Galaxi Print

 As most of you may or may not know, depending on when you started following me and my little blog, I actually started my blog by doing trend post twice a week. It was a fun and a bit of a different way to discover, not only new bloggers but also the trends of the blogosphere. Because as you might have realised by now, the trends here in the blogosphere are inspired by the catwalks but still more "daring & baring" than your normal street style looks. Anyway, I have been receiving quite a number of emails over the last year asking me to please start them again. So here goes, today's trend is the galaxi print first seen on Christopher Kane's designs about a year ago. This trend for some reason was not so quick to be taken up my the fashion bloggers but in recent weeks it sure has been all about these galaxi prints.

Romwe seems to have done a good job attracting bloggers to its online shop with its version of a galaxi print skirt as seen on the first three bloggers. I have to say that even though I am not a huge fan of the colours used in this design I really like the asymmetrical skirt itself. I am particularly loving Mio's and Samie's laid back looks.

So, will you be trying the galaxi print any time soon?

Brown & fringed

There seem to be a growing pattern lately in my shoe departement; brown and fringed. Any particular trends you are going for lately?

1. Brown sued booties from Mango (winter 2010) 2.  Mocassins or Minnetonkas from h&M (this season), as seen here and here 3. Fringed suede heels from Mango

Whilst on the subject of all things fringed, I thought I would share with you one of Hypeed's previous magazine 'Fringe benefit' as it was pretty coherent with this post and has some nice ideas.

Don't forget, I have a small yet hopefully fun giveaway for your guys tomorrow. so stay tuned for it!

Not what it seems

I have realised over the weekend that lately I have had so much to share with you that it has been a long time since I have done a 'Trend post' (which is really at the heart of my blog). Zara seems to be very good lately has producing very 'wanted' pieces especially with the blogger community and their 'imitation sheepskin skirt', otherwise know as Zara's look alike schoolgirl faux leather skirt, is no exception. I actually really like this new take on the 'original' pencil leather skirt and the shape make it that much more wearable. Here, it is seen paired with a light cream jumper or with a shirt to play on the schoolgirl element of the skirt.

You can get your hands on this skirt from Zara's online shop (now shipping to Belgium too) HERE.

P.S: Thank you to all of those who sent me emails over the weekend concerning the article in the (paper version) Vif Weekend. Your kind words were all very much appreciated, so thank you for all your support. I have to say I was delighted to see that I was sharing the page with Stèv (whom I meet recently and is just an amazing, creative and fun person), author and creator of the blog Monsieur/Mademoiselle
