Mr. Nixon

You would have though it was winter looking at my previous outfit post, but summer is here and it's great (appart from the very real fact that I am still in the midst of my exams). My pale little legs where exposed to UK sunlight for the first time in a very long time, and shortly after these pictures were taken together with a couple of nice walks and outings and I find myself burnt, oh so very very burnt. very few can accomplish what I did this weekend and it takes a real redhead to get so burnt under 17° of sun. So any way I have some colour now, hat is the upside to it all :)

And for some details, I actually really like this watch which was gifter to me by the bf some time last year. It is a limited edition that Nixon made for Colette (paris) and I was immediately draw to this as the three colours brought back so many memories of my childhood, I think it has to do with my, then, obsession with lego.

We have a Winner

Hope that everyone had a great weekend, I know I did even though very hectic. Just a quick outfit post before I leave for Brussels (or try to anyway) and of course the long awaited result of the big Giveaway. But firstly, a huge and warm thank you to everyone whom participated, it was great fun for me and it was nice to discover some of my readers, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I am looking forward taken some pictures and outfit post in Belgium, I haven't been back in quite a while.

A perfect outfit for this mid-season delight, the sun is definitely here but it's still not quite warm enough to shed the tights, which suits me just fine as my legs are not ready yet after a winter of being tucked away. Also, I am clueless as to how I am going to get them looking, well, just plain healthy will do. One of the 'difficulties' of being a redhead, the pale skin, not that I mind it, I have gotten use to it in last years, it took a while thought. But I wouldn't mind to have a bit of colour and glow on my legs. So if anyone has a miracle/secret solution, please di share.

GIVEAWAY WINNER: now for the moment you have all been waiting for (I do hope you haven't all scrolled down to the bottom of the page and ignoring my lovely outfit). The winner is 'A.CO' (corresponding to n°53 assigned by me). Congratulations and I will be in contact soon to discuss the delivery of  your prizes. One last thank you to the contributors of this giveaway!

How did I pick the winner? Firstly, I didn't pick anyone I used www.random.org. Secondly, each participant was assigned a number starting from the oldest to the lastest comments (n°1 to n° 82 valid comments). Then I checked all the tweets and gave each valid tweet a number (n°83 to n°102). As promised those who tweeted go an extra comment, in this case an extra number. Thus, 20 participants had two numbers as they very kindly tweeted the giveaway too. Quite simple, and very fair play.

I hope you enjoyed this and I am looking forward to organizing a new giveaway soon!

A kid in a candy store

First of all Happy Easter and thanks for all your kind wishes! I hope you are all having a great weekend and making the most of this mini break. I, on the other hand I'm working, working and working...

A couple of reasons why I am Hype(e)d (with a Capital 'H' and two 'E's). First of all, I am this weeks cover girl for the 'Denim Revival' trend in Hypeed's latest webzine. Do check it out and let me know what you think. I have recently updated my 'featured in' page, so I'll take this opportunity to thank everyone that has featured my looks on their blogs and a warm thank you to Ela Wood who has shown more support han I could wish for!

Secondly, I have just received my Yaz T-shirt today in the post, courtesy of Hypeed in collaboration with Yaz, Paris.  Nothing sells a garment like unique and creative packaging and I must admit I loved the idea of my T-shirt being delivered in what looks like a Vinyl case. Thanks again for the lovely T-shirt!! I will try and share some pictures with you as soon as I get some free time. Talking of packaging I went to an 'original' sweet shop today, literally like a kid in candy store, because a bit of fun never killed anyone!

Candy, more candy and rows and rows of candy, happy easter to me!
