Street Style: Fall Must Haves / Cold Question and When Festive Goes Wrong


I'm not an expert of the cold questions because I'm living in the sunshine, but I lived in Chamonix too...!
Anyways I've tried to find those pieces what I actually have I don't like profets and I don't know something, until i've tried!
First of all, both Burberry and Moncler are excellent quality and iconic (but Burberry is Burberry!)
But I would NEVER wear Moncler on the street except when I'm living in Chamonix Mount Blanc or doing ski whenever!
Notice: I'm talking about street style!
On the streets I would wear maximum Moncler Gamme Rouge, but ski feeling Moncler! NO!
That's not a good taste, let me tell! 
So if you planning to get a really warm coat: Burberry, and try the longer dawn feather model with belt!


 I swear that nobody pays me agains Moncler, in fact and I will post mine! BUT I never wore them on the streets except when I lived in the ski paradise , in Chamonix or after when I tried skiing, I wanted to be posh... If you are that type like me who always freezes than the "duvet" Maison Martin Margiela! SO chic so MM, just look at them, they speaks against the Moncler one what I call"sport wear"
(i don't know if I have to repeat myself that i'm preaching about "iconic" pieces, but for me one of them was always SO overrated, I always had Moncler so for me ain no deal and as I spent short times in cold, genetically hating everything what is BIG!
Plus these are totally unnecessary garments as we don;t have that cold weather!
Duvet coats from '09: still LOVE! 
 Let's make this quick as I 've posted already about this:
1, NO excuse for Moon Boots on the streets! (let's not mocking the 8yrs olds and who goes to the lifts at Aspen!)
2: there s nothing what makes me believe that only that types of (ugliness?) ... boots are warm enough! I have these Michael Kors , and more chic Tommy Hilfiger: WARM enough! Let's face with the obvious : MK aren't really feminine model too...! But don't dare to mention with those "things" in one sentence! Parade wear!
3: I've told my opinion about Uggs... I don't like them after 10years! I have, yes, call me again(!!!) a hypocrite because I'm saying that they are out and I have... actually they are 2 yrs old! So YES, they are quality and for city runs: let's do it, all what I'm saying is that Australian Luxe is dope, Uggs Australia s boring!

LORD HAVE MERCY!

... I don't , when I'm totally have the festive sense (finally)  and got a Ho! Ho! Ho! pulls and all the social sites full with festive terror! Like ugly sweater. That's all good, let's not bitching, that SO not me: I have from Gma, she thinks that the dopest thing ever, I won't hurt her so keep smiling and try to survive that day, but why people posting the ugly is cool? no, they are NOT! And they were never!
BUT
What makes me actually nervous, let's say that stepping on my nerves : those utterly fcktarded texts on sweaters/pulls like
 "Who the Fcck is Chanel" "YSL with cocktails..."
Maybe I have one from 2009, and back then I found them fancy. Perfect home wear if you have nothing to do and the only thing what's waiting for you is the guy with your smoothie!
Totally ridiculous!

I have that mania for the printed tees I have to say, like fancy Dsquared/Black Star/Balmain/Pierre Balman/Rag&Bone/ Eleven Paris etc brand and addicted to two bands, they are my favorite since...like forever, they are meaningful for me! Portrait of Ian Curtis, or the classic Joy Division tee s with the album logo!
BUT no limit of feeding the mindless, epic idiots with
 "I need heels" "Love shopping" t-shirts and pulls!
NO! No and once again, NO!
The other thing: cross...get over with if you are not dope trendsetter enough to wear them "correctly" I;ve seen 4 people who wore pulls with crucifix and I'm telling you they were that "class heroes", literally cool but in 98% girls looks hilarious in these pulls!
Gossip Girl logos, "quotes" are the worst ever!
Talking about festive, there are a lot of seasonal , cute pulls but why should I wear a reindeer family on me?!
HELL NO!
What I picked/liked so I bought in this season : only one festive pulls but I think that's awesome!

