Pare Gabia, espadrilles and wedges

Who would have imagined that, in just a few seasons, that the espadrille would become a must-have item for fashionistas? And yet, that's the case! Among the brands who have started this phenomenon, Pare Gabia is one of the legendary brands that have made the style popular.

Even though the canvas uppers and raffia sole traditionally found on espadrilles has been preserved, Pare Gabia favours and highlights femininity with additional details: wedge heels, bows on the ankle, and a stylish sandal shape. Pare Gabia proposes models that combine a natural look with a bohemian inspiration, perfect for fans of the hippie-chic trend. 

Diamonds are a girls best friend

It's often said that diamonds are a girl's best friend. I didn't invent it: the glamorous Marilyn Monroe sang it loud and clear in the song "Diamonds are a girl's best friend!" It's often said that shoes are a must for city girls, fashionistas, and other trendsetters. When brands design shoes with stylish precious stones, we can't help but love them!

Shiny pearls, luminous jewels, luxurious pearls, and eye-catching sequins have been put at your feet. Sandals, wedges, and flats all come with these wonderful additions which turn them into veritable pieces of jewellery.

And after all, what could be better for fashion princesses? Here's a small selection to offer yourself a river of diamonds without the hefty price tag!






Game, Set, and Match!

The French Open has started .... one of our favourite tennis tournaments of the year (behind Wimbledon of course...). Time for canvas trainers and sport-chic outfits. The "Roland Garros" style is definitely in.

With the start of the tournament, shops have been showing off the colours of the world famous tournament. Tennis courts, green and orange signs ..... The fashion world has gone all out! As for us, we simply love the trend. Perfect for playing on centre court or simply handing out with friends.

For Men

First, opt for the Ray Ban Clubmaster. Second, put on a polo shirt (Lacoste if possible) and a chic pair of trousers. Lastly, put on an impeccable pair of trainers.



For women!

White is a must! And the polo dress as well .... If you prefer, you can also try out a short pleated skirt (white of course), a throwback to the '30s.

United Nude, Irregular Choice & Iron Fist: Three completely unique brands

In the crazy world of fashion, we all have our favourites picked out. For some, it's all about liberty, while for others, nothing is better than nude, and for some fashionistas, it's all about ethnic prints. Whether you are a fashionista or casual girl, everyone takes the latest trends and makes them work for her own style.

In this trend wave, some brands have imposed their own style, defying the laws of fashion and adding a creative touch to our outfits. These collections are only for the most creative fashionistas, those who aren't afraid to stand out and know how to mix and match styles. Even though we are stylish, you can't wear these models on every occasion and they certainly don't go with everything in your wardrobe. 

Three unique brands have gone off the beaten path to impose their unique styles at your feet. Here's a spotlight on United Nude, Irregular Choice and Iron Fist...





The Cannes Film Festival: Affordable Red-Carpet Models

The 64th edition of the Cannes Film Festival has started. Legendary actors and actresses, glamorous artists, and a stylish president... It's our favourite event of the year!

No matter what we would like to believe, we are much more interested in the dresses and fashion than the latest Korean film selected by the jury (please note - I have absolutely nothing against Korean films!) We, the modest fashionistas who love everything that shines, we love drooling over the sexy furs that Uma wears and the high heels of Angelina. Even though we don't have the bank account of Mrs. Cruise, we can still show off our style from time to time.

Just for you, we've put together a selection of celebrity shoes at affordable prices. Be a star!

Canvas trainers: opt for colour!

Just because the majority of trainers are timeless and multi-seasonal, that doesn't mean that there aren't trainers dedicated to certain times of the year. In my opinion, high-tops and suede leather trainers are perfect for winter thanks to their warm style. But as soon as it gets warm and the sun comes out, the low-top canvas trainer is an absolute must have. 

They are perfect for almost any occasion, no matter what time of the day. The must? To match the colour to the circumstance. For the office, opt for simplicity with a nice chocolate brown. A day of shopping with the girls? Go stylish with pale pink! A walk by the beach? Blue is a must. And if it's a little grey outside, opt for the warmth of a nice yellow pair.

