Susie Bubble Fashion Weeks Street Style - dancing to the beat of her own music Pt 3 - my pics of her outside Chanel Haute Couture


I have been following Susie Bubble for the longest time, including when she was posting pictures on MyStyleDiary (before she was THE Susie Bubble).  Back in the day she also used to comment here, and even wrote to me a couple of times.  So I was particularly tickled to see her outside Chanel's Couture show during Paris Couture Week, especially since she was wearing the Dries Van Noten skirt she had blogged about a month or so earlier, and that I had actually seen in Dries' flagship store the day before (in all its beaded/embroidered glory - sadly, the 36 was the only size missing on the racks, which was slightly on sale too).  I was just about to muster the courage to go up and say hi, when I heard my name being called...by none other than Peut-être magazine photographer/creative-director/editor-in-chief Nathalie Malric, whom I was there to meet.  Susie, maybe next time?

Emanuelle Alt outside Palais de Tokyo - Paris Couture Week 2013


Here are the pictures of Emmanuelle Alt I promised in my previous post.  After seeing her outside Chanel's Haute Couture show (pics in aforementioned post) I saw her later again in the afternoon at Alexander Vauthier's Couture show during Paris Couture Week.  I was (pleasantly) surprised to see her relaxing in the foyer of the 'Palais de Tokyo', with a young kid climbing around them before the show, and then snapped her again after the show...



all pics by me

Shop Emmanuelle Alt's look:
Jacket: Saint Laurent (available here and here), Jeans: J Brand 811 in shadow (don't know that EA's are these, but I have these, and love them - available here), T-shirt: Helmut Lang here, Pumps: Balmain (available here) or Gianvito Rossi (available here).

Emmanuelle Alt and I outside Chanel - Paris Haute Couture Week 2013


Ok, so the title is very slightly misleading, as I'm not actually with Emmanuelle Alt outside Chanel's Paris Couture show, but I did see her, and snapped some pics to share here. I also saw her later in the day, but will save those photos for another post... I was so excited about seeing 'The Alt', I completely didn't realize Barbara Martelo was also in front of me, until I got home and saw her in my pic on the computer screen.


 Chloe by Phoebe Philo dress, Dries Van noten sandals, Helmut Lang blazer, Chanel reissue bag and Ray Ban folding Wayfarer sunglasses

 Wanted to use my Dries Van Noten embellished clutch, but opted for the more practical Chanel reissue, as it was to be a long day...
 sans blazer...

This was a beautiful 'door' outside a very gorgeous (and posh) store...isn't it beautiful?
And there she is...and Barbara Martelo in the red leather pants.
Grabbed some fish tartare after the show, before Stephane Rolland's show
 The Alt
Mr Brigs had some escargots...when in France...

all pics by yours truly

(the blurry one being from my iPhone - my dress in the beautiful apartment in Marais)

Christine Centenera Pt 4 - Aussie Aussie Aussie! The day CC (me) saw CC (Christine Centenera) outside CC (Coco Chanel) Couture show during Paris Couture Week


I know I am months behind with this post.  I cannot believe NYFW is already almost over and I haven't even posted a single photo of Paris Couture week!  I still haven't reacquired Photoshop, so I just 'shrank' my photos on iPhoto, better late than never, right?

I thought I'd start with the second day of Paris Couture week, which started with the Chanel Couture show at the Grand Palais.  Seeing fashionistas and Fashion Editors I had only seen in magazines and online previously in the flesh, was like seeing my 'rock stars', I was 'fashion struck', haha.  Mr Brigs was with me, and when Christine Centenera came out, I asked him: Oh my goodness, do you know who that was?  I was referring to the fact that we had chatted to her brother and sister-in-law at a friend's wedding not too long ago, but he said: "yeah! That girl from the Les Mis movie!" (he was referring to Samantha Banks as Eponine, hahaha!)

Anyway, how gorgeous is Christine's Burberry Prorsum coat, and gorgeous outfit under it? The simple white tee, the beautifully cut and detailed leather skirt, and those heels!

More pics of Paris Couture week to come, so watch this space...

Oversized billowy sleeves...


 Lil' Brigs #1's room, love the wall stickers from Tiny Me
Went for a little browse at the Scanlan & Theodore store
 They always have the best sofa, and this new one is so gorgeous (pic doesn't do it justice)

 When I got back I needed my 2nd double shot of coffee...(I usually only have one, was running out of steam)
 The dress isn't that long, I just pulled it over my legs, trying to show how oversized the sleeves are on this Stella McCartney dress...
Don't let its simple appearance fool you: Felicia's 'special' consists of alternating layers of vanilla sponge, fresh whipped cream, dulce de leche caramel, peach slices and a layer of fresh meringue...yuuuummm!
Outfit of the day: Stella McCartney oversized turteneck mohair dress (a few seasons old), Louis Vuitton Elise Epi wallet, Jimmy Fairly glasses, Chloe Susanna black boots (available HERE, HERE, and HERE), Proenza Schouler Classic PS11 in black bag (available at Net-a-Porter HERE, HERE and directly from Proenza Schouler HERE).

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend!
