Lace top

April 7, 2016
Lace top

The lace top is the new tee-shirt of this season, people say. I think it is a cool item to get a casual but sexy outfit. However on these pictures taken when walking in Saint-Louis, I guess the holiday mood inspired me a rebel outfit that day. I felt like to wear everything that is frowned upon at the office to have a total freedom feeling. Perhaps I was too free because I even decided to free my nipples ahahah! Ok I mean I had no bra when wearing this black lace top from Zara and I loved it 🙂 As a black lace top cannot be a fashion faux-pas and matches with everything, I have on a faded&destroyed boyfriend jean and golden Birkenstock that are soooo comfy and perfect to walk all day long. And you, would you wear your lace top with or without bra? Let me know what you think about this street style in the comments! Bisous, Melissa ♡

Parka street style

March 11, 2016
parka

The parka is a basic must-have so comfy and it brings a bit of color to winter time. If you are tired to wear a black coat, it is a good alternative to style your outfit effortless. It is also a good windproof and a good coat to be protected from the cold. How to choose it ? Personally I prefer the ageless version in kaki because it goes with everything, and I like when it has a good length, a cute faux-fur hood and a lot of pockets everywhere! Having many pockets is cool because you can forget stuffs there and find them some weeks later and it is like a christmas feeling haha:) On these very grey pictures taken in Paris, I am wearing a kaki parka from Asos and I love it! It can be worn in a feminine way thanks to a thin string that tighten the waist. But the very cool thing is its detachable part that you can unbutton to transform it into an army jacket, ideal for a mid-season wear. As it was a F*** freezing day, I wore it on a black slim with some faux-fur boots and a chunky headband. What do you the think about this winter outfit? Bisous, Melissa ♡

Lumberjack style

February 8, 2016

I think that the lumberjack shirt is really cool to wear in winter and style an outfit effortless. On theses pictures taken in the amazing park Guell in Barcelona, I am wearing the basic red plaid shirt that the Canadian woodcutters have on (at least I imagine them like this in my dreams haha;) with a black slim, black over-the-knee boots and a black floppy hat because it was quite raining that day. Finally a lumberjack shirt is a timeless basic that is so comfy and can be worn in many other different ways:

  • Rock: with a perfecto, a black legging and boots
  • Classic: can be undone with a tee shirt underneath, with a denim and camel boots
  • Boho: with a flare denim and a headband
  • Preppy: with a black slim, high-heels or moccasins and you can even wear an oversized necklace with it

What is you fav way to wear it? Bisous, Melissa

How to wear overalls

January 15, 2016
overalls

Overalls are actually very trendy but it is not really easy to wear them without looking like a little girl of 5 years old;) However I think there are some very cool ways to wear them. Last week end, we went to have a walk and see the beautiful sunset in the paradise area of Calblanque. It is a protected and wild beach, with tandoori color sand and little paths through rosemary bushes and palm trees. So that day I felt like to wear faded and destroyed boyfriend overalls with a simple sailor sweater and black sneakers to walk easily into the wild. About the beauty look, I think it is better to wear a light make up with this kind of outfit and rather highlight the lips and nails. You know I am a orange lipstick lover and I feel it matches well with the denim color.  However a red lipstick could be very feminine and the pink  totally rocks!

In fact according to the place, mood and weather there are plenty of possibilities to wear overalls. Here are some of my favorite ideas to style it:

  • Black & white: black leather overalls with a simple white tee-shirt or shirt and black pumps is a hyper sexy outfit !
  • Total white: white overalls with a white top and nude high eels is very elegant and freshY so fresh!
  • Denim overalls: can be very sexy with sneakers, a crop top and no bra (for the ladies that have little tits). You can also wear them half undone for a cooler attitude. For a more casual outfit, you can even wear them with a beige trench and ballerinas.
  • Overall dress or short: they are a nice alternative and can be easily wore in many colors. I really love the 70’s touch of the suede button front dress with a black turtle neck.

If you have other ideas, I would love to discover them in the comments:) Bisous, Melissa♥

Christmas jumper

December 25, 2015

I love so much christmas, it’s atmosphere, the christmas lights, the christmas tree, the christmas songs (♫ laaaaaaast christmas I gave you my heaaaaaaart ♪), and obviously the christmas jumpers! I am quite collecting them since 2 years ago and I guess I was a little bit influenced by the movie Bridget Jones:) So for this Christmas,  I decided to style my new christmas jumper (that my mum was also wearing the same day;) with a ’70s-inspired outfit, with a button-front skirt, black knee high boots and a half-up crown braid. How would you wear your christmas jumper? Bisous, Melissa♥

Indian vibes

December 11, 2015

Hello! After 2 weeks waiting,  I finally received my pack from Asos and opened it with the impatience of a child in front of christmas gifts;) I could not resist to buy on promo this poncho with a Peruvian style knowing it could be a Big mistake. When I opened the pack, I did not know if I really liked it! Yeah the exercice of the poncho is not easy and you can quickly look like a woman from the machu-picchu! After spending 30 min trying on this crazy piece with different pants and shoes I felt it was better to go for a simple back slim, black top and pumps. However I thought it was cool to accessorize it a little brown belt, some necklaces and a one side african braid. Finally I love wearing this piece because I feel so comfortable like if I still had my sofa plaid on me ahah! So yeah or nah to the poncho? Bisous, Melissa ♥

Denim is the new black

November 27, 2015

Hi! I have tested the total denim outfit and I did not even feel like a cowgirl! I know it is very risky but that morning, I woke up with the inspiration to mix 2 denim colors: a faded and destroyed boyfriend jean with a darker denim shirt that is knotted. To avoid the texas ranker style, I think it is cool to play with some accesories to spice up the look: bag, belt, hairband, sunglasses, shoes etc. Here I decided to go for a mini black purse and black pump with some rock details. However some colored or leopard pump could also bring a sexy feel or nice sneakers could add a streetwear touch.  I also like to highlight this style with a flashy lipstick and nail color. Here I was in pink mood but red or orange could be really cool as well. And you, how would you wear the total denim look? Bisous, Melissa

Wedding in La Manga

November 13, 2015

Hello! Have you ever been to a wedding on the beach? Last week-end I went to my first ceremony on the beach of La Manga (Spain) and it really rocks! I did not really know what wedding outfit I could wear and I started to think about the weddings on the beach in American movies where everybody is dressed in white, walking bare foot in the sand and having a great white smile. But here it was clearly not a “total white” wedding and I really did not want to piss off the bride wearing also a white dress 🙂 So I finally decided to wear a bohemian style blue dress. To go with the dress, I did a romantic braided hairstyle and added some blue flowers that I found stole in the garden in from of my building. Yes my behavior was not as elegant as my style, sorry! To break this so blue and sentimental wedding style, I wore orange lips that matched with my orange shoes and nails. I hope you like it. And you, what wedding outfit would you have wore for a ceremony on the beach? Bisous, Melissa ♥

Last summer moments in Alicante

October 30, 2015

Hi! Today I propose you an outfit that just made my summer: a playsuit American Apparel. I really love wearing playsuits because I can get dressed in just 10 sec when I am in a hurry and have a very cool style effortless. Allehuiahhhhhh This is a perfect strategy because I am not really a morning person so I am in a hurry almost every mornings 😉 When I first saw this playsuit on the website, I was not totally convinced but finally I think it really rocks if you primp it with red nails, a red lipstick and even with a red hairband. We took these photos when walking in Alicante with my mum at the end of the summer. Let me know what you think about it! Bisous, Melissa ♥
