//Initially I didn't quite see how this collection could be worn in everyday life, but I with the help of this campaign the latest Chanel collection looks less dreary and stale and a whole lot more fun and youthful
(thanks Freja). 

//On another note, Freja is unbelievably versatile: couture, edgy, commercial, young, mature, tough, pretty she can pull it all off. Amazing.

//63/ Prada Postcards




//These are the sunglasses I want. They are from the Prada Postcards collection. They come in different colours, each of which is named after a holiday destination (how cool?): Milan (green), Paris (clear), London (orange), Manhattan (clear and pink), Los Angeles (pink), Lisbon (black)...my preferred colour. I find them simply perfect: thick rim, classical, dark...


//You can buy them here for $225 (that is about €175 or around R1500...though in South Africa you will probably end up paying a lot more than that). I think having them shipped maybe isn't such a bad idea...shipping fees really aren't that outrageously steep.

//Otherwise, I hope that you like my illustration. I think you ought to cut me some slack seeing as it is my first. What do you think? (I added an image of the sunglasses below so that you know what they really look like).

//62/ Portrait Kurkova

//Who said Karolina Kurkova has horse teeth and a bird nose? Hmm?? Well I have always thought she was simply stunning and I hereby rest my case...

//61/ Streetstyle 006




//Hmmm I took this in a hurry and to be totally honest I can't exactly remember what I liked about this outfit. The top maybe? Or the bag? Or the glasses? Nothing seems exceptional. But she seemed friendly, so maybe it was her charisma...
