Dear Frenchonista’s,
We have a give away for you! The winner of the Invito Shoe Design Challenge 2014, Monique Schraven, designed the winning shoe and we have it in size 38 (not a large 38, we might add) and it’s fabulous! It’s actually two pairs of shoes in one because you can wear it with or without ankle piece. It is high, classic, glamorous and Invito’s design challenge is right up our alley, because we love it when young designers get their chance to go into the spotlight.
Of course we hardly need to tell you to also check on www.invito.nl for other fabulous models that you can order today and wear tomorrow!
So like and share this post if you have a size 38 and…WIN!

Agent Provocateur: Sexy Season Awaits
Dear Frenchonista’s,
We’re pleased to announce that fall season is almost here. As we all know, once September Vogue is released, a whole new fashion awaits!
Agent Provocateur, offering sexy and exquisite lingerie, has just released its look-book for the new season. The wonderful shots are all signed by Christian Larson, and we love them. Think of lace, brodery and lots of sexy…
We also love the hero campaign, as top model Missy Ryder gives us a lesson on how to pose sexy yet mysterious. What better way to feel sexy and tanned?
Happy New Season!!
Mar, daydreaming with new fashion…

FLOSSY shoes – Shoes You’d Wish You Could Eat!
Dear Frenchonista’s,
We just love Flossy Shoes. You might have heard of them, because they exist since 25 years (first worn by sailors and the arts scene in Barcelona, then boomed in the Ibiza club scene and pretty soon everywhere), and this summer there are some amazing limited edition must-haves. The pineapple shoes are so yummy and they’re so comfy too. Then there’s the Classics, in all colors, and the stripes…and the polkadots…we want them ALL!

Harper’s Bazaar is coming to the Netherlands!!
Dear Frenchonista’s,
After Vogue now also one of the first fashion magazines of all times, Harper’s Bazaar, is coming to the Netherlands. The first edition will come out in September. We are very excited that yet another iconic fashion magazine will be launched in the Netherlands and since we’ve seen the team that’s on it (with Cecile Narinx as editor in Chief), we just know it will be successful.
A few weeks ago there was a wonderful opening with both Harpers Bazaar and the Kahmann Gallery in Amsterdam. The gallery joined forces with the magazine for the exhibition “New York New York” and everyone had an amazing time!
Keep an eye on the racks in September and don’t miss the first edition of our own Harper’s Bazaar!

My Brand Store opened In Amsterdam!!!
Dear Frenchonista’s,
Since June 19 we have a great new My Brand store right in the centre of Amsterdam. Frenchonista was there.
My Brand is Dutch, Cool, Young, Trendy, Daring and Playful. The great thing is that they have a new collection every 6-8 weeks so you’ll be sure to always find the latest fashion in prints. The opening was great, with many VIP guests like actor Ruud Feltkamp, Olympic swimmer Inge de Bruijn and stylist Bastriaan van Schaik.
My Brand has clothes for everyone: Women, children and men. In the new store they also have a new plus size men line so send your big boy over there for guaranteed style in his size!
Go check it out on the corner of Kalverstraat and Heiligeweg, you’ll be sure to find something you like!

Diva Iraida: Diva 24×7!!
Dear Frenchonista’s,
Glamorous Fashion Blogger and dear friend of Samia, Iraida Berkhout has designed her own fabulous T-shirt that is now for sale at Cool Cat! We are so proud of her, and Beerje van Beers has already been spotted with it looking gorgeous as ever. Wear it as a bikini cover-up (like Beertje) or with skinnies (or hot pants!) on a summery night out and get a glimpse of what it means to be a diva!
Iraida would do good to launch a book as well: “How To Look Like a Diva Where Ever You Go” because, really, every time I meet her I try to discover a flaw or even one single pore…I never succeeded!
Congratulations, Iraida, and keep on glowing!

N’MOUR – Innovation in Fashion!
Dear Frenchonista’s,
We’d like to introduce you to N’Mour, a brand that has come up with a very creative and innovative idea. Beautiful basics are transformed with epaulettes (shoulder accessories) to take you from office through dinner to drinks! It’s so very simple: Choose one of their black tops or dresses, choose some of their accessories for the shoulders (feathers, studs, stones or chains) and transform one piece in multiple looks at your own taste, just within seconds!
Why hasn’t anyone thought of this before!?
Check it out on www.nmour.com

Martine Brand in Galerie Pien Rademakers! Until 20 July!!
Dear Frenchonista’s,
I hope you remember our previous posts about the lovely and talented illustrator Martine Brand. For those of you in Holland, her work can now be admired at the Galerie Pien Rademakers in Amsterdam until 20 July. Besides seeing the exposition, you will also have the chance to buy one of her illustrations at the gallery, so we urge you to go, because her illustrations are coveted by both fashionistas and designers.
When Samia went to see the exposition she literally got goosebumps and we both were so proud and honored to see our blog featured in one of her gorgeous books.
Martine lives in Paris and draws the world of fashion in an imaginative, dreamy and…well, gorgeous manner. She works for various famous fashion magazines such as Vogue and L’Officiel Italia and for clients such as Chanel, Piaget, Ferrari and Dolce & Gabbana. Samia met her in Amsterdam this year and loves her as a person just as much as she loves her work.
The Galerie Pien Rademakers is on Prinsengracht 570. Don’t miss it!
