Spring, anyone?






I know, I know. Maybe spring fashion is the last thing you want to read about, because all the cool fashion gals have been writing about it five months ago. But I can´t recall any of it and so, we on planet earth talk about spring in spring. Which is, like, right now. Or at least which should be right now... Lousy weather!




Aaaaah, gosh I love the chanel collection. I guess chanel is a bit like a really subtle, good joke - you don´t get it at first, but after a while you love it. Last seasons long, swingy skirts were phenomous and the hair and make-up was young & freaky (green nails with fake lashes on the lower lashes). But this season totally rocked it. It was so girly, fresh and a bit tough, but not in a strict kind of way more gentle and flirty.


Okay, so you don´t have to love the clogs. I don´t - but I still think it fits perfectly and gave the whole collection something quirky and new. Because - this is my opinion - in fashion it´s always changing from opposite to opposite. So now we had stillettos (don´t worry, we still love and have ´em) and that´s why the designer felt the need to do something fresh: big, unelegant shoes. If you want to try the trend (which I would only recommend if you have long lean legs and a bit of courage for the sound they produce) go for the Zara version, they have done really nice ones which are quite high and don´t remind me too much of swedish milk maids.


But, anyway - this colour! I would love to touch the fabric, it looks so elegant and light at the same time. I love the shoulder part (thank god, shoulders are still sort of in) and the kind of white tights too. It´s also new and fresh and it is refreshing to see something else than black opaque.



Oh my gosh - this is so chique and sexy. I´d kill for this suit, or at least rob a bank!

And, you gotta take a look at the bags: the old 2.55 was styled up with nature-inspired fabrics and little flowers - so sweet.

As always, the nail lacquer was trend-setting: I love this elegant taupe nuance, because it is fashionable, but not over-done. Let´s not forget about the whole tattoo thing every magazine was crazy about: yeees, they have done something like that, but I still think - although I agree it is a fun idea - that it shouldn´t be more important than the clothes, because the tattoos wouldn´t work without the pretty suits and dresses to toughen them up.

I love this outfit, although I always dislike Lagerfelds take on the darker tones - in my opinion, he is always over-doing it by adding lots and lots of gothic-inspired elements (cuffs, tattoos, gloves,...), but this look sort of works. Maybe it´s because of the sheer headscarf dree hemingway (which is the model and grand-daughter of Ernest Hemingway, she is kinda a socialite and really stylish, which is kind of obvious) is wearing with it. It breaks the strong and strict theme of the suit and softens the shoes. I also adore the tutu-ish skirt under the a-line jacket and the round neck with the black ribbon just make me happy. This is a outfit I´d wear to every occasion which might come up, beginning from wedding to grannies b-day to funeral (spitting three times behind me and knocking on wood and no, i am so NOT supersticious! ;)).
