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

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:-).

It’s September! THE most important fashion month has kicked off and I like to think that after a rather unspectacular summer there is a golden fall waiting for me:-). To be all set for that particular case I have put together a list of things that I just NEED (apart from the red Chanel 2.55 which proves to be a difficult mission…). Be inspired!

So here’s what!

The BASICS:

1. The Camel coat (boyfriend cut and perfect length at Topshop)

2. A Theory silk shirt (can’t live without it!)

3. Red ankle-length denim (See by Chloé via Yoox but you can also try the Zara ones for cheap-and-chic alternative!)

The ACCESSORIES (a little more since I believe in ‘Eat Pray Accessorize’):

1. YSL Tribute sandals (to be worn with ripped socks. Sigh! If only they weren’t so damn expensive!)

2. Mulberry Alexa bag in black (I didn’t like th black but now I think it’s the only I won’t get tired of all too soon)

3. Vintage YSL bracelet (try Kaplan at Matches!)

4. Ray Ban Clubmaster sunnies (a cool classic)

5. A brown belt that I can tie around any random outfit (via H&M – I love their online-store for hassle-free basics shopping)

xoxo

I’ve been flirting with these babies for the past couple of days. They are the new YSL Tribute 105 pumps in a beautiful cognac suede (sooo my color!).

Now the question is should I go for them despite their delicate material and the slightly uncomfortable KILLER heel? Or should I wait and see what kind of shape (pointy – that’s for sure!) the new season will bring and which other tempations will come my way in F/W 2010? Let me know what you thing, fellow shoe lovers;-)!

I finally found the YSL arty ring, which I have been craving for soooo long! 

After being sold out forever, it miraculously resurfaced in Paris…in my favourite colour and in my size!!! So although it is technically last season (ok with YSL, there can never really be a “last season”), I had to get it immediately. This is gonna be my very favourite summer accessory, next to this oh-so Parisian Vintage scarf, I got a Kiliwatch this weekend.

Last week the first retrospective ever on the whole work of YSL opened in Paris. The exhibit is presented by the Pierre Berge – Yves Saint Laurent Foundation and le Petit Palais in Paris. It comprises over 300 creations and is a true hommage to the master of fashion. A MUST SEE for all fashionistas!

So, if you come to Paris before the end of August make sure you don’t miss it! As for me, its already on my agenda for next week!

Have a great weekend everyone,

love from Paris, Nati

Among all the fashionistas lining up on Rue St. Honore, these two young ladies were definitely the coolest:

These two mini-fashionistas were totally into fashion brands and had already gotten the YSL manifesto last season (!)…too cute. So I could not resist taking a pic with them.

After the stressful hunt, I just had to take my bag out for a little walk in the sunny Tuileries garden…

You can find all the distribution locations here.

Just have to finish off with the Manifesto video, its too good (and Natalia too hot)!!

For a long long time now, I have been craving the YSL arty ovale ring. It is the perfect accessory to spice up each look. Just wear alone or pile them on, like the fashionable lady above from 4th and bleeker…

…wear it in Summer time, like Marie-Therese with a cute white dress and a denim vest…

…or in Fall with dark colours and an animal print coat, like Caroline.

Now, that we know how to work this statement piece, the only problem remains how to get it, cause it seems to be sold out everywhere!!

1. Lanvin landed a summer hit with its light-weight nylon totes. The fall version comes in gold, purple or black with cute flowers attached. € 527.00 at luisaviaroma.com
2. We like the flowery design of this Marc by Marc Jacobs canvas tote. $18 available only at Marc Jacobs stores.
3. If you were lucky enough to get your hands on one of the YSL Manifesto bags, this limited Stefano Pilati piece didn’t cost u a thing – if not, wait for September!

How to work it? The fabulous Jane Aldridge from seaofshoes.com knows: pair down this awesome leo-skirt  with a grey sweater  and roll up sleeves for a casual twist. It’s been VOGUE-approved!

Never been too much of a kitten lover but I was immediately taken by this YSL tribute sandal when I first spotted it at the APROPOS boutique here in Cologne. It definitely has the power to spice up my ripped denim and make this trend work for ME. I will always love u, Yves.

Voilà, some of my favourite summer looks! As with Carola, my colour palette is rather neutral with lots of black, white and grey…spiced up with some pops of gold. This summer I practically live in my jeans shorts, which I dress up with a blazer and heels or down with my favourite Miu Miu gladiators and a simple tee. Did I mention that I spent most of the time searching for the perfectly fitting white t-shirt? Sometimes, the simple things are the hardest to find…!

SUMMER FAVOURITES (from left):

1. “Karl Who” T-shirt via Colette Paris
2. Urban outfitters PCV leggings and necklace worn as bracelet
3. Black dress from ACNE via Hayashi Frankfurt
4. Comptoir des Cotonniers sandals
5. Shorts from Zara & plain tee from COS
6. My favourite girlie bracelets, which I collected over the years
7. YSL coral ring (my absolute summer crave)
8. Black leather clutch with studs from Miu Miu
9. Zara blazer and shorts

Not sure if it’s still the influence of my Milanese summers (all jet-black and dressed up despite a billlllion degrees outside!) or maybe just the fact that summers aren’t what they used to be: the color palette of my favorite summer pieces is clearly not summery…BUT I have a sort of Scottish tan going on so anything brighter than “greige” would just look ridiculous anyways (I figured)!

SUMMER FAVOURITES (from left):

1. Missoni skirt self-draped into a mini
2. Taupe leather jacket (from Italy)
3. Jil Sander platform sandals
4. Vintage Levi’s cut-off shorts (got mine at Urban Outfitters and distressed them a little)
5. Black tunic (COS) worn with a Stella McCartney silk belt
6. Track tee(s) from American Apparel
7. Vintage belt from Portobello market
8. I have a thing for men’s sunglasses -  they seem to fit my face better.
9. YSL-tee worn with Urban Outfitters necklace and a COS mini skirt
10. I put the LANVIN-bag in here because it’s from their S/S collection and I am still dreaming about it (almost) everyday. That’s fashion fanaticism. Welcome to my bubble!
