Filles a papa

Among the bizarro gifs and half-naked chicks on my Tumblr feed the other day, I came across Belgian label Filles à papa and noticed right away how much their designs align with my own ideals in dressing and overall wardrobe personality. Conceived and designed by two sisters, the brand is playful, rebellious, and liberated; a bit sexy but boyish at the same time. They've succeeded at creating a new chemistry for modern girls, collapsing boundaries between formal and casual wear and blending "day" and "night" into one. I applaud them at making sequins look gritty and edgy...I mean tomboys wanna sparkle sometimes too! Peep their sale going 5.29 to 6.2.

Another one bites the dust

Coming across Veronique Branquinho was like finding that one shell good enough to take home from the beach. Maybe I'm reminded of that feeling because of the stunning prints of sunsets, the ocean, and other geological wonders adorning pieces in this spring collection. I mean, aren't these stunning?? It figures that just as I'm discovering the 11 year-old Belgian label, I also learn that it's folding. The Fall 09 season was their last, so there's probably a pretty amazing sale going on at their flagship store in Antwerp...if you happen to be anywhere near there.
