1.2.3... GO!


To avoid the fight, mistake, regret or waste of time, you have to go prepared... means knowing in advance what you want and which sizes you need, no time for hesitation on the spot.

If you're living on planet earth you know what i'm talking about : you know that yesterday (19th in Dubai) H&M launched its capsule collection in collaboration with Jimmy Choo.
For its first collaboration with an accessories brand, the swedish giant went red carpet glam with selection of shoes, bags and clothing for women and men!

Bon let's be honest now, when i heard the news, i was excited, the name is great but when i saw the collection preview i got all of a sudden a little sceptical.. a lot of studs, glitter, leather etc etc... and you know that those are materials to handle very very carefuly! With leather and glitter the line between chic and cheap is very thin!!!!!

I have collected opinions from aboard, friends of mine that had the privilege to check out the press collection in advance and the results are not equal. Well they were unanimous on the fact that only couple of pieces are successfuly done, none of the bags worth it (even the promisious zebra clutch), quality is okay but not wow, a little bit overpriced and not all the pieces wearable (don't forget they live in Paris, where sequins is still very tacky!)... however many of them still left the stores with a few items, so let's keep optimistic.

For those who are still looking for their winter leather jacket, the one from the collection is to be checked out!

Here a selection of my favorites (for the bags better start saving and go the real label...)


Bon Shopping!!





The studded brogues and biker boots are definitively one of my fav!

One Way or Another



Here another way to wear my Chloe boots, more casual, more sporty with a straight pair of jeans slightly rolled up to the ankle - very-a-la-cool-quoi - to answer some questions i received yesterday they look high but are extremely comfy...
Some of you asked me about the price but honestly i got them for my B-day, would be very rude to go-run check the price, right?! non non i never did that EVER, voyons i'm not that kind of girl... ;-) - Are you????
anyway sorry but you gonna have to check by yourself this time...
-
I told you 100,000 possibility, this is what I call an investment buy!
This jacket is a vintage leather biker vest i got for years, i love the color neither brown, neither beige but yummy caramel...

B-Day wish...


Aaaahh those boots i wanted them sooooooo much; ever since i saw them on the runway i wanted them...

For me, those Chloe boots are the IT-shoes of the season.

I got them for my birthday, couple of weeks ago, and they literally got stuck on my feet ever since, i'm wearing them almost everyday day with pretty much everything... i know it sounds a little bit like an old 50's advertising but I truly love love love love them! The color, shape, high, leather... i have 10,000 idea of looks around those boots i can't wait to show you that!

ps: I would like to thank you all for the warm wishes i received for my sister, everything went well, it was a beautiful wedding and as predicted very emotional...

Soul Mate



What a night yesterday; between a gallery opening – Mojo Gallery (what a cool name!) anyway I’ll tell you all about it later because the name is as cool as the place – local designer Aiisha Ramadan fashion show on the ice rink of Dubai Mall and 'This is It' movie projection…. Gosh I’m exhausted… and all that without my camera (forgotten at home arggggg)

But before telling you all about those fabulous art, fashion and music events – I want to dedicate today’s post to my little sis’ how is getting married this week end.

I knew it was going to happen since a couple of months ago but now that the big Day is approaching I’m freaking out a little, my stomach hurts… well she is my little sister – the one that used to drive me insane while living under the same roof (i remeber our run-chase all over the house), steal all my favorite pair of jeans and claimed she never touch them, share my dreams and my pain… but she is also the one that know me the most, I simply can’t lie to her she knows me too well… she has the worst character ever but it doesn’t matter.

She is the youngest but seems so mature sometimes; she is smart, beautiful oh so beautiful, I always admire her confidence and no-fear-of-tomorrow attitude. We are different but deep inside so similar.
I miss everyday our long conversation until sunrise about future, love... often ended by the biggest laughs...


She makes me laugh

I love her style (she often thinks I’m old fashion)

I’m proud of her (I think she is too but will never tell me)

She is my best friend

Wish you all the happiness in the world.
