Blue, white, orange and stripes tennis, I immediately flashed on the capsule Isabelle Thomas BALSAMIK.
Timeless basic to have in your wardrobe without a doubt.
The jacket is particularly successful, its tissue is perfect, with the
This is the first time that I show you a Pauline and Julie piece on this blog.
These are two French designers who have set up shop in a charming shop in the 11th arrondissement in Paris.
I’m sustaining the momentum with BALSAMIK.
Many of you were pleasantly surprised, and know that the brand has paid close attention to your comments and observations.
Today, let me share with you a new outfit I put together using pieces by BALSAMIK.
I first fell for these super cute polka dot pants. I had the option to choose between 2 hip width, and I have to admit it’s very convenient.
I matched these cute pants with an absolutely perfect loose blouse with a shawl collar and a wrap-over cleavage. It’s so crazy perfect that I’m considering ordering more in several colors. However be careful, I had the good intuition to order it in (french) size 52 even if I’m a 50, this piece has a tendency to run slightly small.
I didn’t particularly want to add color to my outfit and wanted to stay on something sober and rather minimalist. And I realized I didn’t have a little black coat, simple but well cut.
And the coat I chose is exactly what I needed. In the end I didn’t have a piece like that in my closet because this kind of coat often gape at chest level or completely squash my breasts. With BALSAMIK, I solved this problem by choosing the depth of the breasts. Once again, bingo !
Obviously, BALSAMIK have more than one surprise up their sleeve and I appreciate greatly their tricks adapted to every morphology.
What about you, have you had the chance to try the brand since my first post about it ?
What do you think ?

Empire green, imperial green, I looked up the name of this green in a Pantone in order to give it a pretty name. At least as lovely as the outfit I’m wearing today.
I love this mix, I’ve never been scared of some glitter during the day, but it’s the first time I’m trying green sequins. And it’s beautiful, it’s dark, almost sober.
Of course I toned it down with the rest of the outfit. A big matching coat and a black sweater.
Even the shoes, which by the way are super comfy (I’m telling you), are quickly going to become essential this winter.

Here’s a brand I think you’ll enjoy as much as I do, BALSAMIK.
You’ve probably seen once or twice their happy end off the wall TV commercials. I hadn’t had a chance to try this brand until they called me to offer me to pick out an outfit.
Their e-shop is bursting with different styles and their strength lays into their choices of statures, cup depth, hip width, all of this from (french)size 38 to 54 (and up, for some designs).
BALSAMIK has its own label that plays around with every morphology, but also with brands we are already familiar with like Taillissime, Celaia, Anne Weyburn, etc.
For my first outfit, I fell for a piece I’d been searching for a long time now, by dint of seeing it on my girlfriends, I was drooling on this short padded jacket ! It’s available up until size 60 and it’s THE piece to have in your closet. You can either wear it alone like today, or slip it under a jacket or a coat this winter. So light and thin, that it’ll slide right into your suitcase, your vacation or overnight bag. The feathers keep you super warm and with my sweater on that day, I was able to face this little freezing wind that rose in the middle of the day.
With this little black sweater (that I can absolutely see worn with the front in the back and vice versa) I chose this ikat style black and white skirt. The milano bands on the side make it a comfortable piece to wear.
I added a fancy touch to my outfit with a shiny Shourouk necklace, I love the contrast with the padded jacket.
As you will have realized, BALSAMIK is both trendy and comfortable thanks to very well-thought morphology tricks.
