XX.X.MMXIII

I found the perfect midi skirts when I went shopping on Friday! I had been on the hunt for a specific style because all the others I have come across were too thin, too long, too this, too that... All of them were just a little bit "off" for my liking. But then I wandered into H&M and saw this one hanging. I pounced. I do think this outfit would have looked better with a short jumper - perhaps a cropped one - but I am not a major fan of my belly jelly so I opted for this Zara monochrome jumper (see better photos of it in this post). If you are pear-shaped like me, I would love to know how you style your midi skirts and dresses so do leave a comment and/or leave a link to a recent outfit or look you have put together.

BRUSSELS FASHION DAYS 2013

Claude and I decided to go to last weekend's Brussels Fashion Days evening and we got to have a look around at the wonderful belgian talent. The venue itself was pretty awesome and we both found a bag brand which we absolutely love! Vers Versa was started up by Belgian-Irish actress Sinead with the amazing concept of interchangeable bags to fit any lady's personality. "Trends change and so do you" - I could not have put it better myself! I love that you can buy a bag and adapt it to whatever occasion or time in your life! We all go through a leopard phase, a bold colour phase, a "I promise I don't hate the world but I love all-black" phase... The list goes on. I will definitely have to hunt down a store which will be selling the latest collection as this is definitely something that I would save up to spend my money on. They are priced around 200-400 EUR depending on the style and size you buy. What do you guys think? Would you buy one too?

SHOPPING WITH THE SWALLOWS

I met up with Claude yesterday and we did a spot of shopping at a nearby mall. I have to say it was quite a successful one as I finally found a new leather jacket! It was 80 EUR but considering that the ones I had come across until yesterday were peaking at prices such as 120-140 EUR I thought it was a pretty damn good purchase. I also bought a few basics in H&M which I will definitely be featuring in future outfit posts. I managed to hunt down the perfect midi skirts so expect a few looks with them soon!

NYLON JAPAN FEATURE

I have been itching to show you this look for such a long time now! A few months ago, I was contacted by a lovely girl who works Nylon Japan. The excitement I felt when the words "Nylon" "Japan" and "feature" registered in my brain was out of this world. Each word on its own made me incredibly excited but all three together made me feel as if my mind was about to implode. I could not even handle it. I decided to put together this very autumnal look with an incredibly oversized bordeaux-coloured top with my favourite maxi skirt which is, coincidentally, the one I wore in my previous post. To top it all off I thought my floppy camel hat would go perfectly. As for the shoes... I bought these in Topshop in the sale and I thought it was such a steal (around 38 GBP reduced to approx. 17 GBP) but they are so incredibly painful. I was disappointed because my other flats form Tophop were so comfy! I am on the lookout for a new pair of black flats so if you know of any super comfy ones please do let me know.
