KARL

If you still haven't watched the giggle-worthy video shot for the Net-a-Porter exclusive Karl line, where La Lagerfeld is being interviewed by - I would say his alter ego but somehow I doubt there's a boundary between the two - go check it out here.

GOLD AND OTHER TREASURES



Les remèdes contre un janvier froid (mais pas tant) sont de s'entourer de doré, de se noyer dans des aromes de pomme grenade et chai, de se perdre en duel entre les saveurs du monde et ses papilles gustatives...

To me, this outfit is of superlative finish. So easy and devastatingly sexy. I could dress in variations of this everyday of the year.

HAVE YOU REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT?

Most of you have by now heard about the SOPA/PIPA battle, with internet giants such as Wiki and Google voicing their opposition. Despite the enormity of these events, I have not seen it mentioned once yet in the fashion blogosphere. We as bloggers and blog readers would be the among the most impaired victims of this move if such a bill is warranted. This video is a must, please watch it and share it. It is our responsibility to commit to the advancement of society.

ITALIAN SUMMER




photos: dolcegabbana
I love these ads of Dolce&Gabbana's spring summer 2012 campaign! I really wouldn't mind an italian getaway right about now.. The Tuscan sun, the Mediterranean waves, the pizzas the pastas the caffè...and a cruise ship slightly too close to coast. Ok, maybe not the best joke. The latest news is that the death toll has now reached 11 and the search for the 22 missing is still in progress. Not to mention the half a million gallons of fuel at risk of spilling out if they are not able to extract it in time due to the rapidly dwindling sea conditions. My heart goes out for the people affected and I sincerely hope that no damage will be caused to the beautiful marine.

ALIVE

I want to start by saying a big fat sowwwyyyy for being such a bad blogger. I started my first semester in PR mgmt with 2 courses and the workload is already copious. But I absolutely love it and I'm more than happy to throw myself into the readings and assignments. As I was munching through the chapters, I began to think about my blog, and the direction I wanted to sail it towards... Although I love fashion blogs and have my own daily must reads, most of their authors wear a common thread of success in the fashion industry, which makes it in my opinion less relatable for a big majority of its readers. I decided to offer a variant perspective: by chronicling my professional pursuit to my front row seat by knotting and testing the different ropes I'll come to learn about in the course of my degree. Perhaps you will find inspiration in my subjective journey on our shared ambitions. Hopefully looking as chic as the ladies from TL180 while running from my 8:30-5 job to my 6-9 classes.

ON THE HUNT

For a sharp blazer. I'm thinking of going for a timeless and practical black for as it is my first time investment purchase for one. I'm really enjoying this rolled sleeve beauty from Helmut Lang. Casually tailored and the rolled sleeve detail give it an effortless feel. Qu'en pensez-vous?
