That's Vogue

There are little things in life that can make you feel simply happy, like sunlight in winter warming up your cheeks, hot and fresh pastries for breakfast, remove the alarm timer before falling asleep, 60% off at YSL, receive beautiful roses any day beside 14th of February, enjoy company of good friends, reading the last chapter of an intriguing book, have your favorite dish for diner, find the perfect pairs of jeans the kind you know that is going to live with you for couple of years, have the last piece of lemon tart, Parisian coffee terrace with your girlfriends on a beautiful spring day, wearing for the first time a new pair of stunning shoes, wish happy birthday to someone close to you etc etc….

Thursday, something happened that made me feel happy all week end long… I received by post my first Vogue issue (French version), YES I finally subscribed last month for a whole year of Vogue attitude, coz (for whom it may concern), they deliver to UAE!!! And now no need to beg anyone I know going on a trip to Paris to bring me the magazine copy anymore… I am going to receive it every month!

That’s the Vogue effect…

Masculine Feminine

Ah the tailor wide boy pants trend. I have to say I love love love loooooooooooooove it!
It is actually working really well for me (Truth: loose = hips not showing), comfy, casual, unserious, cool, relax, simply effortlessly chic…. (like Diane Keaton style in Annie Hall)

One problem though: now I kind of confuse my wardrobe with my other half one.
The truth is, those last couple of months, I bought a lot of pants (like a looooot), all of them 2 times bigger for me, so now when I’m looking for a ‘normal’ pair of trousers, well I don’t have that anymore. Or when I do find one (far behind in my closet), I try it, close the zip, have hard time to breath and move across from the room to the bathroom, become all red and sweat to finally remove it, put on my wide comfy pants, look at myself in the mirror, whisper a little ‘hum better’, wear a killer pair of high heels and leave satisfied…

Bloody hell when did I stop dressing like a girl?!?! My pants are wide, my T-shirts even bigger, my shirts pffff no comments… even my dresses now I start buying size… biiiiiiiiiiiip (you really thought I will tell you that pfff) wear a belt in the waist bref I like my clothes loose!

But come on, tell me something, between you and me, it does look cool isn’t… Even though yesterday I was still wondering: Do I really look good or do I only want to believe that I look good because I really want to and cause I’m comfy??? Okay too philosophic for fashion…

It’s all about the attitude (too cliché??). I don’t think so cause I’m sorry but the boyish look for a girl does work!!
When I’m in Paris for example, when a girl catches my attention and find her stylish well I realize that most of the time she will be wearing a rolled up pants with a pair of high heels…or at least something masculine, large vest, hat, shoes… something…

My only concern is how am I going to handle the after party? How I’m going to put on slim, tight, skinny jeans again after that… Cruel world!

So boyish look = stylish but not feminine... well I’m confused, really need your opinion on that. Sexy or not sexy?

Have to go buy a skirt.

Ciao

Thanks to my best Dubai girlfriend YK. for the shots!
