I heart mail ++ my987wardrobe.com

2012-02-20T22:03:00.000+01:00

My week in Dublin was probably the worst of my life, for reasons I don't even want to talk about. The only good thing there was shopping, really (but I think I'm going to talk about that in another post). I never thought I could miss my home so much and I was so happy to come back. I was even happier when I found lots of parcels waiting for me - I'm convinced that getting mail is like the grown-up version of Santa, because you get exactly the same feeling!
Beside two packets from Romwe (tights and jewelry I won in a giveaway.. lucky me) and some rhinestones (?!) I also got something from lovely Laura at My987wardrobe.com.. look at the photos and guess what it is :)

Launched in 2010, My987wardrobe.com is an online shopping website for women where each and every item costs just £9.87 or £19.87. That's right: everything on the website (and that means jeans, dresses, jackets, bags, jewelry, hair accessories) costs less than £10 or £20! Such a cool idea. Also, the website is run buy a former Topshop buyer - this means you can't possibly find any rubbish there.

I was sent the Butterfly Back dress and the Vintage Style Lace dress to try. The first one has a beautiful cut-out back I fell in love with. When I chose this dress I wasn't too sure about it, but I turned out to like it very much! It's a bit too tight on my hips but nevermind, there's thousands of ways you can wear this dress.. as a t-shirt for example. It looks like a plain black dress from the front, but the detailing on the back makes it quite elegant and perfect for going out at night. Also, it's 100% cotton, so it's soft and comfy!
As you can see from the photos, the second one is really my style. Although I'm not a huge fan of full-lace dresses, I like this one - maybe because it reminds me of a vintage nightgown! The embroidered detail on the front is what makes this dress an actual one and not just lingerie in my opinion ;) I'll definitely be using this dress lot in the summer!

I really can't tell which one I like the most, because they're both gorgeous in different ways. I love how they both are so versatile: you can wear them at night and day just styling them differently. Overall, My987wardrobe.com made a very good impression on me. Although it's been called "the Primark of the internet", you can get quite good stuff there! I think the concept of selling everything at such a low price is interesting - the prices at H&M or Zara can be much higher sometimes. I'm curious to see how this website will develop!

PS: I changed the layout a bit. Do you like it? :)

Irish readers - I need your help!

2012-02-09T14:30:00.000+01:00

Hello everyone! I'm leaving for Dublin tomorrow morning. I'm going to stay there for one week with my schoolmates to improve our English! I'm really excited and I still have lots of things to do, but I found the time to write something here nonetheless. Since I haven't had much time to research, I wanted to ask you some advice on where to shop for clothes and make-up, where to eat, what to see.. just cool things to do there! Any help would be much appreciated! :)

So I'll be back home on the 18th, hopefully with lots of photos, purchases and most of all memories to share with you. Lots of love! x

Marni x H&M Backstage

2012-02-07T11:27:00.000+01:00

Although I'm not much of a fan of Marni's bold prints or collaborations with high street stores, I liked the Marni x H&M campaign backstage video. Guess why? It was filmed by Sofia Coppola!

The collection will launch on March 8th in selected stores.

Best of Couture - Spring / Summer ' 12

2012-02-04T10:27:00.000+01:00

For me, Couture means attention for the details. And I think the following designers think the same thing when creating their collections.

Dilek Hanif

Elie Saab (This one was probably my favourite look from all the couture collections. Just look at it. It takes your breath away how many hours it took to realize it)

Valentino

Zuhair Murad

Cutey bracelet giveaway winner

2012-02-01T19:09:00.002+01:00

Hello everyone! I'm sorry I haven't blogged in such a long time, but I've been quite busy. I was in Milan during the weekend too, so I just haven't had the time! I'll be back soon with some interesting posts anyway. There is something important I have to announce though, and that is the Cutey bracelet giveaway winner!

Congratulations Nora Piros! I just sent you an email :)

I wanted to thank all my followers, old and new. I'm very happy for the huge response I got for this giveaway and I can't wait to make some more!

LaDurée Les Merveilleuses

2012-01-26T14:59:00.001+01:00

Any girl with a bit of femininity will love this make-up collection by LaDurée. Yes, LaDurée, the French pâtisserie house worldwide famous for their macarons has teamed with the Japanese cosmetic brand Albion to launch a wide range of make-up, including blushes, foundations, lipsticks and even primers.

