MClaren MP4 12C

Not really an "item" that will end up in my wardrobe any time soon - or any where near me for that matter. Don't get me wrong, it's not because I don't want it, but simply because it's completely out of my budget range, so much so it's not even funny. I pride myself in sharing with you affordable clothes and items for the average students/working woman. So forgive me for this not so affordable post :) However, I tagged along with my dad last week to the MClaren Brussels showroom opening where the MClaren MP4-12C car sat on display and still wanted to share with you the pictures from the evening. It was a different kind of event but nonetheless a very fashionable and interesting one. I was lucky enough to chat with the creative mind behind this first ever 'street legal' MClaren - Design Director Frank Stephenson whom attended the opening. I have to say he was as vibrant as the car itself, sharing with us many anecdotes of the fascinating world of automobile design.

The MClaren MP4 12C which was on display was definitely fitting with this fall's colour palette and go to colour - bright orange. Thus if you have the money, and you want to splurge on the perfect orange item may I suggest this beauty. If, like me you don't have that kind of cash lying around I am sure you can find the perfect item as most retailers are doing quite a few pieces in this colour palette. I, on the other hand, must be careful went it comes to orange, as Connie Wang puts it "one orange item too many, and one can look more traffic-cone than traffic-stopper", and as am already sporting my orange do on a daily basis I will need to pick wisely. Any suggestions?

Random pictures at events

Source: sadly can't remember but was taken during the Lancel shop opening in Brussels

Source: The above two pictures were taken by the lovely Monica during the Paris Haute Couture fashion week

Source: I was interview by an online magazine called Treetslook, check them out they have some fun videos personally I hate my accent in this video and I speak way to quickly, but that is just me being picky.

I thought I would share with you the pictures I have on my computer taken by others at the various events I was at during the summer. Leaving Cannes tomorrow, and going back to Brussels just in time for the Brussels Summer Festival.

Finally some pictures from Cannes where I am wearing something 'more decent' than my swimming costume. I love this dress, so easy to wear and can be worn at the beach just as easily as it can be worn out and about in the town. If you don't know the shop StyleNanda it is definitely worth the detour as they have some great stuff at very reasonable prices. Kisses from very sunny Cannes

ps: pictures are taken at Zanzibar in Palm Beach in Cannes

Hi there, sorry for the lack of posts but it's actually been really nice doing absolutely nothing and being far away (to a certain extent) from technology. Here are a few pictures from st tropez and I have some more to share with you tomorrow. As you can see we were not very productive, but it was definitely nice. I am back in Cannes for the next week and I will hopefully have a few outfit pictures for you. For those of you who have an iphone (and have instagram) or twitter you may have noticed that i have been sharing throughout the weeks quick snapshots.
