Mais Il Est Où Le Soleil? Snood Giveaway!

At last I can tell y'all about my cool co-op with Belgian brand Mais il est où le soleil? (meaning: but where's the sun? very fitting for typical Belgian weather, I can guarantee you)! I was contacted by their PR person to come over to the store to check out MIEOLS' new F/W 2011 collection and style an outfit to take home with me, squee! But be sure to read on, as there's something in it for you too... ;-)

Kim, Afrodite, Mieke and me were welcomed with fresh OJ and pastry, after which we got a store-tour led by one of the designers behind the brand explaining the concept behind the new Ba-rock-mantique collection.

 I was totally won over by the concept of layering pieces to create original silhouettes complimenting your very own style and taste. We didn't need a lot of encouraging to start playing around with the pieces ourselves, so into the dressing rooms we went!

The very first piece I put on was love at first sight: a fuschia velvet dress with a bow print and an asymmetrical hem. Very glam rock/David Bowie meets Shakespeare! :-D I added one of the collection's iconic tutu dresses underneath for layering and finished the look off with these suspender-biker shorts: perfect to go along with all of my over knee socks! I'll be wearing these allll the time, I'm sure.

As proved by the four bloggers creating four very distinctive looks, there's absolutely something for all kinds of different women at MIEOLS! One piece we all ended up with was this lovely handknitted multicolor and multiyarn snood, another iconic piece in the new collection. Because of the different colors it goes with loads of outfits, and the big snood shape allows every owner to drape it in their very own way: perfect to go along with this interactive collection! Check out the full collection with all the different layering pieces here.

socks: H&M

loafers: River Island

Sadly, this next part about winning this beautiful snood is only relevant to my Belgian readers, so I'm switching to the Belgian explanation here. Sorry guys!
