Soo now you can hear me already coming: it's sooo important to invest in good denim pants ! I'll try to help you a bit out. Some notable brands: Diesel Levi's Cheap Monday Topman River Island (only for the skinny jeans... )
First note: What kind of jeans do you want ? You should know this already, there are a lot of 'styles' in jeans: skinny jeans, bootcut, .... First you have to take a look at the clothing style you have or you want to have. My tip is to go for the skinny jeans, because this one fits a lot of styles. You're not so into skinny jeans ? Ones with strait legs are very cool too ! Second note: The washing is important too ! You can go for dark jeans, yea even black ones, or for washed ones. The choice is yours, but make sure that it fits your style !
So, I hope I've been able to help you out choosing the right jeans for the right style ! Use my tips, 'cause it's sooo important you wear the right jeans on the right way ! It's just the base of your whole look !
Hello ! Today a short message... I went running this afternoon with a good friend of mine. Now you'll say 'That has nothing to do with fashion !'. But that's so not true ! Actually we always feel a bit ashamed in our sportclothes, but you have to make sure you wear the right ones. We always go in the oversized style and today we discovered that it's the best thing to do ! Because there was a lady in the park running with stretchpants and it was ugly to see ! Her ass !
PS: Today, Aerodynamic finally discovered the publicity for my blog we put in his locker ! So if you read this A., welcome to my blog and come check it every day ! Just because the only way I have to save the world is fashion !
As you guys can hear, I managed to put music on my blog ! With much thankyou's to Maxime who helped me with it (yea I know, I suck in computers.. !) ! This is the music of the band of a Polish friend of mine, Karol, and his band is called: ZESPUŁ1. The extract you can here is a cover from the Bloodhound Gang, the song is called: Fire water burn. Here is their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/zespul1 And another site where you can hear their music: http://www.lastfm.pl/music/ZESPU%C5%811
Check those ones out !
xoxo Marielle
With my special thank for ZESPUŁ1 because I can put their music on my blog and to Maxime, because he fixed it for me !
Helloo my dear readers ! You're not that into fashion but you do wanna look good ? You don't wanna spend many time by buying and searching for great clothes but you do wanna look good ? You don't want to go over the top but you do wanna look good ? Then I have thé message for you ! In one sentence: less is more, because simply works too !
Hellooo I have a short message for you about a cool accessory item. You're very religious (well Chrisian ...) or you just want to pimp your outfit ? I have the solution for you ! Wear a paternoster (we call it like that in slung Dutch...).
Ode to the cardigan: A cardigan is: Cool Amazing Romantic (phaha I just had to find an R-word ) Disstressing ( I think I don't really have inspiration...) Imagination Godessness (is that actually a word ? ) Acid & sweet together - like the sauce in the Chinese restaurant ! Nucleair explosion effect - in the good way... Ok anyway, I'll shut up with my stupid wordgames...
So hello everyone ! Today I'm gonna bring an ode to the cardigan. It's such a cool item too wear, and such a shame that not many guys wear one... So I discovered why: they find it gay... That's why I'm going to refute that now ! CARDIGANS ARE NOT FOR GAYS ! THEY'RE WAY TOO COOL ! Ok, capish ? I hope I brainwashed you now a bit !
Heyheey ! Today was great with the sun shining all over ous ! (Except that I made two missteps at the same - rather crowdy - place.. But I'm not gonna annoy you with that shit ! )
I found a really cool look today on Lookbook ! And DO try this at home ! http://lookbook.nu/look/567213-Undiscolsed-Desired At the first sight it's not that special, but you should have a look at the details. Just the combination of safety pins and leopard printed shoes. If I had heard that, I would have said: "Blèèèh ! So ordinary !" But he does it so subtile, so cool ! I'm a fan ! (Whoaa, the last time I'm fan of everything ! xD But nevermind ! ) - You must also know that I'm not a fan of leopardprints, but he just wears it sooo cool !
You want this look too ? Just copy it ! It's cool for everybody ! Just keep it sober with black skinnies, black T-shirt, black cardigan/ blazer/ leather jacket,... And then the finishing touch with the safety pins and the leopard print. I should keep the leopard print in the shoes like he does. Vans had some really cool ones, but I think there out of stock now ! But you never know... : http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2008/10/27/vans-animal-series-leopard-pack/ Not a fan of leopards ? You can try some other animals... Sacha is a shoesstore that has really funny and rather creative shoes. I'm sure they will have some animal ones and the website shows a pair with zebraprint : cool !http://www.sacha.nl/index.php?k=3&t=1&c=&i=410 The safety pins: Spiros (the guy from Lookbook..) put them on his T-shirt and that's very cool ! One of the best places you can put them on I guess... But you can also wear them on other places: * On the pocket of your pants (just choose one pocket, not both...). * If you wear a cardigan, in your cardigan. Don't put them in your leather jacket !!!!! That costs too much to make holes in it ! *Jewellery: sometimes you can find jewellery inspired by safety pins.. Open your eyes and maybe you'll find something !
