[ up or down ]

This year, summer arrived late & I try to enjoy it as much as possible.

Still, I can't help it, I found myself checking out the new winter collections.....

I love these boots & its versatility. The cuff can be zipped up or folded down 

so you can see the sherling lining. This gives you plenty of styling options!

BURBERRY - sherling-lined leather boots

[ wish list ]

These 4 items are on my must-have wish list....

especially loving the idea of a solid perfume (DIPTYQUE).

1. DIPTYQUE - eau duelle solid perfume

2. ISABEL MARANT - clarke cuff

3. BURBERRY - ardglass studded ankle boots

4. KENZO - reptile-jacquard sweatshirt

[ all things BRITISH ]

BURBERRY goes mysterious but romantic for their Fall 12 campaign. Obviously the Burberry trench takes the center of attention in these beautiful black & white images shot by MARIO TESTINO. 
Models: actress Gabriella Wilde and musician Roo Panes

[ I see CRYSTAL CLEAR ]

Lately the transparent trend seems to grow, slowly but can't go unnoticed anymore... remember the 3.1 PHILIPP LIM oversized vinyl clutch, the ERDEM perspex heel pumps or the DRIES VAN NOTEN Perspex heel booties?
Even Karl Lagerfeld seems to be hooked on clear accessories ...at the CHANEL Cruise presentation in Versailles, he styled his models with plastic cross-body bags and matching cuff bracelets, while on the Chanel Fall runway the models were wearing see-trough cylinder heel pumps.

[ best of PERFORATED ]

Today I got completely hooked on perforated leather.... so here what I found & love:

1. TOPSHOP - perforated suede biker jacket

2. GILES & BROTHER - perforated oxidized silver-plated necklace

3. KELLY BERGIN - perforated leather shorts

4. ALAIA- perforated leather waist belt

5. KELLY WEARSTLER - perforated mineral cuff

6. JIL SANDER - perforated Market bag

7. ALEXANDER WANG - perforated dress

8. BURBERRY - perforated leather bowling bag

9. STELLA MC CARTNEY - satin-lined perforated box clutch

10. ALEXANDER WANG - Shelly perforated leather ankle boots

11. LD TUTTLE - the Chrome perforated suede loafers

12. LA PERLA - lace-trimmed perforated leather corset dress

[ rain shower at BURBERRY ]

Beautiful "silver confetti rain" umbrella parade at the end of the BURBERRY Fall 2012 show...... a nice metaphor for a house like BURBERRY with outerwear/trench coats expertise.

[ owls, ducks & doggies ]

Christopher Bailey named his latest BURBERRY show "Town and Field".

"Field" was represented by country animals like sparrows, owls, and doggies naïvely embroidered on shirts, printed or appliquéd on oversize striped tees and were gorgeous details on the handbags & clutches. Very cute!
