I'M A FAN OF SOPHIE HELSMOORTEL'S STYLE.

SOPHIE RUNS CACHEMIRE COTON SOIE IN BRUSSELS. WHEN YOU ARE IN THIS SHOP YOU JUST WANT EVERYTHING AND FIND THAT, DEFINITELY, NOTHING WOULD BE SUPERFLUOUS... THE THING IS YOU CAN FIND THE BEST CUTS IN THE BEST QUALITY FABRICS, WHATEVER THE BRAND IS, WELL KNOWN OR HUNT OUT BY SOPHIE DURING HER NUMEROUS TRIPS THROUGHOUT EUROPE.

I WAS LUCKY TO WORK WITH SOPHIE LAST YEAR AND HAVE SOME TIME TO ADMIRE THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS THAT SURROUND HER, BEYOND THE SHOP'S MUST HAVE (LIKE THESE GENUINE PANAMA, GUY LAROCHE PANTS, K JACQUES ST TROPEZ SANDALS OR THE SOFIE D'HOORE DRESS). I WILL NEVER FORGET THE VISIT AT HER FRIEND THE FLORIST THIERRY BOUTEMY WHERE SHE DROVE ME: A GREAT TIME! ALSO, I WISH I COULD FIND THE TIME TO MAKE PHOTOS OF HER AWSOME FLAT TO SHOW YOU... FINGERS CROSSED.

PS: HELLO ASHLEY, KRISTINA... SOPHIE WEARS ITALIAN SHOES THAT SHE SELLS IN HER SHOP. I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE IT'S POSSIBLE TO BUY THEM. THE BRAND, QUITE UNKNOWN (THEN NOT VERY EXPENSIVE) BUT EXCELLENT IS "BISCONTI". I LOVE THAT SOPHIE MIXES SUCH KIND OF BRANDS WITH FAMOUS ONES IN HER SELECTION: SO "SINCERE"!
