Prada Spring 2012

A pair of vehicles for your feet! Car shoes existed from a while back. So Prada is not the first one to come up with this idea, well maybe they did it in more elegant way. But let’s face it who would dare to wear them anyway?

This is for our Ladies readers, what to expect in Spring/Summer 2012. I know we are just getting into winter season and it might be to early to talk about warm seasons but if you are going over your closet now to put away summer clothes and to maybe thinking of getting rid of some summer things as least you will know what would be great to keep for next warm season. Here is a little trend sneak peak from clothes to accessories; Get ready for a lot of brights, combinations of multi pastel colors, bright  floral and geometric prints. Pastel color Sequence tops, semi-sheer knits and metallic yarns. Feminine and delicate feel all thought out collections for Spring/Summer 2012. I say a lot of looks are very 1950s inspired, great time to hit a good vintage store for some of these looks! 

Early evening breakfast ?

Fair Food cafe.

Goat-cheese salad with apple 

vegetable omelet 

You like breakfast but you were parting or working all night or you have no job and you are not an earlybird? You can go to Fair Food! They normally have breakfast till 12:00 PM but most of the times ( like today) they served us till 05:00 PM. We had like a 'Boeren omelet' (omelet with tomatoes, paprika's and mushrooms including healthy dark bread on the side ), salad with goat cheese and apples , coffee and thee. It's not a Michelin restaurant but its defiantly a good cafe that you leave with a satisfied feeling. For the food mentioned above we paid around 30 euros. They have also 3 kind of soups and different kind of salads. All food is organic.

The place itself has rather a vintage feeling. For the summer they have a nice sitting outside. Its on the antique shopping streets so it perfectly fits in the  environment. In the cafe they sell organic products like beer, orange juice, liqueur,........

If you ever want to visit it...and if you do, let us know...

Tea time!

  When Thomas an I have our tea time, we use these cups now because they make our tea time so much more special! 

I went to a local Habitat store in Antwerp the other day looking for a birthday gift…. while wondering around the store I saw a new table set with these beautiful, with totally original prints on dishes, each piece is one of a kind art work (prints are mixture of fine art + graffiti)! I almost cried because they reminded me so much of few Brooklyn stores that have these type of style things and dish ware. They are sooo New York!  I could not resist and get us a tea set. I wish I can have a whole set.  :-(
This set was designed by an Italian girl who just graduated from Royal Collage of Art in London. I am all about helping the young talent!
They are all made from Porcelain (Fine Bone China), so that makes them very delicate and light. You can not microwave and put them in dishwasher. I think this is something that you will not be embarrassed to pass to your grandkids, I tell you that. They might even think that you were really cool at some point in life. :-)

Theory of New Elegance

Theyskens' Theory's wedges they are so original and elegant. These statement shoes demand full attention! Everyone who knows me, know that I love wedges, these are one of my favorite wedges for this Fall. I love the way the upper looks, like a suede shoes have been dipped in black shiny paint just half way. 

Thanks to these shoes I am on the same eye level with my boyfriend. :-)  

You can get them at net-a-porter.com they ship anywhere in Europe and US!