In all honesty, I forgot how to breathe when I saw these photos.

Face Color Rose

Pressed Cheek Color (in 20 shades!)

Fluid Foundation

The collection will launch on January 29th in Asia, while us Europeans will apparently have to wait until this Fall. Seriously, I can't wait to get EVERYTHING from this collection! I'm a sucker for make-up with a nice packaging, haha.

Gelato Pique

2012-01-24T19:37:00.000+01:00

Gelato Pique is another Japanese brand I've discovered recently. All the clothes you see in the photos below are designed to be worn in the house - but honestly, who wouldn't want everybody to see these lovely dresses?

Cutey - review and giveaway

2011-12-28T15:05:00.001+01:00

Some time ago I was contacted by Cutey, a jewelry brand from UK. They've just started so they asked me to review their bracelets. I was very happy to receive the Gaia and Eris charm bracelets. Let's have a closer look at them, shall we?

The Cutey bracelets are made by beads of different colours and shapes. Each piece of jewelry comes with several beads that can be easily added or removed, so it's like having different bracelets! How nice is that? The picture below shows the Gaia bracelet. It features pink, light green and silver beads; some of them look like made of Murano glass, which I really like. My favourite part of the bracelet is the multi-faceted pink bead. It has a regular clasp, a bit difficult to close with one hand! I always find that kind of clasp a bit uncomfortable; you always need an extra pair of hands to manage it, haha! It's very feminine and classy overall - I think I'm gonna wear it a lot.

The Cutey bracelets come in two different chain lengths, 20cm and 18cm. The 20cm one, Gaia, fitted my wrist perfectly, while Eris was a tiny bit too tight. Nothing too uncomfortable anyway.

This one is Eris. It features red toned beads and a large key charm. It's a bit less girly than the Gaia one. It has a different clasp from the Gaia that you can see better in the photo on the website here, which I find easier to close. It's a pretty little bracelet, but I think it'd look even nicer without the red beads! Or maybe even without all the beads, just with the key charm. I'm a minimalist when it comes to jewelry, haha! ;)

I love how with Cutey you can get cute bracelets without spending hundreds of euros on a Pandora. You get the same style but a much lower pice - only £12,99! The Cutey bracelets are pre-made now, but soon you'll be able to choose your own beads to create a personalized bracelet, just like with Pandora.

Another thing I like about Cutey is the names of the pieces of jewelry! Tartarus, Pontus, Hemera, Moirae.. they all come from the Greek mythology.. I love that!

As you can see, they look lovely even worn together, but I'm going to part with Eris (which, by the way, is already sold out on their website.) Yes, I'm going to give it away! Just fill up the form below to win a Cutey bracelet :)

Franche Lippée

2011-12-27T18:55:00.000+01:00

I just fell in love with the Japanese brand Franche Lippée. The style is 'Mori', which means romantic clothes in pastel colours. Lots of chiffon, lace and soft fabrics are used - how could I not love that?? Too bad I can't read what's on their site or find a trustworthy website that sells their clothes!

PS: 500 followers? WHAT? Thank you so much. I love you all to bits!

A Nica Christmas

2011-12-20T15:57:00.001+01:00

Remember a few months ago, when I got my Nica satchel for my birthday? Now I've just received the Frankie Frame Grab I asked my parents for Christmas! Of course I ordered it one day and paid it €75, and the day after it was discounted at €35. *sigh* The discount is still on anyway, so hurry and treat yourself!

I love Nica bags. I discovered them earlier this year in the Oxford Circus Topshop in London and loved them at first sight. When I was thinking about what to ask for Christmas I immediately thought of a Nica bag! I really needed a bag for winter and I think this one is perfect. Black and gold basically go with everything I wear, and it's quite capacious as well.

I also got a lovely necklace for free! How can you not love Nica?

Florence Welch by Mario Testino - Vogue UK Dec. 2011

2011-12-14T20:41:00.002+01:00

Lately I've been literally obsessing over Florence + The Machine. I know every single song of theirs by heart, and the singer Florence Welch is definitely one of my style icons. I absolutely adore her 'grown-up', more elegant style she adopted for her new album Ceremonials. She looks like a goddess to me and I think Mario Testino who did the photos below feels the same way too, haha!

