Outfit Post : In Winter I Wear Capes & Hats



This cape that I got from Paris makes me feel brilliant..besides the fact that I love the style and its made from beautiful soft wool, it hides literally ALL my sins and trust me after Christmas there are a few too many of them...

I recently watched the Downton Abbey Christmas Special and if you did you must have noticed the hats - oh my god there were so many different, stunning ones - the milliner must have worked for months on end on those beauties. I bring up the subject of hats because as you may have realised I'm wearing a cloche hat and believe it or not, this is my first cloche hat. Yes, the girl who has way too many hats to count has never up till now worn or owned a proper cloche hat. Although I think I'm glad I waited, this way when I met this perfect Coccinelle one, it got the greeting it deserved and a nice big fat smile.





If you're wondering where I wore this outfit to, well it came out with me sale shopping around Sliema last Saturday. A rare Saturday off that I spent with my mother and thoroughly enjoyed. One of my 2015 resolutions is to find a way to have more time to relax and do other things besides work, at least in January it's proving to be somewhat doable...what about you guys have you kept your resolutions ?

Outfit Post : Different Shades of BLACK



Once you've gotten over the fact that my hair is straight, here's what I wore to the F&F launch party this week. It's funny how familiarity works, I've had my hair this straight quite a few times over the last year but it seems that after a summer of curls, everyone forgothttp://www.carolinefashionstyling.com/2014/12/outfit-post-different-shades-of-black.html. Basically, last Winter I got the Keratin Brazilian treatment applied and decided to go for it again this year - I find 'straighter' hair much easier to manage in the Winter months. To all those curl lovers (my hubby being one of them, ...they'll be back..and change is fun :) ).

Wearing all-black is not that 'normal' for me, in general, I'm quite a colourful person and tend to gravitate towards patterns, colours and all things bright. I enjoyed wearing this look though and I think I might just try total black again sometime soon. 




Now these boots (Nero Giardini at Stivaletti) are a recent acquisition and I'm completely head-over-heels in love with them..the comfort is unparalleled, the quality of the leather is superb and I think the design is stunning - only problem - I decided to wear them on the one day in the year when it wouldn't stop raining...so my poor boots got wet on their first outing, I'm sure they cried big, plonky tears when I wasn't looking.

Shopping : Let's stroke some leather at Coccinelle


I've decided to post not one but two shopping posts this week and the second one is at Coccinelle who just last week hosted a super event whereby shoppers were sent a piece of material which they then had to pair with a bag and possibly win said bag. I'm really loving their current collection, the colours are so vibrant and beautiful, the leather so soft and supple.

Then there's the smell, somehow the smell of leather of my Coccinelle bags seems more powerful than that of other leather bags.. I actually sometimes place my bag near me at my desk,  just so I can smell it whilst I work - yes I'm aware this might be considered freaky behaviour, who cares, as long as my nostrils are happy....

Coccinelle is located in Sliema Tower Road right next to Solaris . More Coccinelle - related posts here

Outfit Post : Standing on the edge of a cliff



It's no secret that I love summer, sea warm weather, boats and the long summer nights. What I don't like is the lack of beanies, knitted turbans residing on my head or the fact that it's too hot to layer and the other problem that my feet are not residing in nice leather boots. These I consider to be rather big problems and the fact that it is now no longer summer and these problems can be remedied is enough to make me forget the rain and approaching cold weather.

So much so that I can stand at the edge of the cliff, wave my hands around and attempt to balance around on one leg whilst the hubby photographer starts to get concerned. I actually felt a bit indignant there - I mean that's a serious doubt of my balancing skills and my boots' sturdiness features.

Outfit Post : Playing in the Waves in Riccione


caroline paris stylist

With all the London Fashion Week related posts Riccione seems like a million years away but right before going off to London I travelled to Riccione with Ferragiu to work backstage at the New Model Today competition, you can read more about that here. The morning of the event, the hubby and I decided to go for a walk on the beach, the weather was warm but a little breezy at certain times of day so I carried around a big scarf for when I felt chilly. I got tempted to dip my feet in the seas but ran away at the impending heart attack - cooooold.

Events Post : JIMMY CHOO in MALTA at SARTO

JimmyChoo_Malta
YES - it's TRUE, you've heard right - JIMMY CHOO is now available in Malta and yes of course you can just drop in and see..it's open to all ..just pop by SARTO (which is right next door to Hugo Boss opposite the infamous St Julians/Paceville 'park'). I've spent the last few days answering these questions, so I thought it's high time I wrote this post and gave you all the info. Of course it's not an official Jimmy Choo store but it's even better because whilst checking out the shoes you can also pop by the Dolce and Gabbana section and lust over those breathtakingly beautiful clothes.

