Abso-fuckin-lutely!

Lately i've been having a lot in mind (Kiki's comeback, Haute Couture shows, must-have summer looks, Fall 08 ad campaigns, Glasto looks, trends of the moment..) and no time to dedicate one post to each and every one of them. I was haunted. I couldn't wait. I couldn't let all this pass by. I think vacation would be an interesting solution in order to stay away from my pc. But since at the moment there 's no such plan on schedule and in order to avoid the rising blogo-stress and to catch up with the fashion's lightspeeds i just and simply decided to collect my thoughts in titles.

Blossom days

Ok maybe summertime has come way closer today that i went to the beach (!!) but i still want to have some spring fun before it's too late and the burning heat melts us all the way like ice-creams under the sun.
Talking about springtime the first thing that pops in our minds is flowers. And this is how i came to wonder how many flowers do i have in my room. I opened my wardrobe, looked in my drawers and dug a few old and a 'bouquet' of new ones.

Take some time to smell the luscious aroma of these flowers..

I will catch up with all comments soon soon enough.

To be SOLD OUT

Kate Moss' s summer collection has launched today and judging from the result she mustn't be much enthusiastic about 'designing' clothes anymore. However, i spotted a few pieces really worth it. Nothing special yet classic for summer.
Kate has already sported my favourite one. Luv its design and movement. For Moss-chest girls it seems just perfect.

Springtime is already here and i couldn't resist proposing the obvious. Girly, slghlty sheer dress made from a floral print lace in warm colours. Combine it with a pair of knee high boots for a boho result. Or with a pair of flat sandals for a more romatique look.

..I would wear it barefoot in Capri!

Item Specifics: Vintage Dress 1970's, size: 10, price: £9.95, condition: used.

Click Click* Finds #2

One of my favourite trends for the upcoming season are the catsuits/jumpsuits, which have popped up in the SS 2008 RTW shows. This Retro Vintage 1960s Turquoise Catsuit seems just perfect for THE summer look. I luv both the colour and the streching feel that the cloth seems to have. I can't say exactly the same, though, for the price(£26.30). But still.. i consider it a cool find and it intrigues me so much to try it on, right now!

Answer

It 's time for the optical style test below to be solved. And here it goes.. The reincarnation of Janis Joplin:

Survivant au Noël

Oui, je (sur)vis encore. After a week of coughing, sneezing and passing my time lying to every bed and couch of the house due to this damn fièvre constantly by my side(!). After some days- it 's actually a matter of months- of unlimited disputes amant-esques and 'fatal' moves and given my refuse to give up, i am decided now for my inside-out rebirth. Since the 'out' one is more obvious and definitely much easier, i 'm starting with the outfit i would choose for (Joyeux) Noël.


My face would be glowing but in a sense of dramatic exaggeration. It would definitely put strict boundaries to any will of sensitiveness.








The dress on my body will follow the above 'rules' making clear now my current confused mood.














The detail on the neck is of major importance. C' est juste dans les limites d' être étouffant.






The change will come at last while walking on green* bubble platforms.







*look up this colour's semiology.

Joyeux Noël to all of you, dearest fashionistas :)

..fairest of them all

While i was sleeping, having taken a bite from the wishing apple..


.the 6th Hellenic Fashion Week started and finished (24-28 oct.) Maria Mastori's and fILEP mOTWARY's show on the 27th was deeply inspirational with avant-gardesque references to mother nature never failing to pay homage to the substance of the feminine silhouette.

Rachel Weisz was transformed into Snow White and shot by Annie Leibovitz as part of Disney’s Year of a Million Dreams celebration. She said that the experience was the realisation of "every little girl's dream." Indeed, i must confess.

Along with her, Scarlet Johansson was dressed as Cinderella, Beyonce Knowles played Alice from Alice in Wonderland,David Beckham portrayed the dragon-slaying Prince Phillip, Julie Andrews posed as the Blue Fairy from Pinocchio, and world tennis number one Roger Federer as King Arthur.

Gisele will no longer accept being paid in US dollar due to its sliding value and instead she will be posing for euros only! "Contracts starting now are more attractive in euros because we don't know what will happen to the dollar," Patricia Bundchen, the model's manager and twin sister, told Bloomberg.

..et à Paris, a plethora of 1920's-themed exhibits and screenings will be hosted over the next few months, the best of which are being highlighted here.
