Hair- ccesories 

Hey readers! I have been drawn to hair accessories lately and I thought I'd Blog about them because I find they finish off my outfits perfectly. 'Hair' me out. 

Carrie (Bradshaw) once confronted Burger about the Scrunchie - if you're lost, you should watch more 'Sex and the City' - and told him no New York City gal would wear a Scrunchie because it's a Fashion Faux Pas. Well i'm about to reveal something shocking: I love a Scrunchie !! 

I started wearing some of my mother's 80's hair 'things' with  my vintage shirts a little over a year ago. 

She doesn't throw anything away ... lucky for me ! 

This is a picture of me in Sweden for a Waacking Battle featuring the 'real' 80's Bow from my mom's collection. WERK.  

After that bow came the BIG BLACK Scrunchie from Claire's and then the BIG RED Scrunchie at Christmas.

My Scrunchie obsession grew ... so I asked one of my very talented friends to make me some Scrunchies with my "Woman" logo on them !!!

They finish off my 80's outfits per - fe- ctly and you can spot them from a mile away:

Battle 

I won! 

The Scrunchie is in ! It's not going anywhere ! However, I have a new Head - ccesorie friend ... 

... the Headband! It's my BFF right about now! 

In these pictures, I teamed it up with the Scrunchie to provide the ultimate 80's look! 

This shoot was put together to promote my new 'wErk Now - wOrk Later' t-shirt collection (email me to get yours posted now ! ) and I had to look super 80's DOPE! Mission accomplished. 

So scrunchies, bows, headbands .... Hats you ask? Done ! 

 

So what's the point of this post? Go get a Hair - ccesorie and have some fun with it ! 

Much love and shoes,

Get the Look 

Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while since my last post but i've been busy filming my new Waacking Dance Video (amongst multiple other things) ! Yes, if you did not know, i'm a Dancer and Waacking is the style I live for. 

For this Video project, I really wanted to create a mirror effect between the origins of Waacking and my persona. 

Waacking was inspired by silent films and old Black and White movies; I used this to show my dramatic side and French character. Waacking was born to Disco music: the Disco energy would reflect my fierce and passionate side. 

I used 2 outfits + Hair and Make- Up combos, 2 locations and a colour contrast to create the illusion.  

Let's check out the clothes .... 

Look 1: 1930's B & W Parisian

The first thing I did was look up pictures to understand the shape of the outfit and get the accessories right. 

Once I had all my images lined up I created my version:  

•  Blazer: Vintage "Grand Mère Glamour " 
• Pencil Skirt: Topshop  (tube skirt) 
• Shoes: Kurt Geiger

Accessories : 

• Hat: a precious Camden find in the Stables Market
• Pearl Earrings : Claire's accessories 
• Pearl Necklace: Camden market. 
• Gloves : Vintage "Grand Mère Glamour" 

• Bag : Vintage "Grand Mère Glamour "
• The Cinderella Belt : Vintage online Etsy 
• Brooch (hidden here) : Vintage 

The Belt and Hat are what made this outfit personal: the detail of the gold shoes along the belt +  the dramatic hat...  my outfit was complete! 

I needed this outfit to have all the "parts" so that it really looked like I was at a Bistrot having a coffee. The Bag and Gloves are the key to that "realness" I think because if you were going to a Caffe you would have a handbag and in the 30's ... gloves !! 

Look 2:  Disco 

The Disco outfit was easier to put together but it had to somehow be linked to the 1930's "ensemble" for the transitions from one era to the other to be smooth. I consequently decided to stick to Black + Silver sequins : the Disco version of Black & White!

• Sequin Butterfly Top: Vintage, Episode 
• Trousers : Episode 
• Shoes: Zara 

Accessories: 

• Earrings: Aldo 
• Bracelet: Kurt Geiger
• Belt: Vintage, Episode

This outfit is simple but effective ! Sequins: check, big 80's belt: check, fierce shoes: check !! 

So without further a do, here it is! Feel free to share and subscribe if you like it !

Much love and shoes, 

à bientôt,
