Maison Michel Hiver

August 2, 2011 / No Comments

I’m in love with the lookbook of the new Maison Michel winter collection, featuring Sasha Pivovarova, Anna Calvi and favourite French actress Clemene Poesy, all captured by Karl Lagerfeld.

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!

R.I.P. Amy

Yesterday Amy Winehouse passed away at the age of 27. We are shocked and sad.

Amy was a great artist with a unique voice and iconic style.

L’Idole, styled by Emmanuelle Alt for the February issue of Vogue Paris, is an hommage to Amy’s authentic style:

Miroslava Duma now blogging!

July 7, 2011 / 1 Comment

Breaking news! The Sartorialist darling & ex-Harper’s-Russia editor Miroslava Duma started posting her outfits on the Russian online platform Buro 24/7. As a long-time admirer of her polished high-profile look I have spent half of my afternoon decoding cyrillic (!) terms for her individual outfit components. Totally worth the effort, let me tell ya! I am now able to inform you that she is wearing a Proenza Schouler dress in the above picture accessorized with a Marni necklace, a pair of Dries van Noten heels and Céline sunnies:-).

Miroslava in an American Apparel dress, Roger Vivier sandals & Cutler & Gross sunnies.

What I love especially about her style is that she keeps it SIMPLE (never more than four different pieces mixed together) and casually combines statement-making designer gear with highstreet finds.

Missoni dress & Prada platform heels.

Céline dress, Rayban sunnies & Hèrmes peeptoes. Noone can pull of a pair of nerdy glasses like Miroslava does!

H&M maxi dress, Prada satchel bag.

Zara dress and Pierre Hardy sandals.

Check out all of her gorgeous outfits here.

Cara Delevingne

Cara Delevingne (yes, it’s Poppy’s younger sister!) at the Serpentine summer party in London last month. I instantly want to pack my bags and move to London when looking at it. Where else in the world could wearing a hippie-esque headband & heavy motorcycle booties to a fancy cocktail event result in the evening’s most-wowed outfit?

Garance x Reiss

June 17, 2011 / No Comments

The good news first: all of us who missed out on those highly coveted T-shirts by Garance Dore for Gap, have now the possibility to get one of these goodies for Elle UK readers!!

The bad news: if you’re not a UK resident or have your BBF living there (who will run to the newsstand and fdex you Elle’s newest issue + t-shirt) it might be difficult to score one of them!

LUCKILY, Garance thought of us… and all we have to do is share our worst (fashion) advice ever!!

Bon, we should be able to come up with something, right…;)??

Happy weekend and good luck!

To the men…

Well, usually the posts on this blog are kind of skewed towards our female readers…so no better occasion to make up for this than during Pitti Uomo in Florence!

Voila, some of our favourite male streetstyles:

Isabel Marant campaign

June 15, 2011 / 1 Comment

Voila a preview of the new Fall 2011 Isabel Marant campaign, featuring Freja by Mario Sorrenti:

I bet you all remember the most recent – and more commercial – campaigns with Gisele for Spring 2010 and Kate Moss for Fall 2010.

But what about the older ones ?

To me they better represent the true Isabel Marant spirit. Here’s a little trip down memory lane ;)

Spring 2007 with Erin Wasson:

Fall 2007 with Malgosia Bela, by Terry Richardson:

Spring 2008 with Angela Lindvall, by Terry Richardson (I loooved this one!!):

Fall 2008 for the first time with Daria by Lamsweerde & Vinoodh (probably my favourite..):

The fishnet part deux

June 14, 2011 / No Comments

Yesterday, we had a look at how some of our favourite fashion girls wear the Isabel Marant fishnet tank…

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

The fishnet

June 13, 2011 / 1 Comment

To me one of the most controversial pieces this summer: the Isabel Marant fishnet tank.

When I first saw it on the runway, I had a total 70′s association and I didn’t like it at all…but I got used to it after seeing it in countless editorials over the past few months (it is indeed the perfect layering piece for summer)…

So lets see how our favourite fashionistas wear it:

Elin pairs it with a plain bra, tight ACNE skirt and a black leather clutch.

Rumi wears it as a dress, with a white tank below, tough boots and a parka.

Kate wears the total Marant look. She also rocked the fishnet top on the Nylon cover of March.

So what do you think? Hot or not?

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

Gillian-ized

June 10, 2011 / 1 Comment

Gotta love Gillian Zinser! She’s the coolest boho-girl out there. Here’s some of my favorite Gillian-outfits:

Don’t think I know anyone else who can effortlessly pull off the pink hair and a baggy dress. Oh well, a perfect complexion helps I guess.

White crochet mini dress, lace-up suede boots and fluo-coloredsatchel bag perfectly set off with oversized sunnies and dramatic hair!

Gillian in fringed pants and Budweiser vintage tee at the Nylon Mag party. Even next to Kate Bosworth’s Dolce & Gabbana lace ensemble she looked good!

This is probably my absolute favourite! Very Californ-I-A.

A tunic layered over a printed maxi skirt works with the cropped biker and a vintage hat. Her outfits never miss to inspire. Go, Gillian!