PS: sorry for the crappy quality of the photos, I found them on some random site.

Lately I've been obsessing over Japan: Japanese fashion, Japanese make-up, Japanese people in general. I've been interested in that country since I was a little girl, but I've never showed it very much. I love how the girls there are so extreme! Think about Himegyaru and Gothic Lolitas. They care about every detail. I think my favourite Japanese fashion style is Mori though :)

Some days ago I found some beautiful magazine scans - I can't understand a single word (well, I can't even read it) but surely they're nice to look at!

Etsy Finds + Giveaway Winner

2011-10-25T22:07:00.000+02:00

I like to think of myself as a creative person, but everytime I visit Etsy I have to reconsider.
Here are some nice shops I found recently.

1. Seapinks: completely useless pincushions, but don't they look lovely?

2. Starbags

3. and let's not talk about those fabrics. I think I'm going to buy kilometers of them. (visit kokkagirls and beautifulwork)

4. Eco-friendly Beauty

If you have spare time, visit Shrimp Salad Circus and Accidental Encounters. I recently won their giveaways - I'm so lucky in this kind of things it embarasses me. I really look forward to try Red Leaf's products, and remember Groomy? now I own the most adorable wallet in the universe :)

I was almost forgetting - a lot of time has passed and I'm incredibly sorry, but finally the giveaway has a winner!

Congrats Oksana!

Stay tuned because a Christmas giveaway is coming up very soon - a little hint? Bambi :)

"uneasy lies the head that wears a crown"

2011-09-26T14:57:00.000+02:00

After making flowercrowns over flowercrowns this summer, I started making crowns out of silver wire.

I honestly think it's one of the nicest things I've ever done. I'm quite satisfied with it :)

The right part reminds me of spiderwebs. Which is not really a good thing, as I'm the most arachnophobic person in the world.

Groomy

2011-09-23T18:58:00.000+02:00

Today I found the cutest toiletry bags and accessories brand ever, simply put.
Groomy is an Australian label created by daughter & mom Tania and Julie Fittkau.
I think the items they sell, they're actually too cute to be used. Handmade little pouches in those beautiful prints? I would never want to hid one of Groomy creations in my bag!

The September Issue: Vogue Paris

2011-09-12T21:25:00.000+02:00

A few days ago I got my Vogue Paris September issue (and my Vogue Italia too, I'll blog about it soon) .. a very French number.

I loved this ad by the French label By Malene Birger. I always dress up like this in Winter.

The interview and editorial about Charlotte Casiraghi were definitely the best in the whole magazine. She is so beautiful and effortlessly chic, and perfectly embodies the essence of the French girl. And she's a princess, too!

I really liked the fact that basically the whole issue was dedicated to French people, such as Léa Seydoux and Lou Doillon.

The September Issue: Vogue UK

2011-08-29T21:39:00.001+02:00

Every August I start saving up money, and you know why. I love magazines, and most of all I love September issues.

I like Vogue UK best than Vogue America. It's something in between what I call a magazine-magazine, full of articles and "how to look great spending 10$" stuff, and a magazine-piece-of-art (see Vogue Italia).

one of the reasons I can't wait for Summer to end: in Winter you can hide in all those big, soft wool sweaters.

Sojourner Morrell posed for Daniel Jackson in the editorial "The Beat Goes On". She has very androgynous, boyish looks and her hairstyle reminds me of Freja's, but I bet we'll see her a lot in the next fashion weeks.

"Wear over your shoulders like a cape - it will look like the man in your life has lovingly draped his coat over you". The mannish coat trend still rocks and I couldn't be happier.

About a month ago I was lucky enough to win a giveaway over at Here Comes The Sun, and finally a few days ago I found a nice parcel in my PO box - it was my dress from Kings of Carnaby and I couldn't be happier.

The Paige dress I was able to choose is made from a light, smooth cloth in a faint lilac shade. As you can see, it's very girly so it's completely my style :)

Every preppy and feminine girl would love to wear something from Kings of Carnaby, so why not head over their shop and take a look? You won't be disappointed.

