Kenzo fanny pack

While our stay in Luxembourg we ended up in this lovely hotel, at only few kilometers from the city center! The ideal place to relax your mind far from the crowds!

Because of the wonderful weather, I finally took the chance and wore a dress! I keep asking myself these days, what's up with this cold and rainy weather?!

As for the fanny pack, I guess I am becoming the queen of it! I still have to show you some great finds, this one from Kenzo is one of my favorites! I love the colors and its fun floral print, not to mention that it matched perfectly with my nails, not quite a coincidence though ♥

This weekend we packed our bags and headed to Luxembourg, a fast decision but definitely a smart one!

I guess the photos speak for themselves, but Luxembourg is really a great city to live in.

Once again a good travel idea, at only few hours away from Paris!

We were lucky to have the sun showing some love while visiting the center of Luxembourg and wondering for hours demanded some comfortable boyfriend jeans and practical sneakers!

One memory to keep: a chocolate cream cake that I couldn't finish because of its unusual size (probably the biggest cake I ever seen)

Isolda London

Isolda team: Alessandra Affonso Ferreira, Maya Pope & Juliana Affonso Ferreira

I met the talented girls from Isolda, last Paris fashion week while they were showing their collection at Le Meurice! I was absolutely thrilled and excited to discover more about the women handling a brand that is absolutely mesmerizing!

In a sea of black, their vibrant and delicate prints were filling the room with Brazilian samba and sun, pretty fantastic right?

It's like looking at a painting and instead of wishing to hang it on your empty walls you just want to wear it and well the samba part doesn't feel that bad either!

What do you say ladies, un poquito de Brazil?! If you're in the search of the joyful print that misses from your closet than Isolda has the good doze of it for each and every one of you!

While our fabulous weekend escape around Chantilly we also visited the surroundings, beautiful castles as the one shown in the photos above, the castle of Ermenonville! In the same cozy little village we discovered and enchanted tea place, if you follow me on instagram you know what I mean!
We had such a great time, that we really want to go back soon: sun checked, fun checked, tea time checked, princess moments checked, cute dress "checked"!
Seriously I could dress in gingham from head to toes, how lovely is my dress, get it here ladies, while it's still hot!

At only few kilometers from Paris, lies the domain of Chantilly (French for whipped cream), an enchanted castle with its magical gardens! The whole region is absolutely breathtaking and there are some secret places that we discovered during our weekend stay!

Sometimes you just need to escape from the crowded city life and Chantilly is one of the most gorgeous country sides around Paris.

We are definitely keen on going back and enjoy the splendid views!

♥ Stay tuned for more and remember to follow me on Instagram for daily updates!

Oh boy...

Asos sequin tee

Vintage skirt and sequin fanny pack

Jeffrey Campbell shoes

I would have loved wearing this outfit on the Riviera, but I can dream about it !

Black and white is not very often on my outfit menu, but it is not that bad surprising yourself from time to time, am I right?!

I think I actually love black and white outfits, more than I love all black or all white ones.

Lately, I've been obsessing over fanny packs, I am starting to make quite a collection!

This sequin one is so disco and why not wearing sequins on sequins?!

Boy...I had fun in styling this outfit! What do you think?

PFW looks recap

2013-05-08T22:31:00.000+02:00

I was going through my fashion archives and I thought I should make a recap of my looks from Paris fashion week !
Going through your own style lookbook it's a good exercise to see how you are evolving from one season to another, either it is for fashion week or not !
Styling never gets boring this way, analyzing each and every detail can definitely boost your confidence and ofc course teach you few lessons about what should you or shouldn't wear !

Which one of these selected looks was your favorite ?! I would also love to know what you didn't like !

Have a lovely night ♥

Orange, green and other fabulous bright colors

Asos coat & skirt

Vintage sweater, necklace & bag

Céline sunglasses

Topshop heels

This very colorful and happy outfit was probably hiding the fact that I am sick and in order to mask certain issues such as a pale face and a nasty fever, bright colors came in as a quite handy solution for me !

