Backstage: Photoshoot ATTITUDE magazine

When you'll be reading this I'll already be in Paris! yay !! I'm heading over there for a wedding and not for a shopping session (normally) but hey, Paris c'est Paris !

Anyways GUISE! YOU NEEEDDD TO SEE THIS! I wanted to share these pics of the first photoshoot I did for my internship. I had the pleasure to work with the coolest team (seriously who gets dragged to a café at 11 A.M. ? anyone?) and the beautiful Nevena Dujmovic.

It was so fun to do ! Honestly photoshoots are my favorite thing in the world to do, plus I was allowed to take backstage pictures so my inner bloggerheart nearly exploded of joy. I have TONS of pictures from my day, but these sum it up quite well.

So these pictures were taken at the Crowne Plaza in Bruges ( Belgium), truly a gorgeous hotel. LOL you guys should have seen me, running around with clothes, dressing the model, giving comments on the lighting...I felt so grown up, I was so happy that  I got this internship!

But then it hit me. People actually have this job. Forreal like in real life with money and contracts and omg omg imagine I could do this for the rest of my life and actually get paid like I worked forreal omg I can't breathe. Having the thought that I might seriously  do photoshoots and stylings for a living made me go apesh*t crazy enthusiastic.

Excuse me while I fangirl.

People who are not on tumblr may not understand my fundamental need to express myself in gifs, but I really do ok.

If you'd like to hear more about my adventures (you know, since fashion is a dangerous and extreme field and all) I would love to write more about it, just let me know on twitter !

Oh and of course I can't forget to show you (a page) of the result ...

Have a nice weekend :D

Snapped : @ Naf Naf store

After the I left the H&M headquarters, blogging buddy  Kim and I decided to stop by at Naf Naf, where they were holding a shopping night. Besided their pretty interior I noticed these two cuties, had to snap a picture of them!

To find stylish men in Paris is not a problem, but in Brussels ? I just had to head over for a little chat, because their obvious sense of style got me curious to know who they were. It's so weird, sometimes I can be the most shy person on the planet and on other days I feel like I could have a chat with the president like it's nobody's business... Strange.

Anyways it's always nice to meet new people, especially if you can bond over first world problems, complain about all things superficial and talk about ambitions to take over the world, ... Don't you just love fashion?

What do you guys think about their outfits ? WIll post some shots of the new store soon!

H&M Bloggersnight feat. FAA 2012

So last Thursday I headed to the H&M showroom in Brussels, to go see the new FAA 2012 collection! The Invitation promised a lot of fun and fashion, so I ran out of class before it was even done ( I'm that badass) so I could be there. The things I do for fashion...

I warn you, picture overload! I had way too many pictures, so I hope these will tell you enough about that night and the fab clothing I saw

Pampering, pampering...

Honestly what is a blogger's night when you can't play dress-up?

What is a blogger's night when you can't play dress-up ? I can tell you we had loads of fun. Can you guess the blogger above ?

If you like the collection, you better run run run! The same exact day that the collection came out there were already some items sold out! The skirt that I wanted wasn't there anymore, but I got most of the accessories. I promise I'll do another outfitpost soon :)

Remember, if you buy anything of this FAA collection, 25% will go to a good cause. So seriously what is better than shopping and helping people? Nothunngg! 

Bisous babes, enjoy your weekend !

Tommy Hilfiger's Promise Collection

Last Thursday I was invited to the Tommy Hilfiger flagship store in Antwerp to see his latest "Promise" collection. I had already heard a lot of praise around this initiative so I was very exited to go see it myself! I was very tired from pressdays and school ( not to mention stressed out :O ) But since the magic of Cafeïne never seizes to amaze me, I had enough fuel to get me trough the day.

1. First public appearance with da braids ! // 2. "Carltonville" wrap skirt // 

The Millennium Promise 

Millennium Promise is a non-profit organisation that wants to achieve the Millenium Development Goals ( such as; cut extreme poverty and hunger by half, combat HIV/AIDS, education for all kids,...) 

To support this, Tommy Hilfiger made a promise : 100% of the revenues made by selling this collection will go to this cause!

The Event

Even though I was there very briefly, I had the opportunity to take a closer look at the collection (while retaining the urge to get myself a new Tommy wardrobe, preppy pants included) 

I was/am kind of sceptical towards those brands that throw in their " african inspired" collections, partly because I'm very familiar with the prints and fabrics, partly because you risk that "I bought this at the market for 10 bucks"-look. Not cool if you actually paid at least ten times that! . 

Invited were some celebrities, journalists and autre beau monde from the fashion industry, who could enjoy some african music and cocktails !

Anyways, I was kind of dissapointed to see that my favorite items weren't all displayed at the store ( those that I saw were quite dissapointing ) but I did love certain items very much! Obviously all the items are for Tommy prices ( meaning not so cheap) but remember that you're supporting a good cause ! :D

3. "African Continent" V-neck tee ( also available in black for men!) // 4. Coral necklace 

Entire Collection

Join the movement ! tweet your promise with #makeapromise and get the chance to not only become a Tommy Hilfiger Ambassador  (Katie Holmes is one too), but you could also  win a trip to Uganda with mr. Hilfiger himself !
