A quick post of my last weekend in the UK, yes I am now back in Brussels for the summer before going off to Brugge that is. You can not even begin to imagine the number of suitcases full of clothes and shoes I brought back, even I was embarrassed. Of course I came back here to discover three closets full of clothes too, so I am having a serious clear out on Ebay this coming month before it gets out of hand.

Top: H&M
Cardigan: American Apparel
Denim shorts: Topshop

My new fox tail: Ebay (loving it)
Colourful bracelets: Asos

One of the good thing about being back in Brussels is that I can finally order from Queen’s wardrobe (as they don’t ship yet to the UK) even though I found some exact same dresses on YesStyle, I have my eye on a couple of jackets and wedges I really like.

Also, I have been receiving lately a lot of compliments and questions regarding my Audibert Cuffs and I thought some of you might be interested in knowing that they are currently having a huge sale on their e-boutique. You can have 40% off the entire boutique with the special code “PA0710PE”, from June 7th until June 20th.

P.S: Don’t forget to follow me on Bloglovin’ and Twitter for more updates.

Sunday was spent at the 5 hour long summer time Ball wich was pretty amazing and I owe a huge thank you to Asos for gifting me this places, and not just any places amazing ones. The experience of being in Wembley stadium with 70.000 people and so many incredible artists is hard to put into words so here are some of the pictures I took, a couple of videos and some close up pictures taken from the people over at Capital FM.

Here is the mashup song Capital FM made with all the artists present at the Summertime Ball which I actually think is pretty representative of the day. Hope you enjoy it!

The perfect Sunday afternoon was spent walking aimlessly down Brick Lane and around Liverpool Station. Vinage shops galore, food markets everywhere, live music on every street corner and so many stylish people that you just don’t know were to look and all of this under the watchful eye of a shining sun. Just perfect and could not have asked for a better Sunday!! This is what I will miss the most when the time will coem to say goodbye.

This is not really an outfit post and I will very proper outfit pictures soon, but I just had to share with you this amazing part of London and if vintage is what you are looking fr then this is were you should be on a Sunday.

Still in the midst of my finals, I can’t wait for graduation and for it to be over, even though it will all start all over again with my masters next year I thought I would share with you some of my latest purchases and gifts courtesy of some amazing people. Some very girly stuff and others not so much. This is the thing with blogging, you get to meet and befriend people would never have otherwise never met and with blogging comes some fantastic readers. Thank you for sticking around and for all your lovely comments and emails!

So as I said in my previous post, yesterday was a hectic day for me, running around london in 5inch heels just made matters more interesting. But the day was undoubtedly  a blast and for so many reasons (so get ready for a long post). Woke up early to go and vote, then I headed off to the Swatch & Art event. The event took place at Shunt London, in the words of British artist aka Casette Playa the venue was a “futustic playground\dungeon”. First came the press release where yours truly was “Toni, Media UK” sitting on the front row wondering “wow how in the hell did I end up front row at a Swatch press release & event, surrounded by professionals who do this daily”. Then there was the unveiling of the four “swatch & Art” watches designed by four artists and designers from around the world; Ivan Navarro, Casette Playa, Manish Arora and Enki Bilala. They each had a personalised space in the dungeon to showcase not only their watch but also their vision and perspective on “time”.

The amount of interesting people present was just unbelievable, of course the glasses of champagne at 1pm did help quite a bit. I left with a bag full of goodies, including Casette Playa’s playful Art watch. It was great meeting her and listening to her point of view, she really is an upbeat and hands on kind of girl with one hell of a personnal style. I have to say I really Liked Ivan Navaro’s watch too with the skull and the story behind it was very touching. He explained how his upbringing during the dictatorship in Chile influences, sill today, a lot of his decisions. I had so many pictures but decided to share with you those of Ivan Navarro and his watch and of Casette Playa.

This really is the reason why I love Swatch so much, it truly is so much more than just about time. Swatch is also about fashion, about art and each watch conveys a message and represents so much more than just a watch or accessory. These watches are clearly each linked to and portrays a personal journey and story. I would have loved to go back to the cocktail, Diner and the party (wich I hear was simply incredible) but with the final exams just around the corner I just couldn’t.

Then I got myself to Carnaby street, were the day just got better. The sketchbook pop up store was so much more than I had imagined. The ever surprising shop, the welcoming girls at Skechbook, the enthusiastic bloggers and of course the dynamic and fun duo Jill & jen. The workshop was just the perfect place to share our stories and tips about blogging, to meet new bloggers and learn from bloggers such as Jen and Jill how have clearly made a name for themselves in the blogging world.

It was strange and great fun to get a sense of this community outside of the blogosphere itself, and literally take it to the streets. For the rest i will let the pictures do the talking.

On a last note, a will try and get some pictures of me in front of the camera not behind it so that you can what I was wearing during my hectic day. So if any of the bloggers that were there that da have pictures of me and I don’t look like I have ran a marathon all day, do let me know. Thanks and thank you for a great afternoon!