I take this chance to thank Amanda and KoC once again, I feel so lucky! :)

Once again here I am, writing about the extraordinary grace of the Givenchy Haute Couture collection. I am absolutely mesmerized. It touches me to think there still are talented people who can create pieces like these. Just look at the embroidery and think how many hours of hard work and pain it has taken to do this. (ok, the pieces are a bit too similar to the Spring ones, but who cares? they are beautiful)

Atonement

2011-06-18T14:42:00.010+02:00

I think Atonement is one of the saddest movies ever. Sadder than Titanic. Come to think of it, it's maybe even sadder than Romeo and Juliet.. everytime I watch it I cry my eyes out. It's beautifully made, too, and the actors are just great.

but moving on the fashion side of it - I want to kiss the costume designer, whoever he/she is. If I could, I'd dress like Cecilia Tallis every day of my life.

.. this is just The Dress.

some days ago I won a little giveaway on Previously Owned, one of my daily reads; today I got the package (nothing could make me happier) and I decided to thank both the blog and the sponsor featuring them here.

a lovely, little shop is really so. the items Chelsea creates are made from tiny, sparkly beads; the feeling you get is they are either made from a gypsy, either from super little squirrels.

the necklace -which I had the possibility to choose- came in a cute packaging, with a little note for me in it. nothing is better than handmade, personalized and heartfelt creations.

so again, I thank Fi from Previously Owned (check it out, it's an amazing blog) and Chelsea from A lovely, little shop.. you gained a reader and a customer :)

▲ 16 : Somewhere by Sofia Coppola

2011-04-15T21:29:00.005+02:00

.. ok so I wanted to do a post with some photos from the movie Somewhere by Sofia Coppola who is one of my favourite film makers, but this is basically all about Elle Fanning. It's not my fault if she was the most beautiful thing in the movie (apart from the photography, like in all Sofia's movies, obviously) !

H&M Conscious Collection

2011-04-13T21:37:00.002+02:00

On April 14th H&M is launching Conscious, a capsule collection made from green materials such as organic cotton, Tencel and recycled polyester. Shades of white, frills and laces are combined together to create some simple but romantic pieces. They look perfect for summer, don't they? The prices are quite low too - between 10 and 50 euros. I hope they're not completely cheap like everything from H&M, because I feel like buying the whole collection!

Nica Handbags

2011-04-02T15:50:00.005+02:00

Last week I turned 17; I chose to celebrate buying the lovely handbag you see in the pictures from Nica.uk. I had already spotted Nica creations in Topshop while I was in London, and I regret not buying something there. Although it's made of fake leather, it's not made from a cheap material at all. It's refined in all its details, and it's quite handy too. I'm gonna use it till the end of times, it's just perfect!

Alexa Chung for Superga

2011-03-30T18:31:00.003+02:00

as you might know, I am a huge Alexa Chung fan. you might not know though that I am also a Superga fan, so this collaboration has made me happy since the day I knew it was going to happen!

I find Alexa the right person to represent the Superga girl, as her style is kinda casual and laid off but very feminine.

this video simply sums up my love for the two of them.. isn't it beautiful?

Mark Fast Fall 11

in his Fall 11 collection Mark Fast is mixing the softness of wool and the hardness of black leather in the most perfect of ways.

The Curve of Forgotten Things

2011-02-18T15:19:00.000+01:00

I usually dislike the Mulleavy sisters' work, but I must admit this video is great. They couldn't make a better decision choosing Elle Fanning - even though she is so young, she's perfect for the role. She looks like a strange mix between an angel, a ghost and a star.

Also, I think Rodarte's show was the only one in this NYFW to leave a positive impression on me so far.

Wasn't the makeup from last season's show great as well?

except for Erin Fetherston's show, isn't this NYFW being a bit boring? even Alexander Wang failed.

Albino Pre-Fall 11

2011-01-24T20:59:00.007+01:00

I truly love these looks, I do. I think the colours look great combined together, I love rust brown, that pale beige and purple, and lime green. But if there's one thing I hate in fashion is that Fall collections are out even before that January is over. I just can't see coats and scarves and turtlenecks when all I think about is Spring!

Calvin Klein Pre-Spring 10

this collection is quite old, but I felt like sharing it with you anyway since it's so perfect. I could perfectly see myself laying on the grass in a sunny April day wearing one of those dresses. They really feel like Spring.
