Outfit Post : A little bit of denim, a little bit of rubber

 By: Unknown    00:21  No comments

About two weeks ago, I both attended and worked backstage at The Pink fashion Sho. This summer edition was set up with a whole sports theme including a fantastic catwalk resembling a race track. When we received the invite asking us to wear flats and rubber soles.

I immediately only wanted to wear heels so it took me a while to decide what to wear. Ok time for honesty - this was one of those frivolous days where I actually went out and got a brand new pair of shoes for the night. The problem was that I had recently used these same shoes when styling the fashion editorial for Style magazine. When I saw the words rubber soles on the invite..I think you get the gist....no outfit could possibly be complete without them.

Outfit Post : Food, Metallics and Birkenstocks

 By: Unknown    22:21  No comments

What do you get when you mix a trip to Buskett, a burger t-shirt, a hungry, funny, hubby photographer and shoes with pink soles? Well, a bundle of laughter and a lot of fun.

I don't always enjoy shooting my outfit posts. I especially hate it at events, when there are so many people around and of course they all have to watch. Also, I'm a stylist - I'm used to being behind the camera, making sure all the clothes look good, when I'm being shot, I can't stop fussing about whether or not everything looks right.

However, sometimes there are exceptions, times when I really enjoy it and have a whale of a time. This shoot was one of those and everything about it simply made me smile.

I decided to wear my new Burger T-shirt - I talked about this here - after launching in Paris and Italy, McDonald's have launched their new food-inspired apparel line in Malta. I'm also sporting a brand new haircut - it's back to the curls for summer and my shoes have pink soles - enough said.

Outfit : Once Upon A Dress

 By: Unknown    12:02  No comments

If you're a regular reader, you must know I love wearing yellow - I've only mentioned it like a zillion times. I wore this lovely outfit to the LIST ROMA and Luisa Spagnoli fashion show last week - it's one of my favourite recent outfits. I love it because one it's yellow, two because it's such a beautiful dress and three, because I felt the jacket gave the dress a bit of a different look, made it look a bit different to the way others would wear it perhaps. Both the jacket and dress are from LIST ROMA so I was perfectly in theme for the occasion.

I also asked for my hair to be styled a bit differently that night too, I felt that a bit of volume would lend itself better to the outfit, the fact that it was also a very windy night helped to ensure the volume stayed put.

 It really was a very cold night so the jacket didn't stay off for very long

Outfit : FitFlopping Away

 By: Unknown    01:00  No comments

The first day of Malta Fashion Week was a loooong one. I was working from early morning, helping to plan and sort out all the clothes, with Marisa Grima for the Point Fashion Show. The smart person that I am decided that that day would be a perfect day to try out a new pair of FitFlops I had just got. 

Fit flops are marketed as caffeine for your feet - they are extremely comfortable once broken in, but they come with a warning to wear progressively to avoid muscle soreness. Their micro wobble technology basically promotes the right leg and bum muscles into working more which in turn leads to better posture and toned muscles. I don't really know if they're actually toning my bum or not, a bit hard to tell since I also work out - who knows which is doing what. On that day though, what with all the walking up and down stairs and endless walking around whilst wearing these fit flops - my quads and calves were on fire. By the evening, it felt like I had just done two gym workouts back-to-back.

Onto the rest of the outfit and my dress is from that shop I told you about some time ago Lulu Boutique, a few people have come to tell me that they visited the store after reading my post and loved it so if you missed that one - read about LULU here.

And now for the hair - I had those braids done the previous day for the fashion week launch party. I love braids, they're so much fun and they were absolutely perfect for ensuring my hair stayed in place for the entire day throughout all the hectic activity. If you're curious as to what I wore that evening - you can check it out right here.

Outfit Post : A little bit less Feminine

 By: Unknown    04:20  1 comment

For the last night at Malta Fashion Week, I decided to do something a bit different. This look is much less feminine than some of my usual looks involving dresses or skirts and nipped in waists, this is a bit more menswear-inspired. I also decided that an undone, vintage cravat would complete the 'borrowed from the men' idea.

To complete the look, I left my makeup a bit neutral, just a hint of dark eyes and my hair quite fuss-free - flat and straight.

Tuxedo Jacket: Alexander McQueen
Cravat: Vintage
Trousers: Gianfranco Ferre
Shoes: Buffalo
Bag: Marc Jacobs
Shirt: Zara

Street Style in Malta

 By: Unknown    05:08  No comments

Malta is renowned for many things but most of all for our gorgeous, warm sea and glorious sunny days. It is a fact that most ‘Maltesers’ hate cold weather and as a result, many tend to hibernate during the colder part of the year, swamping themselves in huge jackets when they do venture outdoors. It’s Spring now, and the days have got warmer and longer leading to most of us giving  a huge sigh of relief, end the forced hibernation and renew their interest in fashion.

The concept of street style in Malta is actually a relatively new thing. As a rule of thumb, we can be quite conservative and this mentality has generally extended itself to fashion. Up till a few years ago, the idea of individuality in the way we dress was something virtually unheard of. Times have changed however and now more and more people are choosing to express themselves and make a statement with their look. From the clothes we wear, the colour we choose to colour their hair, body piercings and tattoos - fashion individuality is becoming a marked presence on our streets. 

On a sunny Saturday afternoon, I took to the streets of Sliema with photographer Kurt Paris to spot as many interesting and varied looks as possible. The people spotted range from Maltese-born, expats - men and women alike. 

There are some interesting trends around - jeans and denim, in general, remains a popular choice of garment for many people. I also spotted a lot of sneakers, some of them bright and colourful. Designer bags are always popular here, many women opt for a simple, polished, look paired with a designer bag; logo, monogrammed designer bags tend to generate a higher surge of interest than plainer options. It’s also interesting to note that on a relatively warm day, there were still people wearing thick jackets.
