CONVERSE COUTURE

YES IT´S TRUE....EVERYBODY LOVES THAT SHOE !!! you know i am talking about CONVERSE, but i have to confess something to you....i don´t own a single pair of these comfy sneakers (not fashionable enough), i always wait till a special edition comes out, first came the MARIMEKKO ones (thought about it....but nooo) and now GIVENCHY (OMG, i need them, i want them, i crave for them....i uhm, sorry i can't control myself sometimes).leave it to Ricardo Tisci to make them VERY fashionable, think leather with leopard-print and some crosses (all signature looks for him at Givenchy)....were do we have to stand in line you asked? exclusively and only at Converse stores AND Givenchy stores in....JAPAN !!!

I BEG OF YOU....IF ANYBODY GOES TO JAPAN FOR BUSSNES OR PLEASURE....PLEASE THINK OF ME....then i would be very happy :)

KATY is going GAGA

Katy Perry has released her new video and i think she has gone GAGA with this one....it all starts in outer-space (like born this way) and she is more alien-esk (like lady gaga)....but the question is: where is sweet little Katy, pink bubblegum sweet little Katy....don't get me wrong, it's quite a lovely song (thanks to Kanye west) and i only post this because of my love for VIKTOR & ROLF (big white dress in the video) SO, enjoy this new gaga uhm sorry KATY video!!!

Let's go to Portofino.

i have never been to this Italian JET-SET hot spot, So i don't know the smell of it, but thanks to TOM FORD i don't have to take a plain for that (just a cab downtown)....introducing: NEROLI PORTOFINO.

and leave it to Tom Ford to make it a scent to remember, not just the smell of it but also the campaign ad (mama mia, how fun and sexy is this). MILLE GRAZI mister Ford, Portofino is hot and steamy again (i realy got to get me the complete line....sexy shower scene included).

ICONIC COCO

this CHANEL (extended) short film is amazing, it makes you (almost) forget Nicole "i love to dance" Kidman....ENJOY !!! after seeing this, makes me fall in love with Paris even more (if that is possible)....can't wait to visit the fashion capitol again (and hop on a beige motorbike)....je t'aime Paris, je t'aime Chanel....just moi....mademoiselle !!!

Colour me Mimosa

Usually i'm not a big fan of yellow in fashion, but this season i will have a little fun with it....and what's more yellow then MIMOSA.SO, i checked-out the s/s 2011 designer collections to see if i could create a suitable and sunny look for me.i came upon this D&G dress with mimosa print, some lovely accessories from BALENCIAGA (in colour mimosa) AND to top it all off....Le vernis #577 (also mimosa) from CHANEL.

is it sweet....yes, is it bright....definitely, is it me....absolutely NOT, but that's OK i like that Balenciaga bag anyway (but i'm gonna get me that Chanel nail-polish, looks fab with grey and black).

Treasure-chest.

we all know this walk-in closet like it's our own and we think of Carrie's closet like a treasure-chest....SO i went on a quest in my own walk-in to find my own treasures....i found many clothing with amazing memories (treasures for the mind) but when i opened my accessories cupboard, i really found my golden pieces: on the top shelf i have my beloved sunglasses from LANVIN, CELINE and LOEWE, till my shades that i wore at the LADY GAGA concert.

on the second shelf....the adored purple VIKTOR & ROLF bag, LANVIN fan, nude D&G belt and the "NO" belt (also from my favorite designer duo V&R)....then comes my scarf collection from top: GUCCI, ALEXANDER McQUEEN, 3 times SALVATORE FERRAGAMO, GIVENCHY and finally 2 times HERMES. and then there are my baby's, my cupcakes, my sugar buttons, my....uhm sorry got carried away (hi hi got it, carried away), OK back to reality: V&R, D&G, LOUIS VUITTON, and MICHEAL KORS, that black and white clutch in the middle is my dearest one....i went to the VIKTOR & ROLF exposition in Utrecht, i saw this bag with a pair of heels displayed as an preview to their s/s 2009 collection (a treasured dream)....one year later this dream came true (thank goodness)....to end this quest with some lovely words by miss Bradshaw:

you are sooo right, miss B !!!
