Sehr britisch...

So, all the major fashion weeks are over. Haven't seen all the shows yet (well, the pictures) since I waited for all of them to be over as my Style.com app doesn't show the fashion shows by cities, only by seasons. So new ones kept appearing in the alphabetical order and I kinda started to loose track of the one I had seen and the one I hadn't seen. Anyway, for what I observed, the spring colors vary between pastel, vivid colors and dark colors including black. As for Montreal's Fashion Week (yes, we have our own fashion week), I tried to find picture but they are nowhere to be found. Would have liked to talk about it, just to not be "another fashion blogger talking about New York, London, Milan and Paris". Before I talk about today's outfit, I just want to say that the Chanel collection is amazing! 


Now, today's outfit: very simple look with the presence of my obsession (bows!). The Vivienne Westwood jacket is to add a bit of color to this pretty neutral outfit and also to add some "britishness" to the clothes and accessories coming mainly from Japan or the US. The plaid of the jacket is also very british.

Chasse et pêche

Hey! So, you might have noticed something new was added to this blog... Yup, I've started to add links to my favorite blogs and websites on different pages as to not clutter (too much) the side of my blog. So, if you want your blog to appear in the links, just post a comment or send me an email, I'll add it. This also stands for the ones who are already in the list but feel they are in the wrong category.


Anyway, on to the outfit. The location, Arundell Arms, is a place where people go to do outdoor activities like fishing and other stuff. That is why I decided to go with jeans, sneakers and a t-shirt. The look is slightly upgraded with the handbag (which I absolutely adore!), the necklace and the bracelet.

Ma campagne anglaise

Hello my lovelies! So, for this outfit I decided to use a t-shirt and a jean jacket to tone down the lacey skirt as the location is a hotel in the country side. Don't know why the color pink is quite present, I suppose I felt like it. The flower theme found with the flats, handbag and earrings is to reminisce the flowers one usually find in an english garden in the countryside. The flats are also present because of their comfortability and also because i don't imagine anyone walking in heels on grass... in the countryside... in humid England.

Les sept petits...

Yes, again the english seaside, but decided to avoid a seaside theme in the clothing this time. I decided to go with a cute polkadot dress and wedges. The color of those wedges resembles the pinky beige found on the dress (well, that's the color I get from the picture, may be more pink in real life). The accessories are there to complement the rest of the outfit and the handbag is to give it a spark of originality (and cuteness... admit it, that owl handbag is cute!).


Now, fun fact about the location: The island was the inspiration for Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None". Ok, maybe it's more of a fun fact to someone who actually read the book...

Señorita

The location this time is NOT the seaside, thank goodness! It's a palace. So, I decided to go for a dress with lace and a jean jacket with a fancy bow. Yes, I love bows. I have to admit that I'm not that proud of this set as I used a pre-made template (shame on me indeed). Hence why the handbag is a small heart-shaped purse because it fitted in that space. Still goes with the outfit, but would have chosen something else in a normal situation. Oh well, I tried using a pre-made template, didn't like the result and will from now on stop using said templates.

La mer... encore la mer... toujours la mer...

So I'm starting to think that the author of "1000 Places to See Before you Die" may have a thing for the english seaside, which explains why at least 3 outfits in a row have a nautical theme, a bit more present perhaps in this outfit as you might have noticed with the top, the necklace and the ring. The jeans are just my personal obsession and I simply found the handbag original. 


Feel free to comment and enjoy the rest of your day. Oh, nearly forgot to say that I did this set 2 months ago, so not as outdated as the previous ones!

St. Ives

Not much to say about this outfit. It's inspired by the british seaside (again) of St. Ives. The strapless dress is worn over a puffy-sleeved white tee, a perfect way to give your dress another look and for girls who, like me, aren't fond of showing their shoulders too much. The downside, as my mother would put it, is "it makes more laundry!".
