So sorry for not posting anything lately, I am very busy doing my summer internship, 5days a week. I have got so many things to post about! I promise I will do this very soon! Meanwhile, songs which are keepeing me alive in the morning when I am going to my office at 8am! xoxoxox
I am presenting today Stella McCartney’s cruise collection, through she prefers to call it her spring 2010 collection. I love cruise collections, they are so delightful. Not only do they get you in the spirit of summer, but most creations are actually wearable, and easy to re-create for all fashion bloggers :). Stella has designed more chic sportswear and jumpsuits, but she’s accorded them a new elegance, and brings us tuxedos and printed dresses too. I love the fact that her line features everything from casual, sport outfits to chic, evening dresses. In her collection she added also some cruise touches, using stripes in her jersey dresses and tees. This collection is for me elegant, eclectic and above all functional. You can easily pick up few things from it and wear it every day. As Stella told WWD* “This collection is more consumer-friendly. We treated resort as a series of months rather than a season, and there are various fabric weights for different times of the year.” My favorite are coral parka jacket, jumpsuits and white jackets and trousers.

I found out this very interesting and creative photographer, his name is Chris Heads, and I absolutely love his work. I saved plenty of his photos on my laptop, but showing here just few, If you wish to see more, please check his blogs 365 and Go-Sees, ENJOY.
My secon favourite model Doutzen Kroes, I just love her personality, she is so cute, have great body and is so beautiful. She's delicate but not too doll-like, sexy but not sultry, feminine but not too girly, strong but not too masculine, a little quirky but subtly so. And sometimes she captures a sweet melancholy look in her eyes.
If anyone is now in Bristol or have got in plans to visit this city, should visit Brisitol City Museum and Art Gallery. Museum opended new exibition, and is showing Banksy artwork. This is his first official exibition since 2000. As you can check on video, we will have possibility to see there not only his murials, but also plenty of installations. Informtations about the exibition were closely guarded secret for last few months even from Bristol City Council chiefs.
This commercial is making me laugh so much! Victoria B. from time to time is showing us her less serious side:) I adore song from this video, apparently she was singing it on her own. What about the collection, typical clothes which Victoria would choose, very tight pencil skirts and dresses, you can see themhere.
Probably most of us know Pandora, trendsetter, history student from Paris. Her real name is Louise Ebel and her edgy, grunge-romantic style made her quite often photographed by different fashion bloggers, professional photographers, like: stylesightings, altamiranyc, facehunter,refinery29,
I just discovered this Swedish band. I have know idea, what is in the ear in Sweden that is producing so many great bands. Fever Ray realised their first album lat year in December. Both songs from this album.
Leanne Marshall, 27 years old American designer from Portland, Ore. I wanted to make a post about her a long time ago. She is a winner of last season of Project Runway. I fall in love in her design during the show, so organic in shape and very modern clothes. She prefers minimalism, but her “petal details” made her designs stand out during season 5. Her winning collection, show at Bryant Park, impressed me so much that I wish I could have at least one of her pieces in my collection. Leanne showed a wave-inspired collection draped in large panels of white, cream and shades of turquoise. Clothes rippled like waves of water when the models walked. First time I have seen such a cohesive and beautiful collection. The colors were sublime and mature and the silhouettes were architecturally contemporary. Amazing!
Leanne’s inspiration: When you were creating this collection you said waves and water were your inspiration, which is evident. Can you talk a little bit more about the inspiration and what made you decide to use sustainable fabrics? I went down by the waterfront in Portland and got inspired there and started just coming up with these patterns. As far as the sustainable fabrics…it’s something that I’m a big supporter of and I’ve used sustainable fabrics for a while and I really wanted to make sure that I had at least half sustainable textiles in my collection. But I still wanted to make sure that, you know — we were given eight thousand dollars to do this collection — I wanted to mix in some really high end fabrics which have color because sustainable textiles tend to be neutral toned. more at : www.fancast.com
Video from the show!Check it!
Two of my favourite pieces: beige skirt and white wedding dress! Fabulous!!
Unfortunately, we are not able to buy any of her pieces. All of them were auctioned off, and designers from Project Runaway are not allowed to re-create any of them. They are all meant to be one-of-a-kind for the show. But thanks good high-street shops can copy them. I have seen in few shops like Reiss and H&M skirts, which are a copy of Leanne's turquoise skirt. It will never be the same quality and shape but always something to cheer us up! Example Reiss, costs 89 Pounds

I know, i know this blog is slowly turning into a fan club of Anja Rubik, but what can I do that I adore her, and I wish her all the best! Anja spotted by www.stylesightings.com and www.garancedore.fr
Thw March Vogue Paris issue with Iris Strubegger on cover, remains very much Vogue Italia's cover from 1992. Cover was shot by: Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot. Italian cover was shoot by Steven Meisel, and model is Kirsten McMenamy.
This issued was all about Coco Chanel. The Vogue Paris cover, should be treated as a tribute (?*) to number where model was clad in everything Chanel. Anyway cover made by Alas and Piggot is very good, and It would be very nice to have this on in my collection.
If you don’t know yet Les Chiffoniers, the most hot and wanted new label, you should check it! This is a new label, started by Central Saint Martins graduate Leena Similu. She used to work for Stella McCartney and Jil Sander. In 2008 she launched her new standout collection, “Betty”. This new label became already favorite of Kate Moss and Juliette Lewis, who have been spotted few times in its signature PVC leggings. Each of the peace produced by the Les Chiffoniers holds a certain element of rock’n’roll edge, lots of chunky zips and shimmering sequins on leggings, jackets. There is also a range of soft knits, dresses and t-shirts. There is no doubt that this clothes are unique! As well loved by real ‘Fashionistas’ and indie kids (maybe not to all, because price of LC pieces if quite exclusive).
Alexander McQueen's futuristic a pair of leggings in his kaleidescopic print this is something that real "fashionistas" must have! By, by boring black leggings. BTW I was never a fan of leggings, I have got one pair (long,in black colour) but I have never wear them. I hate to wear the same what 99% of girls on the streets. So probably, I will start to wear leggings probably in few years, when they will be totally out of fashion. I just can not stand badly looking girls, with to short legs, and few pounds more, wearing them to skimpy skirts or shirts, yakh! They look good with oversized belted tops, tunics, dresses, etc. Never with small tight tops. But the new trend - futuristic patterns on leggings is attracting me very much.:)

I'm ending my dissertations. This is final weekend, deadline is for Monday. I am almost done! During my breaks, I am cheering up myself with good music! This video is an introduction to post I will publish soon.
It was very rainy today in UK, what to expect this is England :) Unfortunately since Thursday, there is a great music festival in Brighton, Great Escape, I bought a ticket, and even went for one day (on Thursday), but could not because of my work go yesterday and today. Hope my boyfriend will forgive me this!
