Brussels, Belgium: avenue Louise, place Stéphanie, Toison d’or

Great Chrimas decoration, the Hermès front boutique : boulevard de Waterloo 50, 1000 Brussels. Oh you look for a shopping more rock’n’rolla, don’t you? Go directly avenue Louise to Zadig & Voltaire (n°92), Comptoir des Cotonniers (n°76), Gérard Darel (n°23) and Neuhaus (n°61A) for the famous Belgian chocolates.

In winter, forget the small garden of the Sofitel Brussels Le Louise, for its cosy Crystal Lounge for drinks only. Ok the decoration is not wow, but the atmosphere is really laid back and relaxing with a warm fire place : 40 avenue de la Toison d’Or, 1050 Brussels. Picture below, something new for me here : a high tech (?) bus shelter with a TV playing again and again the trailer of Avatar. Well well…

Bruxelles, Belgique: avenue Louise, place Stéphanie, Toison d’or

Déco top et simplissime de Noël, la façade de la boutique Hermès : boulevard de Waterloo 50, 1000 Bruxelles. A la recherche d’un shopping plus rock’n’roll, filez avenue Louise chez Zadig & Voltaire (n°92), Comptoir des Cotonniers (n°76), Gérard Darel  (n°23)  and  Neuhaus  (n°61A)  pour les excellents chocolats belges.

La terrasse enneigée du Sofitel Brussels Le Louise : très peu pour moi! Je préfère son agréable Crystal Lounge, pour un verre uniquement. Ok déco déjà vue et revue, mais le  feu de cheminée apporte une touche relaxante et on s’y sent bien : 40 Avenue de la Toison d’Or, 1050 Bruxelles. Ci-dessous, une petite curiosité : l’abribus high tech (?) avec télé intégrée et en boucle la promo… Bof…

Casba, Tokyo nights: meeting Reiko and MAX

Karaoke Exit

Christophe, Franck and I are moving to Casba. Finding the entrance is a big challenge! Wow midnight, nobody yet: too early! Reiko, the boss, is calling, she’s in a cab, on her way:

– I am Tokyo.

Really confidential small bar, where instantly you feel good and beatiful! Only “regular” (from all over the world) know it. And tonight my new tomodachi (friends) are Nana (picture above) and Reina, two membres of the famous Jpop girls band, MAX:

 – We are the Japanese Spice Girls.

Reiko Agrees And Shows Me

her Hello Kitty and Keith Harring tatoos and talks about her last trip in Hawaii, her strict education and advertising studies. A creative who loves movies and nights:

– My life is nightlife. Since I was 18 years old, I’ve organised parties.

She explains after his first Dior collection, Hedi Slimane visit her. Balenciaga team booked the bar for a night, Sofia and Roman C. (Yes « lost in Translation » family)… Well almost “all” Paris, NY and LA come here. Reiko is a charming free character like her “baby” Casba, between Gloria (Cassavetes) and Warhol posters, fashion books, eclectic cds and pieces of chats interrupted by many laughs: campaï! Of course, at night everything is more beautiful!

Reina and Nana 

Reiko, Nana, Reina, Christophe and Franck: domo arigato gosaimasu to you guys!

Casba: Wakamatsu Building B1F 2-14-15, Tokyo, 150-0001, Higashi Shibuya-ku
