Outfit Post : Milan Fashion Week Day 3



The third day in Milan and I decided to wear something I had just bought the day before !! I also had my makeup done at the lovely MAC studio at Camera du Moda and my hair done on site at Schwarzkopf. 

This was one of my favourite days at Milan Fashion Week, it was also one of the outfits I enjoyed wearing most - a mixture of vintage & brand, brand new. I started the day at Bvlgari, went to the Paula Cademartori preview, the Aigner Show, the Nicholas K show & the Costume National after-party (more on these last four to come) & last but not least - for an awesome Italian pizza.

Outfit Post : 70's Vibe - LFW Day 1



This is my second time at London Fashion Week and it's a whole lot colder - freezing well and truly. This makes choosing what to wear, especially with limited luggage allowance much harder but well - what a girl gotta do, a girl gotta to do. I decided to give a nod to the '70s vibe that's really trending for Spring with my first outfit. I wore a head band and an actual vintage '70s frock coat (the blue one).

I was reasonably warm until the evening and then - I literally froze - today I must have more reinforcement.
Waiting to be let in for the first show of the day

Interview : Sarah Zerafa - Venere


Sarah Zerafa is a girl who has always intrigued me - she's very sweet, has a great sense of style which she loves to mix up and change around and takes really great pictures. Whilst she may not have the height generally sought after for modelling, there's something about her that grabs your attention, simply put, her photos catch your eye. When she auditioned for Venere and got accepted I was very pleased and I have been following her success with a lot of interest.

With this in mind I've decided that she should be the second of the Venere girls you'all should meet - so ladies and gents I give you Sarah Zerafa.


Describe your CHARACTER in 5 words

Outgoing, fun, caring, kind hearted and friendly.


Describe your STYLE in 5 words

My style various from day to day. I always wake up wanting to dress in a particular style, but my style in 5 words would be: vintage, chic, classic, and mum-90’s-wardrobe.





How did you get into modelling?

The interest began when I was still a 10 year old, always eager to watch ‘America’s Next Top Model’s latest episode. I also remember wearing my mum’s high heels, running around the house, pretending I’m taking part in a famous fashion show. Then, at around 13 years of age I shot my first commercial and bill board and that gave my career a head start. - I later modeled for some local adverts and photographers started taking more notice of me on Facebook. Some time later, I took part in an international commercial, was part of Fashion Week 2014 and the biggest achievement of all… became a Venere girl!!


What makes you angry?

When my internet connection isn't strong enough to Skype with my boyfriend who lives in Slovakia :)


What do you hate most about modelling and what do you like most?


"What I hate most is: waking up with a big zit in the middle of my forehead on the day of an important photo shoot" 

I hate waking up with a fever and having to wear a summer dress in the middle of December. Last but not least, having to pose in a pair of shoes that are 3 sizes too small and somehow still make them look good!
What I love most in modeling is being able to wear all types of different clothing including the latest fashion trends and high end pieces which I only dream of buying. I also love having my makeup done by professional makeup artists and different hair styles for every look.


FAVOURITE venere shoot?



Photo : Clint Scerri Harkins

This is my favorite Venere photo because although it wasn't an easy photo shoot, I feel that I still managed to produce a good result.



LEAST favourite venere shoot?

Photo : Steven Muliett





This is my least favorite photo - I wasn't that comfortable at the location we where in and I found it very difficult to pose on a motorbike.


What's your biggest fashion sin?

"My biggest fashion sin has to be wearing the transparent bra straps with a strapless top - come on, every one can see they are still there!!"


What do you eat for breakfast?

I am not a big breakfast fan! I usually prefer to sleep an extra 30 minutes and have a big brunch later on in the day


Any future modelling plans?

After Venere, I already have a couple of photo shoots booked and hopefully I will be involved in some more commercials.

Trends Post : Autumn Layers

autumn layering






Someone recently pointed out that it's been a while since I've collaged a few outfits together and they're right - no specific reason - just something I stopped doing.  I've been feeling more inclined lately and when ModCloth approached me and asked me to showcase their autumn layers I decided to hop back on the bandwagon.


The outfit in hand uses a blanket-style cardigan as its centerpiece. You can't have missed seeing a photo or 600 of Olivia Palermo / Cara Delevigne / Famous Woman X wearing the Burberry blanket with their initials monogrammed. If you're rich and famous you can get one of those for $1,395 - if you're a humble being you might have to look elsewhere.


This particular folk-inspired blanket-style cardigan has a brilliant pattern and colour combo. I've decided to team it with with a mustard cowl neck top and a denim shirt that I plan on wearing unbuttoned, the cowl neck top is actually a thin cardigan but I like it worn as a base layer. Since in my fuddled thoughts Autumn needs a hat and gloves, I couldn't resist adding a touch of vintage to clash with my folk.


Wear this outfit  with jeans and booties for a day out in a park / garden / walk around / a day out shopping or even to work if the dress code is casual.



If you're not familiar with ModCloth you might be worth checking them out,  they have an amazing selection of cardigans at the moment. it caters for all sizes and has lots of vintage inspired & quirky pieces - plus you can even shop by decade.They curate their clothes from different retailers as well as having their own private label. I actually found out about this site last year through Pretty Little Liars, since I obsessively hunt through blogs to see where their clothes are from - quite a few pieces were from ModCloth.


Any other layering ideas for Autumn ?

