Even if with the Marie Kondo method I’m able to get rid of a number of things, there are some objects or clothes for which I’m still in doubt as to if I should be saying good-bye to them or not.

 

Billy, the return

If you’ve been following this blog since 2009 (can’t believe we’ll be celebrating the blog’s 10th birthday next year, it’s crazy!), you’ll know this Billy bag and the deceptions I went through with it, color-wise.

From blue it turned green-ish and in 2016, the color isn’t exactly great. I tried dyeing it, but the dye didn’t stay. I almost put it up for sale, but ended up keeping it. It’s not really beautiful, but it’s pretty practical.

So here’s a look to show you “how to wear a tatty bag” : I think it’s a first! haha! I hope you’ll tolerate this good ol’ bag that’s trying to eke out a life against the odds. (English translation by Marine)

Thanks Lili for the pictures <3

Matching friends

In the continuity of my previous post about the combo pink/grey/white, I found this trend during my Pinterest peregrinations.

 

Similar look

In South Korea (and maybe somewhere else?), the “Similar look” (extension of the “Twin look” with many people) is something that groups of friends love doing (so far I only found pictures with only girls but we can imagine the same with boys & girls).

Basically, people must wear the same color tones as their friends when going out for a drink, for a walk, etc. The local Girl bands must influence this trend a lot.

 

Perfect match !

I must admit that it happens sometimes with my friends (without prior consultation of course! haha!) but it’s never premeditated, or only when we go to a special event, just for fun.

The benefit of this discovery, is the ability to admire only with one picture a dozen of looks with the same color harmony, which is very inspiring.

On the other side, if this trend happens to be real (I’ve never seen that in the streets of Seoul), I just hope these friends only follow this trend occasionally, otherwise, how alienating !

Over here, the tendency is rather toward uniqueness and own personality (even though with blogs or Instagram, we tend somehow to be all clones, me included) but is it something you would like seeing in France?

On my side, I’m divided between fascination (hello Control Freak) and a certain fear… (English translation by Quiterie)

Finally it’s Spring !

· Fashion

Yesterday, we finally had a beautiful spring day, I hope you enjoyed it!

It was the occasion to wear my favourite Spring chromatic: pink-grey-white. I still find it modern and refreshing without being too girlish.

It was also the first time to wear these new sunglasses which are not particularly fitting the shape of my face (butterfly or square shapes are usually more appropriate) but I like the quirky “Iris Apfel” rendering it can give: let’s have a bit of fun, it’s Spring!
