Talk about inspiration, I absolutely love the delightful summery styling, atmosphere, sea breeze, light and image in this editorial Vogue Paris May issue, styled by Geraldine Saglio(!) and photographed by Gilles Bensimon.
Bring me on a sailboat this summer, anyone?
All images style.comFashion weeks have already moved on from London to Milan, but except for Alexander Wang’s wonderful “furry collection”, here are some of my other favourite looks and pieces from NY’s fall collections presented last week. If these collections are anything to go by as for trending directions for fall 2013, then we can safely include black and white looks, leather and fur pieces in the trend forecast for now.
LOVE
- Proenza Schouler’s bulky contrasting silhouettes and wowen leather pieces
- Altuzarra’s monochrome superhot(!) body slinky dresses and leather pieces.
- Tibi’s wearable snugging pieces and I need those thigh high leather boots in my life(!)
- Phillip Lim’s jackets and cool layered silhouettes, and again I am reminded that a pair of round sunnies are still missing in my wardrobe.
- Victoria Beckham, sophisticated with a masculine touch, pencil lengths with bulky tops, and that gorgeous checked coat, please send my way!

Couldn’t help myself other than borrowing this image from Vogue.fr, cause it’s too great to be missed. Anja Rubik I don’t envy you at all (!!!) rocking this fabulous Balmain off duty look toned down with the perfect chilled out pieces, a wool coat, round sunnies, and the hair, glorious!
Acne, Kenzo & Dagmar, images style.com
Off shoulders, yeah, like seen in Acne’s and Kenzo’s S/S 2013 and Dagmar’s A/W 2013 collection, definitely something I’m gonna sport when spring finally arrives! Btw, Swedish brand Dagmar presented their fall collection this week in Stockholm, really worth checking out, see the whole collection here.
Vogue Paris February 2013 – styling by Emmanuelle and photography by David Sims
Vogue Paris what takes you so long to hit counters in London, cause I can’t wait to dive into this February issue that looks fully packed of inspiration. Especially this editorial styled by Emmanuelle Alt modelled by Andrea Diaconu, that includes cool casual denim styling, trench coats, streets of NY, a great model, Dries, hairy Celine sandals (better get used to these I’m afraid), and stunning images by David Sims. Absolutely love this spread!

Many of the pre-fall collections that usually tend to get me all wow’ing and so did very little for me this time around. Having that said, as to no surprise (to myself at least), like Phoebe Philo, Stella McCartney always delivers and these are my favourites looks, androgynous classic pieces with maxi proportions signed either of these two ladies can hardly go wrong, can they……

Well isn’t there just something with a perfectly cut suit or a tailored look, whether on a man or woman. And ADR, don’t you totally rock that Saint Laurent look!
Loving these shots by-need-no-further-introduction-Tommy Ton for style.com during men’s Fall 2013 ongoing fashion tour, but I’ll also tip you about my friend Lee Oliveira, also on scene, presenting excellent street style photography.

I cant say this is the most revolutionary and inspiring Phoebe Philo collection I’ve seen, but the tailored pieces and some of the white-shirt-looks (minus the shoes!) in Celine’s pre-fall are definitely right up my alley.
Vogue Netherlands January/February 2013
Frida looking stunning in simple basic pieces that I personally cannot wait to get back into, a pair of relaxed fitted jeans and a good knit is sometimes all a girl on the go needs!

Woop, woop, happy Monday morning!
I’ve been spending some time this weekend going through all spring collections again (!), and one of the ones I’m looking forward myself to hit stores soon is Unique’s chic, airy and sophisticated collection. It includes everything from graphic pieces, asymmetric dresses to all monochrome looks for a (little!) more affordable penny.

Speaking of Resort collections, ok, craving pieces from Balmain’s collections would probably create a big black hole in most people’s budgets. Luckily keeping it as inspiration is free for everyone, like these three party looks that I absolutely adore!
Mango A/W-12 Lookbook styled by Géraldine Saglio
Though I love being all wrapped up in coats in the winter I wouldn’t mind adding a leather shearling jacket to my wardrobe, preferable in a lighter brown or tan colour, perhaps something to look for and hopefully stumble across during the sales (yeah!).
Happy Friday everyone out there!
Images Russh December-12/January-13
A striped suit, but by the time I can fit into one again it’s probably springy days and i might opt for something lighter like seen in Acne’s SS13, sweet!
Vogue Netherlands November 2012
……. houndstooth pattern, cropped tops, wide legged trousers and no coat in sight, practically everything I personally cannot wear right now, except for houndstooth there is, watch this space!!!

Every year I get this idea to chop a fringe, and this year like every other year, it’s not very likely to happen due to my unruly curls. However if I had straight hair like 60′s icon and beauty Francoise Hardy, the chop would have been done ages ago, her cut is just too cool for school and will remain my hair-inspo-dream for 2012 that never happened.
Happy Friday to all of you superstars!
