Halloween is coming

How the time flies.. We're already half way through October, meaning Halloween is just round the corner. There will be lots of parties around and with it a perfect opportunity to dress up and get creative. In case you're stuck for ideas I'm bringing you a little inspiration from one of Carine Roitfield's parties - The Vampire Ball. Vampires are tres cool at the moment, what with Twilight and many TV series, so now is your chance to show your take on the "trend". Perfect time to be playful with your make up ala Roitfield ladies ( both Carine and Julia otherwise kept it quite simple and chic) stand out with interesting headwear like Anna dello Russo with Giles' SS 12 swan and don't forget little details. Olivier Theyskens went for colored contact lenses, whilst Abbey Lee Kershaw picked fake teeth to finish off her outfit. I'm also loving Ciara in Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci, whose fake blood is cool enough.
Looking at these got me well excited for Hallowen and I'm already planning my outfit. Are you? Are you going to any parties?
Have a stylish day.

Exit in Vogue

Yesterday the world of fashion was shocked by the news that Carine Roitfield was to leave her position at Vogue Paris! People started speculating why, what is she going to do next and most importantly who is gonna replace her. Whoever will get the top job, has a hard job to fill her high-heeled shoes. The queen of French chic has done a great job and I wish her best of luck in her next adventure.
I wonder if that's why Tom Ford co-edited one issue. To try before she leaves and to show other people how to do it. And I wonder if the rumours are true, that they may be doing something together next. Can't wait to see!
Here I'm looking at some of her great outfits. She fits well in my style icons month.
Have a stylish day.
