Marni for H&M jacket

Sources: Elin Kling, Sofie and Sandra

Just like the previous years, I managed to be out of town when the Marni (for H&M) mania hit the streets. As I knew I wouldn't be in town, and I did not have the heart to ask one of my friends to stand in line in the cold streets of Brussels as of 5am, I sort of clocked out on the thought of getting any of the key pieces. This being said, I did - as a hopeful child would - on my return to Brussels check out the H&M store in Brussels. To my surprise (but not really) some of the - most expensive - pieces were still there and in quantities. One of which was the gorgeous leather/cotton bomber jacket. The one thing I had really nit counted on, is it being prices at a whooping 199€. Price tag aside, I still find this jacket amazing, just not sure how much use I will get out of it. Yes, I know I sound like a dinosaur talking about practicality in the world of fashion, what can I say. So I went home empty handed and waiting for the regret to settle in.

Did you score anything, your favourite items? Did you patiently wait in line? Bid furiously on eBay? or simply was not impressed?

Percy Stone giveaway

ph/ Private

As promised I have a great giveaway to offer my lovely readers. You might recognise these pictures from a previous post. Many of you commented on the gorgeous scarf I was wearing and I am very happy to say that three of you will be walking away with the Percy Stone scarf of your choice. I am really excited about this giveaway as one of the co-founders of Percy Stone is a really good - great - friend of mines, and very talented as well. The pair of them founded PERCY STONE in 2011, and trust me they are here to stay. "Their quirky idea of creating a scarf collection was formed after years of endless shopping trips and returning home scarf-less! Due to the lack of good quality scarves, which are colourful, fun and easy to wear at a reasonable price, they decided to start their own brand."

The rules - as always - are very simple and transparent :)

1. Like the Percy stone Facebook page 2. Browse their S/S 2012 collection (either on the Facebook page or the Percy Stone web page) and decide which two scarves you prefer 3. Leave a comment with the URL to your two preferred scarves 4. Sit back and wait and on Friday 9 March three lucky winners will receive one of the two scarves they chose - according to the availability. 5. Finally, Good Luck and have fun!

The leather skirt

Brought out the paper bag leather skirt from River Island, it's good but not perfect. I am on the hunt for that perfect leather skirt, any ideas? I saw one in H&M the other day, I might just have to try it out. However, lately I am more keen on putting my money aside to furnish the apartment :) I might have to do an apartment inspiration post one of these days with all the pics I have put aside.

Two toned heels

H&M has made me proud again. I had seen these a while back but I thought that they would only be sold in Sweden. Then, to my delight, I came across them during my shooting for River Island in Antwerp.
