(Remember Giulia? She has three boys now and recently moved to Brussels after Eritrea and a few years in India.) I plan to take S to Antwerp and probably Ghent (and maybe Bruges if it&#8217;s not too touristy). But stay tuned because next week while I&#8217;m gone we&#8217;ll be previewing all our new spring patterns, so be sure to visit every day to see them. I&#8217;m really excited to finally share them!
