The perfect tweed coat

//WEARING// Queen's wardrobe tweed jacket River Island top Asos jeans Zara bag New Look flats

I brought this tweed jacket a bit more than a year ago from Queen's Wardrobe, and I have never regretted it. It is the perfect in-between-seasons- coats. Enjoying my time in Paris, and I seem to be doing a lot of baking lately. So I added a new category in my blogroll - Foods blogs - be sure to check them out. And of course, if you have any great food blogs I haven't listed please do share, or any recipes I should try.

Do something 'pink' for yourself and others

1. Isabel Marant x Association "Le Cancer du Sein, Parlons-en",  2. Black Current Elliott jeans foudn at Farfetch,  3. Zadig & Voltaire sequin Blazer,  4. Balenciaga red Pom Pon bag,  5. Adidasblack hi sleek sneakers,  6. Laura Jastram's woven chain bracelet. It's October - otherwise know as the breast cancer awareness month. So why not do something good, and fashionable in order to get people -especially women - more aware and more open about breast cancer . Swarovski has a lovely collection of items that promote awareness, and now Isabel Marant has joined the fashpack, and designed a tee that can be purshared for only 15€.  The best thing about the tee is that all the proceeds go to the french breast cancer awareness association. I am a strong believe that women should no be ashamed or hide behind their illnesses, as one woman's story could help another on so many different levels. The more you talk about it, the less tabou it becomes, and the more women can benefit from the knowledge of others. So help one another, and do something 'pink' this october.

Also, a huge thank you to UPR for my lovely Swarovski pink ribbon. If you have any other breast cancer association and ideas, please do share them.

I hope you are all having a great week-end. I arrived in Paris late Friday night, and I have to say it is really good to be back here and be back with the bf. One more month left of freedom until the real world begins. Here are a few videos that I stumbled upon during this last week and I really wanted to share them with you. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did, do.

Essentiel at Miele catwalk

I was lucky enough to be invited last Thursday to the Miele catwalk, but even better was the lovely invitation we got from Inge Onsea- the brain and inspiration behind the Belgian brand Essentiel - to spend the afternoon with her backstage. I always find these kind of invitations fun and interesting, but this time it was so much more than simply 'interesting', it was truly a wonderful experience. Inge and Tom - the other creative genius behind Essentiel - are the perfect duo, bouncing ideas off of each other and complementing one another to perfection. They are all smiles and giggles, and are both clearly the inspiration behind this youthful and colourful brand catering to the carefree woman. And check out those green and red leather jacket that they did for this F/W 2011 collection, they are simply gorgeous.

PS: Inge is the gorgeous lady in the bright yellow coat and Tom is the one sporting the great bomber jacket.

As always Filles à papa were amazing, Bshirt was fun and laid-back and Lenny Leleu was my discovery of the evening.

A huge thank you to Miele for putting on a wonderful show, to Oona -especially Marie - for always thinking of me, and to Inge and Tom for the openness and free spirit.
