LOVE ever after

I absolutely love these images from photographer Lauren Fleishman.

She's currently working on a project called love ever after which will feature the love stories of couples who have been married for over 50 years.

How absolutely sweet.

You can see more photos of the couples here.

Perfection

Wish I had this in my backyard.

Nada Sawaya

New York based Lebanese bag designer Nada Sawaya.

Love the geometric pattern.

Balenciaga S/S 2012

For their newest campaign Balenciaga acted stronger and edgier with the whole atmosphere of a cozy yet quirky backdrop apartment with up-and-coming model Laura Kampman, photographed by Steven Meisel

I personally love the direction of the campaign. I honestly miss some "heroin chic". Im bored with all the ads with models looking way too perfect- wearing too much bling, having too long/too straight/ too shiny hair.

Anyway I love this collection with its dramatic structure, space-age fabrics and prints in a simplistic, everyday feel.

Just perfection.

Somebody That I Used To Know

Yes, I haven't blogged in a year.

But Ive got my reasons I swear to u.

With the revolution going on here since Jan 2011 plus being pregnant myself & giving birth last July, lets just say I had way too much on my plate. Now Im finally back to blogging (it being one of this year's resolutions n all)

Anyway this song has been stuck in my head since i was hearing it everywhere in London last month.

Enjoy!:)

Valentino for GAP

There are few reasons to sleep on a London pavement in November .

To roll out the bed down outside Gap's flagship store in Oxford Street on Friday 4th Nov night to be first in line for the arrival of Valentino's capsule collection on Saturday. The chance to invest in limited-edition Valentino at high-street prices doesn't come often, but Valentino has created a collection to celebrate the arrival of Gap in Italy.

Oh how i wish i was in London now.....*sigh*

Latest Lust: Chanel

I fell in love with this bag from the Fall-Winter 2010/11 Chanel collection.
I love the black paint dodge effect in the bottom, its a pop of new to the classic chanel bags but still in black n white, essentially chanel.
Although I think I would've preferred it if it was the other way round, a black bag with white paint....
What do u think?

Interior Heaven

Colour coordinated books........perfection:))))

Green Porno

This is Isabella Rossellini's series of little videos made for The Sundance Channel.

Its a bizarre and hilarious look at sex in the natural world as she explores the mating habits different animals out there.

Its creepy & delightful at the same time.

I loved them all!:)

Galaxy Galore

This fabulous collection is by Setareh Mohtarez. A graduate from Antwerp's Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Mohtarez seeks inspiration from the vast and infinite space system. Her designs, each one resembling a snapshot of the star-spangled galaxy, architecturally molded into a garment. It’s coincidental that the designer’s name is Setareh (which is an Iranian name) actually means ‘star’ in farsi.

I completely LOVE these!! Each outfit looks like a little part of the night sky.Talk about making an entrance, or a statement, or knocking everyones shoes off!!

Once again WOW!

Fashion Faces

Fashion Faces are flicks for Yalook.com by Vienna born, New York based photographer Bela Borsodi. Borsodi's work has appeared in publications such as V Magazine, Vogue and Wallpaper Magazine. He has worked with fashion brands such as Uniqlo, Baume et Mercier Watches, Hermes, and Selfridges. I just love these shots.

Bourjwah!

I attended the "Luxury for a Cause" Event last week at The Fairmont Nile City.
There were a couple of new emerging designers which i want to cover...

Heres my first one...

Bourjwah is a male clothing line created & designed by Moustafa Tonbol based in Toronto.
It is devoted to reinventing the image of the 1940’s and 1950’s vintage Parisian lifestyle. A line of luxury, the designs are exclusive as they are hand-made and created only in limited quantities. With only six new designs a season, Bourjwah is always current and fresh.

It is extremely refreshing to find someone creating a male fashion line. I personally loved the T-shirts with their vintage yet modern Parisian preppy chicness.
I got a volunteer to model my favorite T-shirt for me:)
