Weekend sign off

Last week was a mix of work and fashion for me and I really enjoyed it. I have watched Part 3 of Pardon my French, a short film A Woman Dress created by Giada Colagrande for Miu Miu, pre-fall 2012 Bottega Veneta collection, as well as two wonderful documentaries that I will definitely blog about in March.

An invite to a private sale came in out of the blue – an incredibly exciting offer I couldn’t refuse and will be telling more about as soon as I attend it.

Of course, I couldn’t ignore the news about Raf Simmons leaving Jil Sander after today’s show and his position will be filled by Jil Sander herself. There are rumours that Simmons may be heading to Dior or even YSL, but nothing has been confirmed yet. He’s been wonderful at Jil Sander, so I am sure he will do a wonderful job wherever it might be.

I also discovered that our Royals, Prince William and Kate now have a cocker spaniel puppy. I am so glad they chose a cocker – they are the most wonderful dogs in the world (and one is sleeping on my lap as we speak as it’s his post breakfast nap time).

And of course, I have been enjoying the fashion week and, apart from constantly checking the calendar on vogue website and photos on style.com, got a chance to watch McQ, Gucci, Prada, Moschino and Versace streams.

That’s all the news and updates for now.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Always yours,

Weekend sign off

What’s your perfect weekend like? Breakfast in bed or an early morning run? Stroll in a park with you man or shopping with the girls? A party or a cozy evening at home with the above mentioned man, DVD, blankets, candles and treats of all sorts?

I didn’t make any weekend plans what.so.ever. None. Frankly, I found it hard to believe that the week’s gone by (yet again) and it’s time to turn the alarm clock off and wake up as nature (or Oscar) intended. And then we’ll see…

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Always yours,

Outfit du jour: Miu Miu and chocolate flowers

Saturday was pretty uneventful. We had to stay at home and look after little Oscar who had a bit of trouble with his paw and couldn’t go outside for a proper doggy walk. Once the pupster was content, we headed off to the garden and played with the camera a little bit. 

This is one of my casual summer outfits that I really like. The Armand Basi silk blouse is very versatile and works nicely with jeans as a floaty top or can be tuck into pencil skirts for smart outfits. Diesel jeans are my favourite – I fell in love with Diesel a few years ago because they work well with curves and are super comfortable. The Miu Miu shoes were a lucky find back in 2008. I think the heel is absolutely gorgeous and the carved flowers remind me of the chocolate Cosmos. These flowers smell of chocolate! How amazing is that? They also have the most beautiful dark velvet petals that I can stare at forever.
