Stéphane Rolland Haute Couture S/S 2012

2012-01-31T18:07:00.001+01:00

One of the most beautiful collections I've seen lately! Structured silhouettes, glamorous details and probably the place that gathered around the most gorgeous goddesses of all.
Not to mention the finale dress, worn by the the British/Iranian supermodel Yasmin Le Bon, who was incredibly charming and daring in the same time to agree to embellish her body in 50 fabulous kilograms of fabric. After all it was a heavy divine dress♥
To conclude, although photos are speaking for themselves, the 10th Stephane Rolland Haute Couture show was spectacular!
One more thing, I would love to afford one of those lime green dresses with those perfect stilettos!
Not forbidden to dream, right?

Moodboard of the week♥

2012-01-30T19:39:00.000+01:00

I always liked green, probably my favorite color and since it is a big trend for this season I couldn't be happier!
There is something about this color that is completely fascinating, even when I worked on this moodboard it somehow managed to relax me and make me smile.
One more thing, the walls of my living room are painted in this exact color, emerald green:)
Will you be wearing it this summer?

When you don't wanna go out of bed maybe some pink will do the trick♥

Zara jacket and jumper

The easiest way to convince yourself that you have to move on to something else than two lazy days in bed is to wear some pink and vintage, both in the coldest day of the year!
So, after drinking two liters of Kusmi tea, eating delicious cakes and reading a full pile of fashion magazines I decided to move my lazy "you know what" and take a walk in my lovely neighborhood!
All good, less for the outfit I choose to wear, which was obviously way to summery and pinkish for such a cold January afternoon.
But, somehow it warm me up and made me crave even more for hot summer days.
Well, the fact is I've been quite exhausted and needed urgently to hibernate for few days, as a matter of fact while I am writing right now, I still need some long hours of sleep!
My health has been turning her back on me these last days, so I need to recover fast!
No worries, I still have amazing things to show you, so stay tuned for more♥

Qasimi Menswear Fall/Winter 2012

2012-01-26T21:22:00.000+01:00

Last Menswear show I attended to was Qasimi! Beautiful collection, I enjoyed seeing all those floating skirts and those vivid red/coral shades. Also the sheer tartan shirts with big furry coats were quite a delight to the eyes. Some wearable statement pieces as well as some less wearable ones, just to please the eye! Overall a good way to show that men also have the right to look amazing!
I would like to thank my boyfriend for these cool photos and video! Enjoy♥

Back at the Rynshu show, all the guests got a book and a very cute mascot as you can see in the photo above!

Rynshu is celebrating their 20th anniversary, so they will launch a movie based on the "Black Legend" roman. Can't wait to read it in order to have a more constructive idea about their brand concept and the ideas behind.

About my outfit, well as you can see there is a lot blue going on and to be honest I don't really mind! I am very into the whole idea of blue jeans at the moment:)

Rynshu Menswear Fall/Winter 2012

2012-01-24T23:25:00.000+01:00

The Rynshu show was pretty amazing, from the perfect location, the little gifts they offer their guests (which I will show you later) and of course the garments that were impressive.

Punk, cool and versatile it was a very good collection and I am definitely very curious for what will the designer propose for its future collections!

I particularly like the shinny pieces and the embellished pieces that screamed for show off!

Songzio Menswear Fall/Winter 2012

2012-01-24T12:45:00.001+01:00

Songzio fascinated me this season, especially because of their absolutely stunning coats and elegant silhouettes! Even the velvet babies flats were divine, I mean who would have thought to put that kind of shoes on something so elegant? A very melancholic show, considering the tones of purple and grey and another thing the music! One way or another, I felt really attached to this collection and my final words would be: well done, can't wait to see another collection of this brand!

BILLTORNADE Menswear Fall/Winter 2012

2012-01-23T22:43:00.000+01:00

The BILLTORNADE show started with a sort of electric blue almost purple mood!
I liked the smart casualty of this collection, very wearable indeed, including a lot of versatile pieces that every man could easily match!
I also liked the shoes, very nice leather and style. I also have to mention that I've seen some pretty cool suits that could do the trick for both day and night!
This collection was young, but very cool for men who are always on the run, but who still want to look their best, feel comfortable in a urban chic way!

Walter Van Beirendonck Menswear Fall/Winter 2012

2012-01-22T22:26:00.002+01:00

Saturday I had an invitation at one show only, but what a show! Walter Van Beirendonck's latest collection, "Lust never sleeps" was a parody of voodoo masks and warriors. There are a lot of meanings behind the collection and maybe I am not the most suitable person to write about it, since I just started looking at his past collections and work so far and there is quite a controversy behind.
All I can say is that I absolutely loved this collection, visually speaking was a complete delight, of course the profoundly disturbing meanings are part of the whole contrasting image. There wouldn't be enough beauty without a little bit of controversial meaning to spice it up a little.
The vivid colors were screaming for comic strip again, only this time one that I would like to fantasize my eyes with every single day!

