A gorgeous editorial from W’s September issue which I adore. The mood, the styling, the red on green… everything about this editorial is just beautiful. Photographed by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott.

Pre-Fall Outfit (1): Matchy Matchy
August 20, 2010 – 11:02 am
A black/white/red ensemble for a musical evening (COS blazer, See by Chloé shirt, DIYed necklace, Miu Miu skirt & flats). It’s Friday, happy weekend my friends! :-D
Summer Outfit (8): Cheap & Chic
August 9, 2010 – 4:04 pm
Green is my mom’s favorite color, she’s got tones of clothes in all shades of it. Unlike her, I prefer emerald green than any other green hues. So I’d like to share my love for green today.
This gorgeous 4-pockets emerald green dress is from H&M (a very well made dress with fabulous cut at shoulders. My picture doesn’t do it justice, it is more luminous and skin flattering IRL. Highly recommended, hehe. ^_*). I am pairing it with a Marni brooch, DIYed necklace and suede ballerinas from Gianna Meliani.
Have a great week everyone! :-)
The Gentlewoman
August 2, 2010 – 5:37 pm
I am not in a mood of taking new outfit pictures, so I would like to share something I’ve discovered recently:
Picture & Text Credit: gentlewoman.com
“The Gentlewoman is a new biannual style magazine for a new decade. Featuring inspirational, international women, it pairs ambitious journalism with a sartorial and intelligent perspective on fashion that is focused on personal style – the way women actually look, think and dress.
The premier issue of The Gentlewoman features in-depth interviews with designer Phoebe Philo of Céline, architect Kazuyo Sejima of SANAA, artist Jenny Holzer, winemaker Sara Pérez and DJ Princess Julia, as well as fantastic fashion series by renowned photographers such as David Sims, Alasdair McLellan, Willy Vanderperre, Liz Collins, Daniel Riera, and Benjamin Alexander Huseby.”
Sounds pretty nice, right? (it actually reminds me much like the Berlin based 032c, which is one of my favorite magazines. BTW, the gentlewoman is a Dutch publication and debuted on March 22nd). Now all I need is to figure out where to buy! If you already know, drop me a line please. ;-)
J’aime mon carré

For my fellow scarf lovers, Hermès just launched a website called jaimemoncarre.com (I love my scarf). It is a fun site which offers instructions on how to wear and knot your scarf.

Have fun browsing and getting inspired. :-)
Summer Outfit (7): Blue Breeze
July 22, 2010 – 1:31 pm
Couple of days ago a friend mentioned one of my beloved old carres which holds a special place in my heart: Le Jeu des Petits Bonheurs. It is something special for me not only because I adore the design, as its name says: Play of Life’s Little Treasures, but also because it was my very first Hermès carre. ;-)
So I would like to share a carre outfit today (shirt & leather necklace: COS, shorts: Zara, shoes: Salvatore Ferragamo).
Summer Outfit (6): Feminine with a Hint of Heavy Industry
July 20, 2010 – 11:13 am
Inspired by the beautiful Gaia Repossi, I think I really should wear some beloved pieces from my wardrobe more often. This artistic skirt from Marni is one of them. I’d like to create an office outfit this time.
Pairing it with a navy silk top from COS, Hermès belt and patent degrade sandals by Gianni Meliani. BTW, the necklace is also from COS, I love the raw industrial feeling it offers. Together with the shoes, they changed the attitude of the whole outfit, making it less ladylike but more urban and fun. :-)
Summer Outfit (5): Orange in our Hearts
July 16, 2010 – 5:25 pm
I so wish I could change the title of this post to something like “dress for success”, but unfortunately after 2 attempts in 1974 and 1978, the Dutch failed to collect the World Cup for the third time… Again. :-(
Many of my friends know that I started watching the World Cup games in 1994 and have been a supporter for the Italian team ever since. Thank God they won the champion in 2006, it was like a dream come true, so for me the long journey of being an Azzurri fan came to an end. This time I was hoping for an orange victory, because my best friend, who started watching the games together with me since 1994 is a big fan of the Netherlands. It could have all been so different for Van Marwijk’s oranje and it could have been such a wonderful summer for her…Sigh…
Maybe this is how life is, but never give up your hope! Happy weekend my friends (in a cheerful orange mood)!
Style Inspiration: Gaia Repossi
July 15, 2010 – 7:35 pm
I mentioned in one of my previous posts a young jewelery designer who impressed me with her understated French chic style. Today I happen to come across the same set of picture I’ve seen on the Madame magazine, so I think I have to share them with you. :-)
Gaia Repossi, another Italian beauty with an impeccable sense of style.
I just love seeing pictures of her, she always looks classy and elegant. Nowadays not every young & rich has good taste like her, don’t you agree? ;-)

Summer Outfit (4): Lagoon & White
July 11, 2010 – 2:27 pm
I actually wanted to try something more ethnic with this gorgeous Carré but end up with a simple white shirt and jeans shorts. A throw on ensemble is more comfy and maybe better for a hot summer day! ;-)
