H&M August 2010 collection sneak-peaks

H&M is seriously trying to ruin me with these collection previews!

I mean THAT beige trench inspired cape is to die for! And of course, not without the croco bag!

The cape is gorgeous!

Love, love, love.

Another piece is this lovely and sweet a la Gossip Girl one piece.

How beautiful?!

Or why not this plum colored blouse with cute details.

Love this amazing color, not ideal for my non-tanned body, but I still want it! *laughs*

H&M, I think that I am the reason for the company's serious growth these years, hahaha...

MARIE CLAIRE KOREA June 2010

Model Lee Hyun Yi in Marie Clarie Korea June issue. Like the bold font says, CLEAN and CLEAR.

I totally adore this styling. Especially the outfit above, so simple but yet so fierce. This is the way to dress up a simple tee.

I want to go to work in this outfit *laughs*

Love the mixture of materials, silky top and leather shorts.

Everything feels right, except the shoes that looks like slippers...

Seems like the over-knees are here to stay this season as well!

(yay)

Which means that my boots from ASOS can still be used.

Love, love, love!

The only "wrong" in this picture, are the studded and armoured Burberry bags. I am so tired of studs on everything. Keep it simple or enlighten me with something new.

Or else, you are doing quite good B!

MULBERRY CREATIONS

"Alexa"

"Tamara"

Both of these lovely creations are from Mulberry. I've written about the Alexa-bag earlier.

I love the Alexa-bag which feels like an upgraded Bayswater, love that it's both a tote and shoulder bag in one. Nive details and comes in two sizes (and of course several colors).

The Tamara-bag has the signum Mulberry tree all around it, it's a huge shopper/tote, suitable for work or casual wear. Love the cute print and leather details.

Mulberry is rising on my favorite bag creator list (among Chloè, Miu Miu, Chanel etc)

Hmm...although a Burberry bag woudln't be so bad either *laughs*

I am still pondering over how I can bring all my bags, clutches, totes AND shoes with me to Japan...huge problem really. Anyone with a good and safe solution?

MCGREGOR and VODIANOVA in VOGUE US July 2010

AMOR VINCIT OMNIA

I decided to share a couple of more pics from the wedding I attended to last Saturday. The red napkins during were printed with their names and date on it, so cute!

The beautiful couple!

 

My friend S decided to paparazzi me (and of course, I did the same!)

The theme went in red and white, rose petals were all over the place. It was very lovely.

Love was all around us that day :*:・(￣∀￣)・:*:

My white LV Vernis clutch felt like a really good choice for the theme *laughs*

FLAWLESS SKIN

Following the Dior news about Natalie Portman, I decided to write about skincare and make-up.



For those who think I never get any pimples on my face, I do!



But the funny thing is that they are usually so small and they vanish after one or two nights... I guess that I have to thank good genes for great skin *laughs*


But there are very simple ways for keeping skin pure and clean.



My secret is that I seldom drink cold water (it's true!), I usually go for a cup of warm/hot water or tea. I've heard that it cleanses your body from the inside much more effective, and since I've been doing since I was a kid, it must work somehow.



Other important factors to consider is to always remove make-up before going to bed. Even if you have pure minerale make-up, you shouldn't sleep with it every single night. Give the time for the skin to rest during sleeptime. Also during the morning, I find it quite refreshing sometimes to damp a small towel with cold/hot water and clean the face with it. Without any soap or chemicals. Just pure water. Since you just got out of the bed, I don't think that you need some kind of special facial cleanser (but of course, there are exceptions if you actually do have a skin problem).



For skin products, I don't want to believe that the most expensive on the market is supposed the be the best. I read the labels and always behind the bottles. What exactly does our skincare products contain? Do our skin really need all those chemicals in it? My answer: NO. Just some year ago, I decided to abandon my long time favorite skincare line, Shiseido Pure and Skincare, for their sisterbrand d Program. It contains less chemicals and I have really grown to like it! Believe me, I am picky when it comes to beauty products.



I think that it's good to always think twice before you buy something. Especially with all these chemical names that we don't exactly know what it is. Many famous companies are trying to fool customers with beautiful labels and false promises. But the best way for your skin (since everybodys skin is different) is to try and see what product/brand is the match for you. Luckily, I found my favorite at last.




Don't think that it's only your skincare products you need to think about. Make-up products are as equally important. After several years of using different brands and really trying to find the best foundation, mascara, blush, cover etc. I finally found some favorites. It's a huge market, so don't be surprised if you do find a product that actually is better than the present one you own. Just some months ago I switched from Anna Sui to Guerlain to Lily Lolo. Lily Lolo is a UK-based minerale make-up brand. There foundation really does make wonder and makes you skin look natural and flawless! It's simple to apply and super friendly for your skin, because it actually let's your skin breath. Their cover, blushes and other products are also great. I luv their blushes with names such as Cherry Blossom and Candy Girl. Or why not Oh La La?




I guess that with this long input about skincare, I just wanted to share some of my tips and tricks, as well as favorite products. And of course, I want all of my readers to be aware of all the chemicals resting in our products today. It's never too late to change, the question is when you gather to courage to actually do it.

PORTMAN and DIOR

AnOther magazine cover anno 2009

I just got the news that beautiful Natalie Portman (one of my favorite actors) has signed with Dior and will soon feature in their campaigns. I almost feel a bit excited myself because I have never seen her in some cosmetic commercial.

Will she now get me hooked on Dior products? *laughs*

FLOWER POWER

First I want to thank my cousin Lisa for arranging my hair, she did a nice sidebraid, curled and gave some volume to my hair. Thank you! (thank you for taking these pics as well!)

I chose my flower printed silk dress from Zara. It was hard dancing and walking it in yesterday, but so worth it! *laughs*

I just wished that there were more opportunities to wear this one.

The wedding was amazing (more pics coming soon). The couple looked so happy and compatible.

My best wishes for you, Ines and Dino!

 

"I do"

Sarah Jessica Parker and Chris Noth (Vogue June 2008)

Tomorrow I'm going to attend a friend's wedding, it's actually my first time (in my friend circle) and I must say that I'm very excited!

DO IT YOURSELF

I decided to cut my semi-newly bought black shorts from Gina Tricot.

Small scallop circles with some raw edges because I used fire (lazy me don't want to sew the whole thing...hahaha)

Now I want to make a pair of denim with huge scallop shapes!

JUST LIKE SWEETS

Chanel is offering cute colors for summer. Love that girly pink is making a comeback!

Chanel's nailink is always inspiring.

Just like visiting a candystore *laughs*

MY OWN CHLOE SHORTS

One of my favorite fashion bloggers inspired me a couple of days ago to make a pair of Chloe shorts.

Genious!

http://emsedge.freshnet.se/

My problem is though that I have to find a pair that I actually want to cut in...

Maybe like these cute denim Chloe-inspired shorts?
