Although it was busy at work, there was a lot of rain this week, I fell in a puddle with my bike, watched the saddest movie ever and had some crap evenings: I made a list!

Today I'll just doodle away.

My last holiday happy stats, how sad.

Monday everything will be back to normal again.

It makes me kind of nervous.

My watch broke down, so I needed a new one. I picked this super nice one made by Eva from Misako Mimoko. From now on it will be five o'clock forever. I like that!

must-see-monday : advice to sink in slowly

If you're ever in need of advice, go check advice to sink in slowly: a series of posters designed by graduates for the purpose of passing on advice and inspiration to first year students. Such a friendly idea! I could use some advice myself.

This week was great! I didn't have to go to work, so I spend a lot of time working on graphic design, reading (a lot!) and visiting places in my hometown I never got to visit before. And tonight we'll go see a movie, Please give, and go out for dinner. I wish it would never end...! 

berlin random

Some random pictures with strange effects, the last ones!

polaroid day : irma boom

Last week I went to see the Irma Boom exhibition 'Biography in Books' in Amsterdam. Boom is a graphic designer who mostly designs books: unusual books, colourful books, extremely large and small books. Just look at the catalogue of her exhibition. It's only 5 cm, but contains 700 pages! 

must-see-monday : olle eksel

In Berlin I stumbled upon this book about Olle Eksel, a Swedish graphic designer (1918-2007). The sweet drawing on the cover attracted me and when I took a peek inside I knew I wanted it! The illustrations, mostly made in the 50's and 60's, are so lovely, friendly and simple. It's a book to look into over and over again.

berlin eating

As you might know my boyfriend and I are vegan. Sometimes this is a problem when eating outside, but not in Berlin! This is by far the most vegan friendly city I know. It made me extremely happy to see so many places offering a vegan option. From vegan fast food and cheese to ice cream and iced coffees, we had it all! 

a soya latte, I had a lot of these!

Cafe Vux, a vegan lunchrooom
