Giveaway Madness

Christmas is coming and lots of blogs and websites are hosting giveaways. I think I spent a whole day subscribing to hundreds of them! I find them great, and I hope I could host one here sooner or later.

Here are the best ones I could find; there were lots more but they were only for US residents.

- Teen Vogue is giving away tons of stuff.

- Polyvore has three contests going on - What's on your wishlist?, Glam up your holidays with Michael Kors and Luisaviaroma.com / the style guide challenge.

- Glamour Magazine is offering a Mulberry x Target bag and a bag full of goodies.

- German I ♥ ponys is making an amazing advent calendar.

- Fashionising is offering fantastic stuff like a Karl Lagerfeld scarf and a vintage Missoni dress.

- Fabsugar gives you the chance to win a Hèrmes Kelly (I just noticed it's open only to US residents, arrghh)

- Self.com is hosting two giveaways: one and two.

- Net-a-porter offers a $5000 shopping spree.

- The Beauty Counter's giveaway features a nice Leila Lou makeup set. At least it looks so!

- Zagg.com is giving away some hi-tech goods like iPads and iMacs.

La città eterna

Like every year, my family and I go to Rome at the beginning of December for a shopping trip - and every time we go back home without a single shopping bag. I don't know how's that possible.

I only got to buy this book, since my favourite magazines/cds store closed and I didn't know until I got in front of it.

Jeans: Zara
Scarf: H&M

Sophie Hulme

I quite like Sophie Hulme's work; it's basic and simple but has something special to it, like the little gold details added to almost every piece.

Anna Jazewitsch

I just discovered a young, talented designer named Anna Jazewitsch. While I try to find more about her, look at her first two collections: Marmographica and Ofimatica.

you know I'm crazy for design and draping.

Alyson Fox

Today I want to introduce to you an artist with some wicked skills, Alyson Fox. She's a great photographer, plus she makes adorable pieces of jewellery. Have a look at them on her Etsy shop.

Henrik Vibskov F/W 2010

some creations by the amazing Scandinavian designer Henrik Vibskov.

Lanvin for H&M [2]

Ok, I'm late but I think it's time to write a post about Lanvin x H&M.
I wasn't expecting much.. it's H&M after all, and the clothes are probably made by underpaid Indonesian children.. but I think the whole collection is a bit too trashy. That flower stamp is horrible.

These are the only pieces I like.

Leighton Meester by Christophe Meimoon

one of the most beautiful girls on Earth, I think.

Mother of Pearl X Jim Lambie

English label Mother of Pearl is collaborating with artist Jim Lambie for its S/S 10 collection. A very small but wearable one, characterized by clear and geometric lines together with Lambie's graphics.

I really like Maia Norman's work. The previous collections were great, and so is the current one.

The Vamoose

Some work by the amazing Kathryn Blackmore, aka The Vamoose.
I wish I was able to create things like these with my hands. They are so natural and delicate.. be sure you check her shop.
