Le style n'est pas une taille mais une attitude

KAKI MARINE

 

Here is my darling khaki sweater from last Monday again, I told you about a new color match that I love, and there it is.

I think I’ve seen it in Italy. To me, Italians are the champions of fancy associations like this one. In big cities like Rome, Venice or Turin, the mastery of the associations is perfect to my eyes.

You’ve already seen the big COS vest over a little dress. It’s making a comeback over my soft mohair sweater.

I don’t own any share of COS believe me, but I’m literally melting for their style, if I could only dress in their clothes it would suit me perfectly. Come on COS, don’t you wanna embark on a PlusSize collection ?

The sunglasses I’m wearing remind me of Anouk Aimé, you know this gorgeous actress who did a lot of films with italian directors. Including the famous Dolce Vita, I think she holds the film together. Anyway that’s another topic but when I saw these Karl Lagerfeld sunglasses I immediately thought of her.

I took a picture of the frame with a little more light because it’s beautiful, these shades of khaki green and blue, perfect for my outfit, don’t you think ?

These sunglasses are available at Optic2000. Karl Lagerfeld designs really good and inspired collections, for about €150, I’m impressed.

A last word to talk about my boots, I’ve discovered the Geox rain range. Would you believe that I could jump into puddles while keeping my feet dry. Plus, they’re way more gorgeous than a pair of rain boots, right ?

A LA PHARRELL

 

Why “à la Pharell” ? Simply because of the hat that reminded me of Vivienne Westwood’s creation that Pharell wears. An excessive hat.

Outfit wise, I’m in love with this khaki mohair sweater from COS, I wear it with everything. I’ve been planning another color match that I will show you very soon.

My little gray coat you’ve already seen at the beginning of the season, and these 7/8 pants from Kiabi’s limited edition collection. A trendier collection, less silkscreen printing, a carefulness about the fabrics, and still small prices. Long story short, if you’re looking for little black pants, run to the nearest Kiabi.

To give them a touch of fun, I wore my Pas Chassé lurex socks. I recommend this website for their nice creations of socks, what’s good is that the fabric isn’t too thick, which counts if you have chubby feet.

On my arm, I took back out my Givenchy, exactly in the shades of khaki I have a fondness for this winter. We’ll get along just fine him and me this season.

I’ll leave you with some pictures, the links are below the pictures as usual.

Have a good beginning of the week !

POISON IVY (REDUCTION INSIDE)

 

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.

All of these beauties come from Dorothy Perkins’ and, like last month, sweet Dorothy is giving a treat to my readers because she knows you love her very much.

LAQUE

 

A Monday that isn’t really a Monday if you’re lucky enough to have made it into a 4 days week-end. Be that as it may, let me share with you a little outfit I was wearing yesterday while I was taking a walk in the Marais.

I’ve completely fallen in love with this sweater with its large black vinyl band in the middle. The contrast between mat and lacquered is really gorgeous. Can you feel how crazy I am about it ?

To play even more with the contrasts, I took out one of my new blue velvet coats, very oversized.

You’ve already seen these perfect little jeans, they’re from Torrid, super well cut, perfect to wear with high heels.

A bright touch on my lips and I have an over all quite simple outfit but still elaborate by way of its fabrics.

Have a good beginning of the week !

NAVABI – STYLE COUNCIL #1

Today I have the pleasure to share with you the first look I imagined for the Navabi website.

Big news : this multi-brand website has chosen me to join the Style Council which is gathering together several international bloggers and I’m really glad and flattered to be one of them.

Thanks to this Style Council, you’ll be able to see different profiles, outfit ideas, tips, but also a shopping selection made by the bloggers you like.

I personally completely fell for this fake leopard fur coat, I’ve been looking for one for a long time. It’s not easy to find the nice pattern and a fabric that doesn’t look too cheap. This one is really great, the color of the coat is light, and one killing detail : the leather braid all the way along the length.

Underneath, I chose a quite sober outfit to make my coat pop and have a kind of rock&folk look thanks to my big hat.

As a finish touch on this silhouette, I chose my new shiny Boden loafers. They bring out the shades of the coat.

Come and see my first selection HERE on Navabi and discover the Style Council and its members HERE.

Have a good visit !

BLEU DE MYNT1792

 

You know about my love for navy blue, and this time I felt like going all the way. It’s my new black.

I completely played ball, right to my delightful stilettos.

To brighten things up, my faithful Marni who almost never leaves me anymore, it’s the real thing between him and me.

And for once I’m not wearing red lipstick but some fuchsia to give elegance to the blue. On my ears, a pair of earings that used to belong to my mom.

You know Mynt 1792, this high end american brand which offers clothes from size 12 to 26, I introduced it to you on this blog here.

I fell in love with these two pieces !

If you were to buy only one piece of navy blue clothing, I would recommand this dress (incidentally it also exists in black). Super well cut, great fabric, heavy like we want it to be, you’ll see it in future outfits very soon.

Have a good evening girls, tomorrow I’m going to London to pay a visit to our dear friend Boden, if you want to follow me you can do it on Instagram.

CÚRVIE CREW

 

Today I’m presenting a sweater I just loved to wear in Paris last week-end.

I admit I’m not a fan of messages on shirts and sweaters, even if you already saw some of them on the blog (“Believe in your selfie”, Lost in a dream)

And there, putting “CURVIE” up on my chest, it was like crossing a new border. I’m having trouble explaining it clearly, this feeling of stating something even more powerfully than usual. You know me, I’m not into statements, that’s not my thing. That’s probably why I felt like I was crossing a border.

I saw the almost envious look of certain people, women that felt relieved reading my message, as if they were thinking “phew, it feels good to be able to say/read it”. I’m probably seeing too far into things and giving too much importance to what I saw this week-end, but I wanted to share this with you.

What about you, tell me, how would you feel if you passed by a girl who was wearing this sweater ? If it creates a particular reaction of course, or maybe none at all after all.

Thanks to Tanesha from the “Girls with curves” blog for this sweater, I really feel like I’m part of a crew now !

Have a good Monday girls !

BALSAMIK

 

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.

What about you, do you know BALSAMIK ?

#MOROCCO – MAJORELLE GARDEN

 

Here we go, let me show you a few pictures of my trip to Morocco, of course I was going to share all of this with you.

It was my first trip to Marrakesh, and it’s the 3rd city I visited in Morocco. I was really transported by Marrakesh and it was a nice change of scene, I stayed there for 5 days. This city did me a world of good, I fell in love with it.

For this first part, let me take you to the Majorelle Garden, an unmissable place if you ever visit Marrakesh, a haven of peace, a green oasis of beauty that took my breath away.

The garden was created by Jacques Majorelle in 1924, it wouldn’t be until later, in 1980, that Yves Saint Laurent would buy it to make this place durable. Today it belongs to the Pierre Bergé Foundation and it’s still open to the public.
