Wedge Sneakers

9 May

I believe Isabel Marant really manage to create a revolutionary sexy sneaker, that I so easy and comfortable to wear in any type of situation, season and generation.
She already had few different styles and plenty of trendy colors. The only thing that they are expensive! But any good product will of course be copied and I will show you few models that are almost as comfortable but way cheaper.
Aldo came up straight away last year with 2 really good models, and I haven’t stop wearing mine.
Since then they have came out with a huge range colors, studs, scratches… Any thing you can image, they are priced between 80 to 150 Dollars.

I would suggest to find more the simple models, personally not crazy about scratches models.
Keep it simple, and can be worn with any thing any season.

Stripes

18 Apr

We have seen strips every way, on top and bottoms. But which ones to choose for our bodies?

Stripes can makes us think of prisonniers or even footlockers t-shirt… But there is some thing quite Rock’n'roll and funky to it… But it all depend how you wear it…

You can keep it quick elegant with just a black and white blouse from Zara, with very neutral bottoms

Have it more funky with the bottom striped, even both combined.

You should play with stipes, combine it with different pattern in the same color combination. It works better for bigger girls with lighter colors. Or if you wanna keep in black and white i would advise you to go for lager sized, so it’s not too fitted.

Many combinations can be created, just try them out, and feel good about it.

 

OverAlls Over and Over

8 Apr

Man I miss my overall so much and specially when the days are getting warmer. I love the idea of having tones of pockets so I don’t need to carry a bag. And i just love the memories of my childhood ruining around with Oshkosh b’gosh. By the way I still have my last one of them size 18, from my teenagers years… My friends from high school (hein! Louloute?!) still mock me cause of my super baggy oshkosh look!

But overalls are back… definitely in slimmer versions, here are some wintery ideas.

I love wearing my with my sweater tucked in, rolled up of course and some boots for hight! I shopped around for you and this is what I found.

I would recommended to wear it low waist, rolled up and just add a bit of hight with your shoes… Spice it out with some jewelry but meanly try to stay simple and comfortable.

Forever 21

4 Apr

It took me a long time but this brand growing on me. I only use to go buy my gym outfits and then I always end up buying some thing that would last me few years. I know it’s a scary store full of noisy teenagers, but in between all that there is many nice things for a great price.

It’s pretty worth for the price, and if you are not brave enough just do your shopping online it’s way easier.
Big fan of their plus size division!

We have this image of H&M as the fast fashion and low cost brand… Well they have surprised me, more then few times, with amazing items that i have kept over the years and over the different trends.

That means that they can offer you quality!

But this campaign is about conscience consuming. H&M is telling us through their campaign, DON’T LET FASHION GO TO WAIST. It’s a new recycling system for your old clothes. You can bring up to 2 bags per day into their store, and would receive a discount voucher per bag for your next purchase…

The clothes can be recycle into different material, into energy or reuse to give to charity.

So keep in mind while you start your spring closet cleaning, H&M is helping us out!

My boyfriend got me this really nice perfume, and I LOVE the name, cause of my eastern European background… It’s Bergamot, lemon, pepper, juniper berries, Incense, pine needles, orris, Amber, vanilla, sandalwood

BUT the vanilla is too present for me!

The brand is really awesome from Sweden,  and I’m considering maybe to choose an other one… Maybe Rose Noir Grapefruit, freesia, Rose damascena, Cistus, moss, musk.

Or Blanche White rose, pink pepper, aldehyde,Violet, neroli, peony,Blonde woods, sandalwood, musk.

Here are some element that have been inspiring me lately…
If you have any suggestions I’ll be happy to here them…
The only thing is that I’m not a big fan of sweet perfumes.
