Princess Late evening shopping SS15

Thursday night I was invited to Antwerp fashion paradise. Princess, one of Belgian's best known couture retailers, organised a late evening shopping event. I was presented at last year's event with Sofie Valkiers' Little Black Book presentation as highlight. This event was so much fun so I couldn't say no when my invitation arrived in the mailbox. 

This time around the attention was completely on the clothes with a fashion show including brands such as Michael Kors, Essentiel, Moschino, Valentino,.. Oh boy do I wish I got my salary twice a month ;-) The attendants could also participate in workshops from YSL beauty, Balmain hair, Dermatologica,.. and discover the vintage goodies from Labelcrush. Thank you Princess for this amazing evening! Below you can see some looks from the fashion show.

PS: Sorry for the crappy Iphone picture quality but my SD card got damaged right before this event and I didn't have time to replace it :(

NL: Donderdagavond was ik uitgenodigd in het modeparadijs van Antwerpen. Princess, één van Belgisch bekendste couture retailers, organiseerde een shoppingavond. Ik was vorig jaar aanwezig bij het evenement dat in het teken stond van de lancering van Sofie Valkiers! Little Black Book. Dit evenement was zo gezellig dus ik twijfelde geen seconde toen mijn uitnodiging voor dit jaar binnen kwam in de mailbox.

Deze keer draaide het volledig om de nieuwe collectie, die werd getoond in een modeshow, met merken zoals Michael Kors, Essentiel, Moschino, Valentino,... Wat zou ik toch graag tweemaal per maand mijn loon ontvangen ;-) De aanwezigen konden deelnemen aan workshops van YSL beauty, Balmain haar, Dermatologica,... en de vintage goederen van Labelcrush ontdekken. Bedankt aan Princess voor deze geweldige avond! Hieronder zien jullie enkele looks uit de modeshow.

PS: Sorry voor de slechte Iphone fotokwaliteit maar mijn SD kaart geraakt net voor dit evenement beschadigd en ik had geen tijd om het te vervangen :(

Q: Which look is your favourite?

Shoplog #4

Another week, another shoplog. Last week I attended Fashionata's ladies night in one of the most amazing stores in Belgium: Princess. During this night everybody got offered a 10 % discount. Now wouldn't it be a shame to not use this discount? As a real fashion addict I take every reason to shop.

As you know, I have been eying a Kenzo sweater for quite some time now but they always sell out so quickly and I don't always have to time to ride to Antwerp, which is about a 3h drive in total for me.
Luckily Princess had a huge supply of Kenzo items during the Fashionata's ladies night. I fell in love with the grey tiger sweater and luckily the size fitted me perfectly.

I can totally see myself wearing this sweater combined with some other casual items like a jeans or black leather pants. I also love how the sweater is very soft inside.

Princess has also a big range of Michael Kors items and you know I really adore this brand. It's so classy and from a very high quality. So you can imagine I really doubted between the Kenzo sweater and a new Michael Kors bag. In the end I decided not to buy a bag, for now, because I already have so many bags. 

Somehow it seems that my mother and I are mentally connected because she bought a Michael Kors bag that exact same day. It's a small brown cross body bag which comes really in handy with the kick-off from the festival season.

EVENT: Fashionata's Ladies night

My favourite Belgian fashion blog by far is Fashionata by Sofie Valkiers. She has accomplished already so much like designing her own clothing line for Essentiel, collaborating with Jimmy Choo and being noticed by numerous international fashion magazines.

Sofie being interviewed

Reading her blog always leaves me with a very positive feeling, you can really tell she loves her job. And she really is the best at it. On her blog she also gives you a great inside into the fashion world which is very interesting definitely during fashion week.

My signed copy from The Little Black Book

Last year Fashionata introduced her Ladies night. Unfortunately I couldn't attend the previous one so I knew I just had to be there this year. The event this year was extra special due to the launch of Sofie Valkier's first book: "The Little black Book". This book should give us further inside into the fashion adventures from Sofie and is accompanied by some amazing pictures of her.

Together with Krizia from Shark Attack I made the trip all the way to Antwerp. The venue for this event was the Princess store on the Meir which all of you fashion addicts of course know as the paradise which sells brands such as Kenzo, Love Moschino, Michael Kors,...but also for their amazing shop interior.

Very delicous cocktail which added to the metropolitan feeling

We were welcomed very warmly by Sofie and her team and delicious cocktails were offered to us immediately. While buying the ticket for this event, everyone could choose one beauty class they wanted to attend. I chose for the OPI class because I love nail art and it's something I'm not really good at. Other work shops were a Balmain hair class, L'oréal hair chalk class and a MAC work shop.

The OPI nailbar powered by the Lak Store Antwerp

The OPI work shop was organised by the people from the Lak Store Antwerp. They were really nice and took plenty of time. The girl who did my nails advised me about some products I could use to improve the quality of my nails, some personal advice is always much appreciated. I'm really glad there's a discount voucher in the goodie bag which I will be gladly spending at the Lak Store.

As you can see, there was plenty of choice. I eventuelly opted for the orange in the middle.

When the work shops were finished, Princess showed some items of their beautiful summer collection during a fashion show. Once again I mentally added some items on my wish list such as a small, pink Marc Jacobs bag.

Look which beauties I spotted while shopping at Princess

After the fashion show everyone took some time to enjoy the 10% discount on the whole collection. I finally bought the grey Kenzo sweater that I have been eying for quite some time now. I can't wait to show it during an outfit post.

Krizia and I left the party quite early because we still had a long drive home ahead of us. Of course we didn't leave without picking up our goodie bag. And I must admit that Sofie and her team know how to put together a goodie bag. The bag included her book of course, some great beauty products delivered by the different sponsors, a Kenzo notebook (from now on I can take notes in style!),...

Content of the goodie bag: Dior perfume, gift voucher Lak Store, mini books, Kenzo note book, Hair Chalk L'oreal, Sofie Valkier's Little Black Book, Balmain mirror,...

Did you attend the event as well? Let me know what you think about my report!
