A couple of weeks ago I decided to do some virtual window shopping over at SpanishMossVintage and it wasn’t long before I was adding items into my, also virtual, shopping cart. They really have some amazing stuff but one item really caught my eye and my little session of innocent window shopping become a serious and very real shopping spree. I needed their stunning and very hot “peek-a-boo, mesh cut-out dress”. So, after a few secondes of “ohh god I hope they have my size”, followed by a joyful sigh of relief because they did indeed have the now ‘dream dress’ in my size, it was in my virtual shopping bag and ready to be paid and shipped. And here it is, I spent a wonderful night out and about in London in this simple yet cheeky black dress. What better, after a hard days work.

And of course worn best with a hat, and so much more fun! The right shoes fro this dress was my biggest problem, I wore it a pair of simple black low ankle boots from Zara, but I wanted something more chunky and I finished the evening or early morning to be more exact in a pair of black Converse ‘chucks’. What kind of shoes would you wear this dress with?

I Hope you all had a great weekend, I had an extremely hectic and busy one. My first day as a stylist on Friday was more stressful but also, and more importantly, more fun than expected. Now we just have to wait and hope the result is as god as the day itself. I am also preparing the big 100th post give away, so stay tuned for this and keep your eyes pealed. I didn’t have the time to do a new outfit post but here is one I took a couple of weeks ago.

Here is another one of these things we saw our mothers wearing and swore we would never wear ourselves: i am speaking about none other than the bodysuit. And how were we wrong, very wrong indeed, the bodysuit is back, however this time around it is being paired with loose trousers, high waist jeans and full skirt and not leg warmers. Making the body look very modern and sleek. On tomorrow’s photo shot simple nude and black bodysuits will be our key items so I though this was the perfect time to post my bodysuit looks.

I wouldn’t scream ’spring’s arrival’ just yet, however it does look like Spring is finally just around the corner. Not quite a spring outfit just yet but still something worth sharing. Thank you so much for all your lovely comments about my previous DI you have motivated me to start doing more DIY or my own, let’s see if this actually happens. For some more fun news, I will be styling my very first shoot on Friday so please wish me luck. I will do my best, that is if I am not too busy running around like a headless chicken, to document the day and take a few pictures

Also, the beautiful Elora that has been featured is some of my previous post has passed the “The Beautiful Blog Award” and “The Creative Blogger Award” onto me. I am not quite sure what I am suppose to do, but I do know I have to share seven things with my readers. First of all, I would like to thank Elora for this sweet gesture, and now for the seven things you don’t know about me.

1) I was born in France 2) I love spending time alone, even though I am very sociable 3) recently, I have enjoyed meeting people from around the world 4) I am a political geek/nerd (both terms apply to me) and have been studying politics for six years now  5) I don’t have that many girlfriends (working on that) but those that I have mean the world to me 6) I am pretty shy 7) I am addicted to TV series.

It has been a very long time since I have posted a DIY article, so I though this would be a great opportunity to show you, my first, actually and probably last for quite some time, DIY. I came across Ashley Madekwe’s blog a month or so ago and particularly loved this outfit on her, but more specifically I found myself drooling over her jacket. I really liked the idea of mixing silver and gold studs, more so the fact that she had studded the jacket herself motivated me to try it out myself. Little did I know, studs are real little buggers! Yes, I am very aware that studs are ‘very two seasons ago’ but I couldn’t care less, plus I don’t have anything studded. So I ordered myself a nice big pack of pyramid studs from the ‘retired punk’ (ebay seller) and waited for them to arrive. Once they did I got straight to work on my jacket, except wait I don’t have any of the tools necessary. I knew that if I didn’t start now I never would.  I used various techniques to put the studs on, i.e. knifes, scissors and anything else i could get my little pores on, but none worked better than my teeth :/

So that is the last time I am  doing a DIY involving 175 very small studs, but nevertheless I am very found of my new studded jacket and it was worth every single scrape and scratch. It’s not really an outfit post, just pictures of a very proud owner and her new studded jacket, now minus all the scrapes and scratches
