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.

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!

Weekend Round Up Post #2

This has been a very busy week! After spending all my work breaks, flight hours and in-between errands time preparing for a new project starting December 1st - Vlogmas, y'all! - I'm trying to make the most of this weekend by pampering and resting before heading back to Belgium tomorrow for my last week of work before the highly anticipated trip to Paris next week! Here are this week's posts in case you want catch up!

Taking A Bath With itStyle 3.42.2 Glamour Lipstick

Every once in a while, a girl has got to fill up her bath with bubble fun, put her polka dotted shower cap on, remove all her make-up and wear her current favourite lipstick - it's all very romantic comedy style. If the girl happens to be a blogger, it would be advisable to take pictures of it all.

I was given this particular shade - namely itStyle Glamour Lipstick no. 3.42.2 - at last week's itStyle launch in Sliema, and since it has been sitting on my dressing table with all the other lovely products I was given to try out, I have been reaching for it almost every single day. In comparison to my other deep red lipstick colours, this particular one has a slight dark pink tone to it that sets it apart. In fact, if a deep red lipstick and a dark pink lipstick were to have a mini lipstick baby, this would be its colour.

Whereas the packaging is really not my cup of tea - I always prefer plain packaged items, alas! - I only have words of praise with regard to the colour pay-off, pigmentation as well as the longevity of the product. It usually lasts me around an entire day without even drying my lips.

The lipstick also has a hint of shine or gloss to it, but for all those fellow members of the 'we don't like shiny lipsticks at all' club - of which I am president, of course - it's not that much of a big deal. It passes my test. 

I have another colour from this range which I need to share with you all as well. Maybe next time I'll shoot myself in the shower.

I Plaid Guilty

Since it is rather unacceptable to attend any fashion event naked - I'm clearly taking the piss here okay? - I decided to wear my new plaid pants to the M&S launch last Saturday. I'm slightly obsessed with plaid this season, so I definitely had to get a pair of trousers to wear almost every other day. I got this particular pair from Strasbourg last week and even though you can't catch the colour from these particular photos - too much sunlight for good photos.. - they're in a perfect maroon colour. They're very similar to the ones I had posted in my mid-week wishlist last week.

As I tend to do, I paired a plain white shirt on top and neutral black accessories. I never wear my huge cartwheel hat, but last Saturday I was in a particularly hatty mood so I said, 'why not?'

Details of the outfit as well as my LookBook hype button are at the end of the entry.

Mirroir

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.