I remember a time when there were practically no designer brands available to buy in Malta and most luxury online stores had never heard of Malta let alone delivered to us. This meant your only option was to buy whilst travelling which of course was easier for some people than others.  In the last few years the situation has changed - SARTO houses Dolce and Gabbana, Jimmy Choo , Giuseppe Zanotti, Burberry and others under its roof and for this we have Michelle and her hard working team to thank. Whatever you might think about designer prices, it is important for any industry to have available to its consumers both high end and low end products and these people have managed to be one of the key shops that are filling that upper bracket for our island. 

I also wish to pint out that NO the prices are not more expensive than abroad, which is something people seem to keep insisting on about all local shops and another very important thing is that SARTO also has two annual sales, In fact at the moment, you can find some Dolce and Gabbana items on sale, I've actually spent the last few days thinking about a pair of shoes they have at 50% off in my size, I've been trying really hard to convince myself I don't need them but I'm not sure it's working.

The launch party was lovely, lots of delicious sweets by Zest, flowing Martini to drink and lots of people to catch up with ..whilst of course lusting after the shoes. I also absolutely love the Marie Antoinette-inspired visual styling displays.

JimmyChoo_MaltaThis event came one day after my trip back from London and 48 hours of no sleep so I was a little tired but I couldn't miss the CHOOs and of course I had to wear a pair of Jimmy's for the occasion right? My top is also a sequinned one which kind of gets a bit lost in the photos.

 BTW You might have kind of noticed that I'm kind of into this one earring trend, as I think I've had in about 2/3 of my most recent outfit posts- at least I get to wear all those pairs of which I've lost one.

Outfit Post : It's all about FUR


Day 4 at London Fashion Week SS15 - You night recall my mega exciting news that come September I was to be brand ambassador for Max&Co Malta, well, we decided to kick it off at London Fashion Week with this AMAZING faux fur coat - it's a beautiful mix of blue and black colours and the texture is absolutely brilliant, soft and smooth..a part of me was worried someone might think it's real and throw a bucket of red paint at me....

My outfit post shooting got a lucky break here, I had Kris Micallef to shoot my photos *yipeee*..coincidentally we were both working for the same magazine Noctis Magazine so  we spent soeme time together covering the shows and snapping some street style. We also visited the ME Hotel right outside Somerset House which has THE most amazing press room ever - check out the view.




We both loved this designer's outfit!




And for some much more mediocre detail shots (shot by me)

Outfit Post : THE ADVENTURES OF THE BLUE SUNGLASSES - THE BEGINNING



This is the story of a pair of Blue Sunglasses. I have previously related the end of this story, yes I told the story backwards, if you haven't read it, you can have a choice, to read the end first as life intended or to read the beginning now and the end later. This part of the story is the tale of the TRIP. 

Since the colour blue is predominantly tied to boys, I have attributed the male gender to the blue sunglasses character in this story.

The blue sunglasses were used to a life of boredom, of lying still, of waiting and waiting. Chance one day whisked them away out of that life into a brand new world of adventure. Blue found himself travelling through space as he put it, hearing different languages, seeing exciting buildings, all was new to BLUE. Occasionally he thoughr about SHE and he felt a little sad but most of the time life was too exciting.

Outfit Post : Yellow & Black | Gold & Bronze

About a month ago I went to the Fossil Birthday celebrations. It had been a long day so I felt like wearing something comfortable - these trousers from River Island are really really awesome..I've actually bought three of them (different patterns and colours) and I wore my Antonio Grimaldi top again - remember my review of his AltaRoma show

I also wore a new piece of the new Coccinelle collection, this bag is absolutely gorgeous, such a wonderful colour, brown/bronze/gold..I'm not quite sure what to call this colour.

Outfit Post : Roaming Around Rome


You might remember around a month ago I went to Rome and ALTARoma..I posted photos of what I wore to the events but I took my time with the general roaming around Rome daily outfits ..sorry..I've been trying to work a little less in August as I was feeling a little burnt out and needed some general rest.

But here's a 2-in-1 special :D. When on holiday my main priority is always comfort and the ability to walk walk walk and did I mention walk ? This trip in particular involved an immense amount of walking so I took up my most comfortable pair of sandals - Ecco sandals (King Shoe Shop Malta, similar in style to Birkenstocks - more of the whole ugly sandal trend) but the special thing about these shoes is that they allow for custom orthotics insoles to fit in place of the original footbed.

This day was a Sunday and I spent it shopping around the Spanish Steps area, visiting the Andy Warhol exhibition and just simply enjoying Rome...it was a bit rainy unfortunately but oh well.

This next outfit was for the last day which we spent visiting the Colosseum (there's a new brilliant tour that you can book that takes you both underground and right to the very top), eating pizza, more walking, and a little bit more shopping :D I got the chance to wear my lovely new Coccinelle hat :D What do you think of it ?
