Gipsy summer

Carola

PlanetBlue_I

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

PlanetBlue_II

Hippie-esque jewelry. All the way!

PlanetBlue_III

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.

The mid-August list

So here’s my Gipsy Summer essential kit:

1. Fringed leather top: All Saints

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

An unexpected and truely refreshing choice for the cover of French Vogue September issue: the gorgeous Charlotte Casiraghi.

In the backseat Kate Moss wedding

Vogue US just revealed an inside look at THE fashion wedding of the year with a collection of amazing and partially never-seen-before shots by no other than superstar photographer Mario Testino. You HAVE to check this out! It’s gonna be the new benchmark for a dream wedding, seriously! My favourite take? The above is an hommage to Mick & Bianca Jagger’s backseat wedding portrait from 1971. Major!

Bridemaids kate Moss wedding

Oh and the bridemaids line-up wasn’t bad either! From left: Stella McCartney, Vivienne Westwood, Jess Hallett, Kate Moss, Rosemary Ferguson.
Bottom row, from left: Sadie Frost, Lucie de la Falaise.

Maison Michel Hiver

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

Nati

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!

proenza dress_dries booties

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:-).

american apparel shirt dress_roger vivier heels

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 heels

Missoni dress & Prada platform heels.

celine dress_hermes booties

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

h&m dress_prada bag

H&M maxi dress, Prada satchel bag.

zara dress_pierre hardy shoes

Zara dress and Pierre Hardy sandals.

Check out all of her gorgeous outfits here.

Cara Delevingne

Cara at the Serpentine gallery summer party

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

CIMG1904

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!
