Liste Rouge

Une touche de piment pour égayer notre dressing hivernal. Du rouge-intense, du rouge- passion , du rouge-amour, du rouge-toujours...longue liste ROUGE pour une allure glamour.

Côté dressing : Sonia Rykiel a osé la déferlante du ROUGE :


En accessoires :Broches, colliers,sacs, ils verront tous ROUGE !



Chaussures : Tapis rouge pour pieds rouges!!


Le ROUGE n'en finissant pas d'en faire un CARTON, il ne vous reste plus qu'à choisir, votre rayon de prédilection.


Seules alertes ROUGE en matière de dress-code :
- Eviter le total look "RED", définitivement too much et réservé au petit chaperon rouge ou plus d'actualité au père Noël
- Eviter l'association ROUGE et noir, sous peine de carton rouge. L'effet Jeanne Mas ou supporter du Stade Toulousain n'est pas du meilleur goût. Tolérée à la rigueur, si cette association est siglée C L (Christian Lacroix)

Enfin, pour celles qui auraient un besoin intense d'en savoir d'avantage...sur ce coloris trés sexy....ROUGE

Mary Janes

Ever since I did that post on cute Vivienne Tam dresses a few months ago, I've been wanting a pair of Mary Jane's! They just look SO perfect with all the pretty short dresses floating around lately. Maybe this makes me a bit late on catching up with the Mary Jane wagon since Miu Miu already had that phase last season on their runway, but better late then never right?
So the pair that I've been seriously considering and almost bought is this pair from Marc by Marc Jacobs, probably in Black/Black, but Black/White does seem more interesting.....But Anyway, the point is, that I like the perfectly rounded toe and the platform and how the overall chunkiness works. The only problem I've encountered with this is that the chunkiness of the heels just a little bit off..... so despite the tempting discounts there are online for these pair (down by $100 I think), I have decided to wait until I can try it in person first.

And if those don't work out, I may go and try these from Aldo (left) and Linea Paolo (right). They have a different feel since they're not as chunky and I'm not sure about the peep toe in winter, but I DO like the platform and the heels. Plus I do so love the huge button on the Aldo pair, its the perfect detail to make it funky!
More Mary Jane's with buttons from Max Studio (left) and Dolce Vita (right) although these don't have the platform (platform Mary Janes are SO hard to find!). Though again I think the heels of the Dolce Vita is a bit off, too square with the rest of the design.
Funkier Mary Janes from Tapeet (left) and Marc by Marc Jacobs (right). I'm not sure I like the wide ankle strap but I really like the overall shape of the Tapeet pair.
Girlier and sleeker Mary Janes from Barneys Co-op (left) and Aldo (right). They look nice, but personally I think they're too sleek to go with the dresses this season.


Wow there really aren't that many places with Mary Janes around this season! Anymore suggestions on places to look? I feel like I've been onto all the sites these last few days looking for the perfect pair of Mary Janes and the only one that comes close is the Marc by Marc Jacobs platform ones.

I Dream of a Lifestyle Involving Many Cocktail Dresses III: Sequined Scarves

One of my favourite ways to wear skinny scarves has been to wear it like a tie. (Emphasise on the 'like' -I still haven't figured out how to tie a tie yet even though I have been taught several times.) So recently I was styling and shopping my friend for her pre-graduation party season For her traffic light party, she already had a basic cotton, round-necked, short-sleeved dress. It wasn't a dress that screamed party so I decided accessories. The obvious choice would be to go for an oh-so-popular wide, patent leather belt, but it didn't really suit her. So I chose her a thin, silver sequined scarf from Oasis (a UK high street store,). I've seen her party photos and believe me, the sequined scarf really adds a sparkly-and-glam factor to an outfit. Here's an imitation of her outfit:

A plain dress from Top Shop. While dresses like that aren't exactly party material, they are good for day-to-night days. Plus -

For night, add a sequined scarf to make the basic dress more fun.

If you have a dressy event and you want to wear a sequined scarf, make sure your dress is pretty plain, like this purple Shelly Steffee slip dress or this electric blue Julie Haus Cha Cha dress.

Even though I haven't tried it yet, I suspect a sequined scarf would also look cool with strapless dresses. The green A-line dress if by Susana Monaco and the black one if by Laila Azhar.

Or a V-neck dress.

This woven beaded scarf is also from Oasis. It's not as sparkly as the all-sequined one, but I can't find the exact photo on Oasis' website.

If sequined scarves are too 'bling' or 'shiny' for you, then maybe go for a metallic scarf and wrap it all around your neck like in this image from Urban Outfitters.

