Do you remember when, a few days ago I asked you on Instagram to help me choose between the two pairs of shoes I just ordered on Sarenza? Well, it was really nice and fun to receive all of your feedback! As you can see, in the end I choose the blue and gold ones from Georgia Rose!!

Even though they were already my favorites from the beginning, I was not sure if they would fit so I ordered as well another model, the yellow and white one, just in case. I jumped on the occasion especially as the exchanges and returns are free of charges on Sarenza.

I really loved the combination between the blue suede and gold semi leather… I am already wearing them a lot as they fit perfectly with my new favorite pair of jeans! And you, which one would you have chose??

As I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis (fashion, deco, food etc..), I thought I should share with you some of my favorites in a recurring series which I named: Blog Crush! So here are my first three must read fashion blogs! And please, do let me know in the comments below who are your favorite bloggers as I am always looking to add some to my reading list…

I had an instant crush on this blog and its beautiful dreamy imagery! Sarah Yates, the photographer & blogger behind A House in the Hills will not only inspire you by her simple and yet sophisticate style but she will make your mouth drawl over her deliciously looking recipes! Chef, globetrotter, interior designer and founder of Birds of Feather, her blog is definitely worth a look!

Shini Park, the London based Korean photographer and graphic designer is as well among my favorite fashion bloggers as again, her photos are simply beautiful, her style is effortlessly chic and her writing, truthful.

DIY queen, GIF master, set designer and cook, how not to love Lisa, the talented multitasking Parisian? Bursting with creativity and energy, it’s always a pleasure to discover what she has planned for her readers, as her blog is more about giving and sharing than self flattering. More than a simple blogger she’s a real visual artist!

So, did you already knew some of them?

Throwback Thursday, selfies, shoes, work, etc… Here is a little Instagram recap of my last few weeks! Don’t forget to follow me here for instant updates.

First, a picture collage from my time spend working at Alexander McQueen resurfaced when I was tidying up the studio. Those pictures were taken during one of the fitting with his favorite model. She had, according to him, the perfect measurements, and was flown to London whenever required as all the show’s pieces where molded on her lean figure.

This is probably one of the only picture I have of him…

I am not a selfie addict but I do indulge from time to time. Here I am, heading out to meet my friends for a girls night out. The weather had been so mild over here that I could finally wear one of my favorite mid season coat (worn also here) from Coast bought on Zalando. As for the shoes they are from Zinda and the jeans from Mango.

My lovely Olivetti 32 blue typewriter found in Brussels vintage market (Place du Jeu de balle) and my new everyday ballerinas from Wonders. I couldn’t resist to their little bows and painted faces!

A little glimpse into my house with another of my vintage find, this time from the Petits Riens, still in Brussels. Can you believe I only paid 40 euro for this machine! It dates from the early 1910-1920. I love how the brand name is molded above the feet. The dress on the left is one of my own design that you might have seen here before.

Here are some of my sketches of a dress I was developing for a client. I was illustrating different variation on the same thematic. I love this part of the process as it is about finding the right middle between my vision and hers.

In late January I attended the catalogue shoot of the Belgian designer Marc-Philippe Coudeyre, which was very special for me as I developed all the patterns for his collection. It was also the first time I saw all the clothes I developed together with him as a whole, worn on a real model and not just as prototypes. I cannot show you the pictures now as the collection is not officially out yet but as soon as I can, I will post them here!

Another designer flashback picture with Alexis Mabille and I. This picture was taken at the show after party at his Parisian apartment. I worked in his studio for a few months when I was still living in Paris. At that time he was starting to be famous with his eponymous line after working many years as an accessory designer for Dior (under the direction of John Galliano) and Yves St Laurent.

And to end… My first day of the year without boots, winter shoes or socks! Of course it deserved a picture 😉

Hi guys! Say hello to my first shopping post, hopefully the first of a regular series… The reason why I never did shopping post is because I didn”t really shop regularly, contrarily to what some of you may think, I can usually go months without buying any clothing items and wake up one day craving something after either seeing it in a magazine, on a blogger or simply after saying good bye to one of my favorite item…

This is actually how this post came to my mind… Lately I have been obsessed with denim as I had to say goodbye to my favorite pair of black jeans, which was also my only black one (I told you I was not a big shopper 😉 Anyway… I had this pair for over 5 years and although it was really good quality, it started to crack, so I had to let it go. Which made me rethink my jeans situation as my other favorite blue pair from BCBG also let me down after 3-4 years. I knew I needed to rebuild my basis… And as I don’t really trust jeans from Zara and all for my key pieces (as they don’t last very long), I started the search of my new perfect pair of quality jeans, to replace my dear black Radcliffe and blue BCBG…

The good thing was that my favorite online shop, was holding a massive denim sales with up to 60% off, so I jumped on the occasion and ended up ordering not one, but two pairs (this one from Koral and that one from James Jean)!

This is why I thought it would be a great idea to share with you some of my findings (especially as some of the sales are still on) as everyone needs a good pair of jeans! Isn’t it? I am curious to know, which is the favorite pair you own?

In the meantime I will wait patiently for my two pairs to arrive…!
