of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen.
For me, there’s nothing more beautiful than the sun setting behind the mountains.

Have a lovely Sunday,
Sara

Protect Our Winters

(follow me on Instagram 'sweetharvestmoon')

First, I want to thank all of you for all the great and encouraging comments on this blog. This little place turned 1 two days ago and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you!

Here are finally some pictures of my vacation in de French/Swiss Alps. Editing these pictures made me miss it even more. As usual I’m experiencing ‘post-mountains blues’ and I can’t wait to go back in July.

As you can tell from the pictures I had a wonderful time. Nobody on the slopes, lots of snow and sun but, holy smoke, it was cold (-26C/ -15F)! Even my super expensive GORE-TEX gloves couldn’t keep me warm (but the many hot chocolate stops did).

Before leaving I made this amazing mixtape, including the new First Aid Kit album, Bon Iver, Ben Howard and many more…, that made the eight hour drive less long.

Have a relaxing Sunday,
Sara

It even gets more magical once the first snow has fallen…

Have a great first week of February,

Happy Friday (13th) everyone!

This has to be my favorite spot.
I’ve been blessed to live near a very big forest just outside of Brussels where I try to go at least once a week to hike or bike. It even played an important part in the ‘Battle of Waterloo’.

I really like how these pictures turned out. I absolutely wanted that pink/grey vibe from Twin Peaks (one of my favorite TV shows). Now that I re-watched the entire series during the cold autumn months, I’m hooked on the Twin Peaks Podcast. Special agent Dale Cooper is such a dreamboat! You may also have recognized Kyle Maclachlan these days as the fictitious mayor of Portland on ‘Portlandia’ .

Also, I made some changes to my tumblr, you can find it over here.

Have a wonderful weekend,
Sara

Merry Christmas!

I hope you had a wonderful time with family and friends and that Santa brought you everything you asked for.

I think you may already know from my last post that I love to visit castles. Last Monday, I went to the Modave Castle (Château de Modave) to visit this year’s Christmas decorations. Every year, the castle becomes this enchanted fairy tale place where I would love to celebrate Christmas!

We ate a delicious meal at the castle with fresh and typical food from the Ardennes region and had cinnamon ice cream (my favorite!) for dessert… A magical day!

Love,
Sara

Deck the Halls

2011-12-17T01:14:00.001+01:00

The Christmas rug and bear cushion are already on my wishlist for next year!

How cute is that Christmas pudding ornament?

Look at the date!

Can you believe Christmas is only one week away? ONE WEEK!
December (October and November too if you ask me) has flown by. My favorite time of year is almost over.
Luckily, we end every year with a festive season. Nothing makes me happier than Christmas time. If I would live by myself I would play Christmas songs around the house as early as October!

Every November, I make my Christmas wishlist and I start searching for the perfect gifts for my beloved ones.

I was browsing through ASOS to find the perfect winter scarf when I found this red beauty. After some research on the internet, I came across ‘Johnstons of Elgin’.

I love finding out more about the history of a brand. I find it fascinating how a brand changes (or doesn’t change) over the years. Yes, I love my Yardley soap, my Nivea Face cream and my vintage Delvaux bag. Brands with a lot of history.

“With a rich history dating back to 1797, heritage brand ‘Johnstons of Elgin’ are renowned for manufacturing the finest cashmere cloth, knitwear and accessories. Sourcing their premium cashmere from farmers in Inner Mongolia, they look to sustainability of the herds and good pastures to ensure for luxury blends. ‘Johnstons’ offer impeccable craftsmanship across a contemporary edit of knitted scarves, socks and hats.” (from the ASOS website)

I immediately ordered the Christmas catalog and fell in love with it! This is how Christmas is supposed to look like. Cozy, snug and with a lot of tartan!

So, if you are still searching for a gift for that special someone, you can’t go wrong with a classic item from ‘Johnstons of Elgin’.

As I’m writing this by the Christmas tree, I can already see a present with my name on it. My little finger tells me it may be the red scarf. Thank you, Santa!

I hope you will have a lovely weekend baking Christmas cookies and drinking eggnog!

Love,
Sara

I almost forgot about these pictures!

Back in October, we had an Indian Summer with lots of beautiful and warm weather (20° C/ 68°F).
Leaves just started changing colors and we picked our first pears in the orchards.

On a Monday morning we decided to go to the Annevoie Castle and gardens. The gardens were created in 1758 by Charles-Alexis de Montpellier and are the result of French strictness and English imagination brought together.

