Charles & Ron at Nolcha Fashion Week: Wired Bloom
It does not happen often that Maltese fashion designers get to showcase their collection outside the miniscule island, let alone in New York. Yet, Charles & Ron managed to accomplish this twice at the Nolcha Fashion Week this month and last September.
On the 15th of February, the designer-duo honored the Ones to Watch runway show with their Fall '15 Wired Bloom collection. The collection was mainly composed of black, green and purple hues, while giving a classic and elegant twist to florals. The traditional Maltese ganutell also featured in this collection.
Wired Bloom took the Internet by storm, generating tweets and articles about the designers. Issue Now Global on Twitter listed Charles & Ron as one of the top mentioned designers above Rodarte, while also being featured on the Fashion Times.
Daniela Aciu, Hanna Nitsch, Gabi Kniery, Sydney aka Stink, and Jennifer Daniel were among the models that graced the runway.

Birthday & Christmas came early: Charles & Ron Bucket Bag
A week before my birthday and two weeks before Christmas, I decided to take the plunge and stop lusting after THE bucket bag that has been besieging me for a few weeks at work.
I have been trying to find a bucket bag for quite a while, but never really found one that caught my eye, or thought is worth buying. However, on the 1st of November I attended the Charles & Ron pre-fall 2015 fashion show, and saw this green metallic beauty being modelled by model Daniela Aciu. Post-fashion show, I kept eying it at the shop every time I went in for work.
It is not the cheapest of bucket bags, but considering that it is real leather and such a statement piece, I see it accompanying me to the upcoming December events, and the many months to come. Plus, I am proud that my first high-end designer bag is by Malta's renowned fashion designers, Charles & Ron.
Also, in 2015 I will be putting myself on a shopping ban. I decided that I am going to be spending less on materialistic items, and more on experiences and travelling. I still have three weeks left, but I am sure this bangin' treat will keep me satiated for a few more months into 2015.
Have you treated yourself to anything special this Christmas?

THE WISHLIST: BOOKS
Not the kind of post I would upload on my blog, but I feel that the following books do kinda relate to the world of fashion and beauty.
I have always felt intrigued by this influential woman and how she came to create the legendary and infamous wrap dress. However, since I started watching the series House of DVF on E!, I have become obsessed with reading her book. I am always inspired by powerful and innovative women who achieve the best they can in terms of a fulfilling life.
"But I am a girl with a keen interest in having it all, and what follows
are hopeful dispatches from the frontlines of that struggle."
This is all it took to convince me to buy the book.
From what I can gather, this is the story of a girl who started from the very bottom and worked her way to the top. It is more enjoyable to actually read about a real person's success rather than searching for inspirational articles online (we've all been there).
Although this is not an actual biography, I have discovered Zoella on YouTube around three years ago, and have been a loyal follower ever since. It almost feels wrong not purchasing her book. Although I am assuming that it does have episodes relating to Zoe's life, such as the panic attacks and having a blog, the story is a fictional novel which would be an excellent read along with a cup of tea to wind down at the end of the day.

The Warmth Component: Winter Knitwear
The weather in Malta has took a turn, and rain and strong winds await us for the next couple of days. While some may say it may not be that cold, I am definitely guilty of browsing the knitwear section both online and in retail stores. I may even be wrapping myself in some of mine for tomorrow's morning lecture.
Some may complain about being stuck in a rut in winter due to always covering up in the same jacket or coat. Without abandoning your sense of style, see some of my favourite knitwear selections below.
