It’s Queensday tomorrow! Since I’m not an original Dutchie, this will be the first time I get to witness this crazy festivity. Apparently, I have no idea what’ll happen tomorrow. It’ll be crazy, that’s for sure. But you’re probably wondering if I’ll be as crazy as everybody else and go for a total orange look… Of course not! I found myself something awesome: this Kenzo lookalike sweater that says King Alex. I thought it was appropriate, since Prince Willem-Alexander becomes a King tomorrow. Paired with a simple jeans, my pair of cut-out Topshop boots and a bottle of rosé in my hand. Long Live The New King!

If you thought I’d leave you hanging with a video only, you were wrong lovelies! Here are some pictures I took during my stay, all with Nikon 1. I didn’t see much of the city, which is realy disappointing because I was curious to see the difference between Madrid and Barcelona. The buildings looked newer (not more modern per se) to me and the streets a bit cleaner. I’ve visited the Chueca district on Friday but didn’t get to enter the concept store Do, because they were on a – very long – lunch break and Maddie had to catch her flight. Check her blog out, it’s as good as hanging with her in Madrid !

Luckily, I have a lot of time left to visit Madrid and so many other cities and countries… Have you been to Madrid already?

Two days in Madrid, who declines such an offer? I didn’t, so off I went – completely underdressed – to the capital city of España. Totally surprised that the lovely people from C&A picked me amongst other good Belgian bloggers to attend the official kick-off of their Reimagine Design Challenge. Their what now?

Reimagine stands for challenging eight young and upcoming European designers to make something out of 200 plastic spoons, forks, knives and cups. We couldn’t see the designs just yet but since January 24th, you can follow their design adventure on the C&A Facebook page or follow it all on Twitter: #reimagine. For 12 weeks straight, designers will be challenged to make something extraordinary and to reimagine the future of clothing. Quite a smart way of C&A to get a new brand image.

I can’t wait to see the outcome and other work by the lovely designers. But for now, I want to say: thank you C&A for having me!!!
