At Home in Brussels

Space, loads and loads of space. How I miss my affordable Brussels apartment. Of course, I am thrilled to be in London - a city that never sleeps and that embraces fully the Christmas spirit - but boy do I miss the space, I won't even mention the closet space :/ We have finally settled in, and just in time for Christmas may I add. As I was browsing my computer, it hit me that I had never shared with you were I lived in Brussels. So I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to share with you the things I miss most about my Brussels apartment. Both my friends and my boyfriend taunt me on the fact that I have a huge box and jar fetish. The jars full of - now uneatable - marshmallows was a brilliant idea I stole from Dorothy. Hopefully, I can share soon pictures form our London apartment too.

In cannes

I am finally on vacation and I have to say it feels great. One of my favorite things to do in Cannes - appart from doing absolutely nothing - is to go to the market in the 'vieux' Cannes. You just can't go wrong with all the fresh fruit & veg, fish, spices and teh most amazing flowers.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I just really needed some time off and to myself. However the month of September will be packed with exiting new projects, amazing giveaways and a lot of posts. So be prepared.

As per tradition we spent an afternoon walking around (and getting lost) in Le Maris. I love this neighborhood, especially during the week when it's quieter, as it is always changing and moving. There are always new shops popping up left and right, new restaurants to try out and new bars to discover. We stumbled upon Le Dépanneur Fricote which is a fleeting shop that sells all things made in the US - from marshmallow fluff to fuit loops, from Opinels to barbecue sauce, from Betty Crocker chap sticks to Mac & cheese  ... However, it is only open until the 23 April so if you are in Paris go and check them out and  stock up on all things american. If not you can always check out Yumise. They sell all of this stuff online, however they only ship to France at the moment, hopefully this will change some time soon. Thanks to the guys in the shop for sharing the website with us - a delicious find.

Smets Premium store 650-652 Chaussée de Louvain | B-1030 Bruxelles

No Concept  Avenue louise 94c |  B-1050 Bruxelles Rue du Postillon 2 | B-1180 Bruxelles Rue du Doyenne 83 | B-1180 Bruxelles Chaussée de waterloo | 1449, B-1180 Bruxelles

I went to Smets' official opening last week and I have to say that the store is pretty impressive (and by impressive  I mean huge) and it's a gorgeous place to spent an hour of so browsing through all the amazing stuff - I could never afford :) No Concept, on the other hand is packed full of wonderful brands often found no where else in Brussels, and it's the perfect place to find bday presents if you are ever at a loss.  So, when in Brussels why not stop by!
