The tuxedo dress

Wed 21 Jan, 2015 · Fashion

As you know, my style tends to be more relaxed than sophisticated but I try my best to find more elegant outfits that could save my life, so let’s say: for Christmas or New Year’s Eve (to avoid thinking too much about it the week before), for parties (same reason) or for weddings (still the same reasoning).

It’s all about accessories but I have a feeling that this tuxedo dress will be useful in the future.

The cap

Mon 19 Jan, 2015 · Fashion

In the headwear family….after the hat and the beanie, here’s a new member: the cap! I loved wearing those during my middle school years, but let’s say the outfit wasn’t quite the same…think Adidas® track suit (with the zipper open all the way to the calf of course) embroidered Naf Naf® sweatshirt, Acne®-full face … do you get the picture?

Now I like my cap more chic, minimalist and with no logos, and I enjoy pairing it with the usual masculine-feminine looks I love. (English translation by Bleu Marine)

Chocolate box Olympia Le-Tan for Pierre Marcolini

If you are dyslexic, this article is going to confuse a lot more. Indeed, for a while, I admit that I needed a thinking pause to dissociate the creations of Charlotte Olympia and those of Olympia Le-Tan. Both English, which doesn’t help!

Anyhow, I appreciate the originality of those two designers: one is well know for her hand stitched book clutch bags, the other, for her off the wall and fun accessories (I broke the bank for her phone bag that I consider an art object that I never tire of admiring). Both have kept their children’s spirit intact without compromising on the elegance and that’s what I like.

So I decided to regroup in a drawing the accessories that I like the most of the two brands. But if I had to make a choice between the “Olympias” I would lean more towards Charlotte…and what about you? (English translation by TradIsa)
