This is a Men's World

With the men's fashion weeks currently running i figure that it would be the right time to talk a little bit about the other gender for a change.
Today just a few streetstyle summer looks... that i would love to see hit the dubai streets sometime...

This post is for my dear friend G. who is certainly one of the most stylish guy i know and my brother T. who perfectly knows his fashion essentials...

Bus StOp

When I was little girl I used to have in my room a black and white poster of Marilyn Monroe wearing a black pencil skirt, a white transparent blouse, black pumps and those unbelievable 50s sexy black tights, she was naturally waiting at an empty bus station finger up holding an old little leather suit case.

This image is stick to my mind as one of the most characteristic of woman sensuality and natural sex appeal.

The today’s series of photos is very far from the 50’s glamour style I’m talking about here but ever since woman waiting at a bus stop is a very feminine picture to me.

I love the contrast of a very dressed-up lady waiting for the bus.

Tres Marant*

The first time I saw the Isabelle Marant jogging pants I was all like pfffff come’ on that’s not flattering, not sexy, not chic at ALL! Non non merci not for me I’ll pass on that one…

Really??

Reality: less than two months later here I am proudly walking around town with my new loose sweatpants short found in Zara a few days ago. Claiming to whoever can hear me that I always wanted it and not since I saw it gorgeously wore by another fashion blogger, moi noooooon always wanted it I told you…
Gosh I’m so weak! Pathetic!

Grey, soft and extreeeeeeeeeeeemely comfy... I don’t know there is something special about it I immediately feel naturally cool while wearing those pants. Like 'I don't give a d**** how i look' kind of feeling.

I don’t want to remove them EVER! Maybe I can just change the top and spend the whole summer in them?!? for my defense guys please answer me honnestly when was the last time in fashion something trendy was comfy, loose yet effortlessly-cool-sexy huh?!?
Well yes when you look cooler than cool and super comfy, I’m wondering if I did finally reach fashion heaven.

I’m off this week to Paris and I can’t wait to pull out my sweatpants missile, accessorized with an oversized tee-shirt and a blazer (because in Paris you can actually wear a jacket believe me I won’t miss that chance ;-))

Bleu Nuit

These days I take it easy…for those who still don’t understand my language well it means that I’m wearing flat shoes, no make up and I’m giving complete freedom to my hair!
It feels good time to time to go back to basics, having couple of days off beauty. Sometimes you have to accept to be short, accept not to have natural pink-blushed cheeks and curved black eyelashes straight out of bed… those days I will put on my favorite pairs of jeans, my comfy tee, cute sunglasses (to hide the tired eyes at least) and good to go!

Do girls need to look perfect everyday?!?! Or do we accumulate bonus points on good days to allow one or two bad one in return without anybody judging you? Like bumping into someone you haven’t seen for ages dressed like your 12 years old sister justifing ‘sorry cant kiss you i have a terrible flu!!’ faking caugh and all to ashame to admit that you're taking a fashion day off...

Gosh it’s already the week end, does a week can go any faster!?!?

La Vie en Jaune*

That night i was in dubai but i don't know maybe those lamps or the walk near the water... My imagination started again to fly away : that night I was having a promenade au bord de La Seine** singing Edith Piaf.

"Quand il me prend dans ses bras, qu'il me parle tout bas, je vois la vie en ...... jauuuuu-nnnne"

*life in yellow

**a walk on La Seine's river creek
