I really need one of these little black leather jackets....
This one is from All Saints, gotta check out their Antwerp store very soon....

back to black

Who ever said you should wear colour during summer?? This is the most perfect outfit I could picture right now, just black and black...and perhaps a little pink nailpolish:)

Wang par excellence

This is how I envision THE Wang girl: grungy, effortless and somehow still classy!

I simply love this outfit, which was captured by fabulous Garance in Australia.

I reminds me of the fact that I never found that perfect beanie last winter (snif), that I have to customize/slash my jeans and that I am still searching for that perfect boy friend blazer!

Shine on

After nearly two weeks of perfect weather, it just started getting all rainy again...so in order to distract myself I turn to Australian Fashion Week and I'm just totally taken with the Australian girls' gorgeous and oh-so fresh outfits:



I just love this A-Wang sweater worn with the sheer leggins...


...and this girl really rocks her Missoni frock. So I always thought that anything more than a Missoni scarf could be overkill, but this lady taught me better!

Then, I have also been spending some quality time with my new MiuMiu gladiators, which means walking them around in my 25 square feet student appartment...:) I can't wait for summer, so I can take them out for real!!!

Stripes alarm!

Striped shirts are just fabulous! They go with everything, add a certain French chic to an outfit and for me they are THE summer must-have. I love how these stylish ladies wear their striped shirts:

Rather classy with a navy blue blazer or a trench coat...

...paired with a skirt and black basics...

...mixed with colour or other patterns...

...or even a bit more grungy...

...now that we have the inspirations, we just need the shirt. My favourite one from A.P.C. seems to be sold out! So I'm searching for alternatives...any ideas??

Cozy layering

It's one of these lazy weekends and you wanna dress cozy, while still looking great?
Take some cues from these two ladies in their oh so cool outfits:

Back to basics

Nothing more to add.

crazy mix

I like this outfit: all the layering, mixing different patterns and textures. It's so different - in a good way.

Big shoulders

At first I was a bit skeptical about the "big shoulders" trend. But once I got used to it, I can't actually get enough anymore! I wonder when Zara & Co. are finally showing some great pieces with big shoulder pads, I'll be the first to get one....!!

Christophe Decarnin is the master of big shoulders, they're again a big theme in his new Fall 09 collection.



Twenty8Twelve also showed some nice tops with big shoulders. I really like the left one, it should be pretty easy to wear...

Army girl

Les Voguettes just have the most impeccable style! Most of the times they wear all black outfits with a special twist. This time I'm totally smitten with Geraldine's choice of mixing black basics with an unexpected army shorts! It looks so great... where can I get one...?!?

simply cool.

Everything about this outfit is perfect: the biker boots, leather jacket, Balenciaga bag, beanie paired with wavy hair...LOVE it!

very Parisian...

I just came back from Paris and I miss it terribly...

Wanna play dress-up...?

...then just take a look at Luella spring girls for some funny, cute ideas:

mix up bright colours and flower prints, go for bows, brooches, nets in the hair, lots of pearl necklaces, little gloves...just overload!!!

a girl named Chloe

Lately, Garance Dore has been posting these stunning pictures of her friend Chloe. This girl is a real natural beauty and wears the most expensives clothes in such a nonchalant and cool way. I just have to show the pictures here, as I keep on thinking about them all the time...



I love the way this Chloe girl wears the Balmain top with the sharply defined shoulders...and pairs it with amazing Lanvin pants and Balenciaga shoes...

This is my dream outfit!




...the top is lovely from the back, too.



Here, she is wearing a Lanvin silk top and this pretty Balenciaga dress with little black dotts...

Teen is hot

I JUST LOVE TEEN VOGUE!
Although I am not technically a teenie anymore, I buy Teen Vogue each month! I like the girlie vibe of the magazine, plus they have the best editorials! Don't get me wrong: I very much appreciate the work of the "grown-up" Vogues, their editorials are real pieces of art and I could delve into them for hours...still sometimes I find it hard to adopt what I see to my own personal style. The very fresh editorials of Teen Vogue, instead, usually inspire me in a very practical way, I always find a combination I would immediately want to try out for myself!

Just take this January's issue: the editorial shown below is just lovely with its washed out denims, pastel colours, liberty-print florals and messy hair. Somehow, it reminds me vaguely of Burberry SS09, yet styled in a very easy, young and playful way.

One last thought: maybe I keep on reading Teen Vogue as some kind of unconscious defense from growing older...?

Nooo - I think it's rather due to the fabulous Teen-Voguettes and the great work they put into each single issue!!
