Sophie Theallet

Her dress worn by Anais Mali, was one of my favourite outfits of monday's CFDA's awards (see all my favourites again here) , so I decided to dedicate her a post. I love her minimalist designs, her clothes are simple yet chic.
The french born designer started her own label in the spring in 2006 in New York, after ten years working for Azzedine Alaia. Her signature bohemian luxe is coveted by many fashionistas. She gets sold in the best speciality stores all over the world including Browns (London), Colette (Paris) and Barneys (NYC).
Here are some outfits I'm loving for A/W10 and S/S11.
Have a stylish day.

Sidewalk Catwalk Broadway pic #2


By Jason Wu
As this is a new feature and I bet you can't wait to see more pictures, I'm bringing you another one. Don't say I'm not nice to you ;) Love this design by Jason Wu, who got recognition all over the world, after the first lady of the United States Michelle Obama wore his gown for the inaugural ball. She's a big fan of him and by looking at his work, you can see why.

I love watching red carpet outfits. And at the annual CFDA Awards you can expect nothing less than perfection. It was hard to pick just a few of my favourite looks. Everyone looked great! Hope you'll like my choices. Which is your favourite? Check some of the outfits from last event here.

Sidewalk catwalk Broadway


In July I visited New York City and was very fortunate in a way, that there were lots of special fashion exhibitions and shows I could visit. Although I am sure there is always plenty to see and do anyway. One of the special projects was Sidewalk Catwalk - a series of mannequins put on Broadway between Herald Square and Times Square. The event was on between July 24th until September 3rd. Many famous names created a special outfit, to stand the test of time and weather conditions. Designers including: Diane Von Furstenberg, Prabal Gurung, Tommy Hilfiger, Michel Kors and Jason Wu to name just a few. In the end all the mannequins were auctioned and all the proceeds went to charity. In the following couple of weeks I'll be bringing you pictures of most of the display. It was very inspiring and I'm grateful to have seen it live.
Have a stylish day.

New favourite mascara?


I am a big fan of MAC make-up. There's a reason why most make-up artists swear by it and it gets used backstage at probably every fashion show. All the products have great texture, last well and the selection of shades is incomparable.
I was given a sample of Clinique's High Definition mascara. First of all because all Clinique's products are hypoallergenic and fragrance free, which is good for my sensitive eyes and second of all simply because my mascara was running out. I got hooked straight away. It lasts well and doesn't irritate my eyes. It makes my lashes look fuller and do I dare say it, my eyes irresistible. It costs decent £14.50 and is available on high street. They say your eyes are the windows to your soul, so why not make them your best feature. With this mascara it's an easy task!
Have a stylish day.

Tribute to the master

I am planning another trip to New York, this time for spring, and was excited to hear about the upcoming exhibition in the MET museum. The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art will honor the memory and vision of the extraordinary talent  Alexander McQueen through a retrospective exhibit opening May 4th 2011. If you read my blog regulary, you probably know that I'm a big fan of his work, and was shocked and deeply saddend by his unexpected suicide earlier this year. I can't wait to see this 100-piece exhibit, that is promising the show the best of his career, starting at Givenchy, his own  label, and pieces from a show that were revealed after his death (read more about it here). Of course you can expect a review from me after I've seen it. For now I'm bringing you a few pics of famous pieces created by the creative genius.
Have a stylish day.
