Just came back from a short trip to my favourite spot in the world: Lago Maggiore (a.k.a. THE lake!). Its mediterranean flair and the good old 70’s-glam that has somehow never left make this place very inspiring. Yet it is totally quiet and relaxing unlike other lakes in Northern Italy. My sis and I decided to take some shots right before sundown trying to catch the gloaming light:
… back to the 80’s…Balmainia…best trend for fall/winter… BIG SHOULDERS!
KASIA SMUTNIAK is the face of Armani’s new fragrance IDOLE d’ ARMANI. Just another blonde model from Eastern Europe who landed a fragrance campaign? Certainly more than that! In the current French VOGUE issue she shows us how to pull off a red Armani-leather blazer (used to be on top of my personal list of pieces that can never possibly look good on anyone!): Mix it with a simple Acne tee plus vintage jeans & jewelry et VOILÀ!
The biggest shopping event of the year Fashion’s Night Out is approaching and we can’t wait to get our hands on these fabulous tees, which were especially designed for this occasion…
This ruffled top is definitely one of my summer favourites. It has some kind of extravaganza to it that makes all of my dull basics (old skinnies in this case) instantly look fashionable. Could use more of that…ha, ha.
I finally got my tickets for Paris this fall (one’s for Fashion Week!) and I can’t wait to get on that train. Since my personal fashion summer had been rather american-ized (with lots of cropped denim and casual tees), this fall will be all about the French Chic! The MAGNIFIQUE Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and her effortlessly elegant, sexy way of dressing inspired me to list a few “Paris basics”.
We were totally thrilled when we first heard about Burberry’s new face for the Fall campaign: everybody’s darling and STYLE HEROINE in the making Emma Watson. The Harry Potter star is enchanting the fashion world this August, as she rocks the cover of both Elle UK (watch the behind the scenes video here) and Teen Vogue.
Inspired by Emma’s charm we created our own, summery version of Burberry’s effortless Brit chic…
I like contrasts. So I was extremely happy when I found this shoulder-padded cardigan/jacket/awesome piece at H&M yesterday. The color is a powdery rose which perfectly sets off the sharp-shoulders and makes it work for late summer days as well as fall.
When we took a trip to Antwerp a couple of weeks ago it felt like shopping heaven! The hometown of Dries van Noten and Martin Margiela not only hosts the famous ModeMuseum but also has a quite unique selection of small boutiques, avantgarde designer stores and vintage shops. Curious;-)?
Was browsing through the new ELLE (the German issue for once) yesterday when I came across these beautiful drawings taken from Cally Blackman’s collection of the most remarkable fashion illustrations from 1900 until now. The one shown above (”Dior Dress” from 1949) was done by René Gruau for a magazine called “Femina”.

Hello you GOSSIP maniacs all around, admit it: you are dying for the new GG season to air! It’s exactly a month until the return of drama, high fashion and… Chuck Bass!

For years we had been carrying the heavy weight of those overpriced, overly decorated IT-bags and it seems as if the phenomenon just had a revival with the much-anticipated Alexander-Wang Mini Duffle bag that sold out in no time. For those of you who want to take it easy this fall here’s an eco-friendly (and comparably cheap!) alternative: the canvas shopper. We picked out these three beautys:
