Outfit Post : Twisted Bride and Different Shoes

 By: Unknown    07:03  No comments

Yesterday's outfit was my version of a  twist on a bridal outfit - all the elements are there - something shiny, sequins, white and cream and something covering my hair :D. I couldn't decide between wearing my new heeled Birkenstocks or this New Silver Rubber Heels I found in Primark last September and never got round to wearing. I decided to simply wear both, and switch to and fro between them. I also grunged my hair using that sea salt spray I h

The great thing about this outfit is that it's insanely comfortable and since yesterday was a very long day including two Malta Fashion Week shows and Mother's Day Lunch, some sort of comfort was a must.

Milan Fashion Week : Francesco Scognamilio

 By: Unknown    22:03  No comments

This is my first trip to Milan Fashion Week, arriving straight from London fashion week on an early morning flight after 5 days of very little sleep, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Milan Fashion Week is different to London Fashion Week - there's no doubt about that. In London there's a sense of childish fun, from the way the people dress, to the attitude of the staff at Somerset House, there's a lot of happiness that fashion week is here and everyone is determined to make the most of it. Here the attitude is much more grim, much more business minded much more focused. Unlike London the average person interested in fashion does not participate, to be here you must be a buyer or press.

With that in mind, there is an overwhelming amount of things to discover, shows/presentations, this fashion week is packed so good time management is essential. Back to the matter at hand and on the first day I attended a really beautiful show Francesco Scognamiglio - I know I use the word beautiful too often but this really is the best way to describe this show & collection. The place (Palazzo Reale) is magnificent, models that walk like fairies and clothes that make you want to undress the models and crawl into them in their place. 

My favourite pieces are the lilac, long silk dresses with leather three-dimensional roses embellished and layered on top. The feeling of this collection is purely feminine, very sleek and elegant - they evoke a passionate sentiment.

Events Post : JIMMY CHOO in MALTA at SARTO

 By: Unknown    02:16  No comments

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.

This 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.
