You are so transparent

Lately I have been fascinated about the discussions surrounding bloggers, who knew that simple individuals with a willingness to express themselves, whether this be by writing, clothing, or any other form of expression, would create such huge debates. Indeed, it seems that many are intrigued, but also criticise and analyse in depth, the impact and the legitimacy of bloggers. Many high end magazines seem to dislike them (us, not quite use to being part of the blogosphere yet), partnerships and gift receiving are frowned upon, and every little detail is microscopically analysed, and for what? I have yet to fin d a logical explanation, appart from the fact that bloggers are becoming an increasingly fast growing generation of open minded people who will say and do what is on their mind, connected together at all corners of the world, giving them a louder voice and thus power of influence that many couldn't even dream of.

I think people are just going to have to get over themselves (Yes Anna Wintour, Tavi will be sitting in the front row of many fashion shows to come and she won't be the only blogger either) and accept the reality of thing, bloggers are here and it looks like they are here to say with a lot on their minds. Indeed, there is an endless amount of ink and paper here in the blogosphere.

So here is a little outfit post, love this Yesstyle fleece jacket, just the best. Yesstyle has yet to disappoint me. I brought these dress in several colours and its actually really soft and great to wear. I guess most of you got something from the Graden Collection this weekend, I got quite  a few pieces I will share with you sometime soon. But I didn't manage to get my hands on the lovely red rose dress (sigh). I have been asked quite a few time by my french readers to translate my blog, as the requests have become increasingly numerous I am seriously considering translating my posts, however I am worried it won't translate that well. Do you have any suggestions regard this?

They are crazy about tights

2009 was without a doubt the year for tights, never had I seen so many different interpretation of this practical piece of clothing. More so, the numerous different tights DIY I came across were pretty interesting; from embellished tights to ripped tights. There was definitely something for everyone. More types and styles of tights meant more skirt, dresses  and shorts which was a nice change. Dotted tights ("plumetis") was the new 'it thing' to be wearing, especially combined with leather or even just peekin out from under a pair of cropped trousers. Then there was the two toned tights which added a nice twist to a simple outfit. Since, NYE girls all over have gone lace crazy, not only in dresses, tops but also on tights.

The queen of the tights and one lady that sure know s who to have fun with fashion and never take it too seriously is none other than Chantal. Her ever present smile is not the only thing that made me want to go through all her posts the day I discovered her blog, her creative style was the second. She mixes and matches prints, patterns and florals like no other fashionista out there. I love how she adds her DIY tights or other crazy tights to her outfits, given her an ultimate style of her own.