Orange and green go fabulous together, don't you think?! Adding a flashy neon to that is like adding the cherry on top ♥

How much yellow can you handle?!

Asos trench

Vintage sweater

H&M skirt

Vintage sheer skirt

Asos clutch

Nike sneakers

The sun felt out of his element, so why not "wake" him up by adding a bit of his favorite yellow!

I personally know a lot of people who hate yellow, probably because it's too flashy and you can't wear it without being too noticed!

I know, I probably look like an Easter egg, but it's one of those happy colors that make me feel happy:)

The most romantic moments I've experienced where the ones that happened on a rainy day, maybe it's all about Paris, maybe it's not, but it does have a certain charm ! You may as well think, what an idea to wear lace and sandals on such weather... but then again it has its second charm to look stupid and crazy wearing something similar on such weather !
Thanks to the celebration of the 1st of May, I haven't seen Paris so empty since last August when all Parisians were gone for vacation ! I absolutely love the empty streets and the lack of traffic, almost gives me the impression that I am living in an unknown parallel universe, where I get to keep the Parisian magic and enjoy the city life without waiting in line for anything !

We spend our weekend at the Cité des sciences, the perfect place for science and technology lovers !

Also, the ideal place to train your mind a little and escape the routine !

We discovered the amazing 360° cinema and we were quite impressed, you should all try it if you get the chance !

After a whole day of theories and interesting discussions concerning Leonardo da Vinci's works, I had a very contemplative time with myself, but I won't bore you with all of that since it's not really fashion oriented :-)

Have a great week ♥

Paris is so lovely when it's sunny and there are so many beautiful green spaces and colorful flowers all around, ideal to just take a break and clean your mind!

I wanted to style a casual chic outfit, very girlish and fun!

It all started with this pink pleated skirt, to which I added a basic t-shirt in a pale pink color and a cute paisley blazer! Accessorized it with some cool ethnic boots, my favorite vintage Dior bag in the same earth tones and a clear statement necklace.

Easy isn't it?! Would you wear it?!

Have a wonderful weekend ♥

2me STYLE swarovski iphone case

Harajuku Lovers heels

A huge embellished cross?! As a fashion reference it immediately made me think at the emblematic Versace cross, especially one that is so bling, covered in colourful stones that we've seen in hundreds of editorials!

I was lucky enough to find this one and I must say it's pretty rare to find an original version!

Fabulous day to take my old Harajuku Lovers for a walk, the most exciting part when it comes to these babies are their soles, always been obsessed with their childish design!

In order to add more bling, my super swarovski iPhone case became the perfect jewelery!

I've been searching everywhere for a trasparent, yet chic coat and when I found this one from Manoush, the surprise was even better, as it's not only transparent, but it has a gorgeous lace underneath!

It immediately made me think of Valentino, so I thought it's definitely a must have that I should own !

It's a versatile piece, that can bring a new twist to any outfit, at least that's how I am seeing it !

What about those absolutely gorgeous lace gloves?! Gloves are back in trends, especially the lace ones! You can find beautiful ones here

I decided to make it a bit quirky by mixing lace with denim and jacquard, some fabrics that don't necessary go well together !

A fun, yet sober look for a chic Parisian afternoon ♥

What can possibly feel better, than a fresh afternoon enjoying the sun and nature full time?!

The last look from our vacation in Provence and finally the chance to go out in pretty dresses! This one that I am wearing is from an old collection from H&M and I like to call it the "surf dress", the print makes me imagine some wild waves in Australia and blue infinites!

The neon and neoprene trends are definitely not stepping back this season and I couldn't be happier!

Let's bring color into your lives ♥

Probably the best shooting back in March, while our vacation in the south of France. I pretty much enjoyed being the Pom-Pom girl at the pool ! Look at those pretty details on my skirt, isn't that Moschino skirt a stunner?! So many influences in only one place, it sort of looks like a magical carpet ...

