I wish for...

People tend to make promises to themselves for the new year. I always wish for things. This Valentino dress is a definite wish!


Valentino Spring 2011.

Happy New Year

Yes, and it's time to pick out the perfect party dress. I might go for something crazy that could possible turn out to be a disaster and pointed out as fugly, but I mean why not, if ever one night then New Year's would be it. I wouldn't say no to Erin's skirt though.

January Cover

This is by far one of the most beautiful covers I have seen in years. Natalie Portman looks beautiful, flawless even. And the color of that dress!

Season's greetings

I love this H&M holiday campaign, especially the ad with models Du Juan and Fei Fei Sun. It's refreshing to see other models than blonds. These pics are beautiful.

Pingoose

Look at these jewelery pieces, I want to splurge! And the best is that they're real, gold, brass, no fakes here.

Sober

Stella McCartney at her best.


Resort Collection.

Proenza Schouler

This priceless and well-put quote comes from Lazaro Hernandez, designer for Proenza Schouler.

"Sometimes, I think that the people who buy our clothes live in a parallel universe. Hell, we can't even afford our clothes".

Can´t stay away

I can´t seem to stay away from blogging it seems. So tune in once in a while ;-

The end

This blog is going in to sleep mode indefinitely.

Wise beauty

Back from a trip to Rome. Wanted to share this link of supermodel Paulina Porizkova's reflections on today's bizarre beauty and ageless frenzy. I find her as one of the models with the most intriguing face. And now that I've read her thoughts I like her even more.

Style Britney

Erin Wasson says she wants to style Britney Spears: "I'd love to pull out her hair extensions and fake lashes and get her in her own skin for once—something raw and beautiful. Call me up, Britney."
I so agree, hope B jumps on the offer!

Vogue

I love this Vogue Paris cover for May. Are they standing, laying? Gwyneth is beautiful and looks the best, Kate Winslet looks photoshopped to being unrecognizable.

Inspiration Camel

The camel colored coat is everywhere.

A pastely spring

I came across this Nina Ricci ad for spring 2010 and it's beautiful. The powdery pink and pastels are so calming and inviting.

Healing Jewelery

Did you know that jewelery is good against pain and illness and that it can actually enhance your immune system? Silver, gold, brass, copper, stones like amber, jade, turquoise they all have these protective qualities. So the trend with multiple wear of big chunky necklaces and rings is not just fashionable, it's good for us. I find this fascinating and will now wear my favorite pieces appreciating them even more.

Orange and blue

I got the sudden urge to wear something orange with something blue. When it's warmer. Isn't it a nice mix? I think so.


Now I just need to get myself an orange dress.

And a pair of Louboutins.

Dots, dots, dots

Timeless.


Christian Dior.

Sheer

Sheer fabrics are seen in almost every collection these days, it gives a romantic, soft and subtle impression.


Bottega Veneta Spring 2010.

The turban

The turban had a short-lived life a while back but I really think we should all make an effort to welcome it back. It brings so much joy to our outfits, I want one, and in the meantime scarves will do.

Shorts up

Spring seems closer and the stores are all packed with springy and summery items. And as I foresaw in January, shorts are the piece to get, and if you manage to get your hands on a pair of flowery ones then it's a full pot.

More nudes

From the Valentino Fall 2010 collection.

Nude

Looks like nude pastels will be wearable not just for this summer but all through fall. The amazing Giambattista Valli during Paris fashion week. Creations below.

Icing

New earrings.

Mixing leopard prints

Giovanna, the muse of the Sartorialist, shows how it is to look impeccable managing to pull of two different versions of a print, it's quite an achievement.

Cropped tops

The belly is doing a revival. House of Missoni has incorporated the look into its fall collection but the trend will most definitely be seen this summer.


Missoni fall 2010.

Jewels

Two pair of new earrings have moved into my jewelry box.


Gold and brass.

Milan, Milan, Milan!

Milan's fashion week! What say the grand designers of Italy? Well apparently they've all had a mini-conference before their shows cause for next fall almost all of them want us to wear shorts, preferably knee-long height. I've lined them all up for you, get inspired.


Jil Sander.

Chanel mania

Came home late last night to find that my dear friend in London had sent me some lovely pics. She had run into the amazing Lucyann Barry, an apparent fashionista who does what for a living? Buying and selling vintage Chanel jewelery. Yes, I know. And as the Chanel-lover that I am, I'm posting all the pics for you to see!

Just look at the details of these exquisite pieces. And not to mention Lucyann's bold and personal style, look at her fun shoes. I am so in love.

Check out her website here.

Jeans please

Denim is all in for spring, in all shades, shapes and sizes. Nothing says spring more than a pair of light blue jeans does it? The boyfriend jeans are what I´ll be on the hunt for.


D&G.

Elie Tahari.

Brian Reyes.

Ralph Lauren.

Come away with me...

...To spring and Donna Karan. The cold and the snow have never seemed more lingering and stubborn.

Fashion statement

"Stop all this consumerism. I just tell people, stop buying clothes. Why not protect this gift of life while we have it? I don't take the attitude that destruction is inevitable. Some of us would like to stop that and help people survive."
