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)

BEYOURSELFIE WITH PATRIZIA PEPE

Party-time in Antwerp last thursday at "Patrizia Pepe's boutique" for the launch of the #SELFIE24 tour, inspired by the digital selfie trend for their AW14 Campaign which pictures a young, trendy, women, always ready to post pictures of her looks. 
Patrizia Pepe's AW14 collection contains lots of floral prints, dark purple and dark blue tones mixed with brighter rose and pine-green colours. 
We loved the handbags and the shoes...OMG, the shoes were very hard to resist ( The biker boots, the ankle boots ( They were high, I mean like really high !!!) and they were so perfect for fall !

ANTWERP & OTHER STORIES

Yes, yes, it's a fact. "& Other Stories" (H&M sister) has arrived in Antwerp and we are already addicted. Shoes (lots of them), accessories, clothes, nail polish, makeup, skin care, all at affordable prices.God, how can anyone resist ? 

In case you worry about a to minimalistic touch, .....don't : Some patterns of their high summer collection have been styled by the print-loving fashionista Susie Bubble(Susanna Lau)and as you can see on the pics(shot by street photographer Phil Oh in Milan and Paris)it's all about brightness and happiness and prints on prints.

On top of that good news, Russian designer Vika Gazinskaya (you know, with her impeccable designs,worn by Miroslava Duma or Anya Ziurova but unfortunately incredible high priced) has finally  released a collection of her characteristically feminine dresses and blouses ( with polka dots or drawn stripes)in collaboration with & Other Stories ! Think a youthful vibrant spring summer capsule of affordable fashion, still with her couture design aesthetic. What are you waiting for ?  

XOXO

LOVE ... ANTWERP

It's always nice to come back to Antwerp, my beautiful city....and visit all my favourite little spots ..

XOXO