I like this very much as long as you keep it sober and subtile... Do try this !
You can see that the style of Jord Wearn is a bit the 'poor' guy. I like it very, very, very much. Aaand it's cool that it fits our new mentality for 2010. I'm a fan !
You want to copy this look ? Just go visit a vintage store or go and check your wardorbe or the one from your brother, father, grandpa,... for old items. But you have to look out that you won't create a beggar look.That is not cool ! For the pants you can buy you some new ones and rip them to make them look new and old at the same time. I like the sweater of Jord very much and maybe you'll find such one in a vintage store or between your old clothes or the old clothes of another person you know. Your sweater can look kinda old when you buy yourself some new-old pants. But warning : this look doens't allow beards or mustaches - Ok, actually I'm never a fan of that - because otherwise you will look like a beggar ! And the clue isn't to be a beggar but a cool 'poor' guy. For your haircut you can choose: the I-just-come-out-of-my-bed-look or a tidy look. The choise is yours but just make sure that it fits your face. Btw Jord his hair is very cool with his outfit ! I'm gonna say it once more: I'm a fan !
So, I guess that were the most important tips. You still want to know something else ? You still have problems ? Ask me, I'll try to help you !
Today I'm going to give you my top 5 T-shirts in a few categories. It's of course important to choose the right T-shirt for spring and summer, so I would like to help or to inspire you !
Helloo guys (and girls of course !) Spring and summer are coming up and then one thing is very important: EYEWEAR ! It's very important to wear the right and cool sunglasses ! (And I must admit that I find such sporty and cyclist ones very not !... So if you have such ones throw them away ! Give them to your ennemy ! ... And buy you some new cool ones, very cheap !)
There are two sunglasses styles that are really cool now and that I like very much: * The retro style: (Yeah, I'm an Adam Brody fan, but you must admit that he's cool with his sunglasses !)The frame has to be like the authentic Ray-Bans. You can wear them black, but maybe try to go once for flashy colours ! Ok, I know Ray-Ban is rather expensive, but there are a lot of cheaper brands that sell retro sunglasses ! You want to invest in a pair of Ray-Bans ? Try those ones: http://www.ray-ban.com/belgium/ The red retros The ones right from the red ones The black and white retros (right from the previous ones )
*The aviator style: (Hmm, James Lafferty fan too !) This style of sunglasses is a must for every guy. You can combine it with a lot of styles. (Just look out that it fits your face ! Btw retro shades fit almost every face, but aviator ones don't !) Ray-Ban also has really cool aviator ones ! http://www.ray-ban.com/belgium/ (My favourites on the Ray-Ban site are the ones in the left corner at the bottom... ) But again their are much cheaper ones ! - http://xml.riverisland.com/flash/content.php On the River Island site are a lot of aviators. (Go to men --> accessories --> jewellery/watches/sunglasses --> the sunglasses begin at page 5) My favourites are on page 7 in the right corner at the top called 'metallic aviator sunglasses' ! - From American Apparel: http://store.americanapparel.eu/sabresg.html?cid=141 http://store.americanapparel.eu/barrysg.html?cid=141
Helloo again readers ! Like I promised, I'm here with the second part of my 'green is the new purple' message. Aaaaaand it's about.............surfing style ! Everybody's gone surfin', surfin' USA ! Make waves, not war ! Don't let the wave hit you on the way out ! Catch the waves ! No water sucks ! ... Ok, I'm gonna stop saying those surfing sentences . I did a surfcamp last summer and it was awesome. I just didn't manage to stay on my surfboard ! Do you surf ? Yes ? Very good then ! No ? Just try it once, you'll like it !
Aloha ! I thought that spring was coming up, but now snow is predicted for tonight. Well I still gonna give you style advice for this spring and summer. The weather can go to hell . Like the title of my message already told you: green is the new purple. Last year, purple was thé color to wear, now it's replaced by green. I have two styles for you where green is introduced. The milirary style and the surf style... Ok, I know it are completely different styles, but that's good for you cause like that you can choose the one that fits you the most !
(PS I dicovered that when you click on a link in my messages you loose the page of my blog... Anyone knows how to solve this ? Tell it me please.. Till now you can just CTRL+C the link and CTRL+V him in a new internet page... ) This message is the first part ! Here I'm going to discuss the military style. So the surf style will come soon. Interested ? Check tomorrow again the second part will probably be there tomorrow...
