Hotel La Legende: A Stylish Breakfast in Brussels, Belgium

Exclusive, freshly renovated: some pictures of the “new” breakfast room in the charming Hotel La Legend. When you’re traveling, if you prefer feeling at home, here’s a rare address: a small family hotel with 27 rooms, including a nice studio in the attic, in the heart of Brussels. The hotel is located 10 minutes from the Sablons, one of my favorite neighborhoods and less than 5 minutes from the Grand Place, but away from crowds. I enjoy its calm and friendly atmosphere. And I really like the new design of the breakfast room: extremely simple in white ivory, chic and very contemporary. It was quite difficult for me to leave the room, as I felt relaxed and comfortable. When I’m traveling, breakfast is a very important time, where I plan my day to come. I need to find myself in an intimate and clear space. Just like here, with these large windows overlooking the courtyard which separates the noise from the street.

To Rome With Love, the last movie of Woody Allen @ Brussels Film Festival

Tonight, it’s the Brussels Film Festival opening, but since this morning the press has watched a preview of films to be shown in the following days. At 12.30 p.m. I discovered the last Woody Allen. The Manatthan director continues piano piano his European tour with Roma, the eternal city: To Rome With Love. A bunch of famous actors, Alec Baldwin, Ellen Page, Penelope Cruz, Roberto Benigni. No real surprise, a quite predictable nice movie, sometimes overplayed. Far from the brilliant Match Point and the vulcanic Vicky Cristina Barcelona. But I really enjoyed the opera singer in the shower (which comes as a gimmick, I promise I will not say more …), plus few lines of dialogue played by Woody Allen. Well let’s say if you just want to relaxe and make a Roman pause or ballad (full of clichés), without expecting to a great Woody Allen: you will enjoy this movie.

Brussels, Belgium: Swinging Silk of Hermès & Hunting and Collecting @ Mr Wong

Last night, it was the first party of Swinging Silk, hosted by Hermès and Hunting and Collecting at Mr. Wong. There were Hermès scarves everywhere (some really great!) and Rock’n’Roll looks and atmosphere: concert, dance class and snack like in Grease! The party theme reminded me the world of Jack’s Vintage Clothing, focus on the 50s and 60s America. Oops, but yesterday, I missed the point (lol): the dress code between pinup and Fonzy’s buddies! You could also get a tattoo (not a real one). Great evening with a taste of summer (too bad it was raining lol)!
