Suit Up

Small prints have been trendy for a while, but this new take on small printed suits is new to me. I am really liking this way to mix prints but still look so chic and stylish! :-)

The Mecca of Fashion

At the moment I am really fascinated by Asian Street Fashion and its impact on the fashion world. Tokyo, for instance is known for setting new trends with cutting edge style, that can be crazy and "kawaii" (cute). The picture are from the trendy areas Harajuku or Shibuya.These picture can only give you a glimpse into the Japanese Street Fashion culture and some inspiration for your own closet! :-). How cute are these faux fur coats??!?! Maggie can we please get matching ones? You did say you wanted faux fur coat!!! ;)

Plié, Jeté, Pas de bourrée

"We all know the story. Virginal girl, pure and sweet, trapped in the body of a swan. She desires freedom, but only true love can break the spell. Her wish is nearly granted in the form of a prince. But before he can declare his love, her lustful twin, the Black Swan, tricks and seduces him. Devastated the White Swan leaps off a cliff, killing herself and in death finds freedom."

There is nothing more beautiful and graceful than watching a Primaballerina dancing her solo. The movie Black Swan is my inspiration for these two outfits. I love this ballett inspirate trend, which is great for a classic, girly and romantic look.

Let's Rock the New Year: Philipp Plein

I was watching a new show today and learnt about the Philip Plein Label. I got curious and checked out his website and I love his stuff. It's is young and edgy but still chic! His cloth is great for man and woman who dare to be different! :-)

Philip Plein is a German deisgner who started his label not too long along. Currently, Mischa Barton is the new face for his Corture line.

How much do we love those black crystal high heels or the peace leather jacket?!!?!?

Kiss me and smile for me

I love wearing dresses. Today I stopped by Zara and got the black and white dresses on sale. I like them since they are flowy and very different from the dresses I usually have. Few weeks ago, while I was shopping with my girlfriends they convinced me to buy a brown fake-leather dress. Still need to figure out there I can wear it!! But I do love leather. ;-)

And I really need to go back to work because I have been shopping too much and really doesn't help that there are Sales everywhere..... but then I do need new cloth as a soon-to-be real working girl! :-)

Leighton Meester – not just the Upper East Side Girl

As Blair Waldorf, Leighton plays the role of the classic Upper East Side Rich Girl. Her style is inspired by old Hollywood icons such as Audrey Hepburn.

But her personal glam-rock-chic is just as fabulous. I love how she takes risks in her outfits and playing with the extremes. She can rock the killer heels just as much as a pair of UGGS. She always manages to look sophisticated, coordinated but still with an edge. Leighton has many facets to her style, it never gets boring with her and she is my style icon of 2010.

Makes my Hearts Jump.

I have been looking for a small side bag for a while and I finally found this cute taupe colored side bag at Zara.

I am loving the men stlye shorts trend. I got my pair from Zara in a Millitary green tone. The look of a feminie flower blouse, ruffle cardigan and some high heels creates a very chic casual look.

Continuing my love for camel, I now have purchased a pair of camel skinnys (Vero Moda), paired up with some great short boots from Buffalo.

.....as you can see. I am really into the natrual earth tones this winter. ^-^

Work Chic

After graduating from college, I was very excited to start my internship and finally being able to switch my daily "college-sweatpants-flipflop" look with some high heels and pencil skirts. As women, we do have a pretty broad sprectrum of what is considered working attire. However, I did not want to make black and grey pant suits my daily look.

My goal is to look professional while keeping my personal style. I, for instance, love to add some sparkle to my outfits, with a trendy belt, leopard print scarve or a headband ^_^!!!

And let's face it in a world of suits, add a little fun and give your outfit the uniqueness.

Fall Trend: Blues and Purples

Tommy Hilfiger, MarcoPolo, Zara, A&F and Rugby Ralph Lauren

The fall is here and it is time for us to embrace some deep colors in our closets. Already seen at the Golden Globes this year, eggplant is in and navy is not just for summer days. Girls, set little color accents in your look and boys, these colors are not just for girls. (I personally love navy and deep purple tones, so no surprise that I am wearing a purple knit cardigan as I’m writing this and have my short BR navy blue jacket with me today ^^)

Purple: the eggplant color is perfect for both warm weather and cooler fall. This aubergine tone is the right blend of blue red which is perfect for every outfit!

Navy Blue: Classic. Paired up with a crispy white shirt it can look sophisticated and elegant. But this color mixed in plaid shirts and Jeans, creates the casual preppy collegiate look.

Fashion Week Spring 2011

“The best color in the whole world, is the one that looks good, on you!”

- Coco Chanel

With the end of two great events in the fashion world, New York Fashion Week and London Fashion Week, and with Milan Fashion Week still going strong, we now know what designers want us to wear in the next season to be “fashionable.” But let’s be realistic--not everything that comes down the runway can actually be worn or suits every body type. Everything should be taken with a grain of salt.

While New York Fashion Week was a dream in white, London’s idea was neon pink, acid yellow and cool aquas. So far in Milan, Prada seems to be all about Monkeys.

Like Tina Gaudoin said in her column for the WSJ:
"so transient are trends that the phrase 'in fashion' is almost entirely redundant. By definition, the moment you are wearing something 'fashionable,' you become a follower and not a leader."

Fashion is about having fun. If you love and feel comfortable in something, wear it with confidence. So what if it is from Forever 21 not Dolce? Like Gaudoin said, “With confidence comes style. For whilst these days there might be little use for the description 'fashionable,' there is certainly much to be said for being stylish (with all that the term implies, including good taste and longevity)."

On that note, au revoir and see you in Paris for the new trends from Chanel, Miu Miu, Westwood & co., and Bisous Bisous.

Must-Have: Summer 2010

Sheer blouses is the hot trend this summer, whether on a fun night out with your girlfriends or a casual Sunday brunch. A sexy and romantic look.

Plaid does not go out of style!

and of course 3D Skirts and Gladiator Heels.