1. We love soldiers I split this style also in two categories. You can go for absolutely military but also for the military accent... 1.1 Pathfinder meets soldier This is with the military accent. I have another Lookbooklink for you guys and I must admit I love it. I adore it ! It's tooo cool ! http://lookbook.nu/look/413683-Let-s-all-go-camping-in-style-2-of-4-Dsquared I love the green accent of his socks !
Copy the look: * The camouflage shorts. They are necessairy to have that military accent. I have two sorts of camo short for you. The ones that are very green and the "washed" ones. The choise is up to you. The very green ones: http://www.newlook.co.uk/1828916/182891634/ProductDetails.aspx The "washed" ones: http://xml.riverisland.com/flash/content.php (go to men --> shorts/joggers --> casual shorts --> first page, the one left and at the botom called 'belted camo cargo shorts') You want to create the look with the black leggings under the camouflage shorts ? It's this one that the guy from Lookbook wears. http://store.americanapparel.eu/rsa4402.html?cid=176 * The top: He gives that schoolboy, pathfinder accent by wearing a shirt, a tie and a blazer. So if you want to copy his whole look do that too ! If you want to make it a bit less schoolboy you can leave the blazer and/or the tie behind. The white shirt: http://www.newlook.co.uk/1918931/191893110/ProductDetails.aspx The tie: http://xml.riverisland.com/flash/content.php (go to men --> accessories --> underwear/socks/ties --> last page (the 5th one) --> the second one from left at the bottom called 'super skinny tie') The blazer: http://xml.riverisland.com/flash/content.php (go to men --> suits/trousers --> suits --> first page --> the 4th one from left at the top called 'skinny suit jacket') Tip: the Lookbook guy made it more schoolguy by adding buttons on his blazer. Do try this at home ! *The boots: Combat boots are again necessairy here for the military accent ! The ones the Lookbookguy wears are from Zara and are very cool. But he told it was from the women's colection, so I guess not many of you guys will be able to fit in women's boots. http://xml.riverisland.com/flash/content.php (go to men --> footwear --> boots --> the first page --> the last ones called 'high military boot') The socks: http://www.topman.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=56&viewAllFlag=false&catalogId=17551&storeId=12555&categoryId=132901&parent_category_rn=55918&productId=1489908&langId=-1 Those ones are not totally green, just make sure that the green top comes out of your boots and not the rest...
So I hope I helped someone out with this message or that someone will follow my tips... P.S. If you're interested in the surf style, don't forget to check my blog tomorrow again !
I don't know how about you, but in my school it's almost prom. So I'm gonna write a tuxedo & prom message to help you choose the perfect tux ! First of all: you don't have to change your whole style by wearing a tux. You can try to shine your style through with the help of some details... Second importance: try to match with your date.
Match with your date ! First it's important to know what dress your date is going to wear. (Tip: If you don't have a girlfriend or a date yet, just ask someone. Your date haven't to be your girlfriend. You can ask your best female friend or when you dare to do it: your crush... Follow my clothing tips, or just follow your own clothing tips, breath deeply in and ask her ! )
3. http://www.mangooutlet.com/zoomProducto.faces?id=81439071&type=zoom&idioma=IN That's the happy and funny girl. She matches the best with guys who dare to wear bright colors and cool clothes. Guys who can put their humor in their tuxedo. This style can be a bit risky, you have to watch out not to look like a clown. This isn't a style for many guys too. It really should fit your personality !
For the trousers you can look to the first look. So don't be afraid to wear black skinny jeans for your prom ! You can even copy the shirt from the first look. But the shirt from the second look would fit as well.
http://www.cheapmonday.com/ ( I couldn't link you the photo, but I'll tell you how to get it: Collection ss 2010 --> boy --> 3th page --> 3 look from left above )
Make your own one ! You don't want to buy a denim jacket, but you do wanna have a cool one ? Search in you old wardrobe, your father's one, your friend's one,... for an old denim jacket. When you want to make it extra cool: cut the sleeves off ! DO try this at home... Good luck !
Helloo ! I have some questions for you ! Answer if you wanna .
What is your favourite style ? (Or for girls what is your favourite guy style ?) What style do you want me to discuss ? Do you have any stylequestions ? You can ask them to me (well, I'm not sure that I'll find an answer, but I'll do the best I can to help you ! ). .....
