Fashions fade, style is eternal

Fancy Reading..?!

If yes, this is the perfect choice. Kelly Cutrones' book "IF YOU HAVE TO CRY GO OUTSIDE" is all about celebrating the magic inside our selves and learning to cope with the difficulties in the fashion business and beyond. Kelly is known from the reality "The City" but is the owner of the PR company "Peoples Revolution"and she very well knows how things should be done. It is full of feminism and encouraging advice on how to succeed. And she is a hell of an example. Available from February 2. And for those of you who can''t get enough of her, there's also her reality coming up... stay tuned.

The first covers of VOGUE

Isn't it strange how fashion always evolves but still manages to stay the same?? I love looking at old
magazines and getting inspired by the looks of that time- somehow they always manage to return
in fashion slightly different or not different at all. The thing is we have to keep everything in case the
trend revives (which at some time definitely will). The only solution: NEVER ENDING CLOSETS. I
personally don't quite mind, i just need a space to sleep and all the rest can be taken over by clothes.
And shoes. Oh, and bags.
I am lucky, having a well dressed mom, whose size is similar to mine, i can always "borrow"
(with no intention of returning) clothes and accessories; i have stumbled upon great vintage finds!
For example a black and red bow Balenciaga envelope, or a Louis Vuitton large monogram clutch.
Always loved to play dress up and still do.
That's what these beautiful Vogue covers reminded me of.

Cape Town

When Carine wears a cape, we say "yes m'aam" and are fashionably obliged to do the same. Not only a warm solution, but a very practical and trendy one as well. It is absolutely worthy investing in a classic cashmere cape or a plaid one; or even in an extreme leather one! It will never fail you. And a man keeping you warm could just be the accessory..

Enjoy the Coke side of Fashion Life

No doubt Milan is always full of surprises when it comes to fashion, but this time it was more delicious than ever. As a " Tribute to Fashion " the designers let their imagination free and created the most enjoyable Coca Cola bottles.
Take a sip- i mean ..take a look!

Leather & Lace..

What could possibly compare to that? Sexiness multiplied, erotic aura, to conquer or to be conquered.

Welcome!

This is strange..me typing for others to (maybe) read..
I guess it's the need to share your addictions (which i truly just recognize as "inclinations") with the rest of the world, not to feel normal and part of some larger group, but to stand out and unite your particular style with others as unique as you...

4. YSL Muse

Zip me up!

What's the charm in zips? Their obvious purpose. They serve as the medium between dressed and naked. Therefore, even when they are closed, they leave what lies underneath to the imagination of the one watching. When the designers decided to place them everywhere, they started an almost erotic game of "access all areas". So will it be "zip me up" or "zip me down"?

I heart King Kong

And obviously so does Christopher Kane in order to have created those jungle inspired pieces..Not only keeping us in touch with our " save the extinct animals" nature but at the same time transforming us into amazon-like Janes anticipating Tarzan..
Who's up for a walk int he jungle?

You are my new high..

The thigh high boots are so in you could easily assume it's a trend without future- but yet again..you cannot resist..can you?
That's what i thought.
So here are the nominees

Fantastic 4

That's what i call money well spent. Four amazing bags that never go out of fashion and are a fashion statement of their own. The ultimate wardrobe must-haves. Simple and necessary as that.

1. Hermes Birkin

Skin is IN!

Ever since Hermes announced they are breeding their own crocodiles to meet the high demand on those $50,000 bags, the Python mania has yet again begun. It's not as extinctly expensive as the croc but can adequately satisfy the fashionistas urge to feel exotic. From flats to clutches and belts to sunglasses the python skin is just about everywhere. If you are willing to pay, you can change your skin.

2. Chanel 2.55

3. Balenciaga Motorcycle

Christian Louboutin has outdone himself
(once more)

With the help of the most famous still life photographer, Peter Lippmann, Christian Louboutin transformed his creations into art pieces (not much effort there, they already are a piece of art!) , placing them as the main theme into 18th century-inspired paintings. And God created the Christian Louboutin Ad campaign. So divine.

IT SHOULD SERIOUSLY BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION TO RENAME THIS NECKLACE (after me)- THE "FILIO" NECKLACE ; I KNOW IT IS A BIT SELFISH BUT THAT IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS NECKLACE.

