Medailles du style

I love the idea of spicing up last year’s simple dark coat with all kinds of military inspired embellishments.

But it also works on the new season’s key piece the Camel coat

So, better start searching your favourite vintage stores or local flea markets for old brooches and medals to create your very unique military look for this fall.

the hat

I had already told you about my hat obsession earlier…and indeed I have been buying and wearing lots of hats lately…can’t do in Paris without one!! I have been meaning to post this “hat outfit” for really long:

This is one of my favourite hats. Technically, its not even mine, but I “stole” it from my friend Isa. It’s Vintage and we bought it together chez Episode on Rue Tiquetonne.

Rest of the outfit: Zara shorts and blazer, Isabel Marant plaid tunic, Zadig&Voltaire scarf, Chloe Elsie bag.

I found you!

I finally found the YSL arty ring, which I have been craving for soooo long! 

After being sold out forever, it miraculously resurfaced in Paris…in my favourite colour and in my size!!! So although it is technically last season (ok with YSL, there can never really be a “last season”), I had to get it immediately. This is gonna be my very favourite summer accessory, next to this oh-so Parisian Vintage scarf, I got a Kiliwatch this weekend.

Cheap & Chic: Moschino

how to do moschino vintage belt

There are certain relicts from the 80′s that totally deserve a comeback. Among those: the Moschino statement belt. No need to discuss whether it’s too bold, too flashy or even tasteless: IT’S COOL! Just like Rayban Wayfarers are.

Inspired by some of our favorite blogger colleagues (Gala, Camille and Kristin from Beach Black), we pulled this look taking the Moschino belt from the 80′s to the 2000′s:

1. Belt: Moschino (vintage, search Ebay!)

2. Dress: Acne print silk dress via mytheresa.com

3. COS platform booties

4. Turban-like hat from Opening Ceremony

5. Matching pyramid ring: Kenneth Jay Lane

6. Nailpolish: Chanel Orange Fizz

Okay, I admit that this outfit is a little outrageous. But c’mon…I’d totally wear it like this if I lived in NYC. Ha…if only I lived in NYC! For all other city-girls: add a grey ovesized sweater;-)!

Shopping guide: Le Marais

We spent our last day in PARIS in the city’s most charming and trendy district: LE MARAIS. On a Thursday afternoon it has quite a peaceful “small-village”-atmosphere and invites you to stroll around, take a look at the small boutiques and galeries, sit down outside the boho-cafè “La Perle“, watch stylish people pass by and just be INSPIRED…

Here’s where u really HAVE to go when u are in Paris.
