New // Isabel Marant Renell Jeans

My first Isabel Marant-item is a fact. While on a shopping trip to Antwerp with my boyfriend, I managed to get my hands on the Isabel Marant Renell Jeans, also known as the Navajo pants. They're from the Fall/Winter 2011/2012-collection and are those type of jeans you either love or hate -- I've loved them ever since I saw them all over Fashion Week.

I found them at the Graanmarkt 13 store and I know I would've regretted it if I didn't buy them, especially since they were the last pair in store. The fact that I got them at a 20 % discount makes it even better. I can't wait to wear them and have already been brainstorming on an outfit. I love them in white too, but since I rarely wear white (and they didn't have them at the store anymore), I decided to go for my beloved black. I advise you to visit the Graanmarkt 13 store if you're in Antwerp. Not only do they have the best items and brands, but the girls working there are also very helpful.

My boyfriend likes the pants too, which kinda took me by surprise. Well, I won't complain about that matter. ;)

So, what do you think?

Tell me your thoughts in the comment box below. Can't wait to hear them. :)

P.S.: The pictures were taken when it was dark outside, so I had to use the flash (which I usually never use, since I hate 'flash-pictures'). I just couldn't wait to show you the pants. #blush

Personal // Christmas

While wishing you a Merry Christmas in advance in my previous post, I am now wishing you a belated Merry Christmas! I hope you all had an amazing time with your loved ones and I wish you all the best in the world.

My Christmas consisted out of family, friends and TONS of food -- That's what you get when you come from an Italian family. A couple of days ago, I was invited to a friend's Christmas party, which meant I got to spend the night with some of my closest friends accompanied by tons of food (again).
That's me after dinner in the first picture -- Totally tired of eating and resting to let everything sink in.

I wanted to show you some pictures of the Christmas party, ft. three of my closest friends. There are  other friends worth mentioning too, though. Friends who were at the party and of which I didn't  manage to take a picture and friends who were not there, but whom I still keep close in my heart. I'm going to start with them first:

Sabrina: My best friend since high school. She and I are the perfect example of the fact that you don't have to see or hear each other every day to know that you can count on each other, no matter what.

Hille: She's been there for me in some critical moments. We've been through so much together, I couldn't live without her.

Giovanna: The hostess of the Christmas party and someone who's become a close friend over a short amount of time. We've known each other since high school, but we never really hung out together -- Until a couple of months ago. I'm so happy that I got to know her better.

I feel blessed to have such amazing friends and I hope that you also have those few close friends of which you know they will always be there for you (and vice versa, of course).

Ready to see the faces of my other three close friends?

Detail // Feather

I got inspired by one of my all time favorite musicians for this detail: Steven Tyler from Aerosmith.

He's well known for wearing feather earrings, feather extensions and God knows what else and I've been kinda digging it for a long time.

I've been on the search for 'the perfect pair of feather earrings' (Djeez, what a description) and after quite a long search, I found these red ones. What I like most of the combo with my long hair is that the feather comes peeking out once in a while and isn't visible all the time. It's funny to see people look at your right ear while they're talking to you and see them think: "What the hell is THAT?" 

Even though I was obliged to buy them in pairs, I only wear one earring. Don't ask me why, I just think it's more fun. I'm still looking for some feather extensions and my mom is trying to talk me out of it, saying I'll "look like a chicken" -- She already knows I won't listen, though. Sorry, mom!

To see my beloved Steven Tyler rocking his feathers, just Google 'Steven Tyler feathers' and you'll get a gazillion pictures.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas in advance, hoping you'll all get to spend it with your loved ones.

Fashion News // Alice Dellal for Chanel

Pictures: wwd.com & fashioncopious.typepad.com

Yes, yes, yes! One of my favorite IT-girls ever, Alice Dellal, will be the new face of the Boy Chanel handbag collection. I literally can not wait to see the results of the campaign starring the tattooed and pierced Brazilian model, which is expected to launch in March next year.

As a sign of 'confirmation', a sneak peek appeared on the Internet, showing Alice Dellal being photographed by Karl Lagerfeld. Dellal, former model for Mango and Agent Provocateur, is seen in a girly ensemble, which is a nice change from her leather, ripped tights and spiked filled outfits.

Alice, who has Charlotte Casiraghi from Monaco as her sister-in-law (how cool is that?), was my inspiration to shave a part of my hair. You can see the result here. I love how Chanel always manages to find a balance in being young and edgy, but still classy.

What do you think of Lagerfeld's choice?

Hit or miss?

P.S.: I'd like to thank one of my favorite stores, the SN3, for personally tweeting me the news on Twitter. So sweet!
