Always love looking at pics from Coachella. The carefree and easy-breathy attitude and the complete absence of so-called ‘festival must-haves’ (YES, it’s time to give those hunter boots, Mulberry bags and plaid shirts abreak!) make it so interesting. Will definitely go next year. I mean, you don’t HAVE to do the camping, right;-)?

Rumi for Ralph Lauren

Favourite blogger Rumi Neely and boyfriend Colin in a short film noir for Ralph Lauren’s Big Pony Fragrance #2.

Bon, what is there left to say…isn’t it every girl’s secret phantasy to star in a perfume ad, alongside your hot ” agent” boyfriend…?

Jewel it up!

If you wanna stock on some new jewelry check out the exciting collaborations by these two hot jewelry designers:

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.

Caroline & Julia

Caroline Sieber and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld at Paris Fashion Week. Both gorgeous but Caroline gets extra credits for her bare legs and those enviable Prada platform heels from the S/S collection that I’ve been dying to get my hands on!

Princess Blair…

…gotta choose her Prince!

Leave it to the producers of gossip girl to yet again create a highly dramatic and oh-so exciting 5 episode season finale.

So, who would you choose? The French Prince (!!), Brooklyn boy or the one and only Chuck Bass??

Ten ways to dress like a Parisienne

ten ways to dress like a parisienne

Inès de la Fressange once said: ‘You don’t need to be born in Paris to have Parisian style.’ Thanks, lady! For a start, you just have to  follow these -surprisingly simple- style rules. Be inspired!

P.S.: My favourite? Probably a pearl necklace with a rock ‘n roll vintage tee. C’est trop cool!

American INDIAN

vogue spain cover april 2011

Vogue Spain April issue.

OMG, I just LOVE the cover shoot they did on the ‘American Indian’ trend with Toni Garrn. Spanish Vogue is simply amazing. Am currently trying to figure out how to get my hands on as much Native-inspired jewelry as possible to recreate the look. Taking this Isabel Marant necklace to start with:

Can’t believe it’s Friday again/finally! Time flies. Just one more week until SPRING BREAK! I am escaping to one of my favourite places in the world: Milano (the capital of CHICISTAN). What are your plans?

Garance's New Shoes

This picture of Garance’s new heels reminds me of Milan so much! Probably because camouflage prints and Prada heels are essential components of the Milanese signature style;-).

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

If Chic-istan is a place on earth, Viviana Volpicella is its first lady (and Scott Schuman is her paparazzo). The best thing about any of her looks? The SMILE :-). Simply stunning.

Sharing some of my MK Olsen favourites. I can’t believe how old some of these pictures are! But still her look feels so relevant. From the XL beach waves to the multigringed hands and those slouchy tops with heels – she is definitely a modern icon. And will inspire the style of generations to come.

Off to Berlin for the weekend.

Have a good time out in the sun!
