SPOTTED : Spring Beauties with a Denim Jacket

 By: Unknown    02:54  No comments

               

A Denim Jacket is probably one of the most important and versatile pieces of clothing found in a wardrobe. There are literally hundreds of different outfits that can be tailored around a denim jacket and lets not forget that denim in general remains one of the hottest trends around this season. For this SPOTTED post I've toured some of my favourite shops and picked out a capsule wardrobe made up of some of my favourite items that work well with a denim jacket. 

And the denim jacket chosen - this particular one is from Armani Jeans - it broke my heart when I saw it in the store because it has this darling, cute-as-pie black lace trim and It's just too sweet. 

Soooo the capsule story is that we've got 3 different outfits: a super cool, fitted striped dress, ripped jeans and a crop top, loose fitting printed pants paired with a sweater. Each of these outfits will look great with the denim jacket.

Then.... as accessories we've again gone capsule-style and we've got a one-4-all fit..we've got a very funky saddle bag with gold hardware, yellow stiletto pumps, a gold boyfriend-style watch, a petrol-blue fedora hat, bright red lipstick, some bracelets, and a nautical-themed wallet. And all these accessories will look great with any of the 3 different outfits.

Where to buy them from:

Tommy Hilfiger

Jane Norman 

Armani Jeans

NYX

ASOS 

Maison Scotch  Junction

ALDO

Zara

Kenzo 

ALDO

Coccinelle

Michael Kors

Shopping Post : The Most Beautiful Shop in Malta (IMO)

 By: Unknown    03:15  No comments

Regular readers must assume by now that I love shopping and tend to spend a good portion of my time in shops. There are many shops in Malta I enjoy visiting, for different reasons, some have amazing products, some have a great vibe and some have brilliant sales.

However, I know of only one shop that resembles something akin to a museum, that is so beautiful and historic, I spend as much time looking at the actual building and stonework features as I do the clothes and that is Tommy Hilfiger in Valletta. If you've never been inside this store then make it a point to step inside when you're next in Valletta - this is one place seriously worth visiting, irrespective of whether or not you like the clothes.

However, since after all this is a fashion blog and this is a shopping post you may have realised that this week's instalment of Caroline visits a shop and tells you what's in stock is Tommy Hilfiger in Valletta.

Although on my last visit to the store there were some bright colours in the women's section, I was not expecting what I saw yesterday. The Palm Springs Collection is seriously stylish, bright and cheerful and with all the Tommy trademarks - high quality, superb tailoring, and lovely fabric. I fell in love with a really lot of pieces - there are beautiful dresses that one can easily wear to a wedding, really stylish accessories, lovely shirts and lots more. 

Here are some photos to give you an idea but take my advice and visit for yourself ...trust me

For those residing in or visiting little Malta there are Tommy Hilfiger Stores in Valletta and Baystreet, St Julians. Since it's popular and all they have a facebook page right here.

Shopping Post : Dots, Denim and Wolves - A POINT at Hilfiger

 By: Unknown    00:30  No comments

In the latest instalment of 'Caroline hits a store and shows you their new stock'  we take a very pointed look at Hilfiger Denim at the Point. I haven't made up my mind as to whether I prefer the main line brand Tommy Hilfiger or the sub (trendier, more casual) division Hilfiger Denim...I love the Spring Collection of the main line (more on that to come) but whenever I enter Hilfiger Denim I'm really drawn to the 'cool vibe factor' the clothes and stores give off.

The store at The Point is no exception, fun decor, sultry lighting...it's the kind of store that invites you in.

The new season collection for woman has quite an exciting mix of different stuff - patterned t-shirts, graphic t-shirts , v cool denim options, polka dots (heart takes a little leap) and some lovely light knitwear with nice bright colours.

The new male collection (men actually get a larger section of the shop....hmmm some complaining here) is also very stylish, some brilliant printed t-shirts, amazing denim jackets (give me a guy in a denim jacket any day of the week) and interestingly enough - some really lovely watches (these were actually spotted by the hubby and he was right, they are really really nice).

I'm a woman and this is my blog soooo I am starting with the female....

These shorts are perfectly cute and lovely...please buy them for me someone...

This shirt will go nicely with the shorts...just saying

This is a wolf right ? I'm not crazy ?

Honestly can't remember if these are male or female but the cool turn up caught my eye !

And now we have the male section........

A man can never have too many polo shirts and remember..however good the quality they DON'T  last an eternity so do replace every so often....

Repeat after me ..men in denim jackets...men in denim jackets...

I'm addicted to denim.....*sigh*

Aren't they cool ?

Hope you enjoyed that, let me know which is your favourite photo ..oh and if you do like the watches ..leave a comment and let me know ..the hubby will be chuffed and happily smug :)

For those living in little lovely Malta there are Hilfiger Denim Stores at The Point and in Valletta (in Valletta same store as Tommy Hilfiger - basement level).

Since it's 2014 and all they have a facebook page right here.

Shopping Post : Men and Blazers

 By: Unknown    01:00  No comments

I love a man in a nice suit, after all, give me a perfectly tailored blue suit and a crisp white shirt ad it onto a dashing man aka James Bond (Sean Connery) and I'm good to go. A lot of men however, don't feel quite the same way about suits...a few too many of them detest wearing suits..With more and more companies abandoning the idea of formal dress codes for work and accepting casual wear, men have now grown accustomed to being comfortable and now view suits as though they are little, evil, green-headed monsters...created with the sole purpose of making men suffer.

Enter the BLAZER, the humble blazer owes its origins to the pedigree of the United Kingdom. To be precise to the Lady Margaret Boat Club (the rowing club of St. John's College, Cambridge), the men wore red blazers in the 1800s. The great thing about a blazer, whilst still ultimately being a fitted jacket is that it can be worn over a t-shirt, over jeans, over a crisp white shirt...basically does not call for the whole formal ensemble but it still can be worn that way if wanted.

One of the best places to buy a nice male blazer from is Tommy Hilfiger, they have lovely tweed and velvet options which along with plaid, are my current fave blazer types. 

Some picks rom Tommy Hilfiger Malta below : Although these pics show them styled with ties and shirts, this is not the only way to wear them, they'd look really great over a sweater/v-neck/t-shirt/open shirt!

And because little boys should look as good as their dads....

In Malta, Tommy Hilfiger Stores can be found in Baystreet Shopping Complex Paceville and in Valletta.Hilfiger Denim Stores can be found at The Point and in also Valletta (in Valletta same store as Tommy Hilfiger - basement level).

I also suggest wholeheartedly that you LIKE their facebook page right here.
