Oh my god! The new collection from New Look is just.. awesome! It has an edgy look, with print pants and loose sweaters and shirts. Collars, spikes and studs, you see it all. High heels with an attitude, spikey rings and necklaces. New Look also has a lingerie-collection that is very feminine. Something else they started is make-up and such as nail polish, fake eyelashes, etc.
The location for the showroom was pretty cool as well, and so beautiful. It was located in a poolhouse, with inside pool. Unfortunately, we didn't know about the pool, so no bikinis, no using the pool. We did get to meet other lovely bloggers and stayed talking, drinking - no, not only champagne - and eating for quite a while. Other people we met were two sweet British co-workers from New look, Andrea Logan and Lucy Kalus. They were both so sweet! And for once, I could talk English with native speakers and not just with
Shanah. People look weird at us when we do that. In September, we're going shopping. Hardcore. I need everything.
Enough said, here's a little peek, more pictures on
Facebook. Damn it was hard choosing pictures.
I like to get a drink now and then, for instance during the press days or at home while eating some chips and stuff. Most of the time, it's bubbles. I love bubbles, it's fresh and I love the taste, but damn, that one drink over the line hits you when it's too late. I can't hold my liquor so I get tipsy after three glasses most of the time. Enough said about me not being good at drinking.
Moët Ice Imperial is the first champagne specially designed to be drunk with ice. Ice? Yes! You read this correctly. Thanks to the special formula, the champagne with the ice cubes keeps the taste longer intact and it stays fresh longer. Most champagnes tend to lose their bubbles when they heat up, Ice Imperial doesn't.
There were also some extra's. First, you could add flavours into your glass of champagne: lime, mint or strawberries. After a few minutes, your champagne tasted fresher (with mint or lime) or sweeter (with strawberries). Second, there was an app for Moët Ice Imperial. You just took a picture and then you could add a special filter, kind off like Instagram, but with other filters.
I have said about everything I wanted, if there are any questions, just ask and I'll reply asap :)
Jean Touitou organized a little party for his brand. The Brussels store of A.P.C. blew it's first candle and that had to be celebrated! The party was quite sober with drinks, little snacks, some music and ofcourse lots of people, but tthat completely fits the French brand's code. The store is designed by architect Laurent Deroo, who has worked with the brand for ten years. The Brussels store is quite unique, as it has a little backyard and a very cool wavy wooden ceiling. A little extra: A.P.C. exists 25 years this year and everybody has to know. There will be events all around to world, starting in Tokyo and ending in Paris, where it all started, with a big ass party later this year.
To be very honest, I didn't quite like the women's clothes that were in the store that day. But I absolutely loved the men's collection! I want my next boyfriend to wear clothes like that, haha. So, here are some snapshots from that rainy evening. Also to be found on
Facebook.
Salvatore Ferragamo? To be honest, I had no idea what I could expect in the beautiful suite of the Amigo hotel where some items were showed for next season. I did Google it so I did know it was about fancy shoes and bags - like the iconic Sophia bag and the Marilyn Monroe shoes. I was a bit surprised to see clothes, my quick Google-search didn't show this, but there were some nice items. Unfortunately they didn't catch on my camera - yes, I suck at taking pics.
As I quite love fancy things, I fell for some pieces in the showroom or more showsuite. The trip hurt my feet when I got home, my shoes were fancy but the cobble stones weren't. But, what the heck, it was worth it. These are some of my favorite pieces shown, other pictures to be found on
Facebook.
