Brogues



my 3 fave it-and fashion girls : Sienna, Garance & Olivia ...


I like shoes. I'm not a shoe addict but I like my shoes to make a statement. I usually wear a lot of black, grey and nightblue so my shoes don't need to be demure. They have to clash !! I found some great shoes the other day at Marcoz*. They have a small selection but a GREAT choice. You just need to be quick if you really like that special pair. That makes me happy. Not to see the same pair on every corner.
Today I found some brogues** at their shop (again). The people are superfriendly and very helpful. What can't be said about that other shop at the Schuttershofstraat. I guess they just hire rude people with a smug face.
But I'm drifting : go and check their shop out ! With my compliments.

George Michael loves Belgian design

Did you hear the new single 'True Faith' by George Michael ? Not only did he cover a New Order song (one of my alltime favourite groups) but surprised us with a new look ; his glasses !

The glasses were designed bij Tim Van Steenbergen for THEO, one of our most famous (sun)glasses label in Belgium. Hubby wears THEO specs for years now (and is in desperate need to get some new ones confirmed by his optician).

What do you guys think about his new look ?

Timeless, I guess so





After so long I'm longing for another bag. I've been "shopping-bag-free" for 2 years. My big black Birkin was always at my side but I have to admit, it's a very heavy bag. Especially when it leaves you the space for loads of stuff and crap. The bigger the bag - the havier the load of crap will be.
Have to admit - a Birkin gives you free entrance and acces to lots of stuff. People do judge you by your bag. Sloppy jeans and old coat don't matter ; you have THE bag on your arm. It's like a VIP backstage pass.
Sounds surreal ? Well it's true.
Now, the new bag I have on my mind, is on the market for a while. It's a winner.
There's a possibility I don't get the chance to get 1. Apparently Fendi has a listing - almost like the Birkin bag.
We'll see... I'll just leave you with some yummie Peek-a-boo bag pictures. What's you favourite colour ?
