Pink Fashion Show at the Malta Aviation Museum

Local fashion events have increased exponentially over the past year. In between store openings, blogger previews and fashion shows, our calendars can barely take all the enthusiasm around these fashion happenings. It is, however, a particular pleasure to attend one of the most well-organised fashion shows I've ever had the pleasure to sit for. Last night's Pink Fashion Show, at the impressive Malta Aviation Museum in Ta' Qali, was one of those events I would have regretted not being part of.

In a venue that could easily give some of the most prestigious international settings a run for their money, one of Malta's leading fashion publications brought together some of the biggest names in the sartorial scene for a show that was as jaw-dropping as it was enjoyable. The 1940s vibe could be felt everywhere even as the guests pranced in with their Sunday suits, albeit it being Wednesday!

The outfits I had the occasion to see yesterday included garments from Marks and Spencer, Max & Co. as well as pieces from Blumarine. I was particulary drawn to a number of items from the latest Tommy Hilfiger collection too. Other brands included high-street giant Guess and recently opened store Coccinelle.

The show was also a great example of inspirational styling! I will definitely be trying out some of the combinations that the models so gracefully showcased on the catwalk. A big well done to everyone, here's hoping for another one in Spring!

Fifteen

If there's one thing that can quickly teleport me back to my early teenage years, it's definitely a pair of Converse style sneakers. I doubt how many of you knew of my existence since then - not complaining, the hair choices I made at the time are of a cringing nature - but I was indeed a Greenday-obsessed curly head who practically lived in Converse.

At one point in time, in between the release of Avril Lavigne's 'Let Go' album and the time Simple Plan's 'Welcome to my Life' was all the rage, I owned 29 pairs of such sneakers. They were paired to everything from blazers, to tailored pants, to band t-shirts, all the way to my school uniform PE tracksuit. I eventually grew out of them - after endless 'you need to outgrow the Converse phases' sermons by at least 30 people in my life - and remained hesitant to start re-wearing the ever since.

However, I've finally given in and got myself a pair from New Look. I spent Saturday afternoon out in the countryside and quite frankly these are the only shoes that I could wear for 'the occasion'. The entire outfit ended up being an impromptu tribute to my early teen fashion sense - the plaid shirt, white t-shirt, dark boyfriend denims all fit in the fifteen-year old Boffism picture.

In order to keep with the fifteen year old theme, I decided to jump up and down like a frog. I was quite fond of that during the time.

Yo dawgs! Look at me speaking like a proper gangster. As you might have realised, I'm in France for nearly the entire week. I take way too many photos here, so I decided to add a couple to the hundreds I've snapped already by capturing my outfit in a shop window. That's probably as close to being in a shop window I'll ever get (or not?)

Whenever I'm in Strasbourg, I always feel the need to dress up like a proper French woman: stripes, leggings or skinnies, a contrasting scarf and plain ballerina flats. This time was no exception. 

Outfit details are at the bottom of the post. Don't forget to follow my photography blog for some photos of this perfect French location.
