THE EDITORIAL: BACKSTAGE PREVIEW

Long term readers may remember that November is a special month to me: on the 30th it's my blog birthday! This year my blog is turning 5, which actually quite surprised me. On one hand it feels like I've been doing this since for-ever (which is probably true, me being a screenager writing away on the world wide web) but on the other hand I've only recently started seeing Polienne as more than just a fun hobby. Especially 2014 has been a real special year for the blog, involving lovely business trips, exciting brand collaborations and extremely cool projects still to launch. My focus has been shifting from merely sharing fun stuff to really creating interesting content for you guys and my visitor numbers have been growing ever since, which is extremely rewarding!

Now, in order to celebrate this 5 year anniversary I wanted to do something fun and inventive that would bring together different aspects of my life. I didn't really see myself jumping around in front of the Eiffel tower at sunset holding 5 huge silver balloons, so instead I worked together with a creative team to create a cool editorial! Photographers Jan & Jorre, make-up artist Sabine Peeters, stylist Stéphanie Bosten and I collected all of our individual inspiration and bundled it in a real cool moodboard. Surprisingly, we had so many great pics that we could even divide our shoot into two different editorials! Today it's time for a backstage sneak peek, but tomorrow the real deal will be online. Make sure to come back and check out our editorial from 7AM! Hope you're having a lovely Sunday in the meantime! x
