Outfit Post : Monochrome Touches

 By: Unknown    00:30  1 comment

Last weekend was an eventful one - Ferramoda, Launch of the Chamber of Fashion Malta  and Malta Fashion Association, speaking lots of Italian and some food - Monday evening I was invited to a lovely dinner at Pappanis - scrumptious Italian food and I decided to go for a monochrome outfit.

I got to wear a brand new knit dress from MAX&Co. - so new that I forgot to remove the tag and left ti hanging out - ten points Caroline.It's a really versatile piece and can easily be dressed u[ or down and made to look like a completely different piece under a jacket / coloured shawl /different jewellery.

This brilliant necklace is from Coccinelle - I love how it completely dresses up an outfit.

Shopping : Cardigans & Sweaters at MAX&Co

Finally Winter has arrived and it's getting warm and cosy time which means cardigans and sweaters. At MAX&Co there are some truly beautiful, luxurious ones on offer. Fabrics such as wool, nylon, cashmere, mohair, cable work, interesting patterns and vibrant colours are all present in these little beauties.

Above: I love the stitch work and camouflage patterns in these sweaters above. Below : The mix of tartan and overlaid sheer layer with flowers is such a brilliant concept

What to Wear : Winter = Red&Black + FEDORA

 By: Unknown    09:29  No comments

Red & Black is THE ultimate fiery colour combo yet it only gets one season. What with Red being the colour of Christmas and black being the dark non-colour that it is...I simply don't see that many opportunities for red & black in the summer months.

Which brings me to this ribbed, knit, asymmetrical red&black dress.... - okkkk maybe the black is slightly grey ..but who's fishing?- from Max&Co., I'm pretty certain the red&black brings out my eyes or at the very least my FEDORA but leaving that aside I've created two outfits around this dress. Yes magical number 2. 

The one I'm wearing is number 1 ofc but there's another collaged outfit idea further down the road, I think the dress should be paired with a fedora but if it's not your cup of tea  you will be absolved. 

I wore the dress with a pair of 'ooh la la sexy booties' that are actually one of my ALDO #perfectpair picks that you can buy at 30% off. In the collage, I've switched to a pair of taupe booties also from MAX&Co. - I liked the idea of a third colour and the booties as a style work equally well if not better. 

I didn't use a bag myself - why do you need a bag in a studio? But in the collage I've put a black bag although I also loveee satchel-style bags this season,  I'm loving this one in particular . I've also added a jacket that's also from MAX&Co in the collaged outfit since I guess summer has kinda gone away now...

And for the collage...


































Your turn - What do you pair RED with ?

Trends Post : A Cardigan & a Dress at MAX&Co

 By: Unknown    01:30  No comments

Whilst many are embracing the fact that the weather's changed and the hot summer days seem to be behind us ..I'm lamenting the fact that I've started to feel rather chilly. This means light jackets, shawls and of course little cardis and sweaters. 
One of the looks I like most is the idea of wearing a dress and a cardigan like in this picture below.

I've said this before - whilst I appreciate androgynous fashion & I love edgy styling...sometimes, I wonder what happened to the princesses we dreamed about as little girls, where have they disappeared to in all that is fashion? One of the things I like about MAX&Co. as a brand, is that they have different trends and these trends tend to cater for a variety of styles - guess what one of them is called - Girl's Dream and yep it's filled with dresses, sparkly belts and sparkly shoes and lots of pretty, pretty items. There's a protagonist in the dream ofc and it's called Corolla (the dress in the pic below)

On a side note, one of the focuses of this theme is to be able to transition easily from day to night and a cardi or little jacket worn over a dress is a great way to do that. I also like to change handbag - sometimes what I do is carry around a large handbag during the day with a little mini one inside the large one, after my work-day is over - I simply switch. I also like to update  my lipstick, maybe go for a bolder colour at night.

What do you think, do you like the idea of cardigans and dresses ?

Trends Post : SNEAKERS IN GOLD

 By: Unknown    22:52  No comments

Remember those days when the idea of what we call 'yellow gold' fell out of favour?  When not only was this precious metal discarded from the realm of fashion but even as a colour, it was almost frowned upon. It's been a while now since fashion reasoning turned full circle and re-embraced this old friend but occasionally I still get comments like "but isn't gold too loud and out of fashion now?". I love gold, maybe because let's face it I tend to like eclectic, fun, fashion and gold has all of that or maybe because it reminds me of the reverence with which I held jewellery as a child.. who knows..either way, I do have a particular fondness for it.


