.htaccess doesn't work on VirtualHost - wordpress

Question

Since I've setup a wildcard VirtualHost my htaccess files does not work anymore
The http-vhosts.conf
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName default.dev
VirtualDocumentRoot /Users/[UserName]/Sites/%-2
<Directory /Users/[UserName]/Sites/%-2>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
the .htaccess (WordPress default)
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I can access http://wordpress.dev and also the backend but not a page like http://wordpress.dev/page (causes a 404 error).
I can set the permalink structure to default but I would like to have "nice URLs"
I'm on a local development environment on Mac OS X 10.10 with Apache 2.4

Change your VirtualHost definition to:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName default.dev
VirtualDocumentRoot /Users/[UserName]/Sites/%-2
<Directory /Users/[UserName]/Sites>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
i.e, root the directory definition to Sites, not to the virtual directory.
