FALL OOTD

Hello my fellow friends, welcome back!

Since we are in Fall I thought that I would make an outfit post for you. 

So today I went out with my family and it was quite a lovely day although it got a little cloudy. The weather is always changing and the heat hasn't completely left us so I still wanted to wear something light. 

The top (from F&F) is very light and filled with colourful flower patterns. the good thing about it is that you can also adjust the lengths of the sleeve; So lets say it got a bit chillier, I could just roll the sleeves down.
The pair of jeans I am wearing (from Terranova) are most probably my favourite pair. These jeans are very stretchy and comfortable and are also ripped.
That rose gold watch I bought from ebay for a very reasonable price.
Both my white pearl earrings and my small cute pink clutch bag are from the local market.
And lastly those shoes! They are white heels with an adjustable strap (from New Look).

 Hope you will have a lovely week and thank you very much for reading,

Saints,love and Mediterranean lights

Last Saturday, (8th October, 2016)  I had the chance to witness the breathtaking F/W 2016 collection entitled "Saints,love and Mediterranean lights" by Charles & Ron. The designers hosted this show together with the Birkirkara local council and Hospice Malta. The event took place in Saint Helen Square, Birkirkara, the designer's hometown. 
The show was accompanied by the two Birkrkara band clubs: Duke of Connaught's Band Own and Saint Helen Band.

Charles & Ron were fascinated by the colourful lights that lit the church during the local Birkirkara feast. These lights can be seen in a couple of their designs. They also included St.Helen's crown in some other designs. The colours: Cardinal Pink, Saffron Yellow and Warm Red mixed with black made the pieces to stand out. Along with different materials the designers definitely made the designs unique. 

Some models also walked out with bags included in this collection. These bags are so beautiful and different in so many levels. They are colourful just like the clothes but they also have studs, are made with different materials and a variety of sizes. My two favorite bags have to be the 'Saint' one and the 'Mini Queen' bag. 

These are some pictures that I managed to take during the show. Hope you enjoy as much as I did!!!

                               A very big Well done to Both Charles and Ron

Gran Gala Della Moda

Last week on Saturday in Valletta there was the Gran Gala Della Moda. This event was hosted by the Chamber of Fashion Malta (under the patronage of the Italian Embassy in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute in Valletta, the Maltese Chamber of Commerce.)

This took place in Saint George's Square, in front of the beautiful Grand Master's Palace.

Three designers showcased their works on this night, two of which were Italian and the other Maltese.

First up was Gianni Molaro. In his collection he incorporated a lot of colours but I guess the most shown was the yellow and the black. He added also colours such as red, blue and white. Sparkles were the main thing, almost on every piece.

Next up was the Maltese designer Luke Azzopardi and the name of the colection is "The Opium Addict". Luke Azzopardi added a lot of yellow and green and mixed with white and black amongst other colours. the embellishments he used made the dresses look more unique.