I Dream of a Lifestyle Involving Many Cocktail Dresses II: Backless Dresses

So I realised I forgot to explain my 'I Dream of a Lifestyle Involving Many Cocktail Dresses' series. Contrary to the timing, the series is not specificly here just because it's party season. It's here because I've been so inspired by Gossip Girl. If you haven't watched the oh-so-addictive Gossip Girl yet, basically, a fabulous event happens every episode and all the gorgeous characters are dressed amazingly -both girls and guys. (I loved Blair's birthday party: the clothes, the venue, the atmosphere!) Even in episodes that don't have parties, they're all still dressed fashionably.

So anyways, before I feature more dresses and accessories that I like, (such as in my post on Marc dresses last week), I have questions about some dresses. To start off with: backless dresses. I've been seeing a lot of backless dresses online and in high street stores recently, with the revival of a few 80's trends and racer back dresses.

I'm a bit confused how we're supposed to wear them. Obviously wearing no bras is the logical solution. Or perhaps some people would just let their bra show. But honestly, I do not feel comfortable at all even at the thought of not wearing a bra. I guess I'll just have to avoid all backless dresses. Sigh, it's such a pity. I really like some of the dresses that have this problem (like this grey studded dress above.)

How comfortable are you with backless dresses? And how do you wear it?

Wish List

1er Décembre....
Mon trés cher Père Noël...j'ai affuté mon plus beau crayon, pour établir ma wish list de noël, ma liste n'est pas exhaustive, à votre guise d'en rajouter les pièces de votre choix. Je ne vous demande pas la lune, juste quelques basics, indispensables pour toutes modeuses qui se respectent...

Sac Hermès Birkin :



Indispensable pour transporter toujours avec moi...justement l'indispensable...Un accessoire qui fera le bonheur de son proporiétaire, certes mais aussi le bonheur de son homme, qui pourra se lester aisément de tous ses papiers, portes feuilles etc qui déforment toujours les poches des vestes de ces messieurs. Sans compter le bonheur de ma petite Lolita, sucettes, jouets, petits gateaux, rien ne sera plus oublié, j'en fait ici le serment.

Montre Rolex Submariner :




Et même si j'adore ma Zadig et Voltaire...deux montres au poignet est une tendace à suivre, quel intérêt???Une évidence mon cher, l'une sera à l'heure de Paris et l'autre à l'heure de New York....tellement plus pratique !!



Garde robe Burberry Prorsum :



Si, Cher Père Noël, vous êtes un lecteur assidu de mon blog...vous connaissez mes velléités pour cette marque...je sais...j'exagère un peu...mais je vous assure j'ai passé des heures à scruter et re-srcuter la collection...j'aime tout. Et puis en y réfléchissant, votre temps est précieux, alors autant tout emporter dans la hotte.

Veste CHANEL vintage :

Car son absence dans ma garde robe...me fait cruellement défaut.


Une paire de Louboutin :


C'est bien beau d'en faire un post, si je n'en ai pas moi-même une paire...c'est un manque de professionalisme terrible auquel je souhaite remédier trés rapidement.




Une malle Vuitton :

Tellement pratique...encore un petit basic en matière d'accessoire, mais indispensable pour toutes voyageuses classes et modeuses.









Un tour du monde en first class :

Forcément, qui dit malle Vuitton, implique inévitablement voyage en first class, voyager en classe économique ferait tellement mauvais effet, on soupconnerait même votre malle de mauvaise copie...rien que l'idée me fait rougir de honte....
Et quitte à voyager en first en class, autant en profiter pour faire le tour du monde.

De beaux bijoux :



Cela va de soit, un noël sans bijou...c'est comme un été sans soleil, cela n'a aucun sens et surtout nuit gravement à l'équilibre mental. Et je n'y peux rien, si cette année la tendance est aux bijoux XXL....


















Une Carte American Express Platinium :

Avoir dans mon porte feuille toutes les gold du monde..ne valent en rien l'Amex platinium. Une seule suffit et tout vous sourit !!

Voilà, trés Cher Père Noël, y a plus qu'à chausser vos Moon boots, siglés de préférence...cela fera plus chic dans le conduit de ma cheminée et enfourner la scelle (Hermès...cela va de soit) de votre traineau. Bien entendu je me tiens à votre entière disposition pour tous renseignements complémentaires.
Et puis tout de même....une dernière petite chose....j'accepterai volontiers...que vous oubliez toute ma "wish liste" et qu'en échange vous versiez dans la cheminée de chaque foyer, des flocons d'amour, de paix et de bonheur...
