Pick Your Favoutite at DIESEL



Last night in Sliema, Patron magazine threw a party in collaboration with Diesel. Diesel had the new Spring/Summer collection out on display and it's quite awesome, There's the usual Diesel denim, grunge-style clothes, especially within the male collection but there's also an element of 'freshness' about the collection. This is especially true for the female section. Gone are the entirely black rails but instead are some really interesting paint splattered pieces, some delicate, light florals, and some beautiful denim pieces. Everything still with that Diesel 'edgy' touch but they've incorporated a bit more femininity into it which I personally am always a fan of.

For this post, I asked some key persons to pick their favourite thing in the shop -

The hubby Kurt Paris picked that t-shirt above - there are a whole lot of slogan t-shirts to choose from by the way.

Daniel from Devil Wears Praduh picked his own Diesel Jacket below



Fashion Designer and Store Manager Marco Parascandalo picked my favourite piece from the women's collection - this multi-textured denim jacket.



Lastly, Silvan, anyone who has ever shopped from Diesel must know him as the person who's been handling a lot of  the behind-the-scenes work at Diesel for yonks. He picked this t-shirt from the women's collection.



We're not done - the slideshow with all my spotted items is below - see what I picked !!




Before you leave - what's your favourite ?

MFWA : CHURPINA - New Designer - Mercedes Benz Malta Fashion Week 2014



On Saturday the 24th May, the New Designers Fashion Show will take place as part of Malta Fashion Week 2014. This is the show in which emerging local designers have the chance to show the country their designs and basically get noticed, it is also a form of competition as one designer will win the best new designer award at the Malta Fashion Awards one week later. In anticipation of this event, (one of my favourite in the whole week) , I will be shining the spotlight on each of these 'new designers'.

Today we shine the spotlight on CHURPINA 
Pina started in the fashion world by first making designs for herself and then for friends but when a photographer used some of her designs for a shoot in a magazine her brand took off. She is self-taught and is constantly reading books about the subject and looking information online. She is also a Podiatrist by profession. She always loved fashion design and remembers trying to make her first handbag at around age 11. It was a square 90s across body thingy with sequins attached.

he name of this collection is Relaxation Time, this is not her first time showcasing in MFW. She participated in 2011 but could not take part in the following years because she was reading a Masters degree. Here is her sneak peek:

MFWA : TAIA - New Designer - Mercedes Benz Malta Fashion Week 2014

On Saturday the 24th May, the New Designers Fashion Show will take place as part of Malta Fashion Week 2014. This is the show in which emerging local designers have the chance to show the country their designs and basically get noticed, it is also a form of competition as one designer will win the best new designer award at the Malta Fashion Awards one week later. In anticipation of this event, (one of my favourite in the whole week) , I will be shining the spotlight on each of these 'new designers'.

Today we shine the spotlight on TAIA - a brand made up of two female designers creating womenswear.


When I met Mandy and Alicia, I was impressed by how different these two girls are, both in terms of looks and character. Two female designers from vastly different backgrounds, one Maltese, one Russia - Mandy and Alicia met 8 years ago on a photo shoot (they were the models), they became firm friends and always talked about one day designing a collection together. This year those talks become reality as they present to us this brand and collection at Malta Fashion Week. 

They told me how they have been planning this collection for a whole year, the theme is made up of all these elements - flowers, malta, russia, nature. They created a print merged of 5 different flowers -  Alicia favours peonies whilst Mandy goes for roses as their favourite flower and they then had the fabrics printed abroad. 

Besides nature they are very also inspired by fashion and couture - Mandy cites Roberto Cavalli as her designer inspiration whilst Alicia is inspired by Valentino. They describe their autumn/winter collection as a marriage of differences, a combination of elegance and ready-to-wear and here is their sneak peek photo:



For them this is just the beginning and they plan on taking their collection to Russia and having their own showroom

Shopping Post : Pretty Dresses for Summer


For this week's edition of Caroline hits a shop and shows you what's in stock we've got Jennyfer and their brand spanking new pretty summer dresses. Not sure about but when the intense summer heat hits, all I want to wear is a dress ..a lightweight summer dress..forget about jeans..forget about trousers and cool fashion..at some point it's just too hot. The problem is the best dresses are usually sold out by June...before the heat hits and I never find any to buy when I desperately need them..so maybe this year, I need to plan ahead....

Events Post : Summer Launch at M&Co


Yesterday I was invited to a 'shopping special event' at new kid on the block M&Co in Valletta. Although this shop opened last summer, it's still a very 'new' shop and most people are actually unfamiliar with it....for those who have never been to make it's location more familiar - it replaced the old BHS in Valletta, infront of Camilleri Sweet Shop.

The event included some delicious canapes catered by Camilleri incl delicious chocolate deserts. 

Who Does it Cater For?

It's also got kids clothes for sale first of all but then I'd say it caters for a woman in her late twenties and above, the clothes are classy with a sophisticated touch, nice fabrics, nice tailoring and some beautiful classic pieces.

The collection has some exciting prints - jacquard, floral, animal prints and there are also some nice accessories and a wide range of different jeans styles.

Check out some of my SPOTTED items below:

Something for Everyone - sizes 8-24 and a Petites range too

Happy Shopping!
M&Co Inernational also have a great website here

Shopping Post : A Pattern or Two?




I've spoken about my love for patterns on multiple occasions and thanks to the fashion universe powers they're still very much in vogue for 2014....Oasis, which is one of those few shops that really knows how to capture high street trends in a chic manner, making them also suitable for those women who are no longer teens, has a lovely selection of patterned clothing in their new stock.

POLKAAAAAA - I will never ever tire of polka dots.
Hearts are my second fave after polka dots.

Floral patterns have come such a long, modern way since the days of granny floral dresses!




Really love the way this mannequin is dressed in the store..love the colours, the polka dot worn with stripes....and love the chunky floral necklace- super duper!

Remember that Oasis Stores are at Tower Road Sliema & Zachary Street Valletta and do check out and LIKE their Facebook
