I wanna STAY here forever ..

Ever since the Nationalestraat has officially reopened after restoration, fabulous new shops arise in the fashion district. Near the MoMu and Fashion Academy, STAY opened it's doors a couple of weeks ago.

This is my kind of shop : beautiful brands - a coffee space in the back of the store and pretty much everything is for sale ! 

Seriously love their concept. This boutique bar also organises workshops, tastings and a Sunday brunch. You even can 'rent' the venue for a private shopping night : enjoy an evening of shopping, tasting and relaxing with your besties ! 

Cool idea, right ?

Pop in their store when you hit Antwerpen and meet Tinne and Stéphanie Coucke yourself ; submerge in their stunning shop at the Nationalestraat 49 {and like them on Facebook too}

Nathalie Lachat & Joy Anne Thielemans

Friday was the kickstart of Fashion Night Out in Antwerp. Loads of shops participating in this late night shopping event with tons of goodies and extras to be experienced.
Garde-Robe Nationale, a shop run by Nathalie Lachat, had a late night opening to and together with Yelp they organised a lovely contest. After cocktails and wine, everyone had to hit the streets of fashionable Antwerp and tried to take the best fashion picture so they could win a weekend in a 5***** hotel !
Wepa !!

Joy Anna Thielemans (actress and always full of 'joy') did some takes for Volt (pretty soon to be seen on national television) and was so kind to pose with a sweet message for my 9 year old son Sebastian !! He will be over the moon as he has a little crush on her ..

Thank you Nathalie, for being such a perfect hostess (you're the mostest !) and one of these days I will come back to try on some pretty stuff I spotted hanging on your racks. The bird print dress and night blue glittery skirt were my favourites.
