January is almost coming to an end, but it is still a great opportunity for me to wish you a very happy 2017. May this year be filled with joy, projects, and of course, Fashion!
In My Fashion Tips this month, we will talk about costume jewelry with Lily Birds, which offers an original co-creation concept, then fashion with the very lovely French brand Habillez-moi. To finish, we will talk about culture, with the Retour d’Expédition exhibition by artist Harumi Klossowska de Rola, currently taking place at the Ecole des Arts Joailliers.

Lily Birds, original costume jewelry
Lily Birds is a young and lovely French costume jewelry brand that offers an original “co-creation” concept. Indeed, the brand invites you to create your own piece of jewelry in their virtual studio, La Fab à Bijoux, according to your tastes. Once registered, your creation will appear on the site and can be offered for sale.
I had the chance to test this fun and friendly concept for you, and here is my creation, the Nervura Lily Blue earrings. I wanted these earrings to be a bit bold, while still being easily wearable for both daytime and evening. I find them perfect to accessorize a simple outfit. This concept is an original gift idea for the upcoming Valentine’s Day…
If, on the other hand, you prefer jewelry that is already created, that is of course possible; the site is full of little treasures (earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and long necklaces) at sweet prices. Right now on the site, the second round of sales has arrived, with discounts of up to – 50%. Take advantage of it!

The Good Deal: Lily Birds is offering a lovely contest (with an average value of 35 €), namely the creation of your own piece of jewelry as well as listing your creation for sale in the e-shop. The contest rules are specified at the end of the article.

Habillez-moi, feminine ready-to-wear to personalize
Habillez-moi is a young French ready-to-wear brand designed for women who want to wear timeless, chic clothing that highlights their body type.
The clothes offered on the e-shop are very well cut and made from beautiful materials. The brand is radically different from disposable fashion. By offering quality clothing, Habillez-moi will win you over.
Right now on the site, the Cocoon collection is on sale until 02/21. I especially love the dresses on offer, particularly the Chloé sweater dress (hand-knitted); it is sold with 4 satin ribbons in different colors so you can customize it according to your tastes and desires.

The pants are also lovely pieces, such as the Rome pants, with their semi-high waist.

The Camille cardigan is also a staple for a wardrobe worthy of the name; timeless, it pairs with all outfits, from the most casual to the most sophisticated.

The Good Deal: In addition to the sales, Habillez-Moi offers you an extra 10% discount with the code mellebonplan until 02/21.
