Favorites - Red, Valentino

I think it's impossible to dislike the Red  Valentino collections. If you like fairytales at least. This season the fairytale was Snow White and the model who played the lead role was Marine Deleeuw, a personal favorite of mine. I loved the kind of punk feeling some of those outfits had but still remained in character. The purses and shoes are also adorable.

Dolce & Gabbana - Part 1

I LOVED the fairytale theme Dolce & Gabbana had going on, the hoods, the patterns and just the whole feel about this collection is amazing. I was blown away by it. I especially loved the huge red furcoat and I am contemplating wether or not to sell my soul for it..... 

I had so many favorite looks I had to split this post into two bits, so check back tomorrow for the next one! 

Enjoy my favorite looks from Dolce & Gabbana F/W14!

Fave looks from Christopher Kane F/W14

I'm sorry I'm a little bit behind on the F/W collections, I know I say this every time, but I have soo much homework I can barely stop for a second to breathe.. But I'm staying up late because I just can't stay away from those clothes any longer. I'm going to try to do a fave looks post every day for a week now and than an all time favorites one at the end of the week.. Let's see if I can make it!
I've never really understood what Christopher Kane was about until today. I knew his name but I didn't give him much attention. Obvious mistake! His new line is GORGEOUS, even though I thought the second half of the show was much better but that's just my opinion. I look forward to seeing what he does in the future. I'm proud to call myself a brand new Christopher Kane fan!
Below are my favorite looks from the collection.

Flashback Friday - Dirty Dancing appreciation

What's your favorite eighties movie? Mine is Dirty dancing for sure, although The Breakfast Club is a close second.. Nowadays almost every movie I watch is over twenty years old. I've also given up on music that is younger than twenty-five years old (Arctic monkeys, Beyonce and Vampire Weekend the only exceptions).
What fascinates me the most about eighties movies is not the heartwarming love stories, wicked dance moves or hot guys. No, it's the fashion. I've got this obsession with eighties-nineties fashion and I've had it for a while now. Sometimes I even get carried away while dressing myself and show up at school looking like a character from Clueless...
But today we're talking about Dirty Dancing. You've all seen it, Johnny Castle falls deeply in love with Frances aka Baby even though they don't get along at first. If you're not familiar with it yet you know what I'm talking about when I say "Nobody puts baby in a corner". Yep, that's the one. This movie is so incredibly fabulous and there's just something so special about it. Okay I thinks this is enough, I've just spent an hour and a half looking at pictures of Patrick Swayze... *blushes*
If you haven't seen this movie I suggest you look it up on Netflix right now, no excuses.
Below are my favorite outfits from the film.

Look at those arms though, damn Swayze why'd you have to get old.

This dress is of course iconic.

L-O-V-E this outfit.

Wish it was acceptable to wear bodysuits like that in public *cries in the distance*

Thriftshop treasures

One of my favorite things to do is going thrift shopping. It fascinates me that the clothes I'm buying have been worn by other people, they have a story. Sometimes I sit and wonder about their previous owners; if they really loved the thing or never even put it on; if they received it as a gift or bought it for a lot of money. This stuff can keep me up at night. 

Last Friday I went thrift shopping and bought three items, an oversized, see through shirt. It's really big and it looks really good when it's not button upped and is just super casual with a pair of skinny jeans. 

The second thing is a yellow dress, really short and there's a happy vibe that surrounds it (if that makes sense...) I love, love, love it and plan on wearing it A LOT this summer.

The last thing is a gorgeous hand knitted sweater. It's green/blueish and semi cropped. It looks super good with a skater skirt or skinny jeans. It's super comfortable and I'm in love with it.

I am very happy with the items I bought even though I had to leave an oversized jumper and a skirt behind. Oh well, our paths were not meant to cross.

Flashback Friday - Valentino

It's so funny how different the couture collections were only ten years ago.  Kind of scary to think about because ten years can pass by so quickly and it's so easy to miss it all. 

Today I was feeling quite nostalgic so I decided to take a peek into my favorite designers past and ten years seemed like the right amount of years. So, I sat in front of the computer, typed www.style.com in the search bar and found the Valentino Spring Couture 2004 collection. Truth be told I do not like this collection at all. It's dull and plain weird if I'm being honest. But I think it's interesting because it was only ten years ago and everything has developed so much. Below are the looks I think you would never, ever see on a runway today.

Punk hugs,
