James Bond Girl

· Fashion

I have always loved Casio watches: you can find proof of that by looking at pictures posted when this blog was just starting out. First came the Calculator DataBank (that you don’t see all that much anymore because, lazy as I am, I didn’t bother changing the battery yet) followed by a smaller silver one, easier to wear with my more feminine outfits.

 

Code Name GMA-S110GD-2AER

This season, Casio launched the G-SHOCK S-Series: a real James Bond Girl watch.

It’s more suited to our slender wrists, as the dial is more discreet in size compared to the traditional G-SHOCK. It does however keep all its original characteristics (impact resistance, timer, alarm, automatic lighting when you rotate your wrist (it’s magic!), water resistance (20 bars) (=in case aliens lock me up in a huge water-filled pressure cooker).

I was given the opportunity to choose my favorite piece in the collection, and after hesistating for quite some time between the flowery and the camouflage design, I finally opted for the sporty elegance of this bronze colored watch with an electric blue dial.

 

My “SHOCK” and chic look

I created an outfit in the same shades as the dial (even if I think my new jewellery/toy will go well with other casual-chic outfits of various hues and tones).

I like that it’s geeky touch gives my outfit a 90s streetwear vibe, while still keeping it elegant: it’s the ideal compromise! (English translation by Bleu Marine)

5 ways to wear large jeans

· Fashion, Illustration

New episode of the “5 ways to wear…” series! After presenting the multiple possible ways to wear a Polka dot jacket, leather pants, let’s turn our intention to the large jeans, that I have qualified so far as ‘unidentified’ but I feel like now you recognize its shape (high-waisted, straight legs 7/8 cut).

As weird as it sounds, it goes along with everything: that is why it was pretty easy to create 5 looks! It can be feminine, casual, sophisticated: a useful flexibility when you are hesitating in front of your wardrobe.

 

Which one is your favorite look ?

Last time I had asked you to choose your favorite outfit: let’s see today which look is the most-liked: the one that will get the highest number of votes will be added to the changing Tokyobibi you see on my sidebar. As for me, I already decided but I won’t say anything!

Dungarees of the fields

· Fashion

This week will definitely be a “dungarees” week because I move on with a second look in this theme but in a more relaxed look, more “dungarees of the fields” if you want… (fields is a big word because I wore this outfit to take a stroll in the jardin d’acclimatation).

The best thing about dungarees, is really the comfort (except when we have to do a little pit stop “you know where”).
But you still need to make sure you feminise it a little (more than the previous that was more chic) so you can avoid to be asked if the painting job for your little one’s bedroom is going well.

So proceed with extreme caution, lovely ladies… (English translation by TradIsa)