Also suggesting: leopard prins (Dolce&Gabbana) Owl (Burberry) LOVE (Sonia by Sonia Rykiel)
Never mix the innovator prints like Eleven Paris' classic Kate, Karl etc with moustache (btw, isn't that Josh Beech's tats?) and the downloaded main stream Anna, AdR caricatures etc...on no name , bad printed , bad quality tees and pulls!
NO!
I've tried my best in the winter inspirations , anyway thanks for the messages even when YZ texted without a single "hey ya" that "anything about the winter look?"
Here we are! X on the last day of 2012!

"Victor Victoria" Andrej Pejic for Elle Serbia January 2013


For me this story with Andrej and Andrej is never boring! When I'm saying that I'm over on the androgynous topic (I mean Saskia always.. but have to say her latest work work for SLP is amazing!) 
Jean Paul Gaultier's muse Andrej Pejic is the cover star and the main character in the main editorial. Double starring playing his androgynous aptness, of course in Jean Paul Gaultier and in La Perla
Which side of Andrej do you prefer? 


Kendra Spears for Escada spring 2013



color storm, summer of 2013 is all about pastel 60s inspired retro flash collection or bright , bold colors.
sexy , dynamic , powerful women image

Frida Gustavsson & Tobias Sorensen for Siviglia Spring Summer 2013

Pastel , retro 60s inspiration just like the previously posted Max Mara Spring '13 campaign

Street Style: Pre Christmas / Les Miserable


Les Miserables...well waited so long!
I just love tees, and adore printed tees!
We don't have a "white Christmas" so I'm not freezing at all :o)
If you are following my sets , you know that I'm bored of skinny jeans but a denim fan.
This one is a bootcut dark blue pair of jeans from J Brand but you can find amazing models / 7for All Mankind
Printed tees? Definitely first what coming to my mind: Sonia by Sonia Rykiel !
They are so positive prints, love them, and "Oh la la" is a house language so this was an amazing pre gift!
See by Chloe pointy nose bootie and bracelets (even if they are big, I'm wearing them , ha)
I picked an elegant black blazer from my wardrobe , something simple for this printed tee, I was between my comfort zone limit again but I think don't really have to taking this "out from the comfort zone" thing because me personally always trying something new, but I don't really want to be a sight when I'm going with my friend to see the Les Mis, besides I truly believe that I'm never boring, let's say that I insist with some brands and shapes but not afraid to trying new things but always something from "my signature" style!
Like this Red Valentino bag. Always bows, on tees, blazers, bags!
Let's profess that I'm prejudiced in the black blazer question: Burberry, Maje, GFF !

Here is what I'm wearing today, pre Xmas, city look, friends and cinema time!

Joan Smalls for Vogue Brazil January 2013 In Roberto Cavalli


Alana Zimmer for Givenchy "Hotel Prive" Beauty SS 2013 Campaign

Givenchy ad campaign means MariaCarla for me! Interesting choice on Alana Zimmer! I adore her look, gorgeous etc but for me she is everything but "Givenchy Girl"


Julia Nobis for Saint Laurent Paris Spring Summer 2013


Photographed by Saint Laurent's creative dir: Hedi Slimane



Oversized hats, boyish garments paring with glam , but somehow utterly feminine , classy and mysterious black and white images! I loved them! 
That's what I call artistic nipple snip ! Hard to even noticing! 
sophisticated chic but adventurous tomboys, that's how I could describe the "new-old" Saint Laurent 


Natasha Poly in Jimmy Choo 'Flash' Fragrance Campaign

Took several second to recognize Natasha, and let's admit Natasha is one of unique faces...
But I love the idea but sadly I can post only in this quality!



Kate Moss, Daria Werbowy, Joan Smalls, Veit Couturier Versace Spring Summer 2013


Photographer: Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott



signature Versace looks, never enough from ps and oil!
Hard to recognize Joan Smalls! But we get the SENSE! Kate poses like Goddess! Totally gorgeous but when I have something like this on my face , I'm freaking out! I mean really, first sight I thought the Vampire Diaries promo photos, they got the oil wild! They are actually " sparking" 
male models: Veit Couturier, Edward Wilding, and Kacey Carrig
Can't wait the other photos.
