This blog has been a little drowsy lately. I haven’t been idle (I even made big progress on my summer essentials), but my (usually pretty vivid) coquetry definitely was: readers, I think I suffer from a Donkeyskin complex. The Donkeyskin complex (Donkeyskin seems like a fairly French fairytale, but as you can check here, it’sContinue reading “The Donkeyskin complex”

Toward a better balance
The day when we’re all as elegant as a drawing by Gruau, well, will be a great day for fashion indeed… This week and the week before, I shopped a few items on sales.

That was the first time I visited a trade show, and I discovered a special atmosphere… as well as the samples displaying the manufacturers’ best work.

About outfit pictures
Bloody hell. When I wrote my new year resolutions, I took the decision to document my daily life and outfits. My small flat lacking light, and lacking myself of photographic skills and talent, I totally neglected this part, even if I was pleased with some of my outfits (Dr. Sketchy’s Weimar Berlin, January 9th), wentContinue reading “About outfit pictures”
Fresh start
New Year, new blog. I usually prefer to take good resolutions in september, but this January month happens to be very special for me. Here are a few of those that will hopefully have their place on this blog. In 2011, I hope I will: Find my style. I wish there were a slightly lessContinue reading “Fresh start”