I hope someone will answer ! xD (PS I have a new trend for you guys tomorrow, but I havn't finished it already... So if you're curious, come and check it tomorrow ! )
I have some big news ! Someone remembers the guys with the aerodynamic shoes of who I spoke in one of my first messages ? Well, a miracle happened ! He wore other shoes today... It was a classical pair like those ones you wear under a suit but then in brown. Ok, I wasn't really a fan of it, but it was much better than that aerodynamical poison ! Then I wondered: did he read my blog ? Did he understand that it was about him and realised that his shoes were soooo ugly ?
(Btw I found those motherfuckers ! The friend who's in his class told me the brand (Scapa, wow I didn't know Scapa had such ugly shoes !) and I looked them up on google. This is the link: http://www.rivaschoenen.be/riva_schoenen_heren.asp?taal=nl&RubriekId=1 Oh before I forget it, it are the shoes above in the middle but he wears them in grey and a little bit different I guess !)
As you can see, the clothes are rather sober and so are the colors. It's a style that fits a lot of people and it isn't risky at all (well when you wear it right of course ).
Copy the look: You should definately go visit the Zara..., that's my first tip. This is the link of the men catalogue online, take a look if you want to. I'm not a fan of all of it, but some items are really good ! http://www.zara.com/#/fr_FR/man/catalogue/
The items I'm gonna give you are some from Topshop. That's a site with great men's clothing that also ships things to Europe (even to my little Belgium country )
But beware ! Do not add to much accessories ! Less is more here...
So I hope I inspired you guys and at least someone will try this style out ! Sometimes I just have the feeling that I'm talking to the walls or that only girls are reading this ! xD
According to Karl Lagerfeld (from Chanel... ) is the spring/summer trend for 2010: Wild West and Farmers... I suppose some of you saw the Chanel fashion show in Paris with performance of Lilly Allen ( each time I hear her song 'Not fair' I have to think of the fashion show ) on tv. It was a fashion show for women's clothing but Baptiste Giabiconi (known as the favourite male model from Karl Lagerfeld) apeared in a few men's combinations.
When you look at the campain-photo it's clear that the Wild West played a big role. Baptiste Giabiconi (well I suppose it's him on the photo... ) could come straight out of the film Desperado 2. But also the Farmer's theme played a big role. Take for example a look at this photo: http://fashionforlunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Chanel-wedding.jpg
Hii dear readers ! If you live in Belgium, you've probably already heard about Bent Van Looy (if you've never heard about him, aliens just brainwashed you I guess !)... If you know Bent, you' probably already heard about his pants... I would name this style: Water in the cellar. His pants are always a bit too short and on this way he shows his cool socks.
It's a bit a weird style, but I like it ! Ok I'm sure not everybody can get away with it. But if you like it and it fits you, why won't you try it ?
Aloha ! I woke up this morning and the sky was blue, the sun was shining and the birds were fluting (ok maybe I just imagined the birds... ), then I realised that spring is coming up ! (Although it was a real cold winter, I sometimes began to think that we would have snow the whole year through !) But the most important: a new season means a new trend for that season. I'm not specialized in trendwatching or things like that (maybe I should do such things more... ) but in my eyes this has to be the 'new' trend, just because I like it and it's really cool : Spring rocks !
- Your jeans have to be skinny (many 'colors' and washings are possible, but my favourites are the black jeans or the grey ones). April 77 has some nice black skinny jeans. Levi's has always a big jeans collection and sometimes there are a pair of black ones between ( I bought once black Levi's jeans, a tip: just wash them with special soap for black clothes or they will become a bit green, trust me ) Are you not that into skinny jeans ? No problem, try a pair of Diesel and you will rock too ! (Tip: take your scissors and make from your jeans a ripped one on the height of your knee or knees !)
- Shoes: the Dr. Martin boots. I would not try the classical shiny ones... (But you still can do that hé !) They have also boots that are not shiny. (Tip: don't wear them like it should be, don't close your lacets and wear them a bit nonchalant, try to make them look old like you've been wearing them for 5 years... ) http://www.dmusastore.com/p-2960-pier.aspx
- Jacket: there are many possible jackets to wear with this outift: the leather jacket, the trenchcoat, the denim jacket,... http://store.diesel.com/item/tskay/6556E1E7/cod10/41158051KF/rr/1 You want to try the trenchcoat ? Just take a dark color (not the brown color of the regular trenchcoats...) and not to long... The Antoine M. from Lookbook (he's my first link in this message I guess..) wears his trenchcoat very cool !
So I hope someone is gonna like this style (I know, not everybody will do, but I'm gonna talk about different styles and I'm sure yours will come lately !) and will copy it with my tips.. !
xoxo Marielle
(PS: I would like to do some photoshooting from the styles I discuss, so when I'll find a model and the clothes and so on, I'll maybe realize that ! )
