It's an instagram life #20 - what a day :)

This week has been great and I even had a good Friday the 13th. Thursday stands out slightly and it's definitely the most related to this blog. I started the day with a press breakfast with Tatty Devine and had my name necklace made right in front of my eyes. I went for pink perplex with gold chain - very me. It's my new favourite accessory. How pretty does it look with my favourite flowers?
After I went to see the lovely Push PR girls at their Christmas press day. It looked so wonderful in there, it really got me into Christmas spirit. Look out for a proper post next week.

The afternoon was just as exciting. I got to meet few of my icons, including Dean and Dan of Dsquared2. Read all about it here.
After I went to see the people from Glam Media for some cocktail tasting and catching up with some of my favourite bloggers. The cocktail in question was Martini Royale - Martini Bianco with Prosecco, mint and some lime - yummy!
Have a stylish day.

Meeting the icons

Yesterday I had a great day full of fantastic appointmens and events. I will write more about the other ones next time, but for today let's concentrate on attending of announcing the winner of the International Woolmark Prize European Award. See bellow Christian Winjants with one of his winning designs and also the official photo of the judges: Dean and Dan of Dsquared2, Alber Elbaz (Lanvin), Tim blanks (style.com), Alexandra Schulman (Vogue UK), Giles Deacon and Christine Arp (Vogue Germany). I apologise for the quality of my pictures as my camera is broken..

It was such an honour to be part of this event and be in the same room as many of my icons! I am the biggest fan of Lanvin's Alber Elbaz and now I love him even more as a person, because he was very funny a generally lovely. He announced the winner and I was hoping to have a photo taken with him but he was busy so I asked Dean and Dan of Dsquared2 instead, who were lovely too.
We sipped champagne and nibbled on canapés and it was a great afternoon.
I wore another sale score from Zara (skirt) and a top from Nelly. Outfit post coming soon.
Have a stylish day.

A short story

Versace

It was during Milan Fashion Week whilst watching the Versace show live stream, that I first decided I need to get myself a pair of shorts. They have become such a wardrobe staple, there's really no excuse not to one at least a pair. And with the fact that the possibilities are endless when it comes to shorts, I was hooked. They are so easy to dress up or down according to your needs, they are really a no-brainer.
So I started paying more attention to shorts during Paris Fashion Week, to check out the cool Parisian options. You can go for totally casual look as seen at Dsquared2 or Isabel Marant, smart casual with Dries Van Noten (the printed ones are a must have), I absolutely love the Chloe way and Givenchy version seems more luxurious, perfect for nights out. And if you're brave enough why not pick futuristic hot pants ala Balenciaga. Love the idea of shorts? Well there's plenty more options so I'm sure there is something for everyone. Let me know your favourite type.
Have a stylish day.
