//My heart skipped a beat when I saw the photographs from Chanel Spring 2011 (yes, luckily, unlike editorials, fashion shows run ahead of the season, so here some spring inspiration from the northern hemisphere). The entire show was inspired by the movie L'Année dernière à Marienbad (Last year in Marienbad) - have a look at stills from the movie, beautiful!!

//To me, Karl Lagerfeld does investment pieces like no other- I can totally see myself still liking these in ten years. I especially love the suits: pure goodness. In other news, take a look at the South African-Namibian beauty Behati Prinsloo! It makes me happy to see someone from our shores doing so well. And then there is Karolina Kurkova who is still one of my favourites..aahh stunning.

//05/ Dress: La Bella Vita




Alyssa Miller for Elle Italia July 2010

//I am becoming progressively more impatient for summer to arrive!! The warmth is here but where is the sun?! Well here are some photographs to remind you what summer should really be about: wet hair, near-naked bodies, sand in the hair (and maybe other places ) and of course more happy faces.

//The model is Alyssa Miller, I don't find her particularly beautiful but she has a fantastic body- that voluptuousness that is perfect for an editorial like this, but maybe not so much (certainly not so much) for a more edgy look,

//03/ Dress: Utah Desert



Daria Werbowy for US Vogue, January 2010
//As much as I would love to post material from the current season, we are as usual a season behind and the Fall/Winter shows at the moment may be amazing but alas not very appropriate for the beautiful summer that awaits us. So here some inspiration from the previous season for some more than just pretty summer dress.
