Snippets

So excuse my long silence, I have been beyond busy with my new job and the competition 'Customisez moi'. It's a Belgian competition where you have to show a 10 piece collection of customised garments and if you get selected you get to show in Brussels in front of loads of very cool people and you can win a very exciting prize... I thought I would take part as, I don't know if you've noticed, but I customise a lot...
I'm not sure I have a shot because the people taking part a real serious people who go to fancy schools etc but I have to say that it was quite challenging and exciting to create a more or less coherent collection...

I will show you the outfits a bit later but I wanted to give you a snippet of one of the outfits tonight...

I hope you like it and cross fingers for me!!

2nd day in the rain...

It now really feels like Autumn as it was pouring in London.... This meant that the trench and the boots made their comeback. I was also sporting a massive blue KPMG umbrella, it was a good look!
Anyway, another day, another When Charlotte met Maia piece!

My First Day

When you were in school and it was a new school year, have you ever had that feeling: 'Right this is a new beginning, I will have a new haircut, I will exercise more and be healthier, read more, I will work harder and overall be a better version of myself, etc...' Well this is how I felt today, it was my first day at my new job!
It took me forever to figure out what to wear but I ended up wearing my 'when in doubt' outfit (do you have an outfit that is your failsafe?) I found the dress at my beloved Retro Paradise in Brussels and wore it with a When Charlotte met Maia belt for good luck (do you remember it? It's my 'boxer' belt seen here)
I was also wearing a light bolt necklace but I seemed to have lost it on the way home... How useless is that?
I will try to wear one When Charlotte met Maia garment every day this week, hopefully it will lead to a good first week!
Anyway, I have to admit that I have already failed on my new regime and didn't wake up early this morning to work out... better luck tomorrow?