We ended the day with a ‘croque monsieur’ and homemade apple pie made with vegetables and fruits from the garden. I also bought a couple pumpkins to decorate my front door.

Every time I visit a castle, I can’t help but play ‘Marie-Antoinette’ by Sofia Coppola in my head. Sadly, there wasn’t a Ladurée nearby…

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I can’t believe that it will be Christmas in less than two weeks!

Love,
Sara

I know, there are a lot of photos but I just couldn't make a selection... I hope you don't mind.

So on Thursday afternoon I went to see ‘Breaking Dawn’. Whenever I watch a movie of the Twilight Saga or an episode of Twin Peaks, I just want to take the first plane to the Pacific Northwest! It’s so beautiful out there…

I finally wore my Clarks Desert boots the other day. I must admit that they are the most comfortable shoes I own. I also love the color; it’s not really brown or grey, it’s something in between.

What are you going to do this weekend? Going to the movies perhaps?

Happy Friday!

Sara

I have so many pictures to show you, I don’t even know where to start.

This what my weekend before Halloween looked like: beautiful weather, trying out new recipes (my very first pumpkin pie!) and photographing fall foliage. It was quite nice I must say.

I hope you wished big yesterday: it won’t happen again for another 100 years!

Have a lovely Sunday,

Here are some pictures from my weekend.
We had beautiful weather so I decided to enjoy it to the fullest.

First of all we went to the English store to pick up the last goodies for the Halloween party and some canned pumpkin. I made (and ate) pumpkin pie for the first time! It was just how I imagined it: smooth, delicious and very cinnamon-y! I’ll make another post about it soon ;)

Also, I’m in love with that Fleet Foxes song. Seriously, I listened to it all weekend long…

Hope you had a great weekend too,

Love,

Twin Peaks Theme - Angelo Badalamenti

Sunday morning.

It was a bright and early wake-up because of the long hike we had planned that day. But first, tea in bed followed by cranberry walnut pancakes.

It’s that time of year again when all I can think of is what I’m going to dress up on Halloween and what fall recipes I should to try next. It’s also that time of year when I become obsessed with Twin Peaks and horror movies…

Oh October, I love you.

Love,
Sara

Well, I saw it coming: I’m having a terrible cold.
Maybe it’s because of the freezing air on the plane or because it has been 10°C (50°F) over here. The only things that keep me going these days are autumn images on tumblr and tea.
On the bright side, it gives me lots of time to knit and to plan an upcoming Halloween party…

As you can see these pictures were taking before the leaves started changing colors. Hope you like the new banner too!

Happy thanksgiving to all the Canadians out there! Have a wonderful time.

Sara

Fleet Foxes - Lorelai

I’ m back y’all !

We had a beautiful first day of autumn and I thought it would be fun to take some pictures of my cat and dog with the pumpkins that are decorating the garden.
Oh my, I think I’m the only one in the world who finds pumpkins so fascinating because these two couldn’t care less about it… It turned out to be pretty funny to get them close to the pumpkins!

While I was writing and editing this post I was listening to the latest Fleet Foxes album for the first time . That’s right, the one that came out last May.
I religiously kept it in my draw until Fall.

What did you guys do on this first day of autumn?

Have a lovely weekend!

An early Fall ...

2011-09-01T12:21:00.001+02:00

pictures from last year

Happy September 1st!

Personally, I don’t believe in ‘New Year’s resolutions’ but in September Resolutions. September has always been the month of changes.

In Belgium, school always starts on September 1st. A new backpack, crayons, lunchbox and seeing your friends again after two months of summer vacation playing in the sun. I remember when I was younger I was always happy to see Horse Chestnut leaves falling on the ground at the end of August because I knew it was almost time to go back to school. I think that’s when Autumn became my favorite season.

Now it’s not about crayons and pencil cases anymore but about ankle boots, coats and scarves. The moment when it gets colder outside and you have to start wearing mittens and a big scarf to keep you warm, that’s when I’m truly happy.

All these different colors, cranberry muffins, apple cider, pumpkin pie (anything with pumpkin actually), blueberries, hot chocolate, Halloween, cinnamon tea, mushrooms, Thanksgiving, … all lead to another beautiful season, winter.

One of my resolutions this year was to learn how to knit. Right know I’m knitting my first scarf for my mom’s upcoming birthday. Wish me luck!

