Crazy nails

crazy nails stripped top

ph/private

A while back I saw this gorgeous picture on Instagram of these crazy nails and just had to give it a try. Mine are no where near as gorgeous but I quite liked the final result. The only real reason I wear nail polish is to avoid me bitting me nails so I don't often try anything exotic whit them.

The flower shirt

//WEARING// Zara jeans (A/W 2010) Zara shirt and blazer (A/W 2011) Mango boots Swatch watch

Here is the third outfit post this week. I said I would be experimenting more with patterns and here is the result. I am a bit sad that this shirt is already everywhere online, but I have to say that the checked blazer is really perfect. I would probably wear it more often with skinny jean sor black jeans rather than these flared trousers. I wanted to wish my American readers a wonderful thanksgiving and a crazy black Friday :)

The perfect tweed coat

//WEARING// Queen's wardrobe tweed jacket River Island top Asos jeans Zara bag New Look flats

I brought this tweed jacket a bit more than a year ago from Queen's Wardrobe, and I have never regretted it. It is the perfect in-between-seasons- coats. Enjoying my time in Paris, and I seem to be doing a lot of baking lately. So I added a new category in my blogroll - Foods blogs - be sure to check them out. And of course, if you have any great food blogs I haven't listed please do share, or any recipes I should try.

Essentiel at Miele catwalk

I was lucky enough to be invited last Thursday to the Miele catwalk, but even better was the lovely invitation we got from Inge Onsea- the brain and inspiration behind the Belgian brand Essentiel - to spend the afternoon with her backstage. I always find these kind of invitations fun and interesting, but this time it was so much more than simply 'interesting', it was truly a wonderful experience. Inge and Tom - the other creative genius behind Essentiel - are the perfect duo, bouncing ideas off of each other and complementing one another to perfection. They are all smiles and giggles, and are both clearly the inspiration behind this youthful and colourful brand catering to the carefree woman. And check out those green and red leather jacket that they did for this F/W 2011 collection, they are simply gorgeous.

PS: Inge is the gorgeous lady in the bright yellow coat and Tom is the one sporting the great bomber jacket.

As always Filles à papa were amazing, Bshirt was fun and laid-back and Lenny Leleu was my discovery of the evening.

A huge thank you to Miele for putting on a wonderful show, to Oona -especially Marie - for always thinking of me, and to Inge and Tom for the openness and free spirit.
