Bloggers, clothes, dj, drinks and cupcakes at Vide-dressing du Café de la Presse

On Friday we went to Vide-dressing du Café de la Presse, an event which involved bloggers, clothes, a dj, drinks and, of course, cupcakes. The perfect combination to gather up a cool young crowd from Brussels enjoying the much awaited warmth of a May evening. While enjoying an Aperol and coveting  the blogger's wardrobes we met the super cute girls from My boy is not a hipster and discussed about a collaboration between our blogs. Hopefully you'll see it soon on The Girls with the Rose Colored Glasses.
Laura took out for a spin the coolest leather pants in town, of course, from Alchimie. We improvised a quick photoshoot on our way home and now, reviewing the photos, we noticed it seems almost as if the city was deserted. That's part of the magic, I guess.
A full weekend sounds like a good plan for us, so that's what we're doing, in case someone's wondering. Have a nice one you all, wherever you might be while reading this post.

Love,

Laura&Elena

Spoiled kids&magnolia trees

When was the last time you went out to grab a coffee in a lazy Saturday afternoon and you suddenly saw an amazingly quiet oasis with the most beautiful magnolia trees and you knew you HAD to stop and take a couple of photos? Well, it happens to us all the time:)). And just like spoiled kids, we didn't miss the opportunity to play a bit in front of the camera. The truth is that, what we love most when spending time with each other, is the genuine fun and laughters that brighten up our days. After all, isn't this what friendship is all about?
Meanwhile, May is lining up as a busy month for the two of us. It's gonna be packed up with new beginnings (especially for the brunette half of the blog), with traveling and nonetheless with a lot of work. Soon you'll be able to see us in a blog post dedicated to Alchimie, in which we'll be wearing pieces from the collection. So stay tuned!

Love,

Laura&Elena

Introduction to ALCHIMIE

A few posts ago, when making our big "entrance" after the break, we mentioned we had some news but didn't disclose much at the time. The time has come to let you know about the little project that the blonde half of the blog, with the help of the brunette half, of course, has put in place. It's called Alchimie, and it's a clothing line using genuine leather as main material for creating fashionable, timeless pieces. You know how best ideas arise from a lack of something that determines you to find your own solution? Well, Laura was searching for quite some time for a perfectly fitted pair of genuine leather pants with a decent price, when the idea to design them herself arose.
A trip to Istanbul and a couple of months later (and a serious amount of work) and you can finally see the result. Of course, there are many things to add, like for example that each piece is named after a famous street in Paris and the name of the line itself, Alchimie, is the french word for the philosophical tradition who's practitioners claimed to have found the elixir of youth. Or the fact that all garments are designed with utmost care and adapted to current bodyshapes so that they fit impeccable.
The Alchimie line is available to shop online here, via the Facebook Shop, and here.
We would be more than happy to hear what you think about the line so don't hesitate to write us!

Love,

Laura&Elena
