Lusting for Celine & Mary (Katrantzou)

I love colours and of course I love Mary Katrantzou. So it’s only natural that her dresses are on my top “wanna” list. Unfortunately, TopShop was sold out faster than a Bieber Concert in the US and prices are climbing skywards on ebay…  The other item, and I’d say it’s about at the same height of the list (meaning top 2), is this Celine Trapeze Bag. I hesitated between the one I bought and this one but finally went for the classic Phantom in cobalt blue. I love its versatility since you can wear it in different ways, making it look like a classic luggage tote or more bohemian-chic with the straps flipping and flapping around.

Sucker for Italianità

Spring is coming and for some unexplicable reason, I am attracted to all things Italian. I am going to ZH this weekend and would love to have brunch at the Piazza. Doesn’t that little spot looks just right out of a 1960’s Italian Movie? Am totally in love with the vintage font, makes me think of Mr. Rossi for some reason…

 

 

 

The advance of the African Continent

Africa’s influence and importance can be felt more and more, especially in fashion. While Marc by Marc Jacobs SS 2010 Collection already lead the way (yes, and YSL well before that), this years fashion shows have almost all picked up something tribal. With the Marni for H&M Collection, African “Pagne” have also received the seal of high street approval. It’s funny to think that when I was wearing my bf’s large shorts made of a beautiful and colourful pagne ivoirien two years ago, people were staring at me while just a week ago they were storming H&M to snap up one of Marni’s african inspired designs.