Now you know I’m excited for Fall, are you?

Love,
Sara

The weather in Belgium has been terrible this summer so when I look at these pictures again from my vacation in France, I’m a little bit ‘homesick’. For ten years now, we go back to the same little village in the French Alps and I can’t help it to miss it.

These pictures were taken on the last evening before going to dinner. Don’t you just love all the flowers? I loved the chalet we were staying at, it’s beautiful and cosy.

Can’t wait to go back!

A summer day at the lake

2011-07-25T12:52:00.001+02:00

Lake Annecy.
It is the second largest lake in France and let me tell you, this place is magical. No wonder Annecy is called ‘Venise of the Alps’. The water is so pure and the perfect shade of lake blue.
A little heaven between the mountain tops!

The day we visited Annecy we were very lucky because we had 35° C (95° F) and clear blue sky. It was such a gorgeous summer day…

My only regret is that I didn’t have my polka dot bikini with me because I was very tempted to just jump in the water!

Have great week,
Love,

Hi everyone!

If you are reading this, I’m not at the seaside anymore but somewhere on a Swiss mountain top…
That’s right, I’m off again!

This time, I’m enjoying the fresh mountain air in the Swiss and French Alps. I will be eating cheese and Swiss chocolate, go hiking, play tennis, swim in mountain lakes and taking pictures of beautiful flowers…

I hope you are having a great vacation too…
See you soon!

Love,

Summer Breeze

2011-07-06T10:00:00.001+02:00

Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom.

July is dressed up and playing her tune.

Summer breeze, makes me feel fine,

blowing through the jasmine in my mind.

And I’m off to the seaside again! This time with some friends…

In my bag you will find my summer essentials: a lace dress, a pair of Swedish Hasbeens, a tan purse and my favorite headphones.

If you follow me on Twitter you must know by now that I just love the ‘Dazed and Confused’ soundtrack (and movie).

It’s really a great summer album and this song in particular is my favorite song on the soundtrack… Summer breeze by Seals & Crofts.

1972 must have been a great year if you ask me!

Bye bye,

(you must listen to that song, it's a French sixties summer song by Dalida)

Well, it certainly has been a little quiet around here and I’m sorry about that.
I’ve been really busy with school but now I can finally enjoy some time off. I’m so happy I can relax and take some time for myself.

To start off my vacation I watched my favorite summer movie (Dazed & Confused, you must watch it, it’s really great) and on Friday I went swimming with a couple of friends (carlota & lippylash) and ate banana/blueberry ice cream.
After that I went to the seaside with my family for two days and lay in the sun almost the entire weekend. It’s a great feeling to have sun on your skin and sand between your toes!
Time now to watch more movies, read magazines, eat cherries, and buy beautiful flowers at the farmers market.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend too…

So, today’s the first day of summer and it’s raining here…
But don’t worry, these are some sunny pictures from 2 weeks ago!

Here’s another 70’s inspired skirt that I found at H&M. I just had to have it! Normally, I don’t really like denim skirts but this one was a little A-lined and I really like the tan leather patches on the side.

I hope the sun is shining where you are , have a beautiful day!

Love,
Sara

(Please, don’t look at my knee. A couple of days before these pictures were taken, I fell down on tram rails. Yes, I am that clumsy. To make a long story short: I was going to get tickets for the Bon Iver show here in Brussels but then the site crashed, so I hurried to concert place to get tickets and while going there I fell down. I couldn’t walk for two days and my foot was very swollen but everything is ok now…. Only, I’m still very sad that I don’t have tickets for that Bon Iver concert)

2011-06-10T22:17:00.000+02:00

Dress: Jenny Packham, Clutch: Prada

The first thing I saw on the internet today were these pictures of William & Catherine from last night.
How beautiful is Catherine’s dress?
I’m really into nude/pink colors lately and I think it’s really pretty.

But the thing is; I knew I had seen that dress before.

It was only after reading an article about the upcoming Royal Wedding in Monaco that I knew where I saw it… On Gossip Girl!

Blair wore a similar dress when her prince (Louis of Monaco) proposed to her.

If this was real life, Catherine and Blair would totally be BFFs, don’t you think?

Who do you think wore it best, Catherine or Blair?

Have a lovely weekend,

Sara

(I forgot my sunglasses)

Gold-plated bracelet from Veritas

Skirt&blouse&denim jacket from H&M, Shoes&bag from Primark

This is what I wore to go to the Roger Waters’ concert on Friday.
I love this skirt. It’s actually one of my favorites, I could wear it every day!
It has a 70’s vibe and the colors are just so autumn like…

What about the concert?

