Random // Packing

Hi guys!

I'm leaving for Paris Fashion Week tomorrow, where I'll attend the Showroom Belgium-event. 
Twelve upcoming Belgian designers will present their collections in Paris and I'm 
very excited, but above all curious, to see what Belgium's new talent has in store 
for us.

Even if I'm only going one day - I have a family reunion party on Saturday - I'm 
going crazy on what to take with me! Here's a sneak peek on the accessories I'm 
thinking about bringing with me:

My Chanel-bag will come with me for sure, since Paris is the place where Coco 
Chanel started her empire. I'm also bringing my BCBG Max Azria-clutch, just in 
case I change my mind. (1st picture)

And then we have the shoes... Throughout the day, I'm planning to wear the 
black River Island-wedges on the right. They're comfortable, yet not too common 
for Fashion Week. For the evening, I'm still doubting between the black peep toe 
ankle boots from Mango or my Mary Janes by Versace. (2nd picture)

And last but not least, my Galliano-shirt. I hope the weather will allow me to 
wear it throughout the day, since the fabric is thin and it leaves part of my back 
uncovered. I have a second (yet non-Galliano) shirt, that will save me if I can't 
wear this one. (3rd picture)

I don't approve what John Galliano said at all, but it is obvious he has some great 
issues and (drinking) problems. He definitely needs some professional help, and I 
think it's very sad that people are turning his back on him now that he needs our 
support the most. It's obvious he was very intoxicated on the video and I think the 
video is just a small part of something bigger -- Something we don't know of. 
He did great things for Dior, and honestly? I think they're making a big mistake by 
firing him, even if I can understand their point of view too. 
But then again, I'm just a tiny fashion blogger who wants to show her love and 
support for this genius (who just had to be a teeny tiny bit smarter...)

I'd love to hear your opinions on this matter, though.
Spill it out!

The Color Purple

Channeling my inner Oprah with the title of this post, but it was the first thing 

that popped up my mind when I noticed all of the purple items my sister and I own. 

Above, my Versace shoes, which only appeared on the blog once and which I'll have 

to wear more often.

Shark Attack Talks... // Designer Clothes Bad For Our Health?

I found an article on the website of the Dutch Grazia, stating that designer clothes' quality is very bad and that they even might be bad for our health. Chinese investigators say that clothes of Versace, Hermès, Paul & Shark, Hugo Boss, Dolce & Gabbana (and others) contain formaldehyde, a substance that might cause skin and eye irritations, allergies and even cancer.

Up 'till now, I never had any problems with any of my 'more expensive' clothes, so I'll keep wearing them. :)

Here are some pictures of one of my favourite D&G collections, the Fall 2009 RTW collection. I made a post about the collection once. I don't know about the bad substances, but the clothes don't seem of bad quality to me.

What do you think?

Outfit // New Shoes

My sister and I were shopping when I saw these Versace shoes. I'd seen them a couple of times before, but I wasn't too sure about them. I was afraid I would never wear them because of the colour and print.

As I used to do before, I entered the Versace store to look at them once again. I now noticed that they were being sold at a very good price, so I decided that it was some kind of sign and I bought them. I must admit that they are a bit painful to walk in, but beauty is pain, right?
