Victorian collars, chockers, and now the pussy bow ties are making a come back on the catwalks! Talk about fashion always recycling old gimmicks! But as, the french say, old pots cook the best jams.

How to wear white pants in fall and winter
Bonjour, bonjour, A bit shy to write those words considering how long I was gone. To be honest, it is difficult to explain why I have been away from the blog for such a while. As you may know (I really HOPE you do know ^^) I have published a book (that you can buy […]

Not such a good idea: the two faced top
In every shop it swaggers, both casual and refined, showcasing its assets, waiting for you to buy it… the two faced top. I am sure you’ve already met, maybe he has even already nested in your closet. Let me introduce you to him. He is a bi material lad, looking dressy on the front and low-key […]
How to layer under a thin top?
When it comes to layering, we naturally lean toward wearing the thinest, tinniest layers close to our skin and the toughest, biggest on the outside. Just like in the nature (think onion).
