THAT FRESH SILK BOMBER

Looking for the coolest transitional jacket right now ? Easy, just go for a fresh silk bomber, where practicality and style meet in one single piece.

 I fell in love with this green Gucci bomber when I spotted it on the runway. Sadly enough it was sold out immediately when it hit the stores.

Same story for the Dries Van Noten one..

Luckily you'll find lots of cheaper versions which look amazing as well, like Olivia Palermo in this reversible Topshop bomber .

 With bold and beautiful Asian-inspired art or floral embroidery, these pieces feel extra special, like something unearthed at your favourite vintage store.  Even better, they provide a perfect layer to slip under your winter coat and will make a statement-worthy spring jacket once the weather warms. Plus, you need little else to make your whole outfit.

Effortlessly cool, the bomber jacket looks right with jeans and dresses alike. The more dressier versions of the bomber jacket, like a printed one as featured in this street style looks, are great for giving your outfit that little extra …

GOING MAD FOR METALLIC

Normally I’m not really a huge fan of anything shiny but when I discovered these silver sandals a few seasons ago at Dries Van Noten, I was sold. Up till now they are still my favourite ones cause they can be worn subtle or flashy.

Absolutely loved these colorfull ones from Fratelli Rosetti when I discovered them at the press days last season.

Now you see metallic heels everywhere. What’s great about these mirrored splash heels are the diverse kinds that are available. Love the metallic wedges, and the pink and silver ones are so interesting...  I’ll have to rock a new pair for this season. 

Hm..what about this golden, sparkly beauty from N°21 for next FW 16/17 shown at the showroom in Paris ? So many options, so many choices ....

MANOLO BLAHNIK IN THE HOUSE

Manolo Blahnik has finally arrived in Antwerp after all these years of waiting ..... !!! 

Yes, we are so excited ! Exclusive available at the amazing SN3 store in Antwerp city. 

As proved by "Sex and the city" and all the it-girls, you can never go wrong with a pair of Manolo's. 

Personally, I fell in love with the pink satin ones ....

But of course the most famous ones are the cobalt blue ones...

Everybody remembers how after the countless ups and downs between Carrie and Mr. Big, it only seems fitting that the couple seals the deal with a proposal featuring the Hangisi satin pumps in cobalt blue, in lieu of an engagement ring.

Exciting news cause Rihanna now has a footwear collaboration in the works with none other than Manolo Blahnik  !!!  The denim-driven collection, Rihanna x Manolo Blahnik, will debut May 5. It features sequins and embroidery influenced by Rihanna’s hand tattoos. They appear on designs including thigh-high boots and an open-toe sandal. The limited-edition capsule collection includes six styles, a selection of sandals, pumps and boots.(Available in the London, New York and Hong Kong stores exclusively)

TRIED AND APPROVED

With my busy life, one thing I always make sure is a beauty bag packed with just my essentials that I can pick up and take with me in a moments notice. Perfect for a quick get away. All tried and tested on several occasions I wanted to share my favourite beauty bag essentials: 

* DOCTOR BABOR DETOX LIPO CLEANSER

This deep cleansing balm with an anti-pollution effect melts on your skin and transforms into a cleansing milk when water is added to open pores and remove impurities. It contains a detox complex to protect skin against negative environmental factors. Loved it from the first moment I used it.

* RITUALS MOUSSE AU HAMMAM

This unique whipped shower mousse with Organic Argan Oil & Fresh Fig is just delicious. It leaves your skin smooth and soft.  

* RITUALS LOTUS SHIMMER BODY CREAM

This body cream gives my skin a beautiful shine thanks to the glitter effect in the cream. It was part of the Indian Summer line, a limited edition, but I bought a few and still use it weekly, even in winter.   

* TOM FORD JAPON NOIR EAU DE PARFUM 

Part of the Private Blend collection by Tom Ford this eau de parfum can be used solely or in combination with other fragrances from the collection. I adore the penetrating fresh amber,bitter and smoky smell.  

* COLLISTAR ULTRA NERO MASCARA

No beauty bag is complete without a mascara, let' s be real.  And my Collistar Mascara just gives me everything it promises. Although it's not that easy to find in my country, (I always buy it in the airport), it is definitely worth looking for it.

* MAC BRONZE POWDER 

A powder that gives my skin a sheer, natural colour and bronzes the face. Ideal for enhancing a skin tone or to accent a tan.

XOXO
