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.

THE hat

The word fedora comes from the title of an 1882 play by Victorien Sardou. Princess Fédora, the heroine of the play, wore a hat similar to a fedora.

In the early part of the twentieth century, the fedora was popular in cities for its stylishness, ability to protect the wearer's head from the wind and weather, and the fact that it could be rolled up when not in use. The hat is sometimes associated with Prohibition-era gangsters and the detectives who sought to bring them to justice.

The popularity of the fedora has resulted in a large variety of styles being available. Fedoras can be found in nearly any color imaginable, but black, grey, and tan/brown are the most popular.
In Hollywood movies of the 1940s, characters often wore a fedora, particularly when playing private detectives, gangsters, or other "tough guy" roles. (source:wikipedia)

In this style that once Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca launched (or the Blues Brothers and Indiana Jones later) today we find inspiration. With a quick search that i 've made i admit that i found almost every (wanna be)-stylish female of the US and UK star system having at least one fedora-appearance in her 'book'.

A stylistic epidemy that comes and goes but is basically remaining omnipresent come rain or come shine..

WANTED!

I am not going to elaborate on how sorry i am i lost one of my daily inspirations nor am i going to create a thousand theories on where Agathe might be. I am sure that if she decides some day to show up again we will learn it. Browsing through some of her magnificent photos though, i decided to play with my favourite ones and create a Style Bytes tribute-wall!

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.

In need

I 'm feeling summertime real close. It feels like i will sleep one of the following nights and then just like that.. i 'll open my eyes and will be lying on some clean white sheet, beeing rather sweaty and listening to the sea.. I 'll wake up for good and start craving for a frozen glass of juice to quench my thirst. I 'll then wear my bikini, fill quickly my bag with the essentials and run to the beach.. This is one of the feelings that have a very strong impact on me. No matter how stressed, confused or dissappointed i am this image offers me everytime real pleasure.

But this was just a Sunday morning introduction. Today i need your help! The bag that i 've just told you above i want it to be a canvas tote, but not any canvas tote. This JACOBS BY MARC JACOBS FOR MARC BY MARC JACOBS (!!!!!) is the one i 'm having in mind.

As far as i remember it was last year's design and that's why i cannot find it online. I checked on ebay but i 'm not really happy with what i found- if you know what i mean. In case you have any other idea or you own one you want to sell i 'll be here waiting for some good news!

Are you chic enough?*

Joyeux Anniversaires à moi. Χρόνια μου πολλά και ευτυχισμένα.

Yesterday i celebrated my 24th (oh my god, i 'm getting older) birthday. But it happened to be a double celebration for both my birthday and an offer i 've been made for my upcoming postgraduate studies!!!

-Congrats!

-Thank you thank you daaaarlings! :D

So we went with my dear friends for a lux drink to T-Palace, a rather posh bar-restaurant. It 's been quite a long time since i went to such a place and i must confess that although i was sitting on a lip-shaped red couch(!) for about 3 hours i had a good good time and fun. There you go, i 'm posting a photo of its entrance. Obvious maximalism creating an almost kitsch atmosphere. Nice no?

Le outfit of the night created the image below.. Of course instead of the Philip Lim blouse i wore a similar Zara one, holding a Longchamp black clutch and not this Chloé one- which is to die for btw.





..By the end of the night i was feeling more mature. (Strawberry Daiquiris may have helped me to be more decisive but the right timing and positive energy have led to some unexpected but desirable facts..) I had thought about my life during the last year, took some serious decisions, felt like i changed brains and heart and NOW i 'm feeling balanced again. It 's not a matter of true happiness that i 'm experiencing but more of a feeling of holding your head up and feeling strong. Isn't that our first need and what we pursuit everyday?


May you all have a smarvellous weekend :)

à bientôt
