We have a Winner

Hope that everyone had a great weekend, I know I did even though very hectic. Just a quick outfit post before I leave for Brussels (or try to anyway) and of course the long awaited result of the big Giveaway. But firstly, a huge and warm thank you to everyone whom participated, it was great fun for me and it was nice to discover some of my readers, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I am looking forward taken some pictures and outfit post in Belgium, I haven't been back in quite a while.

A perfect outfit for this mid-season delight, the sun is definitely here but it's still not quite warm enough to shed the tights, which suits me just fine as my legs are not ready yet after a winter of being tucked away. Also, I am clueless as to how I am going to get them looking, well, just plain healthy will do. One of the 'difficulties' of being a redhead, the pale skin, not that I mind it, I have gotten use to it in last years, it took a while thought. But I wouldn't mind to have a bit of colour and glow on my legs. So if anyone has a miracle/secret solution, please di share.

GIVEAWAY WINNER: now for the moment you have all been waiting for (I do hope you haven't all scrolled down to the bottom of the page and ignoring my lovely outfit). The winner is 'A.CO' (corresponding to n°53 assigned by me). Congratulations and I will be in contact soon to discuss the delivery of  your prizes. One last thank you to the contributors of this giveaway!

How did I pick the winner? Firstly, I didn't pick anyone I used www.random.org. Secondly, each participant was assigned a number starting from the oldest to the lastest comments (n°1 to n° 82 valid comments). Then I checked all the tweets and gave each valid tweet a number (n°83 to n°102). As promised those who tweeted go an extra comment, in this case an extra number. Thus, 20 participants had two numbers as they very kindly tweeted the giveaway too. Quite simple, and very fair play.

I hope you enjoyed this and I am looking forward to organizing a new giveaway soon!

Just a quick outfit post and a reminder that being serious 24/7 is neither good nor, well, serious. Going backwards and forth between Canterbury and London, I have noticed that very rarely do I take pictures when I am running around London. On this occasion I made a point of taking the time to snap some pictures to share with you.

I was also very flattered to see my looks here and here. Thanks Elodie, Laura and Elisabeth!! You can also check out my features in my 'featured in' section, an opportunity to discover new blogs.

Also, I hope you have noticed the countdown to 'the big 100th post giveaway' has begun. No excuses for not knowing as I have posted the countdown on the top of the sidebar. I will not reveil what there is to win, not yet anyway, but i will say this much. There will be two big winners!!

Fashion Fusion

So, saturday I took my tiered self to London's Fashion Fusion and was very glad I did. I was lucky enough to meet the gorgeous Reem, the face behind the amazing website '5'5 girl in a 5'10 world' and one of the speakers at the event. Definitely worth checking out her website, it has some really fun and interesting fashion segments. I have to confess I feel in love with the title of the blog/website, being short myself I completely relate to it It's one of those things you wish you had come up with and thought of.

Anyway, here is the outfit I wore to the event and I was very glad to discovered that the stilettos came in handy later during the day, when shopping for cheap finds at Primak. I literally walked m way through the crowds of hungry looking shoppers.

2010 is, for me, the start of a new love for accessories, I am giving earrings, and especially rings a run for their money. I never use to change my earrings but I have recently found myself 'cheering' up basic outfits with a great pair of statement earrings, and the same goes for rings. I am always wearing my cartier triple rings for very sentimental reasons and not taken them off is almost 6 years now. However, they are having quite a bit of company lately. Here, I am wearing a new pair of Jewels chunky emerald earrings. Jewels stuff is pretty bold, bright and very out there and let's be honest not very me. This being said I actually, like, no love her pieces.

So what do you think of my bold statement earrings? Would you wear them? I also just wanted to let you know I am currently looking for a new home for a gorgeous pair of wedges i sadly never wear, so if you are a size 5 (uk) or 38 (eu) and promise to take good care of them then just leave me a comment with all you details and I will pick a lucky winner on Wednesday.

The bodysuit

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.
