Kate + Isabel Marant = perfect 50s rock style

Just love this new Isabel Marant campaign for fall. Can’t wait for the new pieces to hit stores

Go Marc!

Marc Jacobs just won the CFDA award for Womenswear designer of the year. This was soo well deserved considering his wonderful fall collection!

The best dressed women of the evening were wearing Marc of course!

And now a little “Marc reminiscing“:

Pink hair

The pink hair trend was spotted on this Spring’s runway shows of Giles, Zac Posen and with some variations also at Proenza Schouler. At first, I was a bit skeptical about the actual wearability of this trend…but now that I saw it on favourite Swedish fashionblogger Carolina , I think its kinda cute!!

Vanessa Bruno Fall 10

For the coming fall season Vanessa Bruno did it ALL right!

I love the colour palette and the fur details, especially on the shoes. All the looks are well put together, without trying too hard.

Balmain goes Versaille

After last season’s distressed military look, Decarnin choose to go Baroque chic for his new collection and brings back some Louis XIV decadence to Paris. He stays true to the big-shoulders silhouette and plays with lots of gold and brocade. I LIKE a lot!!

I’ve always been a fan of Marc’s work, but this is the first time, I really fell in love with it!

It all just worked for me: the grays and beiges, the A-lines, the little fur details, the romantic touch…it all seemed so fresh, effortless and above all genuine.

The show was great, too. Its the first time, I actually watched a live stream and it was definitely worth it staying up until 2am.

Les Coupines agree: this has been one of the best Marc Jacobs shows so far!! Have a look at the whole collection here.

p.s.: and don’t miss the live stream of the Proenza Schouler show, tonight at 8pm EST on their website.

Rag & Bone

rag&bone10

Rag & Bone has all the right ingredients for the ultimate cool gal look: chunky knits, plaids, tweed, stack-heel hiking boots and lots of layering. Especially, during these days of big freeze, I wish I had every single piece of this collection to keep me warm and still incredibly stylish.

I just love all the small, well conceived details in the collection!

“The blazer is the new coat!”

This is an original quote from my Parisienne friend Melina who – TRUST me – knows what she’s talking about! We spotted great examples of the blazer-mania all over Paris but also elsewhere in the fashion landscape. HOW to wear it? Take inpiration from these stylish ladies:

Frida Gustavsson via Altamira

Swedish newcomer model FRIDA GUSTAVSSON during London fashion week in an old-school tweed blazer spiced up with vintage denim shorts and overknee-socks. Very brit!

Rumi Fashiontoast

Rumi from fashiontoast pairs her double-breasted vintage blazer with a short slipdress and all-black-accessories like the Alexander Wang Diego bag.

Ashley Olsen at Hogan

Ashley Olsen wears her grey wool blazer with a thick oversized scarf, cut-off black skinnies and classic pumps.

Same blazer, different outfit! I love how she can pull of a look that consists of only classic pieces like a cardigan, geek glasses and jeans and still look incredibly cool and sexy. Ashley, you’re my style goddess!

Ashley Olsen: Get the look

GET THE LOOK:

1. Wear a classic cardigan in bottle green with nothing underneath. I found this one at Topshop for £ 38.

2. Wear it with BASIC black skinny jeans like the Acne Kex Smooth and CUT THEM OFF right under your ankle! It’s the new thing. Slashed denim is sooo last season;-)!

3. Geek glasses in brown add a touch of “librarian”. These are the Ray Ban Wayfarers in Dark Havana.

4. Double-breasted blazer jacket from Miss Selfridge for £ 25. If you want to invest into a more special piece check the Vanessa Bruno Athé collection at La Garconne.

5. Finally a pair of classic pumps like the Louboutin Décoletté 100 jazz pumps will round this look.

So ditch your wool coats this fall: it’s all about the blazer! Got it;-)?

Isabel Marant + Me = Total Love Story

Season after season, I’m a huge fan of  Marant’s effortless and oh so Parisian style! So for next Spring it’s gonna be the sexy Pirate girl look with embellished jackets, hot pink and as always very short dresses. I don’t know about you, but I’m totally digging it !! Check the whole collection here.
