Outfit Post : Swaddled in Fun - Day 2 at LFW

 By: Unknown    12:05  No comments

Day 2 at London Fashion Week and today was the day that I decided I need to be somewhat warmer and my feet needed to get a little less tired - many shows and much running around from one place to the other. Started the day with breakfast with Lulu Guinness (more on that to come) and ended it with a beautiful night view of the River Thames followed by a trip to M&M store and a delicious meal in Chinatown.

BTW - Take a look at my jeans.. recognise them ? They're the ones I kept from my River Island Guide - Vintage MOM

Outfit Post : At Alta Roma Day 1

 By: Unknown    02:26  No comments

This weekend was mostly spent indoors - the hubby has a nasty case of food poisoning and all my countless weekend plans went straight into the 'rubbish bin'. However, last weekend was a brilliant one - I spent it in Rome for AltaRoma, watching beautiful haute-couture, AltaModa fashion, eating too much food, shopping (any doubt ?) and meeting with the other members of the Chamber of Fashion Malta to discuss upcoming projects.

Here's what I wore on Day 1 - first of all it was freezing - freezing and fashion don't go well together, and then to make matters worse, inside the show locations was of course, heated and hot and stuffy. It's also impossible not to need to walk, even if you use taxis, you need to walk to the taxi stand and Rome is full of cobbles, some broken....I think if I lived in Rome I'd retire all my heels...

Below and Above - at the show in the Alta Roma official show tent.



Back onto the streets.................I'm in love with this Enrico Coveri coat - a very recent birthday present from the parents - in Rome I realised it's also very, very warm since it's made of 100% wool.





Thank the heavens for sneakers / trainers and their current return into the fashion world.

Because it was so cold I ended up wearing two pairs of thermal tights and socks on top of each other - my walk felt a tad bit restricted..

Outfit Post : Once Upon a Weeknight

 By: Unknown    08:30  No comments

More AltaRoma posts including what I wore  to come shortly but in the meantime here's an outfit post shot on a weeknight - a day-to-night outfit. 

I wore this outfit both to work, out shopping after work, and out to dinner later that evening. 

If you recall, I had written this post that talked about what I recently bought, I mentioned this jacquard skater skirt and these Nero Giardini knee high boots - so here they are in the flesh.

I love skater skirts for when I plan to spend a whole day out, ok I love a-line and skater skirts every day, every time but for day-to-night outfits, I feel they can really transition, especially if you change shoes. Although the great thing about knee high boots with a chunky heel is that they work for both morning and evening, if they're comfy like these ones - no changing required!

I don't think I really need to get into the virtues of a good basic poloneck /turtleneck - honestly I've lost count as to how many I own now - quite a few in black and practically in every other colour. ...I wear each of them to death - honestly, I think a black poloneck /turtleneck is to fashion what bread and butter is to food.  If you actually don't own one here's a good option for a black basic poloneck and another one for a burgundy one.

Events Post : My Birthday :)

 By: Unknown    05:47  No comments

Sooo last week I turned 31 and because I'm still a kid at heart I had about 4 different celebrations across the week. More posts to come about what I wore when but the first is the PARTY at Electro Lobster - which was sooo much fun.

I decided to wear a fun outfit revolving around the faux fur MONSTER HAT the hubby had just gifted me which I had been raving on about after I found it a luisaviaroma.

I'm in love with this scuba skater skirt too it's soo much fun - I bought it from London last September but I spotted a similar white one on sale at Miss Selfridge in Malta and I also found this tiered scuba skirt at asos , a less exaggerated black skirt at missguided and this brilliant scuba skater dress at asos

Let's talk about those little shoe beauties above on my feet from Tosca Blu (Stivaletti) that got used for the first time that night and actually didn't hurt at all

Top : Suiteblanco (last year) / Skirt : H&M / Hat : LuisaViaRoma / Necklace : Chanel / Shoes : Tosca Blu at Stivaletti / Watch : Rotary Vintage

Outfit Post : A few weeks back....

 By: Unknown    23:00  No comments

Before straight hair, before Christmas, I went shopping to my favourite place in Malta - Valletta. I decided to wear an outfit based around different shades of cream and white with some blue and a whole lot of colour in one shawl. I also wore one of my favourite pairs of shoes this Winter, extremely comfy shoes Dockers (from Stivaletti) made from blue suede leather that I'm obsessed with when worn with skinny jeans of the same shade.. I just love the way the laces tie around the shoe.

