Double up

I really do not know why I bothered packing anything at all. I came back to Brussels to a wardrobe full of long lost clothes from last summer mainly, so perfect for the delightful weather we are having lately. A quick outfit post featuring double denim, a trend I have always stayed away from (like quite a few others), that is until recently.

Friday night I ended up helping one of my friend who was modeling at a fashion show for young new talents. It is always a great opportunity to meet new up and coming designers whom have very different takes on fashion. It was also a nice insight to was goes on backstage at fashion shows, basically utter chaos. never the less it was great fun and a fun way to meet up with friends. Sunday was spent wondering round 'Art Brussels', contemporary art fair which was also a delight. I will try and get the pictures up and posted by Wednesday.

Referee for a day

The H&M striped waterfall jacket was picked up by many bloggers. Indeed it looks like stripes will be following us into summer to. However, this jacket was a nice variation of the striped trend and was a bit more modern than the Zara jacket many of you have also been sporting.

I tried on the leather Zara black clogs today and quite liked them, they are more sober than my current Dany platforms which is an understatement. I really want a nice pair of wooden sandals preferably with black leather and this were pretty much perfection. Sorry for the lack of activity, this was due to a couple of reasons. Firstly, lack of internet and secondly, I have so much to do. I have a lot planned for today and I will post very shortly a couple of outfit posts. Have a great weekend!!

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!

Shoes and wooden heels

So the Dany shoes I have had my eye on for so long finally arrived this morning, courtesy of Baker Shoes. These beauties are pretty impressive and must admit I am not sure if I would wear them outside of the house. I am still a bit fashion-shy when it comes to certain pieces. Are there certain pieces you really love but have problems flaunting down the sidewalk?

I am currently wearing wearing a lot of ankle boots, and at the moment I am living in my low 'cowboy' boots, Zara wedges and my new grey wedges (that i found on ebay and are identical to the Zara ones).
