Off the hook #Armistice

What's with all the showering lately?! It just doesn't stop raining, and I'm really getting sick of it. For me, it's definitely time to get my summer clothes out (and pleeeaaaassseee before the exams start!), including my summer shoes, like these babies. This pair of the French brand Armistice is already accompanying me for more than two years. I saw them in my favorite sneaker store in Lille and just had to have them. Not many words are needed: they are just the best shoes ever. They give my feet such a comfy feeling that I would never take them of again - sometimes I even wanna take them to bed with me. You can also buy the shoes online and that's handy if you're not able to plan a trip to Lille any time soon ;).

A touch of leather by Eleven Paris

This cardigan from Eleven Paris is one of the favorite pieces in my closet. I like the contrast between the fluffiness of the wool and the black leather sleeves. This French brand gained recognition with its well-know T-shirts from 'mustached celebrities'. But Eleven Paris has so much more to offer! For example this cosy sweater with an edgy touch. Check out their website and fall in love with this brand, just like I did... Or better: visit their shops in Brussels and Lille for the full experience ;)

Saint-Michel

Today a post about the brand Le Mont Saint-Michel! This work-wear brand was launched in 1913, just a few miles away from the famous abbey after which it was named. It was Caroline Lesaffre, emancipated and well ahead of her time, that decided to found a textile company which combined a factory and a school for young women whose fathers, brothers and husbands had not returned from the Great War. Lessafre's grandson, Patrice Milan, took the reins of the company in 1964, and modernized it by installing high-performance knitting machines. Today, Alexandre Milan owns the brand, after succeeding his father in 1998 and acquiring the trade name Le Mont Saint-Michel. Now the brand is known for its authentic vintage, blended with inspirations from rock music, chic and modern, that gave life to a French retro touch that lots of fashionistas (and me!) love... Enjoy!
