A New Face

Hello Elisa Sednaoui! - i.e. The face of the new Roberto Cavalli fragrance.


The Italian model and actress has already appeared representing Georgio Armani, and Chanel (chosen by Karl Lagerfeld), and now it's time for her to conquer Cavalli.

Cavalli: "Elisa has an amazing personality. She has got this animal side to her," the designer said. "She is enthusiastic and really sexy with a stunning body and hypnotic eyes. She is the woman every woman would like to be, so she is the real Cavalli woman".


Not a bad choice by the looks of things...

This girl is incredible!

Gloved-Up

Autumn's really hit - it's time for gloves! Gloves graced the catwalk in almost every possible way throughout the A/ W collections.

Some basic rules: - Elbow length is huse this fall: Pull up to your elbow or scrunch down at the wrist. Saying that I can't give up my wristed gloves.
                           - Any colour goes! Metallics, camel, red, blah blah blah
                           - Make a statement

It is not from ourselves that you learn to be better than you are:

A Fetish for Grunge

You know when you just need a change? -That's me. Grunge doesn't seem to be huge this autumn but there is a ridiculous amount of rock embellished items. Using these rock pieces and a few booted additions I have decided to mix up my wardrobe even more.

If I then decide I hate this look, I can save my clothes for a career as a rockabilly tribute band member... Win win situation really.

First thing that comes to mind: Mary-Kate Olsen. A ridiculous style icon of mine... You know that kind of look; Bit grungey, bit rocky, bit bohemian.

I think i'll go back to the early nineties and try out the whole Kurt Cobain scene again.

Here's to living in the past.

There is No Reason Not to Follow Your Heart

"When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." - Steve Jobs
