Winter Fashion

This weekend the second edition of Winter Fashion took place and I am a fan! The concept? 2 fashion(able) friends go to some French fairs, fill their trunk with what they like (needless to say: they have good taste), and organise a shop-for-a-day where you can (and believe me you will...) purchase all the goodies.

The statements pieces were without doubt the sleeveless fur cardigan and flowered pants! My catch: a great comfy cardigan and great basic grey scarf.
To be continued for sure...

The organising team

We LOVE: Souvenirs de Pomme

So last post was about basics... now let's talk statement pieces... Looking for a special jewel? Natan teamed up with Gent-based jewel label 'Souvenirs de Pomme'. The result: Great necklaces that combine the elegancy of Natan with the feminine touch of Souvenirs de Pomme. Christmas time is sort of approaching: a great necklace will bring any outfit to the next level (the WOW level,that is...)

Prices range from 219 euro to 264 euro. Available at the Natan store in Brussels

Going for the basics

Although i love the special item every now and then...never forget about the basics!

Soooo last week I decided to splurge and spoil myself and go for 2 'never out of season and always good when a clothing emergency occurs' (happens AAALL the time...) basics. A black boyfriend blazer by 'By Malene Birger' and some decent black suede ballerina's.

These items are here to stay for sure...I might even go further and say these are a better and safer investment than stocks and shares. Or as Carrie Bradshaw would say: 'I like my money right where I can see it: In my closet.'

Before and After: Coatwise...

About a month ago I spotted a TO DIE for coat by Maliparmi...unfortunatly the price was also...TO DIE for...But if not fortunate, one must be creative. So after a long and, I might add, intensive *search I found a copy at Zara and transformed it by sewing on all different kinds of buttons. And the great part is...now I not only have a completely customized coat, I also enjoyed a relaxing afternoon of stitching.

Check out the before and after part!

* Unbelievable: 4 Zara's with all about 8 of these coats...and NONE in the right size...I had to make a reservation for the piece that was on display in the window...talking about determination.

Dressing party anyone?

Saturday Night... are you up for a dressing party?

Well, may I suggest some veeeeerry nice dresses? And , just for fun, I added some not so nice dresses...what a relief even celebs can look disastrous!



Yellow, i love it!Make sure you pick the right shade of yellow to make it flattering, you do not want to look like a lemon.



Just a hint, this color works on almost everybody!







AAND now the fun part: the bad ones!



This is new...Leighton looking like she robbed a Disney Store.



What is this? Is it a sweater? A dress? A piece of a pyjama? Is it alive?



I'm not even bothering... no comment

Donna Karan 1835 euro (yesss, I said dreaming...)



Lela Rose 1024 euro



Moschino Cheap and Chic 484 euro

Here are some of my current favorite dresses...

2 Hearts Beating Together

It seems Jennifer Lopez and Taylor Swift have something more in common than their singing talent:They share the same shirt! Or how one shirt can fit two different styles...

For the true lovers: the shirt is available at www.wildfoxcouture.com and will set you back 108 dollars... yes love sometimes does hurt...in your wallet.

Finally...A&F in Belgium

Abercrombie & Fitch is coming to Belgium... So you can stop the internet purchases, the trips to London/NY and the facebook group (we want Abercrombie stores in Belgium) because the prayers have been answered.

Next Spring you will be standing in line to enter the Brussels store! Details will surely follow,but... besides the clothes the good news also is that the half naked salesmen will probably be Belgian (and thus within reach, this creates stalking possibilities..)
