I am completely obsessed with this editorial and this model, Masha Voronina. What a babe! All the accessories featured are so appropriately, expertly styled with the outfits and the make-up is so very warm weatherish. I have my eye on those gold Céline sandals!

YSL & Ladurée

This post is for the person who left me a comment wanting to see my new hair :) I thought I'd add a selfie (before haircut) of my 'smokey-eye' which the make-up artist at YSL gave me on my birthday although it is a poor snapshot.

Here's one more from London! Designer Antonio Berardi's structured paneling, body-con dresses are ALWAYS a dream come true.

The birthday was good. It involved macarons, anything involving Ladurée is a good occasion :) Cutting off a few inches of my hair was also a refreshing idea. Are pictures needed?

Today is my birthday! Above: what I will be doing to my face (not the nail-polish tho) right after I get off this computer to run some errands before hitting the YSL make-up counter at three in the arvo to get a different look for tonight! I will also be squeezing in a hair-cut before a b'day dinner with friends. Today is definitely a day of primping :)

p.s. How adorable is Anna Dello Russo's IG, Cucciolina, in this picture!

Oh my sweet goodness. Christopher Kane Fall 2013 is simply a dream. It's all in the hemlines..collarbones, sleeves, ankles...details you really need to check out in zoom (click on source). As usual, my favourite outfit I always display first = that shirt + baggy pants combo. It's all undone beautiful, really. 


I just had to throw in a sexy Mark Fast Fall 2013 dress for good measure.

The Charlie May gal is so clean and so smart. I'm fancying the tailored pants and the red lippie pulling the whole look together. Red lippie just does that, you know? I can't believe London Fashion Week is over already and I'm like on my first post. Oh boy...
