Since i’ve realized that i was missing a short jacket, i’m completely obsessed with every single details on both coats and jackets. I find it particularly difficult to find a coat or a jacket that i think i’ll love to wear over several seasons and that looks not only great but also timeless.

Here is a small but diverse selection of what i’ve been loving/

So i guess that i could turn this long vintage coat found at the market into something shorter, the great thing is that it’s not really a fitted cut. Still hesitating with the details i’d add on it; leather patches, buckles, fake fur?

I don’t really know what motivated me to buy that thing that i still never wore, and that’s exactly why I’m really excited with this new project ; )

After having searched a pink knit sweater everywhere for a while- and finding nothing in shops, i thought i had nothing to loose looking at Ebay… And it has been worth it!

I’ve immediately find my dream cable knit sweater for a really shameful price. It’s a bit loose so i really have to wear it with a large belt -that i actually don’t have, so i’ve knotted 3 belts together to get something wider.

I’ve mixed it with a black pants and a designer white crystal ring, i’m really mad of it!

Vintage knit sweater found at Ebay, H&M pants and scarf, knotted belts from C&A, H&M and DIY, Paco Gil boots, Philippe Ferrandis ring.

nb. Actually i could have titled today’s post like “Snow Pink” as i’ve never seen so much snow of my life.

I wish you a nice week!

DIY Session for RTL TV, 3 Kleider zu nachmachen bei Virginie Peny

It still sounds surreal as i’ve been contacted to be part of this TV project on the german programm! That kind of soap that you watch without thinking that you could be one day part of it.

Because this DIY session of 3 designers dresses has been an entertainment: Alexa Chung in Pucci -you might know this one from here!, Olivia Palermo in Diesel and Eva Mendes in Miu Miu…

Showing people how easy and cheap it can be, with smart tricks and a structured know-how, but without exactly copying the original -you should know that it’s not my thing! Let me add that i’m used to work at home, so my atelier is normally not open to the public but you’ll find my products on Online shop here at Dawanda.

Many thanks to the RTL TV team, we’ve had a lot of fun!

Here are a few snap shots of this beautiful day in Innsbruck!

And you, which one of this dress is your favorite?

Have a wonderful weekend!

This is a vintage woven cap found at my Grandma’s home, i find it’s form so similar to Burberry’s Spring/ Summer collection!

I’m not sure that i’d would like to wear this big pompom on the top like on the original, that’s nice but i prefer to see it on the others, so i’d likely change the light ribbon against a larger and black satin one.

Well, if only this cap fitted me…