See you soon my dear readers♥

John Galliano Menswear F/W 2012

2012-01-22T19:54:00.000+01:00

John Galliano, or better say Bill Gaytten! 30's reinvented looks for cool gangsters dressed in shinny leather trenchs, belted coats, fur details, sequins, velvet, fedoras and pinstriped suits! The perfect ambiance to almost step out in a comic book for heroically gangsters.
I personally loved the khaki touch of color as well as the magnificent cobalt blue velvet which appeared only once, but still with a huge impact!

♥Stay tuned for more!

Julius Menswear F/W 2012

2012-01-21T23:18:00.000+01:00

I think I always had something for the men clothing and even though I am quite feminine, I feel a strange pleasure while looking at men clothes:) Don't get me wrong, but I like the cuts, the rough shapes, everything that's androgynous and mysterious.

The designer behind the Japanese brand, Julius, Tatsuro Horikawa had a strong impact on me with his latest collection! A weird, but very mysterious vibe of fog and some ghostly men coming one after another dressed in dark colors, while a DJ was mixing this "resonance" music! Big love for the coats, they looked incredible!

Jean Paul Gaultier Men Fall 2012

2012-01-20T09:34:00.002+01:00

Men fashion week started in all its glory with a first Jean Paul Gaultier show!

Leave your hat on man...almost every model was wearing something on their heads, which gave them a quite 40's nostalgic gentleman's allure.

A lot of layering going on, dandy chic fur collar coats, tattooed prints, elegant turtlenecks, brick arty prints, sporty hooded jackets, stripes, leather sleeves, symbolic for the brand, kulats and very long skirts, some electric orange, yellow and green.

In the end the music of Charlie Winston resonated the room in hobo style and everyone, including Jean Paul Gaultier himself projected their hats in the crowd.

"Nothing's gonna stop him"!

Stay tuned for more...

Alexander McQueen and his Savage Beauty

2012-01-12T18:50:00.002+01:00

Savage Beauty(Metropolitan Museeum of Art) & McQ by Alexander McQueen leather belt

Someone once asked me what would I buy if I could afford anything in the world and I said, an exquisite Alexander McQueen piece, a legendary one!
I am all nervous like a little baby on his first day of school when talking about McQueen, it might not be the same exact emotion, but it still gives me chills on my back only thinking of him and how he revolutionized the world of fashion. Sad, isn't it? that so much beauty was created in such a short amount of time and that we will never live a new revolution of creations from his part again?!
I am not a fanatic, I've never have been one... maybe only when it comes for loving a person, but I do have an obsession for his work!
Powerful and seductive, architectural and unseen at any other designer, melancholic and obscenely beautiful, from the under world, from a place that is not Paradise, but could be.
If you like McQueen, buy this book, you would completely fall in love!

What else? Just came back from the sales, a total chaos in Paris... Oh well, I would be lying if I didn't tell you I got all cozy in front of my computer screen, while doing my shopping online and yeah I kind of forgot how it is to run like a crazy woman trying to have a bargain in Zara or H&M.

Stay stylish and have fun!

Back to December 2011♥

2012-01-10T13:55:00.001+01:00

These pictures were taken in 2011, seems such a long time already. Time is eating days at the speed of those furious waves you can see in the last picture!
Wearing once again my shaggy coat from Zara, a simple, but quite a saver piece in my closet that I am always experiencing with all kind of clothing items.
Done for today, but left with great memories of a sunny December day, of the year 2011♥

Moodboard of the week♥

Cozy ♥

2012-01-08T22:52:00.002+01:00

Asos maxi skirt

Crystal Bra

H&M cardigan

Linda Farrow for Luella glitter sunnies

I have been quite nostalgic lately, contemplating on all sort of things, there is a very long list! All I can say is that this new year started as I thought it will, with a more mature conception of life and confidence that big things can happen. Dreaming feels more cozy all of a sudden and I am in for some challenges, including the finding the ideal job:)
White because it is easier to wear it on the outside and it is quite phenomenal in order to hide what is on the inside! Feathers to lighten up the idea of heaviness of duties and thoughts.

May you all have a wiser night♥

Blue Faux Fur♥

2012-01-08T14:16:00.001+01:00

Asos faux fur

I miss Provence already, especially the sun and the sea! Paris is not that sunny and warm, but it feels like home and it definitely has its own charm...
Quite a festive look for the beach, but since it was the first day of January, I thought why not. I especially love the color of this faux fur jacket. Maybe next time I will be wearing it with some warm pastels, that could work:)
