5 ways to wear leather pants

Fri 12 Dec, 2014 · Fashion, Illustration

Last time, I had made you a list of 5 possible ways to wear a polka dot jacket. Today, I’m showing you different ways to wear a pair of slim cut leather pants!

Since I’ve had it in my closet, you may have noticed I’ve been wearing it every possible way: laid-back, boyish, feminine…it’s an item that goes with everything, and it’s comfy as can be (thanks to the stretchy fabric on the inside of the leg), I’m always up for it!

Which one is your favorite ?

Last time I had asked you to choose your favorite outfit: let’s see which one of those you like best! The one that wins the most votes will be added to the changing Tokyobibis you see on my side bar (have you noticed how she changes every time the page is refreshed?).

The rules are layed out, let’s see if you and I will agree on the best outfit! (English translation by Bleu Marine)

Tricolor Sailor Stripes

Wed 10 Dec, 2014 · Fashion

Stripy jerseys and me…I won’t repeat myself another time about how much I love them, you must very very aware if you follow this blog. I feel like I will never have enough of those stripes: the quest of a life.

The Petit Bateau + Cédric Charlier Collection

So, I was delighted to learn that Petit Bateau, a brand that is very present in my wardrobe, was going to come up with a one off collection from a Belgium designer that I am very fond off, Cédric Charlier. I like his universe both graphic and full of colours (I actually have two jackets that I cherish when the weather gets warmer).

This new collaboration stays true to its style and it’s what I like: he found a way to divert the boating stripy top by cutting into it graphic tricolour stripes. The collection is made of dresses, trouser and sweatshirts, all of it in the same thinking of the “jostled” stripe.

Dress or sweatshirt ?

Petit Bateau asked me to choose my favourite piece of the collection : I hesitated but in the end, I let myself be tempted by the sweatshirt, easier to mix with other outfits.

Today, I am wearing it with a pair of large trousers and trainers but I imagine it would be paired very well ma Carven x Petit Bateau dress or my stripy skirt for a all for one effect. Tips and tricks! (English translation by TradIsa) (Post in collaboration with Petit Bateau)

Kiss Kiss

Mon 8 Dec, 2014 · Fashion

I haven’t really looked into Christmas presents yet, but I found the perfect dress to cut the turkey, or, for a more romantic version, to kiss under the mistletoe. I don’t know yet if I’ll be wearing it for Christmas eve or New Year, but I found it, and that’s the most important part!

I love its skater cut and the cut-out back: simple with that little detail that makes the whole thing special. A couple accessories to spice things up a bit, and that’s all you need for the outfit to be complete.

Maaaaark ! ♥

Apart from that, with the cold weather we’ve been having, I’m on a Christmas rom-com binge: Love Actually (the ultimate cult classic), Serendipity (meh, but it’s set during Christmas), While you were sleeping (Sandra Bullock’s smile never gets old), and Bridget Jones.

I didn’t remember how charismatic Marc Darcy was: this cold and reserved character (reminescent of an english pudding having spent too much time in the fridge) yet with such great potential warmth? Totally my thing (Hiiiiiiiii).

So much soppy sentimentality has clearly rubbed off on me: here I am, sending kisses everywhere and to everyone (and just in case you hadn’t noticed I was sending you all kisses, my bag is a good clue). xoxo (English translation by Bleu Marine)
