Since Bonnie and Jane opened its store just behind Place Brugmann, in the Ixelles district, it has become one of my favorite addresses for multi-brand women clothing in Brussels. The tiring search for clothes in an infinite number of franchising shops in busy streets is over: at Bonnie and Jane, I am always sure to find clothes that are feminine, timeless and built to last.
Visiting Bonnie and Jane’s boutique offers a moment of relaxation. The shop is nicely decorated and almost feels like home. Clothes and accessories are displayed in cabinets, on shelves, on tables and there are plants all around that are also for sale. There is even a small courtyard at the back of the shop. The neighbourhood is very relaxing too, with stylish houses and small streets with plenty of independent shops.
At Bonnie and Jane, I find my favourite brands that represent an audacious and free woman with a casual look, I just love it! Mainly French and Italian brands, such as Chloé Stora, Ma Poesie, Pomandere, Monomi, but also Belgian, Danish and Korean designers. There is also a sophisticated selection of jewels, perfumes and bags. The two young ladies running the store have put a lot of care into selecting always new and contemporary brands, with more and more attention to organic materials. They are also very kind and let you look around without pressure.
If you happen to be in this neighbourhood, don’t miss Bonnie and Jane, it's open on Sundays.

They serve New York style pizza, so thin and huge. You can choose among the classic Margherita, Pepperoni (with spicy salami), and the pizza of the month!

Sando is a nice nickname Japanese use for sandwiches. I love it! Sandwiches have a sauce more or less spicy and are filled with veggies and/or meat or tofu.

There's nothing in Brussels like "Le Corbeau". It's a brasserie, a local restaurant/bar, but at night it becomes the opposite of Cinderella's fairytale...

"Coundenberg 66" Brussels is a magnificent building from 1898. It used to house La pharmacie anglaise de Charles Delacre and has many interesting features.

The "Zinneke" in Brussels is a statue of a dog that, to me, is an accurate symbol of my city with so many contrasts, but that likes to laugh about them...

"La Cambre Abbey" is an abbey tucked away in a corner of a small square in Brussels. I'm sure most visitors never notice it. It's a precious gem.

"Bois de La Cambre" is the preferred spot for me on a sunny day in Brussels. There is more to this park than a spot to have a picnic.
