Outfit Post : A little bit less Feminine


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.

Shopping : Have You Visited LULĂ™ ?



The first time I discovered  Lulu` Boutique, I was driving to Busy Bee for cannoli. I was determinedly focused on convincing my parking angels to help me, when out of the corner on my eye an eye-catching blue shop front with a pretty display caught my attention. Food, and cannoli in particular, are of utmost importance but priorities are priorities and I found myself stopping and parking further up from Busy Bee, leaving the car and somehow walking towards this shop. 

This was actually about a year ago and it's one of those stories I've always meant to tell, but somehow I kept putting on the back burner. Recently, however, I visited the store and since this was a planned exploration, my camera actually came with me and kept itself busy, whilst I gabbed with Marisa the owner and looked around.

The shop has actually been open since April 2013 and they have different stuff for lots of different tastes and ages - I saw pieced I'd recommend to my mother and pieces that I gave a new home to. The shop is not a franchise, so it doesn't stock one particular brand or other - there are different pieces sourced from many different brands. This means you're never quite sure what you'll find. Shops like this are not that common anymore and whilst I love my favourite franchise stores, sometimes, I miss that feeling of simply popping in to see what they have rather than going straight for that piece you've spotted on the net. 




So my camera took these pics - intelligent ain't it ? It spotted this lace blazer below at once, it's perfect for wearing over a coloured dress to a Spring morning wedding or simply out to dinner over jeans on a breezy night.



This a-line skirt and crop top below is one of the cutest little outfits ever 



70s vibe all the way


And as per the usual for my shopping posts, there are even more photos for you to filter through, in the slideshow below






For the finer details of life : Lulu` Boutique is open from Monday to Saturday from 9.30a.m to 19.30p.m. We are in Malta so you know - there is ‘Lulu Boutique, Msida’ on Facebook.

My Styling Work : Male Trends for Spring&Summer


This week I decided I felt like conducting a spot of impromptu male Spring/Summer styling, so I accosted poor Rickie (who was really not at all amused) at Armani Jeans Baystreet and persuaded him into modelling three outfits for me 

The first outfit is perfect for the current weather....a light blazer (loving the textured material and those buttons!), a bright tee, jeans, light coloured brogues, an optional light scarf and a lovely leather bag to carry all your earthly possessions.. 






Second outfit gets a bit tougher, a leather jacket with chrome trimmings , a striped black&grey polo, white long shorts and trainers....a very 'in trend' look that's both cool and hipster at the same time. I have to give a bit of more attention to the jacket....I love leather, that's a fact but this is a really beautiful jacket and really lightweight..and impressively soft.





And for the last outfit, my favourite...we've got a bit more fun, polka dot! shirt , long blue shorts and espadrilles! and an optional straw hat addition that Rickie hated and I loved ...oh and yea awesome electric blue sunglasses ....super duper fun!






Hope you like my work! Would love some feedback...telling me which is your favourite and if there is anything you hate .:)

Outfit Post : High Tea, Scones and a Helping of Pink



Last weekend I received a lovely invitation from Corinthia Palace Hotel (Attard, Malta) inviting me and three friends over for high tea....seeing as it was a very exhausting week/month/life this invitation was received with a lot of glee and I immediately set about planning the event. I rounded up my friends and on Sunday afternoon off we went.


Delicious Scones!

I decided to wear something cool and fun and yes more pink..I'm in a pink phase..can't be helped...

So a checked blazer that doesn't get enough wear...a sequinned knit top that I adore..skinny jeans that probably get too much wear, a pair of retro winter boots and another cute pink Coccinelle bag were the order of the day. Last but not least a fabulous pair of earrings from Marpesia&Co!


Blazer : Benetton / Top : Zara / Shoes : London / Jeans : New Look / Bag : Coccinelle / Earrings : Marpesia&Co


The high tea was wonderful, with lots of different sandwiches, mini deserts.. scrumptious scones and of course lots of tea...the presentation was perfect as was the attentive service...we had a really wonderful time and spent over three hours there !





Mouth Watering Deserts

Check out the smiles on a super happy well-fed group of girls
Finishing off with a bottle of Prosecco



If you're looking for a great way to spend an afternoon / late evening and a chance to catch up with some old friends then I really suggest visiting the Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa for this champagne high tea, it's a wonderful way to spend a good 3 - 4 hours.

Shopping Post : Men and Blazers

I love a man in a nice suit, after all, give me a perfectly tailored blue suit and a crisp white shirt ad it onto a dashing man aka James Bond (Sean Connery) and I'm good to go. A lot of men however, don't feel quite the same way about suits...a few too many of them detest wearing suits..With more and more companies abandoning the idea of formal dress codes for work and accepting casual wear, men have now grown accustomed to being comfortable and now view suits as though they are little, evil, green-headed monsters...created with the sole purpose of making men suffer.

Enter the BLAZER, the humble blazer owes its origins to the pedigree of the United Kingdom. To be precise to the Lady Margaret Boat Club (the rowing club of St. John's College, Cambridge), the men wore red blazers in the 1800s. The great thing about a blazer, whilst still ultimately being a fitted jacket is that it can be worn over a t-shirt, over jeans, over a crisp white shirt...basically does not call for the whole formal ensemble but it still can be worn that way if wanted.

One of the best places to buy a nice male blazer from is Tommy Hilfiger, they have lovely tweed and velvet options which along with plaid, are my current fave blazer types. 

Some picks rom Tommy Hilfiger Malta below : Although these pics show them styled with ties and shirts, this is not the only way to wear them, they'd look really great over a sweater/v-neck/t-shirt/open shirt!










And because little boys should look as good as their dads....


In Malta, Tommy Hilfiger Stores can be found in Baystreet Shopping Complex Paceville and in Valletta.Hilfiger Denim Stores can be found at The Point and in also Valletta (in Valletta same store as Tommy Hilfiger - basement level).

I also suggest wholeheartedly that you LIKE their facebook page right here.
