It's official May has become FASHION month in Malta - I'm not quite sure how this happened..it isn't that way in foreign countries...our fashion awards and later our fashion week always took place in May so maybe that started it all, or maybe the fact that the weather has started to get nice and sunny but the intense summer heat hasn't started yet, either way, for whatever reason(s) May in Malta = Fashion. 

This means that besides the super exciting and soon-approaching fashion week, there are a number of other fashion shows and events taking place around the island throughout May, the first of which took place yesterday. Fashion For a Cause as it is titled, is organised yearly by MYN media (Marisa Grima, Yvonne Desira Buttigieg and Noelene Miggiani) and this year was in aid of Marigold Foundation. The show was set up in the form of a tea party at Villa Francia under the patronage of Mrs Michelle Muscat. The place is stunning...really really beautiful...I'm always amazed when I discover yet another beautiful building in Malta, we really are lucky to have such a wealth of heritage in our country.

The brands which participated in this show were ALDO shoes, LIST ROMA, Massimo Dutti, Pronovias, Marks&Spencer, Victor Azzopardi Jewellers, Monsoon. The event kicked off with a stylish tea party in the back garden followed by a lovely catwalk show in the front garden with models from supernovamodel.com styled by Marisa. I really liked the setting of this catwalk, it felt different somehow and really appropriate for the occassion.

I didn't actually get to watch the show..I was backstage working away but the clothes from up close looked absolutely LOVELY...loved Marisa's styling and loved the actual clothes; soooo many pretty dresses.

Shopping Post : Pretty Dresses for Summer

 By: Unknown    13:41  No comments

For this week's edition of Caroline hits a shop and shows you what's in stock we've got Jennyfer and their brand spanking new pretty summer dresses. Not sure about but when the intense summer heat hits, all I want to wear is a dress ..a lightweight summer dress..forget about jeans..forget about trousers and cool fashion..at some point it's just too hot. The problem is the best dresses are usually sold out by June...before the heat hits and I never find any to buy when I desperately need them..so maybe this year, I need to plan ahead....

This post is a collaborative post between Caroline's Fashion Styling and JENNYFER Malta, ALL content represents my opinions and styling ideas.

Shopping Post : Great DRESSES at Jane

 By: Unknown    22:26  No comments

As promised, here is the second instalment in the series - what's in the stores this new season? I visited Jane Norman and they have some great dresses, sometimes after the festive season, it can be hard to find great dresses, it seems that the ones in the shops are always too casual or too sparkly (left over from xmas) at Jane I was pleasantly surprised to find a great variety, there are some delicate, pretty options, some super sparkly ones, traditional bodycons, which I'm no longer too keen on but ppl keep loving, and lots of different colour options!

Check out some photos which I snapped of some of my fave spotted items :

Visit the sale on both in Sliema and Valletta! P.S. Follow Jane Norman on facebook -  Jane Norman. The store can be found in both Sliema and Valletta in Malta.
