BXL walk : Rue du Page & La Meute

We are city hikers! We love to walk in cities, as well as in nature actually. It's such a good way to discover an area or to rediscover your own neighborhood. I love "Rue du Page" in Ixelles, it's walking distance from our place and makes me feel abroad.... It could be Berlin, Stockholm or just some place nice elsewhere.   We bumped into the recently opened La Meute shop. A collection of bizarre and quirky things, yet you feel the beauty.  I liked many of the out of the ordinary objects, the lovely mugs, the porcelain rabbit piggy bank, the little black notebooks, the black dresses... Everything is carefully selected in a dark and cool mood. 

 I loved this argentic photograph, which of course was a bit pricy...

Here are some other cool stop-worthy shops on that same "Rue du Page" 

Wineshop Basin Marot who sells lots of natural bottles to good restos

Fixerati for the bike lovers (fixed gears though) 

Luxury Vintage shop

 Yummy lunch place

After this cold walk, we were in need to sit and drink a hot beverage, so we stopped at The Coffee Parlor, a new place around the corner from our apartment. It's pretty cosy and the owner is a young couple so good luck to them with their project!

Baby shopping

The cool thing about girlfriends having babies is that I have a very good excuse to go shopping, shopping for baby of course!  I recently discovered an interesting shop on my bike route on the way home, and finally took the time to stop by.

This is Diane von Furstenberg's little pop-up store (only one in the world) and yes it's in Brussels. You also find this exclusive collection in some of the GAP stores in other countries. DvF created baby and kid's clothes is association with GAPKids, which means all these cute girly items are affordable.

Cute dress with inside mini short.

Lovely little body with hearts.

For little baby Olivia I choose this pretty orange dress, based on the iconic wrap dress by DvF.  Dressed in style for summer.

Anyway if you got girls pregnant around you or with kids... go take a look at the rue du Grand Cerf 18 in Brussels, the store is open till the end of June. Then another concept will pop-up....
