What to wear crisis in Brussels

In continuation of what I have posted for the 'Fans of Flanders'...Here I talk about my other blog Street Tailors.

Since I am a street style blogger it is a part of my daily routine to observe how people dress. Even if I don’t have a camera with me (which I usually do) I just can’t stop looking. I must say I get some reactions because of that, but who would like to be gazed at from head to toe? However this is not what I actually wanted to talk about.

While I’m writing this post the sun is shining brightly and it is 15 C degrees outside (pretty good weather for Belgium?!). At this point if you would have a ‘what to wear?’ crisis and look at people through the window, you could never decide what to wear.  I mean this is what I used to do all my life – I would just look through the window and decide what to wear, because people dress accordingly to the weather (at least in my country). Yeah right, in Belgium it would never work!

Today I see people wearing sweaters, t-shirts, fur coats, boots, shorts, sandals, leather jackets….and the list is endless! How could I ever dress accordingly to the weather?

So you just have to take a risk. Whatever you decide to wear it is not going to work, or will work for 5 minutes and after an hour maybe for another five minutes. This is what you have to deal with when you are living in Belgium. Constant change of weather, constant headache of what to wear!

From another point of view you get the absolute freedom to choose from all over your wardrobe!

P.S. Don’t forget to take an umbrella with you!

To Tame The City

Doesn’t matter to which city you move, doesn’t matter if it’s abroad or in your country, it takes time to feel like at home.

In the beginning you have no idea which bus to take to get to the center, where to get your morning coffee, in which park to read your book or from which rooftop you can see the best city view. I must tell it is a bit confusing but most of the time so exciting!

Little by little you get to know the streets, the neighborhood, the people…  You get to know the selling lady in your local boulangerie, the best vegetable market, the best coffee places, the best bars to hang out with your new friends…Little by little you learn how to avoid traffic jams and little presents of the dogs left on the pavement. It starts to be your home with all the pluses and minuses and yet it is like never ending discovery. And that is what I love the most about living in a new city…when you start having this cozy feeling and yet still you learn something new every day. You still get lost in the little streets of the city however the journey becomes much easier!

I love living in my new city – Brussels. I have not tamed it yet, however I hope I will never do…it is so much more exciting this way!

Table For Two

What I love about living in Brussels is the unexpected!

Every single day you can take the same road and find something different on the way. Like the other day I was passing through the Mont des Arts and I noticed a table set up for two with candles and champagne glasses...I guess it was a pleasant surprise for somebody! Soooooo romantic!

Brussels Vintage Market

For those who like Vintage markets or those who have always secretely wanted to visit one I would strongly recommend Brussels Vintage Market! It's organised every first Sunday of the month in a different location. So make sure to check their schedule.

For more information go ahead and check their website!

I can't wait for the next one!

Bisous!

from Brussels to Paris

I've been missing Paris lately...

(I took this picture on my last trip to Paris)

It's really cheap to go to Paris from Brussels (50 euros by train back and forth, if you  buy a ticket in advance).
Recentely I've found even a cheaper way - Megabus ~25 euros both ways! Check it on their website.

Bon voyage!

Dinant is Grand

Lovely Dinant!

If you are spending more then few days in Belgium, I would really advise you to visit Dinant!

Le Framboisier Doré

Searching for some home made ice cream in Brussels?

I can not say if Le Framboisier Doré has the best ice cream, but it definitely has the best look! It is charming and a bit creepy at the same time..

Too sad it was really cold and rainy yesterday and eating  ice cream would have meant catching the cold...but I promise that the next sunny day I will make a trip and try it. I bet they are good!

For ones who will search for it  - the address is: Rue du Bailli 35, Bruxelles.

And I know I probably overworked with the photos....but it was asking for kind of old school touch!

Bon appetit!

Jazzy people

I met this charming lady during the the Jazz Marathon in Brussels. I just love her old fashioned glasses! And the whole look is great!

While it is really weird for me to stop people in the streets and ask them to pose...it is a really nice surprise to see, how some people are open to be photographed and accept the offer with a great smile!

Have a nice Sunday everyone!

Brussels Jazz // Nu Jazz Project // Angela Ricci

What a weekend!

Brussels Jazz Festival was B E A U T I F U L! So many funky places, so many artists and so many good looking people!

I really loved Nu Jazz Project with a super cute singer Angela Ricci! Check out her video here! I told you she is cute!

More pictures from the festival are coming right up!

Old fashioned goodness

I just love this logo! So old fashioned, so cool, so extra white! Perfect for a hot almost summer day...and I mean the logo and the beer!

Mua!
