Sweatin' teen spirit - board of the week

Just purchased the Givenchy Madonna clutch after HUNTING it down for days and I'm BEYOND EXCITED.
 Hopefully in a close future, ill be able to pair it with these other bebes. I wanna start a family and adopt all of these into my home. 
Gonna be a grunge summer for me and I'm sweatin' teen spirit ! 

Hedi strikes again - Saint Laurent Paris new advertising approach




Unless you live in another galaxy, you are aware of the big changes that have been taken at Saint Laurent Paris (RIP Yves) in the past year. Hedi Slimane is hated or loved, you just have to pick your side at this point. I was literally shocked and very mad when the YSL name was changed. Like come on, were not gonna change Chanel to Coco Paris. Its just something you don't do. You don't change a religion's name. You just don't. 

Now that everyone has accepted the irreversable, Hedi strikes again. Now, i believe, in a hell of a good way. The whole "using celebrities" for ads thing has been done over and over again. Let's just all forget that and feel the magic.
Anyone in marketing knows that what he's doing is a hit or miss- but really, he hasn't forgot (nor missed) anything here. New advertising campaigns feature Daft Punk (whose new single rocks my socks), Courtney Love, Marylin Manson, Kim Gordon and Ariel Pink.

Say it once, say it twice. 
LONG LIVE ROCK N' ROLL !

Céline or Tom Ford ? we have an issue here.

Ya know, one of these hard decisions in life ? I am obviously getting both but the real question is, which one will be first? The Céline is très square, black on black, Posh oversized. The Tom Ford has mirror lenses and a very pronounced but still delicate cat eyed frame. 
The boy and the girl inside me are fighting... 
Which one would you pick ?

CURRENT OBSESSION : how to pull off the overalls look without looking like a house painter or BDSM lover

I can't stop looking or searching for the perfect pair of overalls. Obviously, the 3.1 Phillip Lim are the perfect incarnation of everything I've ever wanted. And obviously, they are way out of my price range. If you don't have a boyfriend working in finance busting your ass to save some cash like me, i strongly recommend you get your credit card and make an investment in those. You can find them here



For anyone else that will dare trying this trend, I've also made my little research for you. A great way to not spend to much is to find yourself a vintage pair. You probably won't find leather ones but jeans ones you will cut and rip will make a killer look !! For those ones who are not patient enough like me to vintage shop, Nasty Gall offers this one for a reasonable price. Then again, not leather, but its a great fit. For my vegan friends, ASOS offered this faux-leather dungarees that are pretty dope, not gonna lie.

As for how to wear them, i strongly recommend a loose sweater, preferably white, for the winter. Once the sunny days are upon us, a cropped top with stilettos will create a killer look ! Always roll them up at  the bottom to accentuate the shoes. Treat your overalls like they are normal pants, even leave the panel detached if you are into that ! 



Vegans do it better - Stella McCartney AW 2014

Seriously... again ? I beg mercy. I need to stop feeling like i should make a billion dollars a year to buy all her biodegradable soles shoes. And faux handbags. This is getting hard guys.

Ive been completely sold on the baseball cap look for a few months. My theory is now confirmed that investing in a few gorgeous caps is definitely a good idea. Also, once a get a grown up person job, buying one of her too well tailored coats is in my top priorities. Before paying rent. Is it that bad ? Seems ok to me. Happiness IS expensive after all.

polka polka dots dots

The silk trousers. The silk high-neck scarf. The monochrome. The sandals. 
The dots. 

Give me one of those ensemble and I won't bother anyone for a while. Or at least I'll try.

Berlin fashion week Fall 2013 - Augustin Teboul

Trying to keep myself updated last night on secondary fashion cities, i came across Augustin Tebouls runway looks and fainted (ok, no. but i was close.) This is a little shootout to my sister Laurence which i believe will faint too (this time, actually). 
I think it is clear that us, Gervais sisters, Low and Telle, name it, LOOOOVE BLACK.... and LOTS OF LEATHER.
 mesh. fringes. skinny bitches. 
thanks for the inspiration, Berlin boy !

fluffy mint winter

On this waaaaay too cold day there was absolutely nothing fashionable to wear. and i mean nothing. So i took my courage, and froze my fucking ass to take these few shots. My sister gave me this FLUUUUUUFFY mint coat (yes, something can be that awesome) from HM trend section I've spotted a while back. It is actually pretty warm I'm not gonna lie. All that to say, say hello to my favourite piece of this winter. and no worries, your gonna get to see a lot of this cutie pie!

Paired my fluff ball with a cashmere black turtleneck, some urban outfitters trousers i literally paid 5$ but LOVE, my MMM for H&M plexi booties and my "never-leaving-my-arm" Alexander Wang rocco tote. 








Costume National and The Row do simple sophisticated tailoring for pre-fall 2013


I recently dumped all (most) of my ripped shorts and tees to make more place for a new Meeeeee ! My new motto is all about slick silhouette, beautiful materials and simple chicness. 
Madame you say? Theres nothing wrong with a 20 year old looking effortless in a wide-ledged silk suit. Or at least theres nothing that screams POWER more then that. 
Costume National and The Row did justice to themselves for their pre-fall respective collections and leaving me a very happy costumer ! Plain and simple great inspirations ! 

First four shots are part of Italian brand Costume National and last fifth are from my beloved Olsen twins at The Row.

Acne studios spring obsessions


i think i could die for an all-white outfit (an XL suit preferably) and those little blue suede booties and pastel bag. 
Both accessories available at mytheresa.com 

Why is Phoebe Philo blowing everyones mind - Celine pre-fall 2013

First comes first : those platform boots. YES. 
Second : that huuuuuge buckle belt. YES YES. 
Third : leather overdose. YES YES YES YES. 

my complete adoration for Phoebe Philo continues. and it has nothing to do with her beautiful- but over abused - bags. If if see one more black luggage tote, i might just loose it/ start crying. 
you want to spend money and that gorgeous tailored leather coat. or those booties. People, wake up....we don't want a Chanel/Gucci problem all over again and start seeing fakes every corner. Lets start being original and have a lil fun, shall we ? 
I like to think of myself as a forward-thinking shopper. Philos vision is unique and will guide me this season. I hope it will do the same magic to you too. 


Stella McCartney does impeccable tailoring - Pre fall 2013


The effortless chicness of her pre-fall collection not only screams perfection but has just the right amount of exquisite pieces to inspire me until the real deal (aka Fall collection) hits us next month. 
ps : i dont do orange.... but then again, id do Stella. So why not ?
