Spring

April 20, 2017

I love spring because it brings so much life and happiness, wild flowers are blooming everywhere, the birds sing and the landscapes become colorful! (I would like to precise I am not writing this when being drunk although I seem overenthusiastic) You know summer is coming soon and this is a bit like a Saturday feeling: you are enjoying your day and you know there is one more day left! Spring has a special smell here with all the blooming lemon trees, orange trees and jasmines that spread an addictive perfume in the cities and countryside. That sunny afternoon I was wearing an outfit with a gradation of cold colors that I felt were matching good together. I mixed a very soft sweater in an old grey color with a blue mom jean and some grey glitter shoes that really remind me the Cinderella shoes! Ok they are not made of crystal but they really make me feel like I am a princess 🙂 Finally this outfit just represents all the happiness that spring brings to me! And the best = Summer is still coming!  What is your favorite season? Bisous, Melissa ♡

Black and rock vibes

April 4, 2017

The sun is here, bringing some summer colors and it feels the beach season is getting very close. We could not resist having a walk along the coast and smell the iodized wind and eat a fat Burger King watching the waves.  Today some rock vibes with an outfit having different shades of black. I think the accessories are key here and these very rock n roll studded boots are so cool to spice up this look. Also to contrast a bit this black outfit I like the idea to put a red scarf in the hair that matches with red lips and add a kind of pin up touch (although my workmate use to call me 2pac when I put this scarf in the hair;) ).

Over-the-knee

over the knee boots outfit

How to wear over the knee heeled boots without looking like a prostitute? That is the question of the day I am trying to answer to with this new outfit. I could not resist to these sexy but comfy over the knee boots that were looking at me saying “buy me, buy me and I will spice up your winter looks!”. Okay girls come home! After wondering and testing how could I wear them without looking vulgar and see cars stopping in the street to ask for my price… I think these kind of boots can match very good with an oversized sweater dress that you can see on this shooting or on a black slim with an oversized sweater or shirt. I already wore today’s look at work without chocking anyone so I guess the mission is accomplished 🙂 Bisous, Melissa ♡

leather legging

Lately something totally crazy and unbelievable happened in the place where I live: it has been raining a lot and we even had some snow! Ok you think that I am exaggerating I guess, but you have to know that when it rains in the Costa Blanca or in the Costa Calida, children are allowed not to go to school! Also with the rain, my team lunch outside and some dinners with friends got suddenly cancelled, the home delivery service of the restaurants are not operative and my yoga teacher congratulated and applauded me for coming to the class saying I deserve a medal! ahahah

With the rain, the arid landscape suddenly changed of color to turn into a phosphorescent Irish green! Yes I promise these pictures have no filter! I really like the contrast of the colors between this no-colored outfit and the unreal green landscape. I think black and white outfits are always cool and suit everybody. That day was not really cold to wear a coat so I just did the “onion trick” which consists in adding multiple layers of back and white tops to keep warm. I am also having on a sexy and black leather legging with new Nikes that I call my “mermaid shoes” because they have a little glitter touch at the back. This look is quite casual but you can rock at night if you change the Nike snickers for some black pumps… and remove one of the onion layer 🙂 Bisous, Melissa ♡

July 28, 2016
boho wedding outfit

Holidays are always too short! Have you ever felt you needed some extra holidays to rest from your holidays that just ended (life is hard)? Well this is exactly what I felt after my crazy holidays in France where I attended to 2 birthdays and 2 weddings in just 10 days. I don’t know what is the wedding culture in your country but in France weddings can last 3 days! You can have a kind of warm-up party the day before with all the friends, then the wedding party accompanied with a river of champagne can start from 3 pm until the sunrise and because we just can’t get enough, the next day we often meet again for an alcoholic brunch! Ok don’t think I am complaining, I really think weddings are the coolest parties ever invented! I wore this boho wedding outfit for a beautiful ceremony that took place in the French Southern countryside that really reminded me some paintings of van Gogh. In many weddings it is usual that people wear all kind of crazy hats because it is an awesome opportunity to have fun wearing some accessories that you would never dare to wear in your day-to-day life. Personally I love wearing flower crowns to spice up a style when I feel lazy to put make-up, clean and style my hair or go to the hairdresser. The flower crown and lipstick are just enough! By the way all my apologies for the bad quality of these pictures, I forgot to charge my camera (shit happens) so we just took them with an iPhone 6.

