Olivia Palermo


I'm bringing you yet another picture of Olivia Palermo from the Hills. I adore her style! Here is another great example of using accessories to finish off an outfit. Love her ankle Louboutins and YSL handbag and the dress is just so cute! Top marks Olivia, keep it up!
Have a stylish day.

Tom Ford - lipstick range

Is there anything this man can't do? After a great success with his directorial debut with the film SINGLE MAN, he's returning to treating us ladies. This time it's with a collection of lipsticks called Private Blend Lipstick. It contains 12 richly pigmented shades and I can't wait to check them out. They will be available from April 23, from all Tom Ford Private Blend counters. Now I just hope he returns to designing womenswear. Good luck with everything my hero! Unfortunately I haven't got a picture of the lipsticks yet, so I'm bringing you one of his perfume boxes for Private Blend.
Have a stylish day.

Selfridges - my favourite place to shop and more

It was my birthday last week and I decided to treat myself with a bit of a shopping spree. What a better place to cure my thirst for nice things than my No1 Selfridges! I did quite well, although didn't buy anything major. The things I want to mention, are from my favourite MAC beauty counter. It's very hard for me to stop by and leave empty-handed. This time I stocked up on my new can't-live-without-it mascara ZOOM LASH in black, blusher in STYLE and a new shadow of the oh-so-popular LIPGLASS in FUCHSIA. MAC products are at very competetive prices, have great staying power and are the best tricks of proffesional make-up artists. And the selection is unbelievable.
I also want to show you, especially to my non-London readers, some of current Selfridges shop windows. I love them. They get changed quite often and always look great. Very inspiring.
Have a stylish day.


Christian Louboutin

"Shoes are better than a facelift," says Christian Louboutin's customer. And she's quite right. Cause there is (painless) happy feeling, when you purchase a new 100th pair of shoes, that you definitely need, step into the ridiculously high-heeled wonder and feel absolutely fabulous, that no plastic surgery will give you.
I read an article today in my free weekly dose of fashion in Stylist magazine, where they interviewed the master himself (you can read it at stylist.co.uk). I am a well known shoe addict and would love to owe at least one pair by the great designer. Well, one day... Everyone wants some of his famous red-soled beauties. Shoes are a great way to liven up your old LBD or transform any old outfit. Heels make your legs look great and walk sexy. What more to ask for? What can I say. You can never have too many pairs and I bet Christian and his customers would agree.
Have a stylish day.

statement necklace


By now you may know I'm a big accessories fan. At the moment I'm really into statement necklaces. I've shown you quite a few designer ones, but now I'm bringing you a great one I found on the high street. It's from Oasis and for £35 it's a bargain worth every penny. Statement necklaces are an easy way how to update your outfit, looking great with plain tees and a pair of jeggins. Add flats during the day and heels in the evening and you're sorted.
Have a stylish day.

Museum of Bags and Purses - Amsterdam

After a two-week break, which I spent on holiday in my home tome in the Czech Republic, I am back with more tips and views on fashion, art, lifestyle and so on.. And if you, like me when you come back from abroad, can't wait to go on another adventure as soon as possible, then you might like little suggestion. I'm planning a short trip to Amsterdam for a bit of culture and history, and you can imagine my excitement, when I discovered, that this great city has a museum dedicated to handbags and purses. I checked the website: www.tassenmuseum.nl and it looks great! Now I just have to count down the days till my weekend break away. The museum has a great selection of handbags in date order going back to 1500!
And what's more, at the moment until 19 August 2010 they are holding exhibition Crystal loves leather, where leading designers and upcoming avante-garde designers have taken inspiration from CRYSTALLIZED Swarowski Elements and from two new applications of the crystals on leather. "The result is a true romance," the website says. I can't wait to see it! And of course report to you.
Have a stylish day.
Here are few examples of what you can see:

Chanel AW'10

Next autumn/winter we should definitely keep warm. Come what may, the designers are taking no chances and all the catwalks were full of cosy sweaters, beautiful jackets (I can't forget to mention the Chanel leather one) and very practical yet stylish coats. At Chanel you could see lots of fur, even on boots, so you can keep your feet warm as well. There was also a lot of traditional black and white, and I especially loved all the white dresses. But the best bits was the jewellery. Stunning rings, cuffs, statement necklaces are all to die for. I want them all!
Have a stylish day.
