BUSY

Soooo much happening right now - I´ve been running round like a chicken with a cut-off head. Had tons of exams, then this little trip to Strasbourg which ended in a lovely bed in Zurich because our flight was cancelled, and lots of other pretty important things (managing my friends love life and playing match-maker).

But now I am fully concentrated on F-A-S-H-I-O-N.
Haven´t sorted out my fave trend for this spring, but while staying Strasbourg (which holds lots of little delish boutiques and brands like Comptoire de Cotonniers and Petit Bateau) I indulged in a great leather handbag and Desert boots by ANDRÉ which is a shoe brand in France.

TOMORROW I AM OFF TO FRANCE - HOPING FOR BON SHOPPING!!

Vous m´excitez!

Right now I am literally craving for new things to spice up my boring wardrobe. I just don´t feel like the things I have are fresh - I don´t feel that excitement when I put on clothes I have bought recently and walk out with them feeling all proud and beautiful.
Over the years, I have discovered my love for all things bright and colourful - when it comes to handbags. I am not a big colour-wearing person, as I prefer grey over neon colours, but I love to have little flashes of  bright hues here and there.
My dream "flash" would be this little beauty:

It is classy (python, cut) and trendy (C-E-L-I-N-E - OKAY???) and bright (citron-esque colour). Pretty perfect to me.
Because of being bored with my wardrobe I decided to get things exciting again by changing my dressing personality. Over the last past months, I feel that I have become way too elegant and classy for my age. I want to play on both fields: sexaaay and lady. So maybe I´ll try to be a biker-bitch one day and a Kennedy-double the other.
What I would love to pair with that celine bag:

Add a rinsed denim, white loose cut tee and my fave trenchcoat from Zara - how cool would that be? Too cool to be true.

BIG BOOK LOVE

Got this really fab book for Christmas - FASHIONISTA by Simone Werle. It really has every notable fashionable person in it - also people I didn´t even know! Because of this book I found out about Truman Capote´s swans. Capote was a writer who was extremely well known in the last century (I do hope u know him!!!!!!) and he was obsessed with fashionable, elegant and graceful women. So he chose some girls from his clique to be his "swans" as he called them. One of them was Slim Keith.
She had this incredible modern look on the outside - but was sooooo conservative and normal for that time on the inside.

Look at that look - it seems as if she was in the EIGHTIES and that photos dates from 1940!!!!! I love her jacket. And her ponytail.

Another swan was a very powerful woman named Babe Paley. She (which Slim also did) married many rich men which gave her the oppurtinity to support as many new artists as she wanted. Truman loved her for her incredible style (never went without pearls, always accurately styled hair and always in style) and they both shared a severe smoking habit (Paley is said to have smoked herself to death).
I love every picture of her - her intense looks, the way she holds a cigarette, her clothes - everything tells a story and makes you feel as if you knew her.

As I looked through their pics, I started to believe that the 40s were actually the foreplay to the eighties: look at that dress - it looks as if Madonna has wore it!

Fashion Icons 2010

Leighton Meester - always a delight. Although some may say she is not as hot and sexy as her Gossip Girl co-star Blake Lively, I feel that that´s just because Eric Daiman (Gossip Girl´s head stylist) puts her character Blair into clothes which just do not show her petite, but toned shillouette. From her looks you can instantly feel that she is more than just interested in fashion and her faux-pas on the red carpet indicate that there may not only be a big bulk of stylists shuffling her looks together.

Delfina Delettrez Fendi - I don´t know why but I just fall for the new european elite of fashion: Delfina, Alexa, Gaia - I love u! But I think that Delfina has one special quality when it comes to dressing which makes every outftit that much more adorable: personality. Of course, sometimes even her outfits go wrong (living with this last name doesn´t help or keep you from that) but at least you can see that every piece is hers. Maybe that´s why I love the new Europeans: they have an authentic way of dressing - how refreshing!
Also, Delfina (gosh, that name!) has a really different and "new" face, a lot of creativity (she designed footwear, jewellry, you name it!) and a love for texture driven dressing which I - if I had her money - would wear too! Her combos always make her look as if she didn´t think too long, but at least a bit.

Gaia Repossi - there has to be some rule saying that if you are young, european, hot and stylish you have to become a jewellry designer. Gaia fits into that scheme too - but her designs are on a completely other level: her lush, exclusive and playful designs are breath-taking, totally on-trend and - extremely expensive. Her style represents her life as a party-goer and Parisian who wants to enjoy life AND look good while doing it.

2010

So, fellas, 2010 is oficially over - I really hope that it has been as adventorous and fantastic as it has been for me.
Fashionwise, I just got to say that although in the start of 2010 I really fell in love with Whit Ports looks, I admit now that she isn´t that big of a fashionista as I thought her to be. Then I also loved Olivia Palermos style, but then she started to wear weird chinese stuff and cut her hair so that it didn´t look the stylish way it did and I stopped loving her.

What I can´t stop loving is KATE MOSS and her way of wearing fur.
happy new year folks
