Tour Eiffel

I think every blogger has their 'dream outfit post' at the back of their mind when they start blogging their fashion adventures. Mine has always been shooting my look with the Eiffel Tower in the background. Everyone and their mother knows what an unhealthy obsession I have with Paris and the Eiffel Tower in particular. So can you blame me?

Apart from being shot in the quintessential Boffism setting, this look features an item that I have been coveting for weeks now: THE PLAID JUMPER! After endless weeks of rummaging through charity shops and scouting the high street for a worthy plaid candidate, my eyes finally fell on this gem in a tiny Parisian vintage store.

Two new entries included in this look are my doctor-style bag from Forever 21 - yes, there's a Forever 21 in Paris! - as well as my grey socks from H&M. As of late, I've been quite into rolling up my pants to expose my hosiery. That's how I roll.

Check out the full outfit details at the end of the post. Don't forget you can also hype my look on lookbook.nu. Oh, and if you are interested to see what else happened on the day we shot this outfit, you can watch this vlog from my #boffismvlogmas.

République

A few days ago, I posted about spotting the perfect beige coat at Zara in Brussels. After a few sleepless nights - thinking about this marvelous creation - I decided to go ahead and make it mine. I wore it to my sister's graduation for the first time, but it makes its official premiere here on Boffism thanks to this outfit we shot in Place Rèpublique, Paris.

This was a severely cold day, one of those in which you wonder whether the universe has created anything warm enough in the sartorial department to help you survive it. My Zara coat pretty much did the trick though, especially paired with this plaid scarf my mother made me from this random piece of fabric we found at a market stand.

I have to admit that being in Paris for a couple of days has reminded me of my aesthetic sense's strong French flair. I'm a sucker for all things Parisian, in particular. Hence why this outfit came together in the city of lights.

Don't forget that all the outfit details as well as my lookbook.nu hype button can be found at the end of the post! See you tomorrow!

La Butte

No trip to Paris is complete without a stroll in the character-rich Montmartre area. I decided to shoot a couple of photos in the Place du Tertre zone to show off this faux fur coat I thrifted from a second-hand bazaar I visited a couple of weeks ago.

It's really cold in Paris at the moment, and to be quite frank, this coat is the only thing that keeps me warm as I walk through the streets of the French capital. To complete the look - and hide my horrible hair - I went for a headscarf, a plain maroon t-shirt as well as my trusty jeggings (also featured in yesterday's outfit). 

More about the outfit as well as a lookbook.nu hype button at the end of the entry. Tata!

Charles de Gaulle

Here I am! Finally in Paris! Day 1 in Paris was unbearably cold but unsurprisingly full of emotions. The highlights of my day included spotting the Eiffel tower when I was on the airport shuttle bus (with a string of 'OMG's necessarily attached to the moment), a stroll along the Champs d'Elysees, as well as hanging out around the Arc de Triomphe.

I had been up since 4am in order to catch the early flight, and since I hadn't slept much the night before, I was quite tired last night. Hence why I chose to stay in planning the extremely busy days ahead. Don't forget to check out my vlogs from Paris as part of #boffismvlogmas,  should be up later today!

This is the outfit I travelled with as well as the look I sported during the entire day before retiring back to my apartment just off the Champs d'Elysees (pretty great location, right?). I wanted to be comfortable yet still fun and fresh, so I went for a jumper - denim jacket - acid wash jeggings combination, all paired with my warm H&M scarf and my staple buckle shoes.

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!
