Froufrou, froufrou




Get smart!


You can find the same jacket in Zara for 49 euros and get a nice white blouse in Penneys for 14 euros (the one with the ruffles at the top!) and if you don't like the smart trousers that you wear at work, get some loose and light trousers like a sarouel to feel more comfy! You are probably thinking that you will never wear this because really you are never invited to cocktails or fancy meetings...well how about a birthday when you don't know what dress to pick or to impress the parents! (unless they still leave in the 70's and think that "hippie" is not a style but actually real people, in that case, the flower power below is for you!)

Mix & Match


I particulary like the "vintage" printed tee shirts that you can find in Urban Outfitters or H&M with Mr and Mrs Silly or Mickey and Minnie...You can wear them with something classy to balance it all! With a nice pair of heels or smart shoes and nice jewellery and jeans, it's simply perfect and cool!

Simplicity


The good accessories




A satin jacket or just a simple navy jacket softens the flashy floral dress, even better pick the jacket with a strong colour. Customize your dress with an old used brownish belt or a belt with metal dots to spice your outfit up!


If you do not want to be "overdressed", a bunch of wooden bracelets will do or a fringy bag for the audacious!


Flower Power


In the navy!

Asymmetric is back


Fashion made simple



My three favorite basics that are easy to find, easy to wear and easy to match:
  • a long and breezy black waistcoat
  • a casual blouse
  • a nice pair of jeans.

JUST Cavalli


Black&White

The theme of this spring: bleu, blanc, rouge!

Ruffle party



I don't know for you but I love ruffles, every colour, every type, give me ruffle and I'll be happy. I think that it will never be out of fashion and it makes the difference!!!

Taylorism


Jane



GET WILD!

Easy tiger






Leopard seems always to be in fashion but this said, please do not become one of them! How many persons have you seen already with leopard fur, leopard hat, leopard tights, leopard bag, shoes etc...Why don't you pick one of these. As far as I am concerned, scarf, bags or shoes are enough!
The good or the bad news is that this spring, leopard is blue, pink, red... so feel free to let the animal out! rrrrrrr


You can find the same ripped jeans on www.asos.com for quite a reasonable price or take an old pair of jeans and a pair of scissors and there you go!
  • Advise: pick a light colour, it will look less "unkempt" and do not cut at the level of your knees if you don't want to look too "punk".
  • Try some "chic touch" to balance the outfit, a tiny bit of glitter, silver or gold (necklace or a scarf), a nice military jacket or even a simple white shirt with a navy short-sleeves jacket!
  • For the shoes: runners by day and stilettos by night!

Get your stilettos on!
