GRUNGE REVISITED

I seriously can't believe that I was considering to sell this skirt. I mean, it is so badly ripped to the point of decency,but it really works so well with the currently ongoing grunge trend and hm,a longer leather jacket. What I love about this outfit is that the skirts provides the perfect cinched in waist which goes so well with the slightly oversized  more masculine shirt, creating a really cool silhouette.
Off to lunch with my bro, got-ta-go!
Have a great Saturday.

I am wearing BLKDNM leather jacket, Dries Van Noten shirt, ACNE ripped denim skirt and sunnies, Saint Laurent heels and Georg Jensen watch

OH,IT'S ON!

50% off at Colette, yes please! Already bought Stella Mccartney resort 2013 dress that I have been drooling all over for eternity now, but unfortunately I missed the beautiful Dior scarf by a second.
God damn my slow fingers!What will you find?
PSST! There is a pair of Valentino snakeskin pumps on sale ;)

THE PYTHON HAS LANDED, OR WAS IT AN EAGLE??

As a child I was apparently obsessed with snakes.I still am, but in slightly less alive state...
No seriously,  away with the macabre humor. I really am obsessed with anything python, and when the DHL man rang on the door bringing this little beauty I felt my heart skip a beat.
It has the perfect boxy shape, beautiful, I really mean beautiful golden hardware ( and u all know how I feel about those!) and the leather is just (I am jumping from joy and am more or less speechless)!

Can't wait to sport it this weekend!

FIRST LOOK AT GIVENCHY AW13

OK, the Givenchy fall collection wasn't quite one of my favourites as just the gipsy look is slightly too much for me, but I can not deny that the darkly romance of it appealed to an old goth in me.No floral gipsy skirts will ever be seen in my closet but that ghastly Bambi sweater( I mean that in a good way)  and the more aprehansible plaid shirt are more than welcomed. Also the boots, I can already see them paired with my new MiH boyfriend jeans...

THE HS GIRL

I have been anxious to show you the Acne top as a jacket and here it is! It is funny though how as a top- it has this sleek structured look, while when worn as a jacket it has very,and I mean very much Hedi Slimane for SaintLaurent look, doesn't it?I like HL for SL, if you catch my drift, although we can discuss the styling of his latest collection on the wide and broad I can't deny that I thought a lot of pieces were quite strong for themselves and I could easily see them in my closet.But now to much less entangling subject- nobody can deny that his first collection was -from the buyers point of view- fantastic.  And for a girl who knows most of the MM songs  and has more ripped boyfriend jeans than lipsticks, channeling HS girl wasn't that hard for me.
Once again not much into ruffles, but damn I love those sleeves!

I am wearing ACNE top,Rag&Bone jeans, H&M Trend blouse, Isabel Marant heels, byMaleneBirger bag and RayBAn's

THINKING OF-NEXT SEASON

And painting my nails simultaneously  So, although summer is just getting started the harsh reality is that the prefall is already hitting the stores. Which means it's time to buckle up and forget about the sun because while you are stretching your legs on the beach somebody is going to snap your fav pieces. Or at least that is my experience (I can't even begin to tell you how much stress it has caused me to get hold of Celine spring 2013 sandals- in May-  which is still spring, but everyone got sold out somewhere in March...However it seems that it will be sorted out thanks to Selfridges CS).

So, I have begun with sort of a ritual: when these two hit the shelves  I get both, look through collections, write down thoughts and comments and circle my favourite pieces (this part of the process can involve stretching on the beach). Then I read editors notes, and try to incorporate all this in, well my own style.So, what I like about this method is that it gives you some time to digest the collections and impressions, so that you don't end up buying the cool eyectaching pieces which end up in the closet catching only dust (once again, from experience)...And woop! some light reading and you are prepared for whatever comes up during the season, python boots, stripes, plaid, without actually stressing about it.

SPEAKING ABOUT THE SHIRTS

Speaking about the shirts I am also looking for the denim one as well, it should be slightly stiff and sharp but tham again not to western- thing going on. I'll say it again, when it comes to shirts it's all about the attitude.
