Pretty new things

1. Two new bags from VJStyle. I am fully aware that there is a strong ressemblance to the LV x Coppola bags. I stumbled unto this website thanks to this French blogger who mentioned this seller on several occasions and gave some pretty good reviews. I thought I would try them out myself, while waiting to be able to afford the actual dream bag itself. Which, quite frankly, I think is a very reasonable thing to do. Let's face it, I started this blog to share my affordable finds on the internet. Thus, unless someone is going to be über kind and buy me this bag, or I get promoted to some amazing job, it won't be just yet that I will be buying the real deal. A few words on the quality and customer service; so far so good, for the small amount I paid the quality is not bad at all, the customer service is fantastic, and they were delivered in five days.

2.Great statement necklace from Forever21.

3. Narciso Rodriguez Essence perfume c/o of the man :)

4. The perfect little card holder c/o Sal Y Limon and my latest cards c/o Cointreau and Oona

5. Yes to Carrots (no pun intended) lip tint and balm from Sephora

6. A plethora of wonderful wool and tweed jackets, coats and skirt c/o Mina Art (which is a wonderful Italian brand, do check it out! and you will be seeing their clothes very soon)

So after 5 years of moving all over the place I have accumulated more clothes than I care to admit, so it is about time i slowly start finding new homes for the clothes I never got around to wear, that have too many duplicates, that have been worn once and deep down know that I will never wear again and really just anything that has been locked away for too long. Everything I am selling has either been worn once (or twice) or never at all. During the next couple of days I thought I would show you what I am getting rid off before selling them on Ebay and/or Vestiaire de copines. I will be in Brussels throughout the whole weekend thus if you are interested in anything please do let me know before sunday evening as after that I am going on holiday for three weeks. All payments are done via PAYPAL (thefashioncloud@gmail.com). Don't hesitate to email me if you want more pictures or any further information. IT ALL NEEDS TO GO :)

VIDE DRESSING

Avis au Belges et surtout aux Bruxelloises (et même au Bruxellois), Cyrielle, CandiceNadia et moi même nous organisons un ENORME vide dressing ce vendredi 19 Aout sur Bruxelles. On a beaucoup a vendre à des prix très doux et surtout très abordable, le but pour ma part étant de donner une vie à mes pauvre habits qui ne sont pas assez portés à mon goût. C'ets ce qui arrive lorsqu'on est une 'shoppeuse' compulsive on achète trop, trop souvent et il n'y a pas assez de jours pour les mètrent tous. Aussi, étant donné que je déménage je n'aurai pas la place pour tout le monde, donc c'est l'occasion pour vous de dégotter des bonnes affaires et de venir boire un petit verre avec nous. Si cela vous intéresse laissez moi votre adresse email et je vous envoie de suite l'invitation. Et je vous laisse avec un petit aperçu de ce qui vous attends - entre autre du Topshop, Zara, Urban Outfitters, Levi's, Asos, Mango, Newlook, H&M et quelques pièces vintages ...

EN: This post is mainly for Belgian readers, but if you live in Brussels and are interested, myself and three others are organising a huge yard sale this Friday 19 August, so if you are interested please leave me your email adress and I will be sure to send you the invitation.Here is a small preview of some of the things I will be selling.

Louise Night/ coups de coeurs

10 shops & 10 'coups de coeurs'

1. The perfect colourful skinny jeans from the Spanish brand Cimarron (check out their website its pretty good), found at Pulsion ( 17 A, Avenue de la Toison d'Or)

 

2. The ideal little weekend bag from Pepe jeans ( 10 A, Gallerie Toison d'Or)

 

3. The most amazing pair of white trousers, perfect for summer, not transparant and with some lovely structured pockets, from Agnès b. (27, Boulevard de Waterloo)

 

4. I love a good statement necklace and this has to be the most beautiful one I have seen in a while, love the mix of texture from Max Mara (19, Avenue Louise)

 

5. This bag is gorgeous (available in two sizes - pictures is the larger version and available in a multitude of colours) from La Furla (58 A, Avenue Louise)

 

6. I found the absolute perfect print trousers, snake skin print to be precise from zara - as seen on me here - (8, Avenue Louise)

 

7. The perfect day - to - night maxi dress from Bel Air in a  gorgeous powder pink, available at No Concept (94 C, Avenue Louise)

8. The new "Ava shopping" is the new 'it bag' over at Tods, a bit pricey but such an amazing leather/suede (46, Boulevard de Waterloo)

These 'coups de coeurs' were done in the context of the Louise Summer Night 2011.  I was kindly invited into these shops in order to pick out my favourite item for summer from each shop, you will find them exposed on the night of the 23 June.  I still have to to go Veritas (an amazing place in Belgium where you can find everything you need for your DIYs) and Planet Parfum, which I will post shortly.

If you are in brussels on the 23 June don't hesitate to come to Avenue Louise and join us for a fashionable evening in Brussels where most of the shops of Avenue Louise will be open to the public.  Also if you wish to have VIP tickets (which you need to get into the shops at night), drop me a line here as I still have some tickets (for 2 people) left.  I hope to see as many of you there on the 23 June!
