I came across this French label, Gat Rimon the other day. They have really cute things going on. Here is parts of their Spring/Summer 2010 Collection.

Story-telling



By seeing the whole set of this Dolce & Gabbana ad campaign (from Spring/Summer 2010) I can easily imagine the lifestory of this character in the pictures. I must say that I love fashion ads that add more to the table than just showcasing the latest collection and this is just a perfect sample of that.

My Wishlist for this autumn




If someone out there hears my now, I want these bags for this autumn/winter. Thank you!

shoes for walking

Nelly
Shoes from Nelly


To buy or not to buy? I´m not the typical girl using high heels during the day. But I sure think it looks amazing on others. I was browsing around and I found these Nelly Shoes for around 40€ and thought I might give it a shot. So now the question is should I?

My latest bargain




I´m sick and tired of the sun and since its 35 degrees outsides there´s not much to do during the days. Therefore a good way to spend the day is to hang out in cold shopping centres. For not making the days a bit less expensive I tend to sneak around in the sales sections of the stores. This is exactly what I did yesterday and came home with this bag and 2 tops (that I will show you later) Everything for 20€ from Zara.

DOVER STREET MARKET

Dover street market

I came across this store during my studies in fashion and has for long looking forward to visit the store. Some time ago I was in London and my first priority of the trip was to know this infamous multibrand store.

Dover Street Market displays a range of high end luxury labels using highly artistic VM methods. Therefore the expectations were very high when entering and to be honest, at first sight the shop seemed slightly too commercial whereas I thought it was going to be more weight on the aesthetic and exhibiting the brands rather than selling them. Yes! A bit of a dissapointment but yet amazing when considering the mix of the brands they carry. Indeed a must when visiting London!

Fashion blooming up

Le Colette




Colette.fr offers a cool mix of blogs written by several artistic souls in different genres. Other than the blogs, Colette is a pleasant website to hang around in whereas the site can be customized after the visitors preferences in terms of Wallpaper motives and Music choises. I would say its a highly creative platform and certainly a coolhunters dream.

High-end labels offered in limited edition (and often only available at Collete), Toys, Gadgets, Funniest technology and Alternative music are just some things part of the product mix. Have a look >>>>

Off to explore my Barcelona

Barcelona Pic. by this Illustrator

I found this image the other day and I must say that it really represents Barcelona as I see it. Modern and Old at the same time. Sometimes even inspired by the 70´s. Young. Artistic and slightly Messy. Playful and Expressive.

JEWEL-CASE.



Statement necklaces are the greatest touch to a plain outfit.

Autumn / Winter 2010

Gestuz Autumn Winter 2010

These pieces from Gestuz Autumn Winter Collection are amazing. I have had my eyes on the brand for some years now and I have noticed that they keep delivering great collections season after season.
What I also like with Gestuz is that the brand maintains its typical rock chic style in each collection (while applying latest trends to it). In this way, they create a certain DNA and image to the label.

In Colours



These nail polishes are my essentials during the summer time since other than these I tend to go all natural.

Enjoying.



Beautiful summer.

The assortment of the store offers a mix of luxury vintage products from the infamous high-end brands (Louis Vuitton, Chanel, St. Laurent etc.) along with retro-chic pieces from local designer to complete the movie star look from the 60´s.

Loving sales...



Sales can be very stressful places, when stores are filled with thousands of fashionistas who are all looking for the best bargains to get their hands on. One thing that I usually do one day before the sales starts is to visit some of my favourite stores to see what they offer for the sales. Usually stores prepares their hanging 1-2 days before and therefore by looking at the hanging of the garments it is easy to see what pieces will be discounted.

For example, most of the stores tend to have outfit suggestions on their racks - where trousers, blouses and other pieces are matched together by the visual merchandiser, creating a complete look. This during the seasons. But along the sales the hangings are changed to category hanging, where trousers are gathered in one place, skirts in one, shirts in one and so on. Bigger stores need days to pull this hanging together and is usually done some days before the sales start.

This technique has helped me to save many "bad buys" and makes your bargain shopping a lot easier and less stressful. So happy shopping to you all!!
