Right now, I just wanna put on that dress, let my ombre hair down and hit the beach on Ibiza…

Hippie-esque jewelry. All the way!

Love it when the necklaces are longer than the actual dress.

I found these pics in PlanetBlue‘s lookbook and thought they were perfectly capturing that gipsy summer feel of late August days when everyone just seems to need some time OUT. Like away from it all.

So here’s my Gipsy Summer essential kit:

1. Fringed leather top: All Saints

2. Arty ring in turquoise: YSL on netaporter.com

3. Pelicane ring: Bimba y Lola

4. Crochet mini dress: Topshop

5. Long gold toned necklaces: Topshop

Feather necklace: Isabel Marant on netaporter.com

6. Braided leather clutch: Bottega Veneta

Enjoy your (urban) summer, girls!

As you can see its ALL about the right head accessory! I mean how CUTE are those fur & pearl ear muffs?? ;)

Creative director Laetitia Crahay, who  also designs Chanel accessories and jewelry, really does the best heats and headbands…if it just wasn’t for the high price tag! So better start saving up, or go Vintage/ DIY!

As for me, I defenitely prefer it in black and that is how I would style it…for day:

1. Splendid simple black tanktop

2. Zadig & Voltaire shorts in turquoise

3. Metallic Repetto flats

4. Isabel Marant charm necklace via Net-a-porter

5. Balenciaga Giant Envelope clutch via MyTheresa

6. the one and only styleproduct aka. Bumble&Bumble surfspray ;)

…and at night:

1. T by Alexander Wang stretch skirt in taupe via Net-a-porter

2. Helmut Lang blazer – a true classic – via LaGarconne

3. Miu Miu lace-up ankle boots

4. Alexander Wang Marion Suede shoulder bag

5. YSL ring in black, ivory and amber …we just can’t get enough of the arty rings;)

6. Nars body glow

Now, that I think about it, I REALLY need this fishnet top!!! Too bad it is already sold out online…but I might be lucky and find it during Sales in Paris;)

Keep you posted on that, xx

Just what you need for that certain off-beat, Parisian chic!

Currently craving… A LOT. Well, cry me a river, credit card! It’s summer and the girl needs clothes!

So here we go:

1. IRO sequins shorts (spotted in recent VOGUE Spain issue and now I’m under the spell!) via freepeople.com

2. TOPSHOP airy knit jumper

3. Black ALEXANDER WANG Noemi booties (still haven’t decided if i like the black or the cream ones better) via shopbop.com

4. DIOR Aloha nailpolish (a definite summer essential. Will give OPI’s Big Apple a summer break now)

5. BALENCIAGA belt via yoox.com

6. PROENZA SCHOULER tye-die longsleeve (can’t live without – it’s totally my thing!)

7. BIMBA Y LOLA flamingo cuff (BFF says it’s not so pretty in reality – will check it out when in Paris)

8. PRADA sequins clutch (it’s new in and a KILLER!)

9. RAG & BONE bright blue shorts

Shorts and little jumpers is pretty much all I’m wearing in summer. Great combo as I can dress it up or down! What will you be wearing;-)?

clockwise:

Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray: THE one and only style product, I use it all year long! But especially during summer you won’t want to miss out on the most amazingly beachy, wavy hair.

Johnson’s Baby Shampoo with natural lanvendar: Forget all the super fancy shampoos…this one will make your hair the most soft and shiney!! It comes with the NO MORE TEARS formula, as well as good, old childhood memories!

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or: This oil from favourite french brand guarantees the perfect summer legs. Nothing more to add…except I wish the products were less expensive outside France.

Essie too too hot: Once in a while (i.e. when the new Chanel polish collections come out) we like to experiment with different colours. But c’mon, if we’re honest there is only RED, a deliciously bright red for summer. This one is from the new Essie collection and comes in a sizzling rich red coral ;)

Rodin Lip Balm: After the best-seller olio lusso, stylist Linda Rodin created a new, highly coveted beauty product: an ultra smoothening lip balm based on natural ingredients only.

Soleil Tan de Chanel: This light bronzing make-up base is one of the best products ever! It creates a perfect sun-kissed look and is worth every cent!

Supergoop Sunscreen whipes SPF 30+: Sun protection was never that easy. Those face and body whipes fit perfectly into your purse and are super practical on the way..get them via Colette.

Kusmi Algotea: Green tea with mint and seaweeds. It’s rich in vitamins and anti-oxidants..in short the perfect wellness drink. However, it has a very particular taste…I say you either love it or hate it ;) So, if you wanna go safe there is always the classical Kusmi detox tea, which is also perfect to make your own, healthy ice tea.

So what are your favourite beauty products for the summer??

Found this fantastic, handmade (authentic Native American craftmanship!) ensemble of necklaces in the most random Navajo Indian accessories store called ARIZONA in downtown Frankfurt (kind of place you’d never expect me to enter). Believe it or not, (and despite ARIZONA being the least fashionable place on earth) this set – it took me the entire afternoon to pull the different components – costs a fortune altogether! And I’m talking Prada pricepoints here.

Sooo, anyone into Najavo Indian jewelry? I take donations. X

So last weekend in Berlin I finally found  THE one LWD from Sandro at Galeries Lafayette. It has the perfect length, a cute zipper at the back and beautiful lace details (and we love white lace this summer!!)

Take some inspirations from favourite blogger Elin on how to style the LWD:

LWD: Sandro at Galeries Lafayette

Suede bag: Vanessa Bruno via Net-a-Porter

Boots: Prego

Sunnies: Celine via Barneys NY

Nail polish: Chanel Black Pearl

These ones belong to favourite blogger Jane. I neeeeed!!

Where can I get them, anyone?!

Gaia Repossi joined forces with French label Zadig&Voltaire to create the capsule collection Metamorphosis. Her rings and cuffs are the perfect addition to a cool girl’s wardrobe.

On the more affordable side, Pamela Love and Topshop are launching a collection of boho inspired pieces, which hits stores the 19th of Mai and seems just perfect to create your own “Coachella” like summer look.

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

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

So thanks to one of our favourite bloggers Andy, we will soon be able to carry our camera in style with this limited edition camera bag:

This collaboration between a fashion blogger and Kipling is the only one I have seen so far, which actually really makes sense!

Congrats to Andy!!
