Go-out jumpsuit

Wed 10 Sep, 2014 · Fashion

When I choose clothes, I think I already mentioned that I never think of adding to my “going out” garments. And most of the time, when I am invited to special events (so not every day), I don’t know what to wear…

I decided to remedy at that little by little by picking this jumpsuit that will be my go-to option when I flap about what to wear to go out.

It is sober, has a little breathing patch in the back and more importantly it is very comfortable…essential! If a party outfit can be as comfy as lounging in a fleece blanket in front of the tv I say Goaaaaal ! (English translation by Isa)

My “duobag”

Wed 3 Sep, 2014 · Fashion

Back to school means new school bag! …well, school bag…it’s actually much to small for to fit such a purpose.

You probably know of Céline’s famous triobag? It’s simple, minimalist, and quite pretty, but I never found it 100% perfect. I didn’t really like the press-studs that hold the 3 compartments together.

I don’t know why, but I always told myself that if a scoundrel (=I’m trying to get that word back out on the street) were to pull just a little bit, he could easily run away with the complete contents of the bag…Yes, I am a bit paranoid, I’ve been taking the parisian metro for too long now.

So when I saw this one, I thought it would be a bit more reassuring: it looks like it’s second-cousin to the triobag (a triobag with only 2 compartments), but everything is held together nicely…which doesn’t mean I’m not watching out for potential reprobates (=other ancient word I’m trying to dust off). But that doesn’t tell us: what do you think of my “duobag”? (English translation by Bleu Marine)

I love derby shoes. You already saw me with different pairs (brown or varnished). I had my eye on the two-toned Sandro derbies from this spring, but hadn’t managed to find them in my size during the sales. I had resigned myself, thinking it wasn’t meant to be…Until I found those!!! See the resemblance?

Sometimes it’s better to take your time: and your dream-shoes will find their way to your closet ! (English translation by Bleu Marine)
