Louise Night/ coups de coeurs

10 shops & 10 'coups de coeurs'

1. The perfect colourful skinny jeans from the Spanish brand Cimarron (check out their website its pretty good), found at Pulsion ( 17 A, Avenue de la Toison d'Or)

2. The ideal little weekend bag from Pepe jeans ( 10 A, Gallerie Toison d'Or)

3. The most amazing pair of white trousers, perfect for summer, not transparant and with some lovely structured pockets, from Agnès b. (27, Boulevard de Waterloo)

4. I love a good statement necklace and this has to be the most beautiful one I have seen in a while, love the mix of texture from Max Mara (19, Avenue Louise)

5. This bag is gorgeous (available in two sizes - pictures is the larger version and available in a multitude of colours) from La Furla (58 A, Avenue Louise)

6. I found the absolute perfect print trousers, snake skin print to be precise from zara - as seen on me here - (8, Avenue Louise)

7. The perfect day - to - night maxi dress from Bel Air in a  gorgeous powder pink, available at No Concept (94 C, Avenue Louise)

8. The new "Ava shopping" is the new 'it bag' over at Tods, a bit pricey but such an amazing leather/suede (46, Boulevard de Waterloo)

These 'coups de coeurs' were done in the context of the Louise Summer Night 2011.  I was kindly invited into these shops in order to pick out my favourite item for summer from each shop, you will find them exposed on the night of the 23 June.  I still have to to go Veritas (an amazing place in Belgium where you can find everything you need for your DIYs) and Planet Parfum, which I will post shortly.

If you are in brussels on the 23 June don't hesitate to come to Avenue Louise and join us for a fashionable evening in Brussels where most of the shops of Avenue Louise will be open to the public.  Also if you wish to have VIP tickets (which you need to get into the shops at night), drop me a line here as I still have some tickets (for 2 people) left.  I hope to see as many of you there on the 23 June!

oh Paris!

Here are some more of the pictures from my week-end in Paris. We tested out yet another brunch, and again I was not disappointed. The outfit is not the most 'breath-taking' but it's what I spent my weekend wondered around in. Also, I finally purchased a new leather jacket from Zara online and I have to say their service is pretty good indeed.

Not what it seems

I have realised over the weekend that lately I have had so much to share with you that it has been a long time since I have done a 'Trend post' (which is really at the heart of my blog). Zara seems to be very good lately has producing very 'wanted' pieces especially with the blogger community and their 'imitation sheepskin skirt', otherwise know as Zara's look alike schoolgirl faux leather skirt, is no exception. I actually really like this new take on the 'original' pencil leather skirt and the shape make it that much more wearable. Here, it is seen paired with a light cream jumper or with a shirt to play on the schoolgirl element of the skirt.

You can get your hands on this skirt from Zara's online shop (now shipping to Belgium too) HERE.

P.S: Thank you to all of those who sent me emails over the weekend concerning the article in the (paper version) Vif Weekend. Your kind words were all very much appreciated, so thank you for all your support. I have to say I was delighted to see that I was sharing the page with Stèv (whom I meet recently and is just an amazing, creative and fun person), author and creator of the blog Monsieur/Mademoiselle