all white outfit

All white styles are not only for weddings! I’m really a fan of colored looks for the summer but I love this all white outfit to spend the day at the beach. It is a perfect and strategic style to highlight a tanned skin and even an aspirin skin color like mine 🙂 The only problem about wearing an all white outfit is that it’s getting dirty really fast when you don’t know how to eat or drink properly. If you are a Bridget Jones like me and want to avoid a massacre with this summer outfit, I’ve got an advice for you: you should definitely avoid eating a plate of spaghetti bolognese that day ! (I already made that mistake ahah). But the great news is that you can totally go for a cup of champagne or white wine!  Cheers! Bisous, Melissa ♡

Off the shoulder

June 17, 2016

Thanks to the off the shoulder top, we have a good reason to leave our bra in the closet and free our shoulders for this summer! More seriously, this trend doesn’t date from yesterday and is definitely back this year! Also called bardot top, it became an iconic piece in the 60s because it was one of the emblematic piece wore by the actress Brigitte Bardot who was a real icon and sex-symbol. So the off the shoulder top is sexy, boho, comfy and light to wear when the heat rises. Definitely a cool and irresistible tendency. However be very careful, this piece can become totally dangerous if it is a crop top especially on windy days and when you have no bra! On these pictures taken during one of the rare windy and cloudy days we have on the Spanish riviera, I was really happy that this off the shoulder top had a second layer that was elastic to avoid a huge shameful moment! This is the only risky experience I had with my off the shoulder top, otherwise it’s pretty cool and easy to wear with everything such as a denim pant or maxi skirt. So do you want to let your shoulders breath the fresh air? Bisous, Melissa ♡

One-piece swimsuit

May 31, 2016

The one-piece swimsuit is back this summer! Personally the time I used to wear a monokini dates from my childhood and until recently; I used to think that this kind of swimming-suit was for children, to practice sport or for grandmas! But actually you can find so many one-piece swimsuits that have a very cool and sexy design that it has become an irresistible item to go to the beach. So I felt like to change from the usual mini bikini and embrace a new model that can also be sensual and totally crushed on this swimsuit from Oysho! I have to confess that one of the reason why I like it is that it is slightly padded so there is no way all the beach can see my tits after a bath! After re-experimenting the strange feeling to put on my childhood swimming-suit, I think it is stylish but not always practical to wear it! In fact, it can be worn by everybody but should be not being worn in all circumstances. To have style and avoid uncomfortable situations, here are the best and the worst about the one-piece swimsuit!

The Best:

  • Perfect to hide a scar or love handle so we can go for an additional mojito on the beach
  • To swim like a real mermaid through the waves without loosing your swimming suit and shocking the children
  • You are saving money since you need to put less solar cream

The Worst:

  • When you wear it under your clothes and need to go to the toilet…
  • To suntan unless you wan to win the trophy for having the dumbest suntan in your camping!
  • If you do not want to look like Paris Hilton, avoid the trikini or bring your chihuahua to the beach with you!

Boho dress

May 11, 2016

Have you also wished to be a sexy witch (not a sexy bitch) with cool magic powers? If you were a fan too of the movie “the craft” you may like maxi boho dresses as much as me 🙂 Although maxi dresses are cool because they have so much style and you don’t need to be perfectly shaved (ahaha come on admit it), I think they are not that easy to wear. It’s unfair but they look better on tall girls and the length always needs to be readjusted if do not want to sweep the floor with your dress! Anyway if you are not the tallest girl of the world there are shorter boho dresses that are very nice too. So I used to joke about this boho chic outfit calling it my “witch style” because I have on a maxi boho dress from Asos that is all black with white little stars and I wear it with back boots, a black floppy hat and a multirow necklace. Regarding the beauty look, I wanted to add a touch of color so I rather highlighted the lips with an orange lipstick. Oh but where is my broom you may wonder? I replaced it for a lovely white cat. More cute right? Bisous, Melissa ♡
