Glow in the Dark

Guess who I'm seeing live tomorrow night! Oh my god, I am so excited.

I'm lovin' it

Finally hopping on the bandwagon with Bloglovin', this nifty little reader that allows you to view your favourite blogs' newest posts all at the same time while looking nicer than Google Reader.

Glam is my business

Maxine Schiff in Tush Magazine #4.

I love the oversized rings and bangles in this editorial. House of Harlow 1960, Nicole Richie's new jewelry line, does "plate rings" for pretty much a steal, but sadly, I'm not in the USA.

Miss Schiff is one of my favourite newcomers, by the way. Unfortunately, last season wasn't that great for her when it comes to runway shows, but she booked two amazing campaigns - Vivienne Westwood and Sisley (perfection, even with red hair, especially the Underwear ads).

Ich liebe die überdimensionierten Ringe und Armreifen in dieser Fotostrecke. Bei House of Harlow 1960, Nicole Richies neuer Schmucklinie, gibt es solche "Tellerringe" für einen relativ kleinen Preis, aber leider befinde ich mit nicht in den USA.

Miss Schiff ist übrigens eine meine Lieblings-Newcomerinnen. Leider war die letzte Saison nicht so berauschend für sie was Schauen angeht, aber dafür hat sie zwei großartige Kampagnen - Vivienne Westwood und Sisley (Perfektion, sogar mit rotem Haar, besonders in den Wäsche-Anzeigen).

I'm an angel bored like hell and you're a devil meaning well

Absolutely swoon-worthy gladiator heels by Alexander Wang. Oh my..

Absolut anbetungswürdige Gladiatoren-Heels von Alexander Wang. Oh my..

Fight the power, put myself on the throne.

Apparently, I'm in the minority, but the Jean Paul Gaultier F/W 07.08 campaign is one of my favourite campaigns ever. I love Gemma's delicate features and light hair with the jewel shades, I love the feathers, the Maori paint, the masks, the plaid, the plain background - just about everything.

Anscheinend bin ich in der Minderheit, aber die Jean Paul Gaultier Kampagne ist eine meine Lieblingskampagnen überhaupt. Ich liebe den Kontrast von Gemmas feinen Gesichtszügen und hellem Haar mit den Edelsteintönen, ich liebe die Federn, die Maori-Bemalung, die Masken, die Karos, den simplen Hintergrund - einfach so gut wie alles.

Cuffed

I recently got into jewellery making again and came up with the idea of creating metal cuffs myself. I didn't think it was going to work out or look decent when I started with my first one, but I'm actually quite satisfied with the result.

I decided on engraving words of inspiration and apparently, as I realized in the midths of the process, I still had quite a bit more space left than I originally planned, there are some duplicates as well as some rather ... useless words.
For my next cuffs, I used quotes and lines from songs I liked.

If anyone is interested, I'll definitely post a tutorial on how to do these cuffs soon.

LBD

Experimenting with my black lace dress I got yesterday... Yes, it's by H&M yet again. I must seem to you as if that was the only place I ever shopped at. This isn't true at all, though, I swear!
Anyway, I was inspired by a complete Chloé outfit Kate Bosworth wore to the Letterman show some time ago. I wish my leggings (yes, I named it) were as beautifully embellished as hers!

Also, this is a premiere of sorts! It's the first time I didn't use the self-timer to take my photos but had them taken by my dad.

By the way, I'm on Chictopia and Modepass as well. Add me if you'd like to!

Winter coat

I don't know how this happened, but all of the sudden I find myself longing for colder weather and cozy knitwear. Perhaps it's because I'm incredibly bored with dressing for warmer temperatures or because I just want to have an excuse to go shopping again. One piece I already acquired for the approaching cold season is a new coat, Caban style from H&M. That and a pair of black suede gloves as soft as butter. Now all I need are a few new sweaters or cardigans, a thick scarf and hopefully some gorgeous ankle boots.

Squawish

If there was one person I'd like to trade lives with, it would be Vanessa Traina. Always hanging with my favourite celebrities (the Olsens, Nicole Richie, Kiki Dunst etc.) and other illustrous people, going to fancy parties in NYC, pre-ordering from designer collections ... on top of being drop-dead gorgeous, smart and having a killer body. Killer combination. And did you know the Traina sisters supposedly had Hermès Birkins for school bags?

Here's Vanessa wearing F/W 08.09 Balmain boots à la Minnetonka I've been drooling over. She really puts Ms. Richie to shame here.

Model of the Month: Anna Selezneva

Having scored a whopping four campaigns for F/W 08.09 (that's more than fellow Russian Vlada Roslyakova got!), I reckoned it was about time I featured Anna Selezneva on here. Besides the very obvious, that is - a perfectly proportioned face, chiseled cheekbones, poise and grace in editorials and a fierce strut.

She's placed with Silent in Paris, but still on the market in both NYC and Milan. I could easily picture her getting signed to a big agency (hey, Women!), though, and sweeping up at the S/S 09 shows come next month.
