Thanks Mom!

Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!
I love unexpected presents. And this was the perfect one...I've been thinking of buying Chloé Eau de Parfum for a while, and now my mum gave it to me as a present when I went for a few days visit.
It smells soooo good, it stays on my skin forever, and the bottle is so pretty and it's also so nice holding it, because of the relief that the glass has, apparently it's inspired by the pleats of some Chloé blouse.
Highly reccomended...I think it's my new favourite.

Project Runway...(really)

So I'm back, after a stressful month, full of stuff to do for Uni, a little depression and some health issues. Hope you are all fine! It's so good to see you again.

This has been my first totally free weekend, and among other things I have to confess that I watched the entire 5th season of Project Runway. I'm not a fan of "Reality TV" at all...but my best friend, who is quite a TV lover insisted that I had to watch it because there was a girl there whose design I was going to love. All right then...I watched Project Runway in two days. I was free but also dealing with a flu, so I had to stay at home.
I was quite surprised because the program is not as bad as I imagined. It's great that they focus on the work of the contestants and not on their personal life and the stuff they do when they are not designing. It was TV after all, a reality show, but it was ok. Also, I found a lot of creations that I didn't like AT ALL...but my friend was right. There was a unique jewel there, called Leanne Marshall. I totally loved her style, which is very unique. It was a surprise...and well, my friend didn't tell me who was the contestant I was going to love, but I knew it just from the beggining.
Of course, she won. And made a fabulous final collection that I loved. I would totally wear anything from it. And the beautiful colours, and the cute shapes, and all those waves and ruffles..
Check it out...

My favourite

Those beautiful colours!!

I did a little bit of research about the lovely Leanne on the web, and found her website, which you can visit here. And some pics of other creations by her, from which I selected these, because I'm crazy in love with them..

Sorry for abandoning the blog for a while...it was a tough month, really. But I missed it a lot, and I missed reading the other fab fashions blogs...Thanks anyways for passing by, and it's nice to be a bit free again.

(Mary) Janes Addiction

I'm a shoe addict. But after many many pairs, I've realised that Mary Janes are probably my favourite type of shoe. No matter if they are flats, mid heels, or really high heels...no matter the colour. I'm addicted to Mary Janes!

So, when I went shopping on Saturday and saw these ridiculously pretty, comfortable and affordable black patent Mary Js I had to buy them. They are a basic that I'm gonna love wearing (although I already have other three pairs of black flat Mary Js, haha).

Have you got any favourite shoe??

Have you heard the good news? Have you, have you??
They are great news!
Apparently, Phoebe Philo is back!

After a couple of years after she left Chloé to live, relax and take care of her baby, the fabulous Brit that I totally adore is back to be the creative director for the legendary French brand Celine.

I adore Phoebe Philo. Her creations for Chloé were just...a dream.
How will this new phase be?
We'll see soon, I hope!

I'm happy too, Phoebe

Promise: a really cool post about Phoebe Philo and why I love her Chloé years and her creative vision in general, very very soon. She totally deserves it, huh? This is too short, just a little news update.

LFW Favs (I)

So, now that it's over, it's time to think about all seen at London Fashion Week...isn't LFW wonderful? I love it, because it's always very surprising, less classic than the others, more experimental, always with a touch of punk, a touch of rock, a touch of new young designers with lots of ideas and powerful originality trying to have a name in that difficult world...the fashion world.
Talking about young designers, here are some images from Charles Anasatase's show, one of my favourites, no doubt!!
I totally adored his collection, it was a great mix of many many things I love...geeky glasses, absolutely faboulous stockings (worn under transparent skirts many times), cardigans, silk, high waists, delicate colours, delicate garments, flounces, disturbed innocence, Lolitesque malicious ways, candid dresses with biker jackets, and that "fairy tale" athmosphere he likes (he actually has a 2005 collection based on Alice in Wonderland)...
Mr. Anastase, the 29 year old French genious based in Paris, made me feel happy to be a girl and, as a girl, honoured with such a very girly collection, but realistic with what being a girl is. And jealous, because I can't have all those wonderful outfits he created.

Obsession

Chloé Susan ankle boots...I can't stop thinking of them.
