Stay tuned...

ON HOLD

At the moment I am super busy on my thesis to graduate for my Communications study in June. So to focus myself completely on my research I will have to put this blog on hold for a while.. :(
But in June, I'll be back again...! :D 

Stay tuned..

BLOG FOCUS: Song of Style



Song of Style 











 California style, that is precisely how you can describe Aimee's style. The LA/SF local combines fabrics, colors and layering in Spring or Winter but keeps to her signature style. Totally in tune but always surprising, Aimee Song really has a cool way to inspire you to work with what's in your closet.. But with the delicious warmth and beautiful scenery of California, who wouldn't enjoy dressing up every day! Check out her blog here to get inspired..

Actually both Derek Lam PRE-Fall and Fall were AMAZING!!

DIY PROJECT: Balenciaga heels



Pourqoui? Donc..


Even though there from an 'old' season (Spring - the shaaaame!) I love them!..
Why? The one and only TTH (Taylor Tomasi Hill, bless her) wears them and they look like the greatest multiplication of tough x cute x simple x leather x elegant x versatile..(I can go on, you know..)




So instead of searching the world around for these babies, I decided to be inspired and diy!





Stay tuned for the REAL diy!!

RUNWAY LOVE | Mara Hoffman Fall 2012 |


Remember my diy project with the Mara Hoffman/Sincerely Jules inspiration (here)?
Well, her new 2012 Fall collection shown in New York this month isn't any less diy-worthy!
Again lots of prints and colors but now more in a western/Indian kind of way with big knits, hats, lots of black and sheer!


Here are some of my favorites with diy possibilities - let the hunt for neon color print fabric BEGIN!


2 x 1,5 meter fabric for a MAXIdress

MISCELLANEOUS: Sh*t fashion girls say

UNRELATED

This is totally unrelated to any diy post, but yet... so freaking funny!
It's a parody on the - also very very - funny 'Sh*t girls say' episodes on YouTube
What it here 



"How do we feel about bangs? 
I think I'm going to get bangs! 
Omg I hate my bangssss!"

Inspiration: Simple vs. Overload


Simple vs Overload


While most of the bloggers I follow prefer the modernerity of Simple and Clean dressing, I love bloggers who know how to combine colours, prints and spice things up with Va-va-voom heels and extravagant jewelry.
And while very sophisticated, Blair from Atlantic-Pacific is becoming a shooting star in my book of 'Combine & Shine'! Key items she uses are: good fits, neutral make-up (with a hint of colorful lipstick) and well-thought-about accessories..[Maybe it's her killer closet that helps, but] I really love the way she turns multiple (colorful) pieces to a cooperating outfit - LURVS IT!