Outfit Post : Vintage Inspired - London Fashion Week

lfw-ss15
For my first day at London Fashion Week I decided to celebrate the return of flares into fashion and also have a vintage day. It was also quite a comfortable outfit to spend a day walking around and walking to and from shows too....interestingly enough...the shows are not CLOSE to each other as I was led to believe and there's A LOT of walking involved :)



 

 I also got to take my brand new vintage baby bag bought recently from Riccione out to play :)


In the pic above that's me and Nyra, the photographer from Noctis Magazine - which brings me to a bit of exciting news that besides getting accredited and invited for my own blog, I have also been accepted and accredited to write for Noctis Magazine - there's actually already my first writeup up here.

OUTFIT POST : MALTA FASHION AWARDS - A DRESS & THE PIECE-OF-ART SHOES


Last Saturday the Malta Fashion Awards happened and of course in terms of getting dressed up and our wardrobes, for a lot of us, the day marks one of the biggest nights of the year. In my case, the night was very complicated - I was working backstage (the sufferance of a fashion stylist) and for such a big and long event that means coordinating what was going on and making sure the models get ready etc which ultimately means waaaay too much running and walking around. I was also nominated for two awards which meant I needed to walk the red carpet at the start of the show and also be on standby when the winners of those categories were announced. It honestly felt like I needed to be in two places, in different clothes at the same time. 

On my last trip to the UK I had encountered a British design house JOLABY and bought a beautiful dress from them. I also recently bought a really interesting pair of shoes (you may recall a facebook status about them and them being called a piece-of-art) and the two came together for the night along with a pair of vintage earrings.

I must admit - the shoes came off my feet to be replaced by trusty Birkenstocks, at some points throughout the evening but the dress was super comfortable. My hair and makeup was done on site by the awards team - hair by Mario Muscat, make up by Terry under Elaine Galea's supervision.

I didn't get to see much of the show but it felt like we pulled off an amazing night and everyone seemed impressed - a note of celebration is that the hubby, Kurt Paris, the one who takes 3/4 of the photos on this blog took home Best Fashion Photographer of the year...wohoooooo.

MFWA : Lukka - 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 LUKKA - a brand creating vintage-inspired womenswear.


Lukka Pizzuto's first foray into the word of fashion was actually as hair stylist - he studied hair styling at MCAST for 3 years. When he completed this course he immediately began studying fashion design, also at MCAST from which he was finished just last year.

This is his first time showcasing a collection at Malta Fashion Week, he describes his collection as a vintage-inspired (1940/1950 eras) floral clothing collection drawing on Van Gogh for inspiration, various drawings of floral yards and flowers which he then pictures on people.

His dream is to work full time as a fashion designer and move to east London. Here is a sneak peek of his collection.

My Styling Work : Venere Avant-Garde Bridal

This week's edition of lifestyle and fashion, Maltese TV programme Venere featured my styling work!  I collaborated with Marquita Kemper, the fantastic and brilliant owner of bridal store Wedding Bells in Valletta, Malta. The photographer, an Italian photographer based in Malta, Federico Peltretti came up with the brilliant idea of creating a shot inspired by French Haute Couture and John Galliano, specifically John Galliano and the beautiful, extravagant collections he has produced over the years. 


Photography: Federico Peltretti,
Hair: Chris Galea, Guy Galea
Makeup: Elaine Galea Venere using Inglot,

Styling: Caroline Paris
Bridal Stylist & Clothes : Marquita Kemper Wedding Bells
Co-ordination: Adrian J Mizzi,
Shoot for Venere produced by Motion blur and Unique Promotions

The models were Rebecca Montaldo below :


Jennifer Belli (below), who got a tad emotional throughout this shoot as she is actually getting married this year


and Katryona Calleja


Chris and Guy from Michael and Guy created two fabulous wigs for Katryona and Jennifer that perfectly matched the theme and Elaine applied some beautiful avant garde make up looks. Rebecca's hair was crimped and twisted so as to create volume and then it was fashioned into a really cool messy/big  style. 

All the clothes and accessories are by Faragé, the French bridal house, (available From Wedding Bells) and the shoes are from Aldo








A big well done to the whole team, I'm very happy with the result:)

Outfit Post : Vintage in a Monastery & Library


 I know I've probably bored you with Vienna related outfit posts - this is the last I promise and then I'll start posting the Paris ones :) This was a very interesting day which started with a visit to an very old monastery, included a trip on a lake in an underground mine and ended with a trip to the Library, one of the nicest libraries I've ever seen.

People who know me well know I am a reader, an obsessive reader, I devour books and let them consume me; reading a good book is probably the thing I enjoy doing most, one of the few things that really absorbs and relaxes me. When I read that the Austrian National Library is partly open to the public an is a beautiful building, I was determined to visit it but finding this building was actually more difficult that I thought it'd be since there are actually different buildings and entrances and only one is open to tourists. However, we found it finally and whilst there, I decided to snap some studious looking outfit pics.

Photos by Kurt Paris

These first two pics were taken at the monastery..



And the Library ...That day's outfit was a bit of a crazy one .... probably the fact that the sun was shining and it wasn't as freezing meant I got a bit inspired to have some fashion mix up fun. 

However..I did really like the combination of the darker maroon colours teamed with leopard and bright green.... my bonnet actually belonged to my mother when she was about 16 and it's so warm and cute!



I've been using this Coccinelle bag non stop ever since I got it ..the size is perfect and it's lightweight and a cross body style so your hands and arms are still free
Hat and Top : Vintage
Shoes : Aldo
Skirt : Zara