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 : Different Shades of BLACK

 By: Unknown    04:13  No comments

Once you've gotten over the fact that my hair is straight, here's what I wore to the F&F launch party this week. It's funny how familiarity works, I've had my hair this straight quite a few times over the last year but it seems that after a summer of curls, everyone forgothttp://www.carolinefashionstyling.com/2014/12/outfit-post-different-shades-of-black.html. Basically, last Winter I got the Keratin Brazilian treatment applied and decided to go for it again this year - I find 'straighter' hair much easier to manage in the Winter months. To all those curl lovers (my hubby being one of them, ...they'll be back..and change is fun :) ).

Wearing all-black is not that 'normal' for me, in general, I'm quite a colourful person and tend to gravitate towards patterns, colours and all things bright. I enjoyed wearing this look though and I think I might just try total black again sometime soon. 

Now these boots (Nero Giardini at Stivaletti) are a recent acquisition and I'm completely head-over-heels in love with them..the comfort is unparalleled, the quality of the leather is superb and I think the design is stunning - only problem - I decided to wear them on the one day in the year when it wouldn't stop raining...so my poor boots got wet on their first outing, I'm sure they cried big, plonky tears when I wasn't looking.

Outfit Post : A Dress with a BOW

 By: Unknown    05:23  No comments

Last Saturday I attended the launch of Karen Millen in Malta. Here's my OOTD lowdown on what I wore to the event. The outfit planning revolved around a little black dress from MAX&Co.  that's just so well fitting and pretty (that bow!). I added an orange-red bag, a sparkly pair of earrings and a pair of statement shoes you might recall seeing here. My hair was fashioned into a very casual updo by the great Svetlana De Bono at Toni and Guy Hilton Malta.

Urban Travel : Just Out & About in a SKIRT & PINK

 By: Unknown    02:28  No comments

So I've been set a challenge by MEXX Malta - to create and showcase different outfits related to Urban Travel over the next 3 months  - by urban travel ...they don't mean necessarily travelling (as the silly photographer insisted on by putting a wheelie bag in the photo) but literally just everyday life. Now we all know I tend to enjoy on occasion slightly 'different' dressing ..so I've challenged myself to tone it down a little bit and keep these a more 'normal' & 'everyday' for want of better word.

So this SKIRT - talk about pretty, pretty, pretty and also very flattering especially for pears like me. I love it  - I've called this my 'out and about outfit',  one that can easily transition from day-to-night - switch boots to high heels / remove sweater & add a fur shrug / keep boots and switch sweater to leather jacket  - many, many options. 

I think this exact outfit in all it's pink glory should be worn to 

A girly tea party at which you sip tea out of china mugs, pink is definitely the colour of choice for such an event.

A birthday party but I'd probably switch to higher heels if it's an evening event

A nice long lunch - I'd need to get up off the chair a few times so the skirt can be seen properly.

A day out shopping, preferably for nice expensive items.

Outfit Post : Featuring Carlton Agius

 By: Unknown    07:37  No comments

As mentioned here,  twice a month I will be featuring special outfit posts (not of myself but of different people). The idea is that you get the chance to see and learn from different styles and people not just mine. The focus will be mainly on Maltese people but there will be some international guests at some points too.

Our second guest  is Carlton Agius

Name : Carlton Agius

Job : Personal/Creative Assistant at Charles & Ron and freelance Photographer

Style Description : At the moment I’m obsessed with everything Western inspired. I love the cowboy-chic Saint Laurent introduced the last few seasons. Saying this, my style is not constant, meaning that generally with every season or two, I extract my favorite trends from the runways and incorporate them into my wardrobe.

Breakfast each Morning : I don't really make time for breakfast everyday, but when I do, i have a full English breakfast

Time to get Ready each Morning : Normally I plan an outfit in my mind before I go somewhere, so that makes it not much more than 5 minutes to get dressed.

Outfit Details : Top : Givenchy / Shoes : Saint Laurent / Bag : Charles & Ron / Jeans : Thrifted

What do you think of Carlton's style ? Leave a comment and let me know
