The Short Story

Hi lovelies,

How is your weekend so far? Mine is great, the weather is so sunny over here in Holland it makes me happy and wishing it was summer already! 

When the temperature is getting higher and the sun starts to shine I can't wait to pull out my shorts again.. Shorts are one of my favorite pieces for spring and summer, because you can combine them in so many different ways. You can put heels under it to make your outfit more feminine, but you can also wear them with flats and a nice simple t-shirt or top for a casual look. And another great thing you have them in so many different types. You have the denim shorts for a casual or tough look but also the very classy, feminine ones made from cotton or lace. So there is a perfect short for everyone!

As you can read I really love the short! Just to give you some ideas how you can wear different styles when it comes to a short I collected some of my favorite combinations for some inspiration..

What is your favorite way to combine your shorts?

With Love, J.

   

H&M and Paris Fashion Week

Hi Loved ones,

Did you see the H&M fashion show during Paris Fashion week? 

If not you should definitely watch it. 

H&M showed there new autumn/winter collection last wednesday during Paris Fashion Week. The catwalk was huge, they invited 600 guest to this event, and the music on the background was a live performance from Cecile Cassel, pretty cool right? The catwalk show featured some of the hottest models right now, like Magdalena Frackowiak and Izabel Goulart. Also the front row was a sea of famous faces and included guests like Miranda Kerr and Jessica Alba.

This was the second runway show that H&M presented during Paris Fashion Week. The collection was a mix of masculine and feminine styles and captured Biker Jackets, sexy Slip Dresses and Draped Tops. The outerwear had an accent on faux fur and the sweater were created with cashmere fabrics. The collection is very stylish, wearable and affordable. 

I collected some outfits I definitely want to hang in my clothes!

The collection will be hanging in the stores on september 2014.

You can watch the whole show to click on the video below.

What do you think of the H&M autumn/winter collection of 2014?

With Love, J.

Milan Fashion Week overview part two

Hi loves,

I was talking about Milan Fashion Week in my last post, but just to make the post a little shorter I decided to divide the overview of Milan Fashion Week's big shows in two posts. So I'm giving you an overview part two in this post.

  

The Roberto Cavalli show was really feminine and he used a lot of grey, black and white in the clothing. The outerwear was definitely my favorite. The collection captured a lot of beautiful ponchos and long coats for the autumn/winter season. Besides he had a lot of bejeweled dresses and pants in his collection which makes this collection very glamourous. 

The collection of Emilio Pucci consisted a lot of graphic prints which made the show really fun to watch. Besides the prints, there were also beautiful black items like dresses and sweaters. Emilio Pucci had many sparkles in the new collection captured in bejeweled dresses. I think the dresses that were captured in this collection are definitely red-carpet worthy. 

The Dolce e Gabbana show had an enchanting glow over it. The catwalk was absolutely stunning and so were the clothes, they took you to the enchanting forrest that we all know from the fairytales. The oversized capes and flowing silk were definitely different than what we are used to from the designers. They used fabrics with foxes, swans and owls on it which makes this collection very special. Also the key-print is coming back a lot in this collection. What do you think of the enchanted collection from Dolce e Gabbana?

The last show I want to talk about is the show from Giorgio Armani. For the autumn/winter collection for 2014 he used a lot of grey wool. He combined them with shades of lime green which made it a beautiful collection. He created fluid trousers, fitted blazers and suits in different tones. The wool definitely dominated the catwalk in the Giorgio Armani show.  

So this was Milan Fashion Week in a nutshell. I think MFW had great shows and new collections to show, don't you? What do you think of the shows from Milan Fashion week? Which one is your favorite? 

With Love, J.

ps. See you in Paris!
