A dash of pink

pink cravings

I love pink. And so does Nat. We always have actually. Since we’re grown-up princesses now, the dose of pink added to our outfits decreased significantly, but it still has the same effect. PINK is like wardrobe ecstasy. Just wanna go on a trip right now:-).

Look: Zara S/S 2011

Wallet: YSL Muse

Bag: Jil Sander

Silk blouse: Equipment

Pink denim shorts: Pacsun

Sunnies: Rayban Wayfarer

Sandals: Balenciaga

Nail lacquer: Chanel Black Satin

Day to night

day to night staples

I like the idea of having a few staples that can take me from day to night with just a few changes in accessories. Admittedly, I like the idea of not changing at all before going out:-). Here’s how it works:

1. Leather biker: All Saints

2. Platform sandals: Balenciaga S/S 2010

3. Sunnies: Linda Farrow Luxe

4. Silk blend tank: Kain

5. Gold plated ring: YSL

6. Pleated skirt: Pretaportobello

7. Crocodile ring: Topshop

8. Clutch: Proenza Schouler PS1

9. Nail lacquer: OPI Tasmanian devil

10. Dress: Dolce & Gabbana

11. Lace ring: Aurélie Bidermann

12. Golden eyeliner pencil: Benefit Cosmetics

The maxi length

Bon, it’s official: I converted from being a total opponent of the maxi skirt length (don’t know how many times I prayed to my dearest coupine that I would never wear it…sorry for that!!). And now I TOTALLY love this trend.

How to best wear the maxi length?? Turn to  style princess Olivia herself…she is THE proof that even (or especially) petite girls can rock this trend!!

Follow Olivia’s lead and style the maxi skirt/dress with a belt, leather jacket or fur and a hat for a laidback, yet polished style!

Long hair don’t care

mk olsen_long hair

Not exactly sure why I’ve been constantly ‘advised’ to get a haircut by different people from my inner circle over the past few weeks… Okay, hair has been looking little trashy-messy here and there but it kind of fits my general mood right now. And -FYI, you long-hair-haters- it’s the new thing to wear your hair XL and a little loose. Here’s some proof I’d like to share with u:

LOVE II

Tommy Ton at NYFW shot Alaia booties

Just came across this snapshot from Tommy Ton at NYFW and think it PERFECTLY epitomizes urban Valentine’s Day romance;-).

Wishing everyone a LOVE-ly day!

P.S.: Those boots are Alaia!

Winter escape

Elin Kling hitting the slopes

Almost off to Austria for a much-anticipated skiing weekend! When browsing the web for a little inspiration I came across these holiday ‘snapshots’ of the lovely Elin. I think her JLindeberg total look topped off with a vintage fur hat kicks ass!

Really like the fact that she kept her outfit simple and sportive. People tend to go a little over the top on their winter escape. You know what I mean?

I have put together a collage of what I am (ideally) packing for my trip to the mountains. Be inspired!

What to look forward to in 2011: Isabel Marant S/S collection

Isabel Marant SS 2011_I

Isabel Marant S/S 2011 campaign

Model: Snejana Onopka
Photographed by: Karim Sadli

This is pretty much what I wanna look like in 2011. Isabel Marant’s S/S 2011 collection sums up all of my New Year’s style resolutions;-). Very simple.

Isabel Marant SS 2011_II

I am a huuuge fan fan of mixing simple cotton sweaters with flirty little skirts! Perfect oufit for a first date…;-)

Isabel Marant SS 2011_III

Yes, OKAY. Isabel Marant’s style hasn’t evolved so much from her previous collections. Even the shoes are the same. But do we care?

Isabel Marant SS 2011_IV

LOVE the red! And the hair. And the make-up…

Isabel Marant SS 2011_V

Too bad you can’t really see the jacket in this one. I found it in the buying folder this morning and let me tell you this is THE piece that will instantly lift up all of your summer staples and make any rolled-up-denim-outfit look très Parisienne. TRUST me;-).

Isabel Marant SS 2011_VI

Those mini-shorts are so hot! Okay, I honestly would not know where to wear these with a knit sweater (I mean, common!) but that’s what fashion is about: escaping reality.

Wishing you a splendid, happy & utterly stylish New Year!