Flowers at your feet!

So springlike, flowers are blooming in our wardrobes and are placed delicately at our feet. We love romantic flip-flops, bucolic wedges, and poetic clogs! 

The birds are singing, trees are blooming, and bees are buzzing ... it's definitely spring! The season of flowers and butterflies, the season where we can finally show off our painted toenails after a (very) long winter period. Designers know exactly what we want and have delivered an excellent collection of bucolic shoes. There's the liberty print that needs no introduction - be careful not to overdo it - as well as shoes designed with XXL flowers. It goes without saying that we simply can't get enough. Pretty, feminine, and a change from liberty prints (don't worry - we have nothing against it!), these styles are so chic. Take a look!

Spring/Summer trends for little feet!

Because fashion is for everyone, kids also have the right to their very own trend forecast! Let's take a look at the colours and models that little trendsetters will love wearing all summer long. Summer nuances in khaki, silver, and white along with comfortable and basic styles are a must.

Khaki for boys is also perfect for girls. On trainers, flats, or sandals, khaki always gives off a casual look that goes with any outfit.  A must have, little ones love the cool and casual look, while mums adore the colour that doesn't get dirty too quickly.

The New Wave of Espadrilles

We thought these shoes would never be back in style. We thought they were one of the least trendy styles out there, only to be worn if you are on holiday in the south of France. And yet, to our surprise, they can be found all over the city, even becoming a source of inspiration for designers and stylists.

"They" are espadrilles. Once a "has been" model, they've taken advantage of summer 2011 to become a fashion icon this season. As such, you can find the style raffia sole on wedges, with uppers in fun patterns, and sometimes even laces that tie around the ankle. With regards to comfort, you can always count on this style.

My little loafers and mocassins...

As we announced a few weeks ago, loafers have made a comeback! And your little angels can also adopt the trend as many brands have adapted this adult model to the size and shape of little feet. 

Whether inspired by the seaside or copies of mum's and dad's, loafers and moccasins are a must for little ones this season. Easily wearable and trendy, parents and children can't get enough of their comfortable style, practical design, and trendy look. They are easy to put on and take off, can be worn without socks with a pair of jeans, shorts, or even a pretty skirt for a preppy look. They have it all!

Raffia or Wood?


Well, one thing is for sure, wedges are a MUST for summer. But, it's hard to decide between wooden soles and raffia wedges.... A seaside look for one, and '60s inspired look for the other ...  it's a tough choice to make. Maybe I'll just get both!

Without a doubt, you must have a pair of wedges in your wardrobe this summer. Since their comeback last summer, they are everywhere! Designed with either a wooden or raffia sole, they exude authenticity and have a great vintage look. Much more comfortable than stilettos and high heeled sandals, we love wearing them like Jane Birkin with a pair of high-waisted flared jeans, or more '50s inspired with a pair of cropped trousers.

Wooden soles, a callback to the '60s (a loose fitting dress is highly recommended!)

Say YES to liberty!

Full skirts, the wind in your hair, and tanned skin - these are some of the first things we think of when we think of summer. This season's must-have print, liberty prints can be worn from morning until night, both with chic outfits and more casual looks. Put some of the little flowers at your feet, for a trendy and fresh look.


The season of warm weather and long days, a period of relaxation and calm, we love the long days of summer that seem to go on forever. We barely even want to worry about what we are going to wear, and pick out our outfits depending on our mood. As such, we obviously go for simple and feminine styles. Liberty is one of our favourites, and we love seeing the print on both comfortable flats and high wedge heels.

Be my dandy...

If Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl and Don Draper from Mad Men inspire you, then you are definitely ready for the dandy look. Easy to wear every day, it can be both cool and chic depending on the occasion - from a night out with friends to a day at the office. It's all about choosing the right accessory. With jeans or a business suit, it's the shoes that make the dandy!



Stylish, eye-catching, refined ..... this is exactly what you need. Forget classic derbies and versatile cuts, and opt for elongated forms inspired from Italian footwear, and uppers with unusual treatments: patent-leather, laser-cuts, shiny accessories in either silver or gold....
