GOODBYE 2014 !!!

BAG OF THE WEEK: BURBERRY PRORSUM

One of the colors i keep my eye on is purple. Burberry Prorsum made one picture perfect bag in that color just for me (well not just for me of course but you get the point). I carried it like this for a few years now but it's 2014 and i'm looking at nice little things like scarves, keychains or goodluck charms to pimp it up....Any ideas?

&OTHERSTORIES HITS AMSTERDAM

FINALLY !!! &Otherstories decided that it was time to expand to the Netherlands, my favorite highstreet retailer will land in Amsterdam this Autumn, that gives me some time to save my shopping money and spend it all at once....getting all the new stuff home, that's an other story ;)

SCHIAPARELLI COUTURE S/S 14

I have deep love for the house SCHIAPARELLI. It started a few years ago when I saw an amazing necklace by Elsa Schiaparelli at an auction, violet colored semi-precious gems in an art-deco setting, a fashion crush was born.

So for me it was amazing news that the Couture house was re-entering the fashion market. First there was Christian Lacroix as guest designer and now Schiaparelli has found it's own creative director in Marco Zanini who just showed his first S/S 2014 Couture collection ....I THINK MY CRUSH TURNED INTO LOVE !!!

BALMAIN PRE-FALL 2014

Usually i'm not keen on the PRE-FALL collections but Olivier Rousteing from BALMAIN surprised me good. Just love the feel/color/print he used. I already picture myself going on a fashion safari, let's say early October in the rough street of Paris....URBAN JUNGLE THE WAY I LIKE IT !!!

H&M RECYCLED FIBER COLLECTION

In February 2013 H&M started collecting our old and worn out clothes in the hope that they could make new garments out of them, well, IT WORKED !!! H&M created 5 musthave denim pieces for men and women which are made from fibers from those old and worn out clothes.

The capsule collection will hit selected H&M stores worldwide by the end of February 2014. How cool is That....OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW !!!

BALENCIAGA'S SPRING 14 AD

Alexander Wang decided that it was time to put Daria Werbowy in the Balenciaga spring 14 campaign ads (shot by Steven Meisel). I think he was right about doing that....Just gorgeous !!!

VIONNET'S MOSAIC BAG

There's a new bag in town, The Mosaic Bag from VIONNET. It's a new kind of handbag, you can change the look by putting other elements on it and unzip compartments to take away as a pouch....just like mosaic ;)

(Picture WWD)

I don't like the yellow on red as shown above but I'm in love with that leopard-print part as crazy. This bag could be yours for approximately $1300 if you like it small and round $1500 if you go for the bigger one, the loose parts are starting from $650 and $850. In selected stores from June.

KENZO PRE-FALL 2014

&OTHERSTORIES SPRING PREVIEW

Ok, it's still mid winter but I'm dreaming about the spring already. Coats off, sandals on and cheery prints....THAT'S WHAT I NEED :)

&OTHERSTORIES revealed one of their spring 14 prints, if you look closely you can see that the prints are all kinds of tarot cards....I predict fun fashion and sunny days in the near future !!!

THE SJP SHOE LINE IS HERE !!!

YIP, IT HAS arrived !!! Sarah Jessica Parker's long anticipated shoe-line will hit the shelfs of NORDSTROM later this month. Prices are between $200 $400 and they ship internationally. This kinda takes you back to the golden days of SEX AND THE CITY.

Remember when Carrie was allowed in the VOGUE closet? Well look at these beauties....they are not a shoe myth ;)

HELLO 2014

A new year has come, time to look forward....I feel that it's gonna be a great one. wish for you all the same amazing things I am wishing for.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY, MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE....XOXO
