[ chunky cool ]

Once in a while I go through my "archive" of "DIY" inspirational pictures..... a rather big collection meanwhile!
One of the things I really want to try for this summer is this kind of knitwear sweater from ISABEL MARANT. Love this super-chunky-multi-color-multi-yarn top a lot!
And since I'm in the mood for "make things happen" I know what my next project will be ;)

[ RICK OWEN's universe ]

"History has provided us with touchstones and symbols that we get to mix and rearrange to create new compositions in fashion. 

These arrangements can at times hit similar chords that art can..." - RICK OWENS

 RICK OWENS is so deep. I love the design of the NYC store...Severe, dark and a-symmetrical silhouettes peering out the window... you enter the store & you are completely taken by those minimal tracks out of the speaker system . The softness of the fabrics are heavenly, the cuts perfection & so unique.

I especially love the constructions of his jackets & the jersey basics. Unbeatable. 

Always had a big crush on this leather jacket (pictures above)... in my eyes one of the most desirable items for every wardrobe.

Read the full interview of Rick Owens here...at ANOTHER MAGAZINE. Very inspiring.

[ a THEORY of it's own ]

Okay, this is really rare.... looking at the Pre-Fall 12 collection of THEYSKEN'S THEORY I wanted to wear each & EVERY single look! ...head to toe!
A super cool & dark collection yet soft & romantic, a perfect mix.

I could have posted ALL the pictures because I really love them all, but that would have been a little bit too much ;)

... to all the people thinking of me yesterday. I had a fantastic day!

[ under my skin ]

I think tattoos are sooo fascinating, I love them on other people... and for ages I consider having one myself. But I guess I'm too "chicken" to actually "do it" or maybe it's just because I haven't fallen in love with any particular sign.... 

But since I love typos/letters/lyrics a lot, something like that could suit me... the pictures above is this kind of tattoo that inspires me! 
Very poetic & beautiful.

[ VALENTINO - SS12 ]

oH wOW.... only VALENTINO can do such things... these dresses are incredible beautiful! The colors, fabrics & embroideries so romantic and yet so dramatic.

Since my post "say yes" (click here) I'm convinced that if I ever get married it has to be in a Valentino gown!!