Neon Flashing Lights..

I have a flat! (sandal) No help necessary..

Dazzle in this season's hottest pop-artish accessories..
Eye-catching and fresh they can make you instantly happy! Choose one part of your wardrobe, splash in some neon color and transform your look, the same way the Hollywood starlets already do..Have fun!

The Bandage Dress

When it comes to Bandage Dresses there can only be one name- Herve Ledger. Hollywood's favorite designer, Herve Ledger has managed to create the absolute silhouette flattering dress; designed to draw attention to a womans curves, it's feminine, youthful and utterly fabulous.

Feel Victorian..in a CORSET

The ultimate definition of femininity, the corsets are a really sexy way to show off your assets and enhance your figure. Keep it less provocative by pairing it with just jeans, preferably the boyfriends ones or loose trousers. As for the options: unlimited; from lace to floral and from satin to denim all is seductive.

Lanvin, you had me at Hello!

Tie Dye - TO DIE FOR

The moment the Balmain Tie Dye Padded Knee Jeans were out, the tie dye trend resurfaced. It stained scarfs, dresses, bathing suits and even boots. Mainly on the color range of blue and sometimes gray, it's not always flattering to the silhouette, but it's so worth the diet..
When it comes to dresses it's all the colors of the rainbow, as long as it's accessorized lightly; really lightly.
The dark palette of the tie dye trend can easily transport us from summer to winter (God forbid).

Erin Wasson and RVCA

“It’s America, it’s the South, it’s Rock & Roll, and it’s up for interpretation"

With this sentence the gorgeous Texan model turned designer debuts her website. Her collection is a mix of rock clothing, white loose tees, feminine vests and hot pants, wearable everyday that breathe style all over. If they can make you feel like a supermodel its more than enough for me.

Designs by Tom Binns

It's so effing comfy in the front row..

I couldn't agree more with Bryanboy when he said

My, oh My Valentino.

It's my way or the Catway

The runway is a place where all fantasies come true..The perfect clothes on the perfect females. A bit misleading i have to admit, cause they never fit like that, but if we cut down on the sweets, achievable nonetheless..It's that magical moment when the lights go out, the music becomes loud, every celebrity in the front row stops gossiping and every fashionista behind them holds her breath..First model out, simply and utterly perfect strutting flawlessly with the outfit you would sell your kidney to have (we have two afterall). It's like being in the candy shop, you crave everything but you know you shouldn't eat more than one..You will either become fat or bankrupt. I would prefer a hundred times the second.

Just as i mentioned calories.. FORGIVE ME GOD CAUSE I HAVE SINNED. A G A I N..

"i spent last night with my boyfriends Ben&Jerry"

It was actually Chocolate Fudge Brownie but the pleasure is all the same..
And as my best friend E and i used to say...why on earth couldn't broccoli taste like this?!

In love with..

I am in love with shoes. I have to admit it. To myself, to my boyfriend, to my credit card (the last two already knew). The more you get, the more you want and you definetely cannot insult a designer by showing preference to the competitors..when you can satisfy them all. Ok, not all..at one time.
And when i say (or more accurately write) shoes i mean the high heeled stilettos that make the legs look so sexy and give us these extra 12 centimetres that fill us with confidence and bring us one step closer to that tall guys' mouth..or shoulder. And thank the heavenly designers that have made it so easy for us to choose from such a wide variety of devine treats (costly divine treats but calorie-free thank god!)

Because no matter how many years will pass by, we will always want the same thing; to feel good with ourselves thus to look good and to be able to fall in love and be loved.. The styles may change, but the goal of the perfect wardrobe remains the same: to seduce..

And some famous quotes that match these kind of shoes, from the infamous Zsa Zsa Gabor:
“I want a man who’s kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire?"
“There is nothing wrong with a woman welcoming all men’s advances as long as they are in cash”
“How many husbands have I had? You mean apart from my own? ”

BOYS BAGS AND SHOES

(and not particularly in that order)
after all isn't it all to impress the jentlemen? (so to speak)
i mean we all dress up to feel good about ourselves, but if there is no male feedback, i don't think we would strut around in those 4' heels that make our toes numb from pain.
It's so worth it though..