This brings me to the point of my post and it's all about these gold sneakers I just set my eyes on at MAX&Co. this morning. I've known they were on their way to the island for a while, as their brand ambassador I got a sneak peek look at the catalogs but photos don't actually do these beauties justice. As you must know, I've been stating for a while now that SNEAKERS are THE SHOE of the season but these shoes - these are not just normal sneakers, these are leather, luxe, comfortable, shiny beauties.

Outfit Post : It's all about FUR

 By: Unknown    13:17  No comments

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)

Shopping Post : Let's Look Inside MAX&Co

 By: Unknown    01:12  No comments

A few weeks ago, I released the super-exciting-lets-dance-a-jig news that come next September I will be a brand ambassador for Max&Co Malta which means lots of lovely outfits and some other Max&Co-related posts. 

From feedback I received, it seems there are still some of you out there who aren't that familiar with the brand. For starters just a little bit of info re the brand -  Max&Co is an Italian fashion brand and a member company of the Max Mara Fashion Group and of course there are stores across Europe. What I really love about the clothes is that they are a fusion of contemporary designs (some of them could even be called eclectic) and Italian quality and tailoring, in other words they are right up my alley. 

I visited the shop last week for this week's edition of Caroline hits a shop and shows you what's in stock and snapped a few pics of my favourite items, I'm particularly in love with the yellow section...yellow remains one of my favourite colours for summer...and this season it seems like it's even more fashionable than the previous years.

LOVEEE those shoes

Obsessed with this pantsuit

Patterned Denim is always fabulous

Obligatory mirror selfie - with these awesome wide legged cropped trousers - amazing if you'e tall

BTW MAX&Co is located in Sliema right next to the Car Park, ICentre and Next

EVENTS POST : SOME SPOTTED OUTFITS AND A GYPSY FAIR - TIMES OF MALTA PINK FASHION SHOW

 By: Unknown    23:02  No comments

In case you missed ALL of my related posts (shame on you if you did, what kind of follower are you?), yesterday, a fashion show happened - The Times of Malta Pink fashion show to be exact - and it was absolutely lovely, sweet (in more ways than one), cute & pretty and completely scrumptious. Guests were asked to turn up at 17:00 but the actual show started at 19:00, so what happened in between ? A little gypsy fair party of course!!! 

I know I sound like an idiot gushing over cute things, but it really was too cute, with a car crammed full of sweets, adorable colourful furniture, cushions on the lawn, a band playing away, delicious nibbles and for the adults - cocktails.

During the fashion show, I worked backstage - assisting Marisa Grima (who styled the show) and of course blogging away - but during this pre-party fair I decided to employ a spot of style scouting and see who and what outfits caught my eye.

Bloggers Ellie Cutajar (those shades and the Marco Parascandolo top - awesome) and Stephanie Xerri Agius 

Makeup Artist Natasha Polidano (love the necklace)

Designer Ron and Anna Galea (Wearing a FABULOUS C&R bag from the just-released collection)

Bloggers Tiziana (love love love the nike crop top) and Pavli 

Giselle Camilleri wearing Max&Co of course (fabulous dress)

OUTFIT POST : MERCEDEZ-BENZ FASHION WEEK MALTA - DAY 5 - A TULIP DRESS & AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

 By: Unknown    05:19  No comments

So people, my outfit last night was a very important one as it signified a taster of great things to come - I have very very exciting news to share - come next September and the Autumn/Winter season I will be a brand ambassador for Max&Co Malta. This is of course is not affiliated with my work as a brand ambassador for Coccinelle Malta - Coccinelle is a bag and accessories shop and Max&Co is all about beautiful, luxurious clothes, in particular DRESSES. So basically YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Last night was the bridal fashion week event and it seemed the perfect occasion to wear such a pretty dress. It's no secret that I love dresses, especially pretty ones..even more so if they have a touch of pink but I have also been known to say that sometimes I like to see people make more of an effort than simply wearing a petty dress but then sometimes i's a dress that has something unique about it..the most you can really do is add interesting accessories as anything else will simply spoil it. This dress hit all the right notes, I particularly love the tulip shape as I find the shape to be so flattering and the BOW...that bow is extra, extra special. To complete the look, a pair of delicate, two-toned, orange & gold sandals and a beautiful pink-toned, patterned, crocodile-effect bag and matching bangle from Coccinelle were added.

Check out the photos below:
