My dreamt dress

Hello there! No I am not dead but my current work keeps me kind of busy so no time for regular updates on my English blog :s. They will be ten times more mistakes (if it was possible...) in this post than in the previous ones as I lack some practise in English but please bare with me.
You may already know that I live in Paris in a really wealthy district so they are a lot of cloth designer shops around my place. And this afternoon, sneaking around for some interesting sales (yeah it is summer sale time here), I discovered a brand new shop from a Spanish designer I have never heard about : Sonia Peña. I am totally out when it comes to fashion and clothes in general, maybe she is famous but it is not a big deal for me. 

Anyway, the shop was fully packed with amazing cocktail and nightime dresses and as wedding season is up for me I thought why not have a closest look. Yeah I am aging (sigh!) and all my closest friends are getting married this summer or next one.
I have to say the dresses are fantastic! I was a bit scared to look like a big fat cow trying to fit in something too skiny for her but it ends up looking OK I think (I hope?). 
The sale assistant who took care of me insisted that I tried a "mermaid" dress as I like to call them (a sheath dress I think is the real name) because it would emphasize my best curves and hide the "barely there" ones (so to say my big booty and my missing boobs). 

The fabric is really heavy (which means high quality for me), the design quality is stunning and the cut is perfect. They were hundreds of underlayers in there but the outcome was impressive. Not because I was in there but because it makes me look right, well-shaped and over-glamourous :).
Here is the pic of the one I tried even if mine was fuschia without the fluffy belt (as I stay away from black for wedding)

So what you think? Wearable for a classy wedding or not? It is pretty pricey yeah (600€ I think) but the quality is there! Maybe it will be a lil cheaper soon with the sales? I have to check with a guy friend what he thinks about me wearing this (men are rude but good advisors for wedding :) )

See ya :)

PS: I am not raving about the way I look, trust me there is absolutely nothing to rave about but if you want to give yourself a special treat with an amazing dress you'd better have a look to this Spanish designer :p

Shopping on sale

I was a little annoyed by several things today, so I have to do some shopping to destress. And for the first time, no make up or skincare!!! Yeap, thumbs up for me :)
So I went to the closest shopping mall from my place and headed to two shops : one of clothes and the other one of accessories.
-For clothes, I chose Uniqlo. I do not know if there are shops abroad but it is a japanese brand which sells tops in all the colours, cuts and sizes you can dream off. I took 3 long-sleeve, V neck pullovers made of blended cashmere. I love cashmere, it is so silky and hot. They are not over funky but they are well cut and easy to wear on a daily basis. What rocks is the sizing, the smallest size which is S is based on japonese standards which make them really small. For skinny top girls like I am, it is a pain to find tight-fitting tops but here it is heaven!!!Creepy pic, but you see the colouring. Not very bright, yeah I love dark clothes!

- Then I finished my shop trip to Accessorize. Most Britains know about this brand. They sell accessorizes (funny indeed). I bought two pairs of earrings, long, feather-like shape... They are the kind I like the most, not too overpowering but stylish enough on my personal opinion. I like the fact that they are not too voluminous, not too eye-catching and then they will not attract attention on my elf ears.
Sale frenzy, anyone?

See ya :)

Kangoroo's dress?

An other fashion post...

Yeah I know, I am not what you can call a fashion addict but I'd like to show you a part of my mother's birthday gift. It was a while ago but I had no occasion to wear it until today...

This dress is definitely a cute one in my opinion. I really like its shape and the way it hides and just suggests my body curves. I like the wide pocket on the front side. It makes me feel like a kangoroo mummy :)
It is a bit short to go to work but as the temperature is really high now my bosses become less exacting for clothes. I am not found of the colours, as green is not very flattering for my pale olive complexion but I have to say for once it does not matter.

This outfit is so comfy and funny that I do not really care about its colours
(well if it was sparkling blue with stars painted on...).

So what do you think about it?

That is it for today!
See ya:)

Samurai outfit?

Hi there! Me again talking about fashion...

Well not really about fashion as I am not really following any trend but about an original
(in my point of view) outfit I really like! My mum bought it for me as a birthday gift and first, I found it way too weird to be worn on a daily basis. But I tried it on, and OMG it is so comfy that I decided to give it a try as a work outfit. It may sound really surprising to some of you but in my field of work, no one care about how you dress as long as you are not nearly naked :). I work mostly with guys so mini skirts are not the best option!

It is not very clear on the picture
(you can click on to have a larger view:)) but it is all in one piece, a kind of mixture between a ninja's outfit and a salwar.
Ayway that is what I wear today with my funny red shoes and I think that it looks kind of cool and that it does not suit me too bad... So give me your thoughts
(don't mind the multiplugs in the background, I am not the tidiest person :p).

See ya :)

So what?

I want to talk about something a bit different today... I will show you my last shoes purchase! Yeah I know they are perhaps "too much" for some of you but I do love them! I am not a shoe addict and I may be the least fashion-addicted girl on Earth but I have to say that from time to time, I fell in love with a pair of high heels no one else will ever buy...
Why do I buy these ones more specifically? Because they remind me the Minnie's one, the fiancée of Mickey. Yeah I know I am completely crazy but in my opinion, it gives a very nice and funny twist to a very classical jean & black shirt look. I don't wear them on a daily basis but from time to time it makes me feel over sexy and kind of funny :)

Please don't pay attention to the moskito's bite on my ankle, I seem to be very appealing to them!

See ya :)
