The Red Dress

beret October 27, 2017

Say hello to the third dress I got from METISU this time - a red dress. We all see...red, since it's so in at the moment. I've never worn much red as I always thought it makes you too visible - not that I don't like it, but just take a look at the outfit that I'm wearing now; alright - now imagine every single red piece in black. Does it have the same impact? Hell no. Red is sensual, vivant, powerful. Red is goals. I love the retro vibe of this dress and all its little buttons - lovely details (the ones in the front are purely decorative, but the dress has a zipper on the side). It makes you feel so...alive and it also turn heads. If you feel that it looks "too vintage", make sure to add some modern, fun elements - think funky accessories and clash them with a classic trench coat - it's the epitome of the fall after all.

Be prepared, I have some serious red inspo for you in stock, just stay tuned and keep an eye on the next blog posts. Enjoy!

Rainy Days

beret April 29, 2017

Some rainy days you just feel like curling up in the bed with your favourite book or magazine ( I read magazines during the day and books by night if that makes sense) and just relax your mind for a while. And because the weather has been terribly cold these past days, Christian and I decided to do a quick indoor photoshoot in our bedroom so I can present you another beautiful piece from Metisu: the updated white shirt.

I'm talking about an all-white, off-shoulder, bell-sleeved beauty in a super light, perfect for summer fabric. Sounds good, doesn't it? I simply love it - I pair it with jeans, skirts, it even looks nice under certain dresses. So here it is, enjoy it in these Gucci-inspired pics - my talented husband's work.

Have a fun bank holiday weekend!

La Vie En Rose avec Marc B.

80s March 29, 2017

I have a new best friend. Let me introduce her to the world. Her name is Pennie and she's an absolute beauty. You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you? I'm talking about my new Marc B. Pennie bag in blush pink - to make everybody wink!

It's a fab small quilted bag, but don't get fooled - it's big enough to fit all my essentials - my iPhone 7 Plus, pocket tissues, a lip balm, wallet and keys. What more do you need? I feel completely bag free while everybody's admiring my bag. It's a win-win.

Don't get me started about the colour, you probably know how much I'm into pink and this blush shade - which almost feels like an exquisite nude is just perfect. It goes with every single item I own. The versatile strap is another aspect I love, it can be worn as a crossbody with its longer strap, as a handbag, shoulder bag, over the forearm or simply as a clutch. Everything's possible.

It features two compartments - the big one and a small one. Of course, there's the sassy leopard print lining which is Marc B.'s signature and there's the removable heart charm which I now use a keychain as I prefer the bag to have a more minimal look.

It's faux leather, therefore animal friendly and suitable for everyone, vegan or not 😸.

Their current stockists include: Topshop, ASOS, Lipsy, Next and Debenhams, to name just a few. Make sure to visit www.marcb.com to find your perfect match, I know I've found mine (and spotted few more favourites, so stay tuned for updates).

Black Velvet

all black March 13, 2017

I'm still in love with velvet and I believe it can be a sophisticated and versatile choice for day or night. For a cool casual outfit, just opt for trainers, mules or ankle boots and for the evening just put on your fav heels and you're ready to rock'n'roll! Of course I had to add socks, because I just don't like super girly outfits.

Go for bold accessories, like uber oversized earrings or a beret in your fav colour. It will double the fun!

Bubble Gum Magic

beret February 11, 2017

Pink is everywhere this season and that's a fact. But pink and I have a long history together. My first CV, five years ago? You guessed right: a symphony in bright shades of pink. I've always loved it, it's one of those colours that can show strength and femininity at the same time.

But you know what inspired me for this outfit? Chewing gum.

I remember there was this chewing gum back in the 90's and it was super colourful: yellow, pink and purple. I couldn't find it online so I can show it to you, but that's what continues to inspire me, even now, after so many years. That image got stuck in my mind and I love it. See the image below? As weird as it might sounds to some of you, that truly inspires me. It inspires me style-wise, home deco-wise and so on. And it might be because of its sugary, ecstatic smell or just because it reminds me of childhood. Anyway, I even remember having a bubble gum perfume few years back, which I bought from Pimkie in France, but couldn't find it any longer...if you have news about it, let me know. Haha!
