Thursday evening was a big fashion day. There were so many things to do, such as Miele Catwalk, the Arrow event, the FFI lunch and then there was the opening of Mr + Mrs Tweed. Just two houses away from Lily, the new hotspot in Mechelen opened its doors. Kelli, the owner of both shops, did such a great job! Not only do I love the Lily shop ever since I walked in, but now I’m also in love with the totally different design of the Mr + Mrs Tweed store. Oh and also worth mentioning: the clothes, of course! What’s there to shop? For the ladies: Rules by Mary, FCUK, Ganni, Samsoe Samsoe, Dolly & Daisy and many more. For the gentlemen amongst you: Minimum, Selected, Red Collar and again, many more! If you happen to be near Mechelen, make sure you pass by O.-L.-V.-straat 116 to shop your everyday classics! It’s so worth it !

As you all know, this post appears once a month and is made for dudes. This time, I have a special type in mind: the skater boys. In 1996 the Antwerp skating scene was small and the city didn’t offer as many skate shops as it does now. But when ‘Lockwood‘ was born, it all changed. The shop was founded by Sven Aerts, who decided to open a shop instead of becoming a professional skater, after visiting the States.

The shop was designed by Nike‘s ex-designer Tony Speckman and it’s quite a tribute to the whole skater scene of those days. I always love a good looking skater boy and especially if he’s wearing these shirts!

For more info, contact info@lockwood.be and for some shopping, visit Ijzerenwaag 3-5, 2000 Antwerpen!

Last week I visited the Bergen pop-up store in Brussels. So stupid of me to not post this earlier, because you could have gone and check it out. By now, they will be long gone… Anyways, the moment I walked in I was a pretty laptop bag. I was eager to know the price but as you can already imagine, it wasn’t affordable – not for me, at least. I snapped some pictures, drank some kind of juice, ate a few snacks and then there was this bag. It looked like it belonged to someone who left it there to go do something… It did belong to someone, but wasn’t being used, let alone being abandoned by its mommy/daddy. It belonged to Michael T Nartey, the designer himself. He showed me the bag from the in – and outside and I just fell completely in love! Such a wonderful man, mister M! Wonderful, talented and soooo nice! If you happen to pass by in his shop in Bergen Oslo, say hi from me ^^
