New house decorating, rehearsing for a new play, and preparing for a wedding. The life of Carolien Spoor is in sixth gear. Just take a look.

1. Yesterday was the festive opening of Jo Malone, one of the most delicious fragrance brands in the world. After smelling almost all the scents in the testing area together with Marly, we had to hang our noses in the coffee beans for a few minutes. Final verdict: Lime&Basil is our favorite.

2. After this rainy week, I'm really considering emigrating to a sunny place! Luckily, I was rainproof thanks to this Piogg Raincoat. Now just need some rain pants... Any tips for one that is also stylish??

3. My newest fashion acquisition of the week: these earrings from the Dutch brand VanderBorne. After the inspiring earring story from May-Britt yesterday at RTL Boulevard, I'm also thinking about getting an extra hole pierced.. @May: shall we go together??

4. Last week, the STIJL Maastricht team traveled all the way to Amsterdam for the new photoshoot for the webshop. Hôtel Droog served as the backdrop for the shoot, which was quite dangerous for me: all the design items that were there immediately disappeared into my imaginary shopping bag for the new house.

5. I know, I'm way behind, but I have also become hooked on Pinterest. For every part of our new house, I have now made a mood board. I immediately ‘pinned’ this kitchen with a beautiful concrete countertop from Loods 5.
