In case you didn't know who she's until now, I'm sure you've already seen her on jak&jil or another street style blog. The lady with the ginger hair is the style and accessory director of the US Marie Claire. She mixes new trends with her own notes and emerges in this way quite interesting and unique looks. Sometimes I like them more and sometimes less but I think that's what makes her in the end so interesting...

Alexander Wang body, Jeffrey Campbell wedges, Topshop clutch, H&M skir, Elizabeth&James jacket


I think the title says everything. Nothing to add.

Spring's denim overdose

Could you imagine a season without denim? I think it's impossible. Sometimes there's more and sometimes less denim, but it is (and will be probably) always there in some way though. Coming to this port's topic SS 2010 seems to be one of the seasons with an overrun of denim. After jeans chemises and jackets paired primarly with black, the designers envision a real overdose of the blue fabric: Jeans jumpers, dresses, jackets, shorts, chemises, pants, accesory.... - and all that as possible together in one outfit.

I'm not very keen on this combination since I wouldn't call myself the biggest denim fan. Apart from some exceptions I don't like this all-over look and still prefer my jeans with white and black.

A minus for Olivia

Actually I'm totally into Olivia Palermo's style since she is always looking elegant but yet cool and stylish. When I saw this pic of her at NY fashion week I was a little disappointed though. This plaid shirt destroyed the entire look which would have been absolutely stunning and Olivia-like with a simple white/black shirt.

Caroline's giveaway

Swedish stylist, blogger and fashionista Caroline Blomst offers you the chance to win a great outfit that includes essentiel pieces that you definately need in your closet. You can chose your favorite look from 14 combinations.

Above you can see my favorite look: H&M open-toe Heels, a studded leather jacket from Topshop, striped dress and skirt with leather details from Lindex.

I chose this look because it represents absolutely my style and weardrobe. It's a cool and casual look but yet fierce, that's why it I'd wear it for going-out as well as for school (with flat shoes). Especially the Topshop jacket made me fell in love with this look because I've been desperately seeking a similar one without succes. Besides the striped shirt is a pretty basic you're always in need of and the skirt seems ver unique with its leather look details. And the shoes...they wouldn't only look good, they would also have a meaningful employment by helping me to improve my 'walking-on-high-heels'-skills.

Another leather item

I abandoned hope! Winter just won't leave Germany and I'm really startingt to get in some kind of 'snow-depression'. I just hate it and can't stand it anymore. Definately time to think of something else, so how about a little fashion prediction for spring - in case that it will arive eventually - ?

After leather jackets, skirts and pants our closets will be afflicted now by leather shorts. They were already shown at many FW '09 and repeatedly on the SS '10 runways and lookbooks.

I like them a lot but I didn't get one yet. Maybe it's because I always feel some kind of nasty if I wear leather items? Well I'm gonna stick to trying them and maybe I can even wear them with tights if the winter decides to be a little more indulgent....

Clogs = The Footwear of Spring/Summer 2010?

photo credits: style.com / tfs / fashiontoast / justjared

Here we go again guys...After an eternity without having internet - well it seemed so, guess it's because I'm a junkie - here I am back again, curing a cold life from my cozy bed.

Since Chanel's and Louis Vuitton's RTW shows the footwear trend par exellence for the up-coming season is settled: Say hello to (high heeled) clogs ladies. The word 'clogs' made me think at first about the feet of Dutchwoman with blonde braids and checked skirts. Karl Lagerfeld's interpretation made me change my mind quickly. I could totally see myself wearing a dark version like Alexa did lately at Chanel's Haute Couture show. And besides the fact that they're super handy we've to admit that their sound on asphalt is enormouly charming and nostalgic...

After ages I was strolling in the forums of tfs when I found this amazing pic of Alexa Chung that I never saw before. From the outfit to her face expression everything about this took my breath away so I just couldn't keep it back from. Might be one of the best shots somebody ever made of her.

Enjoy the week-end!

Here she goes again...

The last year we didn't hear and see much of Nicole but finally she seems to be back (in style). I think she looked always great lately and the dark hair suits her so well. Sigh, I really missed her...

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY DEAR READERS

MAY ALL YOUR WISHES COME TRUE!

SEE YOU IN 2010

WHYRED

I think "I die" describes best how much I'm into Whyred's spring collection. Everything from head to toe is just adorable. My favorite outfit is the one with the overknees.

Oh and no, I'm not dead, just buried by an avalanche of work....

Natalie Off Duty

Today I wanna introduce you to Natalie Suarez' blog Natalie off duty which I discovered quite recently. Besides her loveliness I was fascinated by her easy but amazing style so I talked to the young lady:

1.How old are you and where are you from?
I'm 18 years old and from Los Angeles, California.

2.What's your occupation?
Model

3.Which three words describe you best?
Friendly, smart, creative

4.When did you star blogging and why did you start?
I started blogging about 2 months ago. My sister introduced me to amazing fashion blogs and I found so much inspiration. I found images I could relate to. Street Style inspires me more than any magazine editorial could.I started "Natalie Off Duty" in hopes of inspiring others as well. Having my blog is such a fun way to connect with all the people from around the world who are as interested in fashion as I am.

5.How would you describe your personal style?
I would say my personal style is unique. I have a ton of vintage pieces that are of such great quality and so different from what stores are selling now.I mix them in with designer pieces and inexpensive pieces from Zara or H&M. I like tough looking clothing, like a pair of vintage combat boots that I'll throw into a girly outfit. I just hate looking like everyone else, so wearing vintage and staying away from trends, sets my look apart from the rest.

6.What's your favorite item of the moment?
I'm in love with Alexander Wang's ankled buckle booties.

5.How much money do you spent per month for new clothes/shoes/bags?
It really depends. Some months I'll spend a few hundred dollars on clothes, while some months, I don't buy anything. Right now, I'm only buying pieces that are different from anything I already own,which isn't very much, considering I have so many clothes!

6.Where do you like to shop?
I love shopping vintage and second-hand because I always end up finding inexpensive pieces of really good quality! I'll hit up a Goodwill or Salvation Army once in a while. But I do love luxury pieces that I can get at Barneys. Big department stores like Barneys, Neimans, and Saks always draw me in, especially when they have great sales!

7.How many pairs of shoes do you own?
Hm, I don't really know. Probably like 25 really great shoes.

8.One of the current trends you would never go with/hate...
I don't think I will ever wear Harem pants. The shape just isn't very flattering haha! But some people can rock them!

9.If you could buy one item no matter how much it costs what would it be?
I would probably buy a new Bally leather jacket. Their leather is so soft and light. I have one already that is a bit old, but is still amazing! I wouldn't mind having another one, because I'd wear it all the time.

10.Who's your personal fashion icon?
I love Jane Birkin. She had fantastic personal style when she was young, and stays stylish as she ages beautifully. She makes everything look effortless and cool. I think her daughters, Lou and Charlotte, definitely got their great sense of style from her as well!

11.Heels or flats?
Heels even though I am already so tall. I love walking in them!

12.Fashion is....
Fashion is fun to play around with especially when there are so many beautiful clothes out there!

13.Tell us one of your vices.
I bite my nails. I wear nail polish whenever I'm not working to grow them out and stop biting haha!

Here comes Leigh Lezark

I wanted to post some pics of Leigh so long now because besides a few exceptions I'm totally into her style and her music.

P.S. Did you hear about the Olsen's new line? Can't wait to see it.
