Outfit Post : It's a Monochrome Affair

 By: Unknown    02:30  No comments

Something new, something comfortable ..such was the order of the day when choosing an outfit to wear to yesterday's event and work backstage. I didn't actually spend a whole day in this outfit though, this was just for nighttime work..I wore something else before that will get its own limelight in weeks to come. This Spring / Summer I'm really in the mood for white, white white, lots of monochrome and plenty of graphical patterns.

I decided to have my hair braided for the first few days of fashion week - this was actually their second day, their first night was the launch party last night.

Outfit Post : Christmas Day

 By: Unknown    10:01  No comments

As I've discussed in the What To Wear on Christmas Day post, the Christmas Day outfit is never an easy one - what with lots of running around from family to family, to grandparents, to friends and just general movement from place to place plus some places might require more of a 'dressed up' look, others a more casual..it's a hard one to figure out. I had a number of different people to visit so something somewhat comfortable was a must, I decided to go for a monochrome look, somewhat classical yet still fun (at least fun for me) and comfortable..notice no heels in sight.

Outfit Post : A Night Out at GAGLIARDI

 By: Unknown    03:30  No comments

Last Friday night GAGLIARDI celebrated the opening of their first uni brand store. The store is at Pjazza Tigne in Sliema and it's really quite a beautiful store. The tailoring and clothes design has always been beautiful but now they're also housed in a beautiful shop which makes you want to spend money.

For the occasion I decided to go for monochrome and red. I also gave these little babies a little outing and they behaved quite well, only hurting a little bit after quite a few hours of standing.

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.

Events Post : LFW : Jean Piere Braganza SS15

 By: Unknown    01:41  No comments

Probably the most packed show I attended in London was Jean Pierre Braganza - the amount of people who walked in was astonishing, I think every single person who received an invite came. From the pictures I guess it isn't hard to understand why (btw these are the official images their PR sent over, with all those people there and a 101 photographers clicking their flash simultaneously there was no way I was going to get a decent shot.) - his clothes are both astonishingly creative and astonishingly beautiful and elegant. 

The collection is titled Architectonic and he describes it as “a contemplation of Deroit’s unique decay” - black was the predominant colour but with lots of white, taupe and grey. He presents this collection as a time and place where machines and nature can coexist peacefully. There are lots of machinery references with motorcycles printed on the silk fabrics and hints of chrome and gunmetal on the black satin fabric. The pieces are fierce and sharp, simultaneously giving off a sensual and androgynous feeling. The pieces feature very sharp contrasting tailoring, there are angular designs but at the same time the pieces curve in at the waist and show off hints off flesh making them seem daring, even a casually styled jumpsuit gives off a  sensual vibe. 

I also loved the hair look by Toni & Guy that was slightly tousled but still sleek - I read on Glamour that apparently Jean-Pierre Braganza wanted the models' hair to look like they'd had sex on a Harley Davidson bike. The makeup by MAC also complimented the look perfectly.

Outfit Post : Monochrome at London Fashion Week

 By: Unknown    17:04  No comments

For day 2 at London Fashion Week I decided to go for monochrome - black and white and a mixture of textures - wool, cotton, leather all bonded together.


I paired a woollen skirt that I love due to its interesting cut and a new t-shirt from Costume National with some standout accessories. BTW in these photos you can see my hair colour update - purple black and a mix of red - thanks to Sarah at Toni & Guy Hilton who updated it for me before I left on this trip. Oh and I love this idea of wearing a big bag AND a mini bag too - u can put all the stuff that you keep reusing in the mini bag and you find them at once - genius.

Outfit Post : At The Sarto Garden Party - Wearing a BOW with a HAT

 By: Unknown    00:17  No comments

Deciding what to wear to the SARTO daytime fashion show garden party event last week took some deliberation. My problem was twofold - I had received a brand-spanking-new monochrome HAT from Coccinelle that I desperately wanted to wear but the dress code was colourful and chic. Whilst this hat is most definitely chic, colourful it ain't. You might be thinking that I could have simply opted for lots of colour in my clothes but monochrome does not always work terribly well with lots of colour and patterns which is what I kept coming up with as options I was happy with wearing. A normal person would have simply forfeited the hat..but normality is something I've never staked a claim to.

The next problem was that I then wanted to wear a sweater...but not everyone would constitute a sweater as chic and thank god I had decided against this as when I woke up that morning it was oh so terribly hot.....

So after this back and forth deliberation over the span of a few weeks, I started building an outfit head down, I found this DKNY linen dark blue/black dress with a HUGE bow that ties at the back that I decided looked great with the hat...and for colour.....I realised I already owned the perfect accessories - a new huge red and gold necklace (also from Coccinelle) and my 30th birthday present from Paris (last January) that I had actually never taken out to play - a gorgeous MATELASSÉ MIU MIU BAG.
