I guess some of the comments left by several bloggers made me realize that there might be a slight paradox between writing about fashion extensively yet not showing how these elements I talk about translate into real life. My life. This thought surfaced over the past couple of months and stayed on my mind. As a result, I decided to create my very own "window dressing" space. I will try to convey my style accurately and give the best possible sense of clarity to my displays but the excellence of this task might not be on the same level as the pros (Sea of Shoes, LeeseLooks, Fashion Toast, Inside Am-Lul's closet and Lulu and your mum).
This new little feature is essentially designed to bring a special insight into my world and to see my fashion opinions in a different light. Another form of discussion to fulfil the desire of some of my readers for more information.
I will attempt to post images of my favourite outfits once or twice a month but I do not intend to create a catalogue of images or a look-book. You can easily find that kind of thing elsewhere. The Internet already provides a triumphant riot of style blogs and communities.
So, that's the plan: a fashion reality challenge!
Let me know what you all think ...

Wo-AW !!! Your shoes.... perfect ! They're so so so beautiful !!!
Thx for your comment !
love it - that shirt too. I always think of that too, never showing photos of myself but unfortunately I hate to have my photo taken more than I worry about it!x
Quand on a un style comme le tien, on le montre !
Bravo !

Ooooo! I love the top! I think the approach you're using for this is interesting, especially since your blog showcases so much work from other people (in a very tasteful manner, I should add, and truly sets you apart from the other compilation blogs). I feel like a lot of people (and I even feel myself doing this) force their WIWT posts because they just need content to put up for that day. Fashion shouldn't be forced; it must be lived! (I feel like this is a quote from somewhere...)
Parce que paradoxalement, les éléments du vestiaire masculin contribuent à sublimer la Féminité de celle qui se les approprie, "with You on a Casual CHIC-issime way" !!! Mmmh Mmmh "Théorème stylistique" au coeur de mon dernier article . . .

Lisa: Yes, the Loubs were my wedding shoes and I love them to death. They're incredibly comfortable and always add a little bit of 'hooker' glamour to my outfits - hehehe
Anonymous: Thank you so much for the comment! It's so nice to know that people out there like my blog ... I'm not sure about posting a photo of my wedding outfit. It feels extremely personal and not something I'm willing to share with the blogosphere....
Claire: Yes, platforms! I don't usually go for the highly feminine and dainty, not quite me.
V: Hey, thanks for the comment and welcome to my blog. Hope you enjoy it as much as you enjoy the layout!
Salegamine: Non, c'est moi qui t'aime!
Noel: Thanks for the comment!
Alice: Merci, je suis super contente que ca te plaise. Alors, Londres? Est ce que tu te sens deja chez toi? Kiss
i.d.: Thank you for the comment and the support. I'm glad that you like my Loubs and the fact that I wore them for my wedding. People seem quite surprised by the wedding platforms!!!
Broadcast.Poulet: You know what, I still smile every time I see the name of your blog... I love it and you still haven't told me what gave you the idea! Explanation, please...
Kat: Thank you so much, it means a lot to me to be listed in the same sentence as 'The search for chic'!
Marion Rocks: Merci! Je suis tres contente qu'elles te plaisent. A bientot j'espere!
Lola: I'm glad you like the shirt. I was ecstatic when I found it. The first time I come across a real bargain in Paris... I think you should follow my example and use a tripod to take pictures of yourself (less stress). I've been dying to know what you look like for a very long time!
Kenza: Wow, ca me fait super plaisir ce que tu me dis la ... T'es un ange!
Miss a.: Your comment is spot on. Thank you so much for coming back here and giving me so much support! I'm extremely happy that you like what you see on my blog!

Knight cat: Thank you so much for your comment and for checking out my blog! It's a real pleasure to have you here! The jeans are ACNE for men .... Kiss
thanks for the comment, i'm so glad it's led me to your blog which i think is beautiful in presentation and full of well written and interesting content - i will be back!
and you have have shown me the only pair of louboutins i would ever consider wearing - i seriously never thought i'd ever say that!
from that little glimpse it looks as though you have fantastic style.
and the ann d boots - i tried to leave them behind but it haunted me so much that that last pair would end up with someone else that i snuck out of work to go and buy them! how lame is that?

Mathilde: So, you're not a Louboutin girl? He has created beautiful shoes in the past ... especially the retro python stilettos!
I really like your outfits. And LOVE the clutch..
You seem to have fantastic style, please do show it more often. ;)

Bohoatwist1: Thank you, that's so sweet of you!
Thesearchforchic: Merci, that's super nice of you ... Hope you're enjoying your time in the French capital!
darling, you look so lovely!
i only wish i could pull off mens wear as easily as you can.
everythings so slouchy & perfect.
ive felt for a long time the same way you have about "outfit posting", as with your blog mine is also not about pleasing people, its always been about what i like & what my thoughts are on various subjects & things that i love.
i found that posting a little outfit post here & there is just perfect. that way everyone can see how your style relates in real life without it becoming just another outfit posting blog, hee.
i must say it again - you look fabulous.
love xxxx