It was AMAZING! God knows, I’ve been to a lot of concert but this one tops them all.

Luckily I was just in time for the ‘Classic Rock Revival’ as I like to call it; great bands from the sixties and seventies who make their final (?) tour around the world. For money? Maybe, but I always regretted I was not able to see my favorite bands in the actual year their albums came out.

‘The Wall’ is an epic album and so was the concert. You just had to be there.
It was quite the spectacle. Roger ‘s voice is almost the same as it was 30 years ago. The visuals during the concert were breathtaking. It was an evening I'll never forget.

I also bought some merchandise at the concert; a tote bag and a badge. I just couldn’t resist.

Have a great week,

Sara

The Wall

2011-05-27T15:53:00.000+02:00

As you know (or maybe not) I love sixties/seventies music.
Do not ask me what the new song from Lady Gaga is because I wouldn’t know…
I’m not an outsider either but the only recent music I listen to are Fleet Foxes, Alela Diane and Bon Iver.

So tonight is THE night. THE concert.

The Wall performed by Roger Waters.

I just can’t wait! I already have my tickets for over a year hehe

Have a beautiful weekend !

Love & peace,

Sara

Hermès: Festival des Métiers

2011-05-23T09:16:00.001+02:00

On Sunday, I needed a break from studying for the finals and went to Brussels city to witness something extraordinary.

Hermès was having a ‘Festival of Crafts’ to show the world their craftsmanship in every detail.
It was really weird to touch every material (silk, leather) and to photograph every step that is needed to make a scarf, a handbag or a watch.

(this only a small selection of pictures, I’ll upload them on flickr too)

As you can see, I also bought a new lens (EF 50mm f/1.8 II) for my Canon. After seeing Kris Atomic beautiful pictures, I just needed a 50 mm lens…

I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I do.

Love,
Sara

Picture from famapa

I know it’s not Caturday today but I saw this picture at Miss Moss and I fell in love with it.
The light, the shadows, the cat, … it’s just beautiful.

Can’t wait for Sunday when I can take my cat (and dog) in my arms again.

Love,

Sara

Skirt&Marinière from H&M, Blazer from Zara, Sunglasses from Ray-Ban

What a shame, I still have a lot of pictures from my trip to the seaside to show you!

(actually seeing these pictures again makes me a little sad now, because I was in a better and much happier place back then…)

Have a great week!

OUTFITPOST: Kitty

2011-05-10T08:37:00.000+02:00

Dress: H&M, SH for H&M

Ok, half an outfit post.

These are officially the most comfortable shoes I own! Love them!
I really like the dress too, it has a real seventies vibe to it …

When I wear my Swedish Hasbeens and that dress, I feel like Kitty on 'That 70's Show' haha

Have a great week!

Love,
Sara

That’s it, for the next decade I’m not allowed to buy nail polish again!

(I was so happy there was still a bottle left of this (fall) color, I just love hot pink)

Have a lovely Sunday!

Love,

Gifts

2011-05-03T08:07:00.001+02:00

Canon EOS 500D/Rebel

Necklace shown here

As promised, here are the pictures of my birthday gifts.

I think 21^st birthdays are important. You have to act like an adult (yeah right) and be responsible (?).
Anyway, I got really spoiled this year and I’m so thankful for everything.

I wanted a DSLR for so long now and I can’t believe I have one! Same goes for the Diana camera, I’m so unbelievable happy!

Last but not least; diamonds are a girl’s best friend ;)

Have a great week!

Love,

Sara

Royal Wedding

2011-04-29T10:53:00.002+02:00

When you are reading this, I’ll probably be stuck in front of my television sipping a cup tea
(or Gin&Tonic because today is #ginocklock haha)

I’m so excited!!!

Actually, I’m a little embarrassed how excited I am.
I’m such a softie for those things. I just know I’m going to cry..

Congratulations, and thank you for letting us be part of your special day. I wish you both all the happiness in the world!

Anyway, I hope you will enjoy your Friday, Royal Wedding or not :)

Love,

Sara

EDIT: I just heard Karl Lagerfeld on French television saying her dress will be McQueen …

EDIT 2: How beautiful was it? Perfect wedding; the dress, the ceremony, the kiss, everything! :D
