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.

Ode to Spring

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.

Something new & studded

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 :)

DVF does it for me

There is something so paradoxal, and yet so comforting about watching some of the most beautiful collections on absolutely drop dead gorgeous women from the comfort of one bed. I love this idea of drooling over beads, tulle, floral silk, furs whilst still being in my pijamas. It simply just makes me smile. Anyway here are my top three and I must say Diane's latest collection about "a man in a woman's body: smile, seduce, be proud to be you" completely did it for me. I love the idea of frilly, pretty and layered dresses/skirts under very tailored and manly jackets, paired with ridiculous accessories and killer heels.

3. Anna Sui (The one that I least expected to blow me away)
