atelier versace



A stunning lookbook by Versace Atelier for Spring/Summer 2009 featuring Georgina Stojiljkovic. Were you quick enough to spot the same dresses worn by Emma Roberts, Jessica Biel and Claudia Schiffer at the recent MET Gala? 

let's ride


Karl Lagerfeld has taken yet another noteworthy project, this time with designer helmet makers Atelier Ruby. Lovely in tweed, the helmet features an iPod pocket at the side and is set to be released as part of the Fall 2009 collection. Perfect match for the Chanel Segway!

Parisian graphic designers Antoine Audiau and Manuel Warosz presented Tout Va Bien, a cabinet decorated with relief patterns derived from "arts and crafts, hieroglyphic language, contemporary graphics, fantasy, and optimism" for furniture brand BD Barcelona Design in Milan last week. Lovely!

empire of the sun


Philip Lim is expanding his empire further with pretty swimwear, shoes and lingerie! His lingerie line is set to launch in his stores on May 20, swimwear line just in time for summer, and shoes in fall. Will we see those snazzy wavy zippers on bathing suits? I'm excited! 

if you're feeling cold

Marc Jacobs chain detail boucle jacket, Les Chiffoniers sequin-sprayed jacket, Matthew Williamson cotton cropped jacket. Perfect with distressed jeans. Black and gold, just like Sam Sparro. 

bed of roses


I've got flowers in my hair today. A rare sight. But really I just felt like lying on a bed of roses, minus the thorns of course! Thought of this beautiful shot of Russian chameleon Sasha Pivovarova for Numero Sept 2007 by one of my favorite photographers, Camilla Akrans.

hotel missoni



Opening this June in central Edinburgh (and later this year in Kuwait), Missoni takes on its array of multicolored stripes and zigzags into its latest foray, Hotel Missoni. Featuring 136 rooms and suites fully equipped with Missoni bathrobes, slippers and scented toiletries that makes lovely keepsakes, the interior is decorated by Rosita Missoni herself. Don't know where to go this summer? Why not book a room online (from £180/night for a standard room up to £700/night for a suite) and march to the castles?

burnt orange

In love with this Balenciaga A/W 2009 suede Neo-Classic bag! If the color's exactly like this, then I say it's super hot (you know how lighting can distort true colors) but I wouldn't mind it in electric blue either. Striking tones, baby, striking tones. 

muted sparkles

Love it all from the peeptoe boots to muted sparkle everything right down to the embellished fingerless gloves. Malo Spring/Summer 2009 collection was Alessandro Dell'Acqua's first and only season for the Italian fashion house as its parent company files for bankruptcy in February.

of pleats and spiders

Lusting over these Charlotte Olympia (braindchild of Charlotte Olympia Dellal a.k.a Alice Dellal's sister) pleated platform heels. I'll have some Reeses and gold spiders with it, please. 

frayed + distressed


Currently obsessed over ripped jeans. Just bought two pairs in black and grey but Natasha Poly proves I need one in white. Enough said.

backstage


Mad fun backstage, don't you wish you were there? 

mcqueen's faithful


He's done it again! Alexander McQueen has released the 'Faithful' collection consisting of a tote bag and this awesome glove clutch (I wonder if the gloves are detachable!). Inspired by the film "Girl On A Motorcycle", the collection is said to evolve from a deconstructed biker jacket. Available this month in McQueen stores and selected retail outlets worldwide. 

forbidden love




Diana Dondoe and Cartwright Lee heats it up under the art direction of Julia Restoin-Roitfeld for Rock & Republic Spring/Summer '09 ad campaign. The collection, dubbed "Forbidden Love", gives sexy and edgy monotones into short dresses, leather jackets, and leggings among others. Photographed by Maciek Kobielski.

Sending a little love to all mothers... Without one, none of us would be here in this world.  "Happy Mother's Day!"

lock & chain

Loving these chain necklaces from Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter '09 collection. Available in assorted colors, Rihanna was spotted wearing one at the 3rd Annual DKMS Gala. Guaranteed to make a statement!

a stark beauty


Daisy Lowe  is set to be the new face of Spanish high street retailer MANGO. This rock 'n' roll beauty (who is also the current face of Marc by Marc Jacobs) will join Leigh Lezark, Riley Keough, Clara Lago and Marie-Ange Casta for an ad campaign that is currently being shot in Barcelona. From replacing Kate Moss at age 15 (for Agent Provocateur), posing nude for i-D's cover to dating Mark Ronson (who is 13 years her senior), this girl is a badass with a unique brand of rock chic that is hard not to love.
