My new tweed jacket

Here is the outfit I wore Friday evening to the 'second hand, second life' fashion show (I will share the pictures this week as soon as I get the time to through them all). I wore my new tweed/utility jacket from Queen's wardrobe and my new levi's jeans. I have been on the hunt for the perfect 'boyfriend' jeans for as long as I can remember and there has always something I din't like about the jeans so I decided to go to Levi's thinking if I can't find the perfect pair here then I will give up my hunt. So I walk out with two pairs; this boyfriend/skinny cut for women I am wearing here and a good old pair of 501 for men which I can't wait to use and abuse of them so they get that nice used feel to them.

I have had a lot of questions regarding Queen's wardrobe which has made quite a name for itself amongst bloggers in the last year or so. It is one of those websites that has embraced the era and the power of the bloggers to its full potential which I think was a great move. All i can say is that this was my first buy and the service was great, delivery super fast, and if you have any questions just email them or twitter them, there will always be someone there ready to answer all your queries. Quality wise it is not bad at all, and it was exactly as described on the website so no surprises there, same goes for the sizes. A couple of extra buttons would have been nice, then again that is maybe just because I am the queen of loosing them. Hope this helps and convinces you to give them a try.

DÉFILÉ ÉDITION 2010 : FASHION & DESIGN

Ce vendredi 15 octobre 2010 17 designers et 15 stylistes s’exposent sur le site de Tour & Taxis.

FR: "En organisant annuellement le défilé « Second Hand, Second Life » l’asbl vise à sensibiliser le grand public aux objectifs environnementaux mais surtout sociaux de l’association. En plus de valoriser le travail du personnel, le défilé permet la collecte de fonds par l’entremise d’une vente aux enchères. Cette année, l’objectif de la vente est le développement du café social des Petits Riens, un lieu de rencontre et de partage destiné aux anciens résidents de la Maison d’Accueil pour sans-abri. Avec l’extension de ce projet, l’asbl veut contribuer à répondre au problème de la déliquescence du lien social, laquelle est à la fois cause et conséquence de la pauvreté.

Pour cette huitième édition, Les Petits Riens rassemblent 15 stylistes et 17 designers. A partir de vêtements et meubles donnés à l’association et sélectionnés par les artistes, c’est plus de 50 créations uniques qui seront dévoilées le soir du 15 octobre. Stylistes et designers belges, grands noms d’aujourd’hui et de demain, proposeront une seconde vie à notre seconde main, à l’image de la seconde chance que plus de 40 travailleurs sociaux s’attèlent à offrir à toutes les personnes en situation de précarité qui frappent à la porte de l’asbl."

EN: The annual fashion show of the association 'Les petits riens' (second hand shop) called "second hand, second life"  ties to raise the awareness of our society  to the main environmental objectifs but more so to the social ones of their association. This years fashion show (followed by an auction) will attempt to raise money in order to create a 'café social'.

The 8th edition of this "second hand, second life" fashion show brings together 15 stylists and 17 designers, among which we have so greta Belgian names. They will be creating 50 uniques creations using al the second hand clothes and furnitures collected by the association.

I actually really like the idea of humanising fashion and organising events such as this ones that have a fundamentally good cause to them. More so, I will feel like I am part of an episode of Project runway :) I have added a preview of last years fashion show and I will be sure to snapshot the night away.

Défilé petits rien- 2009/ Modeshow Spullen hulp 2009

A very quick and not very exciting outfit post, but I wanted to show off my lovely peach/pink Topshop jeans and as the sun graced us with its presence this weekend I thought I would give it one last trip out of the wardrobe before winter truly settles down. Hard to believe that these pictures were taking mid-October.

Snapped, Stored & Shared (#4)

1. As most of you will now know I moved to Bruges three weeks ago for my Master degreewhich means I will be blogging from here for the next year.

2. Mixing Breton stripes with animal prints and my new NewLook leo coat.

3. I found a great pair of skinny red jeans, these were a size too big so I have to go back and see if they have them in my size.

4. I found two amazing coats over at Zara kids ;) A third of the price and twice as cute

5. I dared the bright lime green nail polish à la Hanneli, I think I might be to pale to pull it off. What do you think?

6. Recently simple outfits have gone a long way. Wearing here; YesStyle boots, H&M skinny jeans and denim jacket

7. I recently got a couple of dresses with print which is a nice change and I am especially loving this heart print dress from H&M recycled collection

Hopefully I will be able to shoot a couple of outfit posts but as I have said before, I have so much work here and so little time to do anything else. But hopefully, I will find some time. And I also realised last week, that the blog is almost 1 year old, this year has gone by so fast it is pretty incredible. So again, thank you to all my loyal and new readers :)
