London fashion week (spring/summer 2012) is on, after NY Fashion Week and I cannot help but notice the differences between the two. I believe London FW has been so much better, design wise. It has offered much better design and in general a better Fashion Week. This only raises the expectations for Paris and Milan. Here are some images from what I consider to be the best of the week so far.

We all like to be right, isn't that true? Well, if you want to be right this season you will probably get something with a dotted pattern as it is one of the strongest trends of the season. For me it is all about dotted+sheer fabrics as we can see in Stella McCartney's collection or about a dotted pattern with strong, contrasting colors like we can see more in Marc Jacobs. I have been searching for something like this in the last weeks but have not been successful in it, any suggestions are appreciated! =) I bet some store will have something similar as more of the fall and winter collections arrive.

Are you looking for a future collector piece? Look no further, Givenchy's printed scarves for fall/winter season 2011 are not only a must for the season but also considered to be future collector pieces. The prints are based in the panther print for the ready to wear collection. The collection itself has prints from panthers, bears and other animals but also a special combination in between plants, purple flowers and golden items. Not traditional combinations but they have been a hit. In my opinion, if you can make anything with those prints look sexy you rule! I would SO wear these pieces, specially the first look from left to right with the see-through skirt, it is so sexy but nerdy at the same time. Love it! Anyone agrees?

Jil Sander left a very hig bar with his spring/summer 2011 collection. It was THE collection of the season and nobody could wait to see what was coming after that. The autumn collection had nothing to envy from the summer one, total hit! Its' shapes are being reproduced by all the budget fashion brands now and there is no better proof for success. As I wrote in a previous post, caricucature/bubble shapes rule the season! Isn't this red top/jacket perfect? I cannot think of a piece I desire more this season. Ejoy!

It is time to receive a complete new season and for that we need the trends that will keep us, as we love, one step ahead. An interesting trend for this season is the one I call "caricature shapes" because it just seems like shirts and dresses which are drawn ove the body, they are so still and spacey (those two usually never come together when one refers to fabrics), an effect acquired by the use of neoprene-like fabrics. Here are some options from H&M and Zara to wear this trend. I haven't tried on any of these but will do, how about you, like the trend or not your thing?

To complete the Stockholm Fashion Week report, here comes Rodebjer, Nhu Dhuong and Whyred.  great week if you ask, stockholm fashion week continues getting better with time I believe. me but I wonder what you liked and disliked?

Fashion Weeks world tour has begun and it did it in Scandinavia. This week it was Stockholm who held the spring/summer 2012 shows. This is one of the two posts in which I will sum up the events of the week for you all. Here goes:

My bridal fever gives me even more reasons to appreciate and love the couture collections. These are some highlights from the latest fall couture collection. The mood is definitely dreamy. The light fabrics, the flow and of course the details. These dresses can make anyone feel like an angel. What do you say?

Where I live we are still only dreaming about warm degrees so as I dream I decided to inspire mysled and all of you with outfits from some resort 2011 collections. I feel like wearing all of them, one each day of the week next week haha. Enjoy! It's almost weekend yey!

Just wanted to give you a tip on these gorgeous shoes. They come from Steve Madden and they are available for pre-order at the moment. They are a dream!

It was a non-upload weekend I know, but well, here I am, back with the update on my projects. I have finished the handbag, take a look, do you like it? A tough touch on it, I think it came out quite good.

Hey! So I told you about my sewing projects. I finished my vest today and here it is. I know it's out there but well, I like to turn some looks! What do you think? Think it is the first time I ever use a sewing machine, I think it went quite well. Now I am also "blinging" my purse. Turned out to be a little harder than I thought and had to request the help of my hammer, but it's going good. What do you think? I will fill the entire bottom part of it. I will show you when it's done.

Beauty post today! I felt like wearing blue eye shadow today, festive... it's friday! Meeting a friend for drinks and then out for dinner with my boy. Outfit shots will hopefully come tomorrow. Have a great weekend.

I went to Zara today to shop the striped skirt in the pic. but turned out they didn't have size S, and I visited two stores, boohoo...! While I looked around I found this beautiful pink skirt and it all became  a mind game where I was lost in the decision of either buying a bigger size for the striped one (which I would have to sew to fix and it didn't feel completely right on) or buying the pink one, so I decided to take the pink one. I plan to use it with tees to tone it down a bit. Was it a good decision?

Continuing with the color posts, today we have "floral" as a theme. Great for spring and summer, floral is never wrong, as long as it is COLORFUL (sis, you know what I mean by these capitals). Here are some images to inspire you.

The color combination of the day is yellow/orange. These are two of my absolute favorite colors for the season. They are so playful and not everyone can wear a full-yellow-or-orange outfit, they are definitely not the easiest colors to wear. That is one of the reasons why I like them, because one has to be a little more creative to come out with something good. What about you? Do you like wearing these colors?

This is it, this is what I got yesterday. Found this amazing Jil Sander look-alike at Zara. How perfect is the color. I cannot wait to use it. Like it??
