Travel + Style Vlog: South of France!



EDITOR'S NOTE: Rogue Gone Vogue is getting a makeover!

I've already started! Take a look up above and say hello to my brand new Navigation Bar! 
Don't worry, all that you know and love will still be here: but I'm expanding!
As the Nav bar hints: I'm starting to try out a few new types of content!
All fundamentally still to do with style; I haven't lost the plot.
But my two other huge passions in life are making video's and traveling.
So why not share/show/teach/discuss style from a new perspective and medium?

I really do hope you all enjoy the new content!
So Without further ado, please welcome: Video and Travel!

South of France
This June I went on a short to visit a friend of mine who lives in the South of France!
I was there for three days and got to visit Nice, Cannes and Monte Carlo.

I was visiting a lot of stylish places... with very little space for style...

Well now everyone. Settle down... It's simple...

4 Cool Summer Trends That Keep You Cool




Here in Switzerland we are experiencing a Canicule; in english that's a Heat Wave. 
Hottest parts of the day have reached 40ºC/104ºF !
We have been told to drink lots of water, stay indoors from 3-5, and dress appropriately.

Summer is my favourite fashion season; flowing dresses, vibrant colours, and denim shorts!
If this damn Canicule thinks its going to stop me flourishing, it can think again.

Wherever you are (apart from Australia) July has got to be packing heat.
Here are some SS15 (SpringSummer2015) 
trends that will keep you cool while keeping you cool.


1. Embrace les Culottes.



They are so worth it. 
Even if culottes are a trend you just can't sink your teeth into; they are so worth it.
No pair of linen trousers, harem pants, or khaki pants 
are able to give you the breezy cool ventilation culottes can.
I mean just look:


They are sophisticated and oh-so-easy: I say go for it.
Fool proof way of making them work for you? heels.


If that isn't motivation enough: you'd get a gold star for being on trend!
Just take a look! :

Culottes: Zara
Shoes: Harrods


Look cute in a stylish cut out top + cool breeze on my back? Yes please.



Fine Jewellery is also a great option: very in at the moment for starters: 
and won't stick to you like chunkier jewellery would.


2. Gladiators Rule


In the heat, sand, and on the beach, the last thing you want is closed shoes.
Unlike flip flops; you can walk for hours in them.
I put them to the test! I bought my first pair in Greece, where I climbed 
913 steps up the Palamidi Fortress. If that isn't testament enough...


Tops like this one are heaven on a hot day.
Bare shoulders are the best to keep you cool.
Plus, shoulderless tops are part of this summers 70's trend. 
Brownie points!


Nautical is always on trend too!


Gladiators: Steve Madden


Top: Zara
Shorts: Topshop
Handbag: Chanel


Retro glasses and hoops complete the look.




3. Slouchy MC Hammer Chic



Tight, clingy clothes will not only make you uncomfortable, but can also encourage sweat.
Slouchy low crotch wonderful get-ups like this one mean for maximum comfort, 
and if done right, maximum style too. Have a read of Vogue's take on Harem Pants...


But be carful! Low crotch trousers can go wrong easily.
The key is to make it not look like you've gone out in pyjamas.
Note: detailed shoes (gladiators), jewellery, sunglasses.
These are all a very un-bedtime choice of accessories.


Gladiators make and give colour to this otherwise monochrome outfit:
 which you now now are definitely on trend!



Cool Kangaroo...



4. 70's Flared Sleeves



Nothing rules the 70's trend like flared jeans or sleeves.
Tommy Hilfiger and Saint Laurent SS15 was practically a 70's homage.
So we know it's cool cool.
As for heat-defying cool: ventilation like you wouldn't believe.
A mini hemline works well to keep you feeling fresh in the summertime heat!


Dress: Nastygal.com
Necklace: Nastygal.com
Shoes: Harrods
Bag: Chanel


Baddest Witch in Town


It's not a bad idea to cover your shoulders when going from day to night.
UV rays can still burn as the sun is setting.
The extra cover up will come in handy later on in the night too when the temperature drops!



Love a good sassy summer LBD! (Little Black Dress)






I hope this helps you all beat the heat! 
and have a glam summer!
