ELLE.be

So I normally do my trend posts on Wednesday but I a fair bit of news I wanted to share with you so here goes. First of all,l as most of you know (okay maybe just a few of you then) I am British but have lived in Belgium most of my life. I have been studying here in the UK for the last four years and today was my last exam here so these next two weeks will be my last in the UK and then I am heading back of to Brussels and then onto Brugges for my masters. Why am I telling you all of this, well it is quite simple I have come to realise that even thought blogging knows no real geographical borders (or others for that matter), bloggers seem to attract readers from their country or region which is a phenomenon I have yet to fully understand but one that I want to explore.

Anyway, this move back to Brussels got me thinking that I should start to connect more with my francophone and Belgium readers as I have done with my british and uk readers. This coincides perfectly with the great news (well I seem to think) that this blog is this months Belgium ELLE 'blog of the month'. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised at this bit of news, I don't normally bore you with the features of my blog but this one had to be shared!

Secondly, the little project I was working on with Hypeed is now finished. The editorial 'Down to Earth' , featuring the lovely Dylanna Suarez for which I was the guest editor looks great and I am happy with the result, the Hypeed team sure know how to makes lovely editorial with real people, yes an emphasise on the 'real' aspect of the editorials. So go and check it out and if you like the idea of participating in editorial fro and from you the why not try it out and participate in any (or all) of their next calls; take a bow, play it cool with a cat suit, the clog come back...

Finally, some time this week I will add a 'Shops to shop' section on the right hand side of the blog. It will be a selection of my favorite online shops and a link to discover the best places in London and Brussels (and anywhere else for that matter). So keep an eye out for this!

Mr. Nixon

You would have though it was winter looking at my previous outfit post, but summer is here and it's great (appart from the very real fact that I am still in the midst of my exams). My pale little legs where exposed to UK sunlight for the first time in a very long time, and shortly after these pictures were taken together with a couple of nice walks and outings and I find myself burnt, oh so very very burnt. very few can accomplish what I did this weekend and it takes a real redhead to get so burnt under 17° of sun. So any way I have some colour now, hat is the upside to it all :)

And for some details, I actually really like this watch which was gifter to me by the bf some time last year. It is a limited edition that Nixon made for Colette (paris) and I was immediately draw to this as the three colours brought back so many memories of my childhood, I think it has to do with my, then, obsession with lego.

Summer bliss

Most of you seemed to like the idea of me sharing videos I come across and enjoyed, so here is my second one. This one features Kage's spring/summer 2010 collection. You might remember I spoke about this lovely new brand in some previous posts, I am still loving what they are doing and whilst everyone is sharing the latest Kate moss x Topshop video I though I would show you something different. Enjoy!!

Biker boots

This was yesterday's outfit, it was one of those days where no matter what you put on the weather was not going to suit the outfit. I endeed going from being cold to warm all day but I didn't care as long as I was sporting my new boots. I have been looking for so long now for the perfect pair of leather biker boots to dress down girly dresses or to pair with cut offs and skinnies, and here there are. The day these arrived I had just brought the topshop ones that I showed you in the lats post, so I doubt I will be keeping them now, especially now that I have a new purchase in mind that I will hopefully soon share with you, and now I'm off to work again.
