Not really an "item" that will end up in my wardrobe any time soon - or any where near me for that matter. Don't get me wrong, it's not because I don't want it, but simply because it's completely out of my budget range, so much so it's not even funny. I pride myself in sharing with you affordable clothes and items for the average students/working woman. So forgive me for this not so affordable post :) However, I tagged along with my dad last week to the MClaren Brussels showroom opening where the MClaren MP4-12C car sat on display and still wanted to share with you the pictures from the evening. It was a different kind of event but nonetheless a very fashionable and interesting one. I was lucky enough to chat with the creative mind behind this first ever 'street legal' MClaren - Design Director Frank Stephenson whom attended the opening. I have to say he was as vibrant as the car itself, sharing with us many anecdotes of the fascinating world of automobile design.

The MClaren MP4 12C which was on display was definitely fitting with this fall's colour palette and go to colour - bright orange. Thus if you have the money, and you want to splurge on the perfect orange item may I suggest this beauty. If, like me you don't have that kind of cash lying around I am sure you can find the perfect item as most retailers are doing quite a few pieces in this colour palette. I, on the other hand, must be careful went it comes to orange, as Connie Wang puts it "one orange item too many, and one can look more traffic-cone than traffic-stopper", and as am already sporting my orange do on a daily basis I will need to pick wisely. Any suggestions?

Galaxi Print

 As most of you may or may not know, depending on when you started following me and my little blog, I actually started my blog by doing trend post twice a week. It was a fun and a bit of a different way to discover, not only new bloggers but also the trends of the blogosphere. Because as you might have realised by now, the trends here in the blogosphere are inspired by the catwalks but still more "daring & baring" than your normal street style looks. Anyway, I have been receiving quite a number of emails over the last year asking me to please start them again. So here goes, today's trend is the galaxi print first seen on Christopher Kane's designs about a year ago. This trend for some reason was not so quick to be taken up my the fashion bloggers but in recent weeks it sure has been all about these galaxi prints.

Romwe seems to have done a good job attracting bloggers to its online shop with its version of a galaxi print skirt as seen on the first three bloggers. I have to say that even though I am not a huge fan of the colours used in this design I really like the asymmetrical skirt itself. I am particularly loving Mio's and Samie's laid back looks.

So, will you be trying the galaxi print any time soon?

After the apocalyptic morning we had here in Belgium, if definitely calmed down and a bunch of us were able to make our way to Antwerp for the River Island Christmas collection presentation. The extrem weather had actually put me in the mood for warm fussy jumpers, fur hats and other warm clothing. As always, their collection was full of interesting pieces, lovely bags and killer heels. I can't wait to go back on Monday for the Forever 21 opening which will be a huge event and a fun one too. I also took the opportunity to snap a couple of pictures with Dorothée of my ver un-interesting outfit. A huge thank you to the wonderful Oona team for yet another lovely evening.
