COOL AND HAPPY JEWELS

The LANVIN f/w show during the last Paris Fashion Week was very opulent in it's own way and i'm only talking about the jewels this time. Big golden chains with beautiful Pearls, nothing new you may think BUT what about the street-style words hanging around the models neck as well....THIS I REALLY LIKE !!!

MY OTHER STORIES

Ones upon a time in a little town called Heerlen, there lived a girl with a huge craving for fashion and she fed herself with all the fashion she could find, Magazines, books, expositions, online-shops and fashion weeks.

After 5 years of blogging and wandering the streets of Paris in search of the good stuff, this fashionista heard a whisper of a complete other story....H&M will launch a new fashion brand with a catchy name & OTHER STORIES, this was news she was waiting for SO, she run as fast as her heels could carry to her favorite concept store COLETTE to find this new brands cosmetics lying there for her to buy....she felt like a kid in a candy store.

A few days later the first actual Other Stories store opened in London, followed by the online shop and one week after that a boutique in Copenhagen, The same day this fashionista received her first parcel from their online shop and one step closer to her wardrobe perfection !!!
All the goods in a lovely dust-bag.
Cotton white biker jacket, black satin belt, black low cut tank-top and the necklace i fell in love with.
Even the delivery note made me giggle, a nice envelope WITH a sample of one of their beauty products and the kind words....THANK YOU, i say....NO NO NO, THANK YOU !!!

PFW: PACO RABANNE F/W 13/14

MY EIGHT FASHION SHOW DURING PARIS FASHION WEEK: PACO RABANNE. Last November the fashion house named their new creative director: Lydia Maurer, and now only 3 months later she presented her first collection.

Maurer showed us a collection that was a mix of high-school girls and medieval knight in shinning armor, totally different than the designers who went before her, more classy even preppy if you may call it that, it's fresh clean and i hope that she will put some more edge in the following collections, which Paco Rabanne is best known for....FINGERS CROSSED & DUMBS UP !!!
THANKS TOTEM-FASHION FOR THIS LOVELY INVITE :)

PFW: VIKTOR & ROLF F/W 13/14

I WISHED I HAD AN INVITE FOR THE VIKTOR & ROLF FASHION SHOW, they are still my favorite designers duo out there, hopefully one day i will be sitting at their show.

For this fall they created a fun, hip and young collection, some have called it safe and without fireworks but i call it MY NEW WARDROBE with some amazing leather work and lovely "Laurel Wreath" print, cool furry coats in just black & white with an occasional red shoe and the fabulous new BOMBETTE BAG (it is on the top of my wish-list but not easy to get).

I think i will be living on water and bread for the rest of the year....I NEED THIS COLLECTION !!!
