A great urban outfit! The distressed pencil skirt from Acne is a great piece, you can give this skirt any kind of style, wearing heels for a sexy touch, wearing these Miu Miu flats for something more low keyor some sandals with a tank top for a full summer touch. I particularly chose to add flats because I find it more contemporary and interesting. The Costume National Blazer can not be too long and has to be shorter than your hip bone otherwise the straight cut of the jacket will straighten your silhouette around the waist (and you don’t want your waist to be shapeless). Have a great wekend, CC

Made to walk in a sunny city, this outfit is fresh and dressed up. The pajama top from Bodas gives a special touch to this classic everyday look.I know pajamas were very trendy a few seasons ago but I always like to play with pieces that are not supposed to be paired with daily outfits.  And what about the white color? What would you choose between white and off white? The more elegant is off white, it has a certain depth that the white doesn’t have and compare to the white, it shows a soft contrast to the other pieces in your outfit. Plain white is completely cold and also gets dirty easily. So choose something off white rather than something white. Do the same for accessories.

Sporty Alexander Wang is definitely going to make it this Summer! Strong contrast, bright colors and shiny materials…This outfit is a way to turn your sporty pieces into city outfits. Concerning the colors, I took the Alexander Wang Short and made sure to find other pieces of these colors to add to my look. I extremely love the citrus colors mix. Pair yellow with orange, bright orange with bright red, go for the strong colors and contrast them with black. The Stella McCartney single breasted blazer with this deep plunge neckline is THE piece that will give this look a sexy city vibe! Elegant but sporty by its color, this blazer is definitely a master piece in this look. Go for the Alexander Wang booties looking like laced up sneakers on heels. It’s sporty, it’s bright and it’s sexy! Run for it!

This outfit will optimize your elegant and feminine side. The Erdem blouse with its navy lace across the shoulders and the matching pants are two pieces you can definitely wear together. Chic and feminine at one side then romantic on the other side with the laces, you will, for sure, get the right attention. Keep it simple with the accessories since the laces bring an interesting detail, take it easy with the accessories color and maybe bring some depth to your look by choosing some with patent leather like I did for the Louboutin sandals and the skinny YSL belt. Choose between tucking your blouse inside the pants or not, wear it with the belt or without. The pants is elegant enough and carry enough details to leave it simple.

Its all about lengths! A long Acne skirt, a long shoulder-strap on the Lanvin bag and a loose Lanvin shrug. The nonchalant look is really something that I like to compose with luxury items. Bringing luxury pieces to look simple and discreet is for me a great way to be the only one to enjoy what you have on your back. Only quality and cuts will bring your look to shine more. Tuck your Lanvin top in the skirt, wear the thin belt loose on your waist bringing some part of the shrug on top of the belt and wear flats. The gold derby shoes from Esquivel will light up your look and define the skirt length. Some flower power touches like the Valentino gold plated ring, the diamond violet necklace from Vanessa Kandiyoti and the silk flower on the Lanvin cashmere shrug.

When it comes to beauty or haircare, I always try to give my skin or hair to most natural and simple treatments. I have discovered Ren: the 100 % bio name to have in your bathroom. They mainly focus on skincare products but I have discovered something that really changed my life. I have tried tons of bio hair products and these 2 gave me the most amazing results. Soft hair with volume without adding any hair spray. For the moment they only sell online small recipients of 100ml but let’s cross fingers and hope that they will soon sell bigger sizes and provide them in stores! Thank you REN for this surprise delivery .

The first piece that I chose to build this look was the Balmain distressed flared jeans. It looks like your oldest jeans but at the same time has details like no other jeans have. For example, the  motocross- style knee seams and the gold-embossed snap-fastening sides from knee to hem. From there, I thought that having shapeless pieces on top, a pair of Isabel Marant sneakers and an easy bag like this Proenza Shouler satchel would be perfect to complete the look. The entire outfit is easy going but has this distressed touch, colors are around the fading effect (yellowish) on the jeans so anything that matches yellow is good.

If the YSL dress is your first pic, you should definitely go for a nautical look. Play with accessories that makes you feel on holidays! The Lanvin clip earrings are the perfect ones paired with the YSL gold plated ring and the red suede oxford shoes from Rag & Bone.

If you haven’t met Pascaline Smets, it is the right time to get closer to her! Her elegance, beautiful face and striking blue eyes reveal a strong personality. Shy at one side but hard worker and tough on the other side, she is the kind of girl that can handle everything at the same time. Driven by her passions, work is for her the best way to practice every dream she aspires in life. She chose to live and work for her passions and this is something that we have to fight for and cherish.

She deals with about 25 stores, Smets,  and is the only buyer. How does she carry so much on her shoulders, keep such a sweet and strong but down to earth personality? I guess she has something to share…

I have shot amazing portraits of her and visited the Belgian newborn concept store in Brussels: Smets ! The only place in Brussels where high fashion meets contemporary design and gastronomy. Shop for your closet, furnish your house and have a bite at the Bowery restaurant. You will feel like in Paris or New York! Enjoy.

Black and Green is one of my favorite combination! The leather short paired with the strapless bodysuit from Willow is a small contrast between the two of them! But because the leather short, by its color and material, gives this rock n’ roll attitude you end up giving your bodysuit the same attitude! You could have worn a tight pants with some heels but, as you know, I like to bring sexy pieces into something more suggested. So dressing up your bodysuit with a short, a black cardigan and a pair of Guiseppe Zanotti sandals will definitly bring a sexy touch to your rock outfit. Anyway rock is sexy
