New winter boots

Last week while we were in Biarritz for a few days, we drove down to Bilbao where I discovered these gorgeous winter boots before we went to the Guggenheim. It was love at first sight! I love the combo of black and brown of these boots, the design, and how comfortable they were. Unfortunately, they didn’t have my size in-store so I tracked them down online when I got back home. Sadly, the boots looked sold out online in my size. I loved them so much that was about to order a size down until I got an email alert saying they were back in stock! I’m pretty sure they will sell out soon so I just wanted to share them with you. They look fab and will be a nice upgrade to go with a pair of jogging or these nice cashmere leggings I’ve also ordered in greige. If you miss out on these boots, here are a few you may like

When it comes to stylish, fun, affordable fashion must-haves, Hush Homewear is my go-to brand. They always have fantastic knitwear and dresses and they deliver around the world. As the HUSH SALE is on, here is a round-up of all my favourites, should you wish to grab a bargain ;-) To be updated on the latest blog posts. please follow me on Bloglovin’ or sign up to my E-news. #1: The grey marl jumper Grey jumpers and sweatshirts are my guilty pleasures. The pile goes up and down in my wardrobe but it remains my colour of predilection. This grey marl lurex jumper (£99 now £50) ticks several of my boxes. It comes in a beautiful, soft grey (first box ticked!) but has also lurex stripes which fulfil my second guilty pleasure: sequins & glitter and happy people like glitter ;-) Its cut makes it the perfect item to wear over boyfriend jeans during the day or at weekends. In the evening, I would pair it with black trousers and a pair of Chilton heels or gold slingback pumps (loving these heels from Prada) BUY IT NOW …

Organic Basics – Basically better made

Published by BODIE and FOU Style Blog

Have you heard of Organic Basics before? It’s a Danish brand created in 2015 which designs and produces sustainable, better made basics. Like me, they think fashion produces too much waste and that there is a better way of doing things, of consuming things and enjoying fashion. In the case of Organic Basics, that means better fabrics and basics like t-shirts, socks and underwear that last longer. It’s a no brainer I think. You can also trust the Danes to come up with some fantastic branding and packaging to deliver the message in style. Isn’t this soft pink packaging gorgeous!? I love the colour so much that I think I’m gonna recycle it and re-use it to store things. With its big white logo on brown padded envelope, the Arket mail order packaging is pretty cool too. I’ve ordered the organic complete pack which includes 2 briefs, 1 pretty triangle bra and 1 basic soft t-shirt. They currently have some Christmas packs for her here and for men here. I had a full on day dealing with …

The Winter coat I swear by

Published by BODIE and FOU Style Blog

I’m not one to have dozens of winter coats in my wardrobe. To tell you the truth, I get stressed out when I can’t see what is in my wardrobe and it overflows with clothing. If you are like me, read these 15 helpful tips to declutter your home. My Autumn Winter coat capsule includes at the most 5 pieces which already sounds too much… Two Winter coats (the new one & one purchased 2/3 seasons ago), a 10 years-old timeless trench coat from Comptoir des Cotonniers (really loving the style of this Arket trench), a raincoat and now a parka so I can watch Mila surfing in the winter time. SHOP MY FAVOURITE TRENCH COATS THIS SEASON For the past two years, I wore an oversized coat from Monki that I really loved. This season, I fell in love with this belted coat from H&M. Based on the cost per wear (£119.99), it has proven to be a good investment already! Belted coats really enhance your waist and give you that extra confidence in your step. I …

Published by BODIE and FOU Style Blog

In less than a year, the NEW brand on the block ARKET has established itself as the go-to brands for timeless, simple and beautifully made fashion staples and their collection keeps getting better. The latest brand launched by the Swedish giant H&M, joins the ranks of other brands we love: Monki for quirky, fun fashion, COS for minimal pieces and & Others Stories – a brand whose branding I adore but I have to admit, I often struggle to find things that would work for me (how about you!?) However, finding things in ARKET is defo not an issue! Oh no!! In fact, as the ARKET SALE IS ON, I’ve selected 10 staple pieces that grace the wardrobes of us French women because I think you will love them. #1: The black fitted shirt When I saw this beautiful black shirt, I immediately thought of Emmanuelle Alt (Editor of the French VOGUE). I’m sure you’ve seen a few pictures of Emmanuelle Alt on Pinterest. If you haven’t, you can follow the new Pinterest board I dedicated to her style here. BUY IT NOW …

#weekly fashion edit

Published by BODIE and FOU Style Blog

After fighting a sore throat and the beginning of the flu, I’m finally on the mend and off to Hossegor for a few days to see Mila who is taking part in the bodyboard French championships. Quite a big thing since she has only recently starting bodyboarding. A part of me is super proud and the other part is a bit freaked out. Last time she took part in a competition (her first), she came 4th which was fantastic but the waves were 1.5m high and the ocean was pretty agitated and this week looks like it’s gonna be the same if not worse so will see. Anyway…I had started my board with this navy coat which is very similar to the one I’m wearing here but then, I came across this beautiful cream coat (2). Cream coats always look very chic and this one is perfect to wear over a pair of frayed jeans or wool trousers if you want to go for the cream on the cream look. Given the weather and our needs for warmth, …

#weekly fashion edit

Every fall season, I lust after something in leopard print like this Clare V. clutch … Here I wear a pair of leopard heels from Isabel Marant which I grabbed in the sale two Summers ago and I also own a pair of leopard ankle boots from L.K. Bennett bought years ago, which haven’t aged. So my point is that whatever you invest in this season, leopard print is something that will come back EVERY season. This season, I bet on this beautiful leopard print coat (1) from Hush, which you can wear over a pair of skinny jeans, pleated skirt or leather trousers (5) It’s a total matter of personal choice (and age) but when it comes to wear leopard print, I try not to mix it with leather + high heels + red lipstick. For some reasons, I have this vision of Peggy Mitchell from Eastenders in my head, which will probably means nothing to those outside the UK but I’m very conscious of not looking like that when I wear leopard print. There is a …