You will of course notice that the outfit is quite coordinated, the matching colors are not a simple coincidence and they all started to show off from the "magical carpet"...

♥ Keep on dreaming and enjoy your colorful spring !

Asos leopard fur coat

Vintage top

Vintage skirt

Office boots

Religion clutch

Hopefully the last winter clothes, the weather changed drastically in only few hours and today I felt the spring spreading her warm wings all over the city!

Yesterday I was still wearing warm clothes, honestly the idea of wearing a fur coat in the middle of April started to get on my nerves so hopefully the sun won't stop showing love from now on!

I wanted to pay tribute to my city, so I found the perfect vintage treasure to honor "him" as "he" should be honored, really in love with that jumper :)

Added a cute velvet bow, a passionate touch of red, a wild leopard print and of course some YSL purple lips!

Hope you all enjoyed a marvelous weekend ♥

While I wait for the spring to come, flowers to bloom and the sun to shine I enjoy looking at my new summer acquisitions!

Although pretty black, showing signs of hope, the neon effect will definitely make his comeback soon, very soon!

♥ Have a lovely weekend!

Alexis Mabille F/W 2013-2014

2013-04-09T16:38:00.001+02:00

I would start by saying that it was a fun collection to watch, a lot to see, maybe a bit too much, but it was screaming young, vibrant, not afraid to show the "blings" !

It was rich in colors (flamboyant red), leopard prints, embellishments, pussycat bows, rock 'n' roll studds ! Overall, some matching rules were broken, but that was the purpose !

Alexis Mabille brought into the runway lights a sexy woman with a sexy accentuated waist, a modern catwoman with her perfect hair all tied up in a ponytail wrapped in satin bows, rocking her cat prints like no other !

The silhouettes and the mixed textures were there, although it was a bit different from his previous collections !

La Comédie-Française

Topshop faux fur coat

Asos sweatshirt

Asos boyfriend jeans

Customized Nomad Revived necklace

Bird satin boots

Vintage Dior purse

Probably one of the most beautiful places in Paris is around la Comédie-Française so I thought it was time to take some photos there! It would have been so wonderful to catch some sun and wear a dress instead of a fur, but the weather is still pretty cold for this period!

One of the greatest things about Paris is that you never get bored with its amazing architecture, so overwhelming! Seriously some of the most memorable places in Paris look as if someone painted them instead of actually building them and they appeared by magic to mesmerize our souls forever!

Timeless as the customized necklace that is ticking around my neck, isn't it lovely and unique?!

While enjoying the perfect weather in the south of France I finally felt like it was spring, so styling a fun outfit was a must !

In my previous post I was showing you how to style sneakers with fancy clothes, in this case it's quite similar! Another way of styling a simple sweatshirt and why not a banana sporty bag !

I love this one from Sonia Rykiel, very practical, stylish and comes in a gorgeous color !

I always wanted to pair pink and purple together and I think the grounds around were the perfect set for me to have fun in this outfit!

Jean Paul Gaultier A/W 2013-2014

The latest Jean Paul Gaultier show was held at the prestigious Salle Wagram and it wasn't the first time when the maison showed their collections there! Jean Paul had some very memorable moments around that place and of course everybody was curious to know why this location changing!
I found the place breathtaking, just a few steps from the "Arc de Triomphe" and the glorious "Champs-Élysées".

The show started with some reinvented corsets that sort of looked unfinished, as if they were meant to dress a rebellious Madonna in a Almodóvar movie.

Tragic, romantic, extravagant, punk, but also quite soft bringing a certain ethnicity to the clothes (patchwork, leather and fur with sheer materials).

I got the feeling that he wanted to bring to the table a new fashion globalization, a sort of tribal feeling, the comeback to the roots (layers, contrasting textures).

Something quite new that caught my attention were the logo fabrics, why not try a mischievous fur that carries the "GAULTIER" name as a print ?!

A luxurious collection that screamed luxury, take a look at those furs, the fabulous knits, the leather biker jackets, the rock accessories, the velvets...
