Brussels For a Day

Belgium has been my home away from home for so many years that sometimes I take Brussels for granted when in fact it provides wonderful photographic opportunities. Besides being a shopping hub for me, it is also a big city full of quaint squares and charming streets, brimming with tourists and locals and semi-locals like moi (here I am at the Grand Place in the Chanel bow sweater from the 14P season).

Not far from any madding crowds are the requisite Belgian sweet shops, but the sweetest of all is the French import, Ladurée, in the most exquisite building on Place Sablon.

As with most large European capitals, Brussels is a mix of historical building and American joints like Starbucks and McDo. 

So that’s just a few things that you may randomly see in Brussels. But don’t get too comfortable on your sofa yet, dear readers. Put your walking shoes on. My bags are packed, my tweed sneakers need to get broken-in, and we’re heading back out!
