Trend: OTK socks
Sources: LateAfternoon, Cocorosa and CherryBlossomGirl
After the OTK boots phenomena we have been faced with the OTK socks. A trend that was revived by Gossip Girl fans all over the world and when Carrie was seen sporting them at 30+ (to not say 40) then that was it; OTK sock became a trend to be seen wearing. Sure, the preppy look is inevitable when sporting OTK socks but it doesn’t mean...

Trend: Floor length
Source: Gala
Just like with the wide legs, it’s refreshing to see some floor length skirts and dresses among all the cocoon minis, and shorter than short skirts. They were around all summer being worn in all patterns and colours à la Nicole Richie paired with head bands, gladiators and necklaces. However, this winter they are back in gorgeous greys, creams and black. In my opinion best...

Trend: All Black
Sources: AFashionTale, MissPandora and b-entrance
I have increasingly noticed that the French but also the Nordics do the “All black” trend to perfection (of course they are not the only ones).They either play around with different textures or add a bold and colored accessory which prevents them from looking dull and shapeless. This is another one of my favorite trends maybe due to...

Trend: Black & White
Sources: NextTrend, Hanna&John, LateAfternoon and Natalie
Why ignore the inevitable, the Back&White duo as been around since, well since always, and is here to say. Fashion is a bit like science, while there are some thing we just cannot wrap our heads around, there are others that are pretty easy to grasp, such as Black&White. When it comes to this trend, the rules are pretty...

Trend: Wide legs are back (part 1)
Sources: karla’sCloset, Stephanie and, HautePursuit
No matter how skinnier and tighter our jeans and trousers are becoming, the wide leg always comes back. Nothing says, “I just threw it all together and I came out looking like this”, like a black pair of trousers with something white and crisp. It dresses up your dressed down looks and dresses down your dressed up look,...

Update: Me, a bag and, way too much stuff
As I am sat on the end of my bed staring at my very large, yet not quite large enough, suitcase wishing for it to magically close, I was thinking it was about time I said a bit about my blog. So I have “abandoned” my packing and sat myself in front of an empty post (not really, I am still glancing over my shoulder in the hopes that the damn suitcase as either grown a couples of...

Trend: Dessine moi une Cape
Sources: TinkyMinky and NizzaGirl
Winter is definitely here, and so his the cold. After the fur colar, the faux fur coat and other solution to keep warm, it looks like the ‘cape’ is here for a while.the french were wearing it first and a long time ago, it’s another one of those items that is not only timeless but is passed on from one generation onto another.

Trend: Cargo pants
Sources: AngelineMelin illustrations and NizzaGirl
With so many girls wearing either skinny jeans or leggings when it comes to trousers, it’s pretty refreshing to see some girls in cargo pants. More often than not, these are paired with shirts and/or blazer for that instant pretty look. Love them with chunky heels, ballerina pumps or richelieu lace ups.This is the perfect opportunity to...

Trend: A piece of PVC
Source: Picture reblogged (via sundaygirl)
There was a time, when we would associate pvc with Britney’s “one more time” era or something a hooker would wear. But once Kate Moss was spotted wearing a pair of black pvc pants nicely tucked into a pair of knee length boot, worn with a simple black T-shirt and a lace op, that was it. Pvc were back in fashion, if there ever were.

Trend: Trench and jeans
Sources: TheArtoftheTrench and Next-Trend
Over the years the trench has become not only more feminine but also more youthful. A decade earlier, the same phenomena occurred with jeans, making them today the base of practically every outfit for any event. Today, these two items have become a match made in heaven, making outfit look effortless, youthful yet still looking well put together and...

Trend: Open shirts over T-shirts
Sources: (via fuckyeahskinnybitch) from Lisaplace
I’m a huge fan of men’s clothes on women, especially shirts. Over the last year plaid shirts and denim shirts have made a huge comeback and recently the it girls of the web have started wearing them over T-shirts an leaving them open. They have replaced cardigans or they are simply part of a layered outfit. Personally I think it...

Trend: Rainy not gloomy!
Source: GastroChic, and TheBlondeSalade
Hunter boots have been making Wellingtons since 1856, they are now firmly established as a style classic but also as a great companion to face the rainy days. It’s that time of the year, where is just seems to rain all the time. It’s no that I don’t enjoy having to jump over puddles but I think I would much rather jump in them, and in...

Buy me: Mango shoes
Collage: Me (Mangoshop)
Mango, is one of those shops where I really never know if I am going to find something I like. Some collections are amazing while others I never find anything I like. However they nearly always have great accessorize and shoes. My four favorites this season!
Have a great week-end

Trend: Big shorts
Source: (via fuckyeahfashionn) from behindtheseams
From the catwalks (Dsquared Fall 2009 collection) onto Miss Moss and now sported by our fashion bloggers. It certainly looks like big shorts ( otherwise know as “jupe culotte” in french) have replaced the skinny shorts we had all come gotten use to. Love the grey leopard print in the first picture paired with the black lace top,...
DIY: alexander wang off shoulder poplin shirt
I discovered this blog not long ago and some of the DIY projects are pretty amazing but my favorite DIY project was transforming a man’s white shirt into Alexander Wang’s off the shoulder poplin shirt and the end result is perfect. More so, she makes it look pretty easy and works her off the shoulder look with a very cute leather skirt.
Go check out her other project:...

Trend: Sequin skirt dressed down
Source: (via fuckyeahfashionn)
I might not be sequins number one fan but I do think a little black (or silver if you can pull it off) sequin skirt under a man’s jumper, a simple T-shirt or even a jean shirt. The latter downplay the sequins skirt whilst the sequins bring a something a bit different to these basis items.

Trend: Crochet jumpers
Source: reblogged Picture (via fuckyeahfashionn)
They might remind us of our grand-mothers but nonetheless crochet jumpers made a comeback this summer and fashionistas all over quickly caught up with the trend.
Someone else that quickly caught up the trend and in a colourful way, was H&M. They came up with this crochet jumper à la Sonia Rykiel. I really like the way Coline pairs hers with...
Buy me: Soft pink blazer
Sources: Late Afternoon and MyDailyStyle
After seeing a couple of fashionistas sporting gorgeous soft pink blazers, I knew I had to have one. I am not a huge fan of pink, actually I don’t think I own anything pink (purple yes, pink nope). Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the only thing I have in common with supermodel Lily Cole, is our bright red hair. So I’m not...

Trend: Fur collar
Source: TheSartorialist
Love this picture, and ever since I saw it I have 1) gone digging for my old brown tweed jacket and 2) gone on a wild hunt for the perfect little fur collar/wrap. I cant decide on the size nor can I decide on the colour. But I do love i over a black cardigan, a green trench or a tweed jacket so I am looking forward to finding the perfect one before winter is over,...

"Carnaval de Rio meets Disney meets Fashion"
We read about it, we saw pictures of the garments and previews of the show and finally the show has arrived. We were promised a fantasy world where “Alice in wonderland meets Disney and it would be anything but ordinary”. But will it meet our expectations? (5 minutes to go)
Live from the Grand Palais in Paris, the fairy tale begins. So this is what Alice felt like when she walked...

Trend: Charcoal over-sized coats
Source: Style.com
These manly looking over-sized coats were seen gracing the catwalks of the 2009 F-W fashion shows-Isabel Marant, Vanessa Bruno, Maje, The Kooples (just to name a few). And for once H&M was no catching up with the trend. It had a coat out last year that was extremely similar (see here on Betty and Tokyobanhdao). They were thrown over ultra light and feminine dresses,...
