Hello I'm Caterina from Not Just A Pretty Dress and I'm delighted to be here while Rachel is enjoying her amazing holiday. When she told me about her trip to Europe, I was impressed by her itinerary as she is basically going to visit some of my favorite European cities. Alas Brussels - where I'm currently living - was not on her list; therefore, I thought about sharing some fashionable bits of the Belgian capital.

Our virtual tour should start from the birthplace of one of the most beloved fashion icons of all times. Audrey Hepburn was born in Brussels and her home is conveniently located next to Les Brassins, a brasserie where it is possible to taste delicious, traditional meals.

Belgium has a great fashion tradition and living here made me discover many niche local labels such as Rue Blanche and Just In Case, where I go especially for their beautiful skirts and dresses, and Les Precieuses for the best costume jewelry in town. My favourite shopping area of the city is around the Rue Antoine Dansaert and you can find additional suggestions here.

Thanks to the blog I have the chance to meet many interesting people and I would like to share the links to the blogs of some fashionable Belgian & expat friends: Jess In Belgium for musings on lifestyle and travels, Al from The Red Dot for her beautiful illustrations and style, and Elke's Binocular Imprints for her inspiring photography & her The Shophopper for great advice on Belgian boutiques.

Rachel, thank you so much for having me today and see you soon in Paris!
