A by Autumn - special outfit from La Halle

Dear Stradi Girls and Boys !

Hope everyone is enjoying this summer's beginning ! Today I present you my first look in collaboration with LA HALLE. I'm so glad they trust in us and we absolutely love their designs. LA HALLE is the place to shop if you do not want to spend too much for your wardrobe. What is great at LA HALLE is that you can find different styles, if you're skinny-curvy, a baby-a teenager or even a business woman, you will ALWAYS find something great to put on. LA HALLE offers a large choice of brands like "K by Kookai", "N by Naf Naf" or their own designs.

About accessories, I'm wearing sunglasses with gold on the sides (the shape is so classy I think), yellow neon necklace, turquoise pyramid ring, burgundy hat and that OH-SO-AMAZEBALLS black-grey-metallic bag from K BY KOOKAI. Shoes are some A BY ANDRE (if you want to have kind of Rihanna-feet style, go for them!YAY!).

About clothes, I chose this amazing and cheap black dress that will embellish your body (even if you're curvy, you got to dare!!) and mesh black jacket, all from M BY MOSQUITOS.

I would like to say something that's really important to me. No matter how is your body, you ALL look fabulous. Don't be afraid to feel good for yourself, don't let other people try to run your life and way to act just because maybe you're curvy or too skinny. We all deserve to be happy and respected by others. I would like to thank Nadia Aboulhosn for being a role model to me (she might be the most beautiful woman I know and obviously the Queen of the eyebrow game!. You absolutely have to check out her Instagram account and blog, she's such a G and a Lady at the same time). And of course thanks to all the other women that I truly love !

Pins & Love

 You certainly remember our post about the new opening of La Halle's shop at Riponne, well now we've discovered the clothes collections and looked at an impressive number of clothing racks. Let me tell you it was paradise :) You remember when I wrote that I always get the most sentimental items ? Well, this overall is one of them. Seriously, look at the prints ; all these little pins pinning something. I tend to fall in love with awkward, quirky prints. I love this piece because it's covering but made of a very lightweight fabric and I really like the uniform feeling I get wearing it ;) It comes from N by Naf Naf, as well as this awesome black handbag with two big pockets and the red bomber jacket. If you look closely you'll see that it's quilted in shape of lips (seriously ?!? did I went too far ?)

Then, I hope you noticed the most beautiful and timeless pair of shoes of my life ! They're a limited edition from A by André and made of black leather and feels so great with the large heel. I bet this will never go out of style. I'm also wearing three silver bracelets which are really cool and edgy along with a cool ring that has a tribal feel to it. I totally suggest to check out La Halle's accessories because they're so right on trend and extremely affordable !

Paris trip: Exhibitions + Outfit

Dear Stradi Girls and Boys !

Two week-ends ago, I went to Paris to spend some quality time with my BF and we visited a few exhibitions.

We went to look at the LAST SHOOTING about Kurt Cobain, photographed by Youri Lenguette. Galerie Addict exposed the last photos before Cobain passed away. It was very interesting to see how troubled he was, through the photos. It show him and his band, making funny faces, holding a gun.

Then, we went to Galerie Perrotin to visit the GIRL exhibition, inspired by Pharrell Williams, that shows a bunch of artists' work. It was so inspiring to see all that art about women, all the ideas about how girls are strong and essence of life. I loved the fact that there were different styles and influences.

I wanted so much to go to Le Grand Palais to admire the architecture and where all the big fashion shows take place. We were so lucky to have the possibility to visit the ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE's exhibition. It's all about the beauty of bodies, geometry, parallel between flowers and men's anatomy (and a lot more). Robert Mapplethorpe is such a genius, his work is priceless. You will also spot Lisa Lyon - his muse - Patti Smith, Annie Leibovitz, Blondie and so many more. You REALLY have to go there !

In the middle of the afternoon, we hadn't eaten yet. So we stopped at LA PENDERIE (Etienne Marcel) to have a drink - champagne with hibiscus flower for me and a mojito for the BF - and something to enjoy with our belly. 

I'm wearing black NIKE roshe run, black pants from OLD NAVY, black caraco top from ASOS, kimono from PRIMARK, black perfecto from H&M and a cute little black ciré bag from LA HALLE.
