Victoria Beckham for Harper's Bazaar China

I absolutely LOVE these photos by Chen Man!!

 About her designs Victoria Beckham said:

“We always joke that we have this fabulously gorgeous 17-year-old model who is 6ft-whatever and then I say ‘OK, I’m going to put it on’.

“It’s part of the process – I’ll stand here in my knickers and start draping fabric over myself.”

 

REALLY!??

 

I think I just died a little bit on the inside today after seeing the Marni for H&M collection...

 

It's just so.... so.... um...   UGLY!

Definitely not running to the nearest H&M to get my hands on any of these

 

 

This shoe is the only thing I like, 

some of the things I don't mind, neater love nor hate... 

but most of the things I just really don't like...

I'm in love with these products

They are from a company called Davines, the collection is called Natural Tech.

It's a line of intensive treatments for the most serious problems of the scalp and hair. Natural Tech is the product of the most advanced scientific research and makes use of natural ingredients and precious essential oils to guarantee safe, long lasting, stable results, the products are 80% Organic.

I have, for some time now, suffered from intensive hair loss. 

My sister gave me this product to see if it would help, and it sure did! 

From the first wash I saw incredible results, just by looking at the shower drain!

Now I've been using these beauties for over a month and the amount of hair falling out is (my guess) about 70% less then before. Incredible!!!! 

If you are from the land of ice and snow and you want to get your hands on these

you can buy them at Hárhúsið, Stillholti, Akranesi

and for those who are not from the big ice, you can have a look on Ebay

 

Triggerfinger

 

My new favorite band! They are awesome!

I was lucky enough to see them live last weekend.

Not only is their music fantastic, but also their dress sense.

When they played last weekend at the Hammersmith Apollo they were incredible,

the singer Ruben Block was dressed in a dark grey fitted suit, a black shirt and black tie.

 

Here is my friend Leonieke with Ruben after the show

The drummer Mario Goossens was wearing a stunning striped

dark red and white blazer with dark red trousers, black shirt and a red tie.

 

My fiance with Mario after the show

The bass player Paul Van Bruystegem was wearing an all black ensemble, sleek and cool.

Here are a few You Tube videos for you to have a look at... 

Enjoy!

H&M collaborations

H&M seem to be very busy these days with collaborations.

Here's their newest campaign that will be in stores on the 8th of march

"Marni is a label that sticks to its own path, setting its own trends for print, cut and silhouette that are always playful and elegant. The Marni collection at H&M has all the freedom and experimentation for which the label is renowned, with all-over prints in strong colors all intended to be worn together in layers that both match and clash. Consuelo Castiglioni, Founder and Creative Director, wanted to create a true Marni wardrobe by revisiting all the favorite pieces in signature fabrics and prints."

This is not the only current H&M collaboration.

Elin Kling, the Swedish fashion blogger has teamed up with them 

for a collection only sold in Swedish stores. 

This could be fun!

Rise of the Tutu

For my research on Carrie Bradshaw I have been looking at a lot of different fashion items. Not only do I have to research, I also need to buy or borrow items for a photo-shoot based on Carrie. I was very inspired by the little tutu she wears in the opening credits of every show and wanted to take that further. I also remembered that she wore a mint-green colored tutu skirt in one of the Paris episodes in series 6. So after watching it back I have become tutu obsessed! I did some more searching and found that the tutu is now making a return! And should be an essential addition to every girls closet in 2012! D&G have just launched a Carrie Bradshaw inspired maxi-tutu (a.k.a tulle skirt) that comes in pink and green, and I think the green one has already sold out!

All this tulle and tutus got me to want a Lanvin for H&M dress that I´d remembered from the 2010 partnership. I searched the all mighty ebay in hope of finding one that suited my budget. I was wrong! So wrong! They were selling for just under 300 pound! I cried on the inside, but soon found other options such as a similar skirt to the one Carrie is wearing on the picture above, for 50 pounds. I decided to take a day to think it over before buying the skirt, and went to Camden to dig around in the shops there. I struck gold!!!! I found the famous Lanvin dress for 70 pounds, I couldn't believe it! 

And now it's mine! I can use it for my photo-shoot and for my own personal use, I'm so happy! And if I need to, I can sell it on ebay for 300 punds!

SCORE!

Think I'm still gonna have to buy the skirt though, since it's gonna be an essential for the fashion year of 2012!

Wanted!

Yes please!

Style icon

For my styling course this term we need to do a project on a style icon, be it our grandmas or Lady Gaga or anyone in between, it's up to us. I have thought long an hard about this and have now decided to go with.....

 

No, not Sarah Jessica Parker, but Carrie Bradshaw!

Let the Sex and The City marathon begin!

ehh I mean....let the research begin!!

Lovely lips

 

I went on a journey yesterday to the MAC shop on Carnaby street, the mission was to buy my first ever lipstick!

I got great service, and an big "REALLY?" when I told the sales assistant why I was there... 

So the color that I chose is called Fusion Pink, it was the first one I tried on, and the one that the others 

just couldn't compete with

I feel like there will be more beautiful lipsticks coming my way... 

just look at them, waiting for me!
