Gigantesque et délicate

For today's location, I decided to go for a holiday look. I know we are not the 25th yet, but chances are that I'll be to busy with Christmas stuff to write a blog post on that day. Since today's location is a cathedral, I thought it was the perfect occasion to create a holiday outfit. The dress might be a little short for church, but I added black tights to make it a little more decent. Anyway, I have seen worse. I know the outfit is quite black except for the bright red coat, but that's because the dress is so sparkly that I felt the accessories needed to be a bit more neutral, but the gold of the clutch adds a nice metallic touch to the outfit. 

Oh, and for the one who go to church in the morning on the 25th and find it weird that I mention church for such an evening look, well, in Quebec, we go to church in the evening of the 24th. It is what we called the "Réveillon". So after the church ceremony, we go back to the house of a family member and we get our gifts and eat plenty of food. I'm not sure though if this tradition is only done by Quebec catholics or by all catholics, so if you know something about it, feel free to leave a comment. As for the 25th, well, we get some more gifts in the morning and we celebrate again in the evening. Well, that's how it is in my family, as I know some take the 25th to relax after the party of the 24th.

Mardi, c'est la Belgique

Today's location is a belgian city, but I have to admit that I created the outfit based on the pair of leather shorts. I wanted to try and create an outfit using leather shorts and I think it doesn't look bad at all, even if not super colorful. I especially like the detail of the ankle boots.

Bürgerhaus in den Wiesen

I decided to go for an elegant look for this hotel in North Wales which seems equally elegant. I love the ruffles of the dress and the bow of the shoes. I chose the flower ring for this outfit to represent the gardens surrounding the hotel.

Niseag...

We all know about the Loch Ness, especially because of the Loch Ness monster, also known as Nessie. As it can be chilly and windy around body of waters, except maybe around the Mediterranean Sea, but Loch Ness is in Scotland, very far away from the Mediterranean Sea, I went for a turtleneck, jeans and a coat. The sneakers are simply to be comfortable while exploring locations around the Loch Ness.

Caisteal Sgìobail

Skibo Castle is now operated as the Carnegie Club, a members-only club and hotel, so visiting it might be difficult. I went for an elegant look to go with the members-only club atmosphere.

Cirice

Another church, another elegant look (perhaps slightly inspired by GCB).

Lá Fhéile Pádraig

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'm part Irish so I decided to make a set  that would go with today's event AND the location. It's a church, so I suppose it works well with a day celebrating a saint.


The main colors of this set are green (the dress) and gold (everything else except the tights) to go with the day's celebration. Because the location is a church, the dress is a bit conservative.
