Just in: New Balance

Past fashion weeks all around the globe, on streetsyle blogs,...you could already see it: a new trend for S/S 2013 are the running shoes. 
You can wear them in different ways:

I couldn't resist those ones of New Balance, they are just in, I really like the colour combination. 

Make a statement

We know statement necklaces already for a while but now we saw them again on the runway:

Oscar de la Renta, Gucci, Badgley Mischka

Statement Necklaces aren’t a new trend, they have been around some time, now they make their comeback. With their bold style and bright colours, they aren’t called statement necklaces without a reason.





They add a pop of color to your outfit, I really like the heavy colours and the neon ones.  I think they are just perfect for spring/summer.



DIY: Valantine's flower pin

Valentine's day is almost there so I was searching for a special present for my boyfriend.

Did you already see the men's lapel flowers that add something special to men jackets?

At last summer edition of Pitti Uomo (fashion fair @ Florence) you spotted them a lot:

I decided to make it myself as a little extra gift on Valentine's day.

You need:

* a strip of fabric (I prefer flowers not to big)

* needle and thread

* scissors

* 2 buttons (one for the front inside the flower and one for the back)

Cut a strip of fabric, fold over one end and secure it with a stitch.

Flip it over and start a running stitch along the bottom of the strip of fabric.

When you've reached the end of your strip, pull the thread so the fabric bunches up.

Shape the fabric into a flower, secure all the layers by stitching through each and secure it on the back.

Cut the flower in the shape like you want it to be.

Next, stitch the button in the center.  After the button is secure, stitch on your button at the back to attach the flower on a jacket (you can also use a safety pin for the back.

 

Selfmade Valentine's flower pin as extra present.

Candy??? No, it is the Chubby stick for eyes !

Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint Pencils for Eyes will be launching this Spring 2013 (February).

From the creators of Chubby Stick, Clinique introduces the newest member of the family, Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes. 

These creamy shadow sticks are so cute !! They are portable and convenient while providing sheer, buildable, long-wearing colour.

The shadow’s unique formula and packaging is easy to use and applies evenly across lids as a silky cream that stays put without dusting or creasing. Soothing Vitamin E infuses the tint with a smooth finish that stays put, leaving lids with a sheer wash of long-lasting colour. They will be available in 12 shades.

Create a customized look by mixing, matching and layering shades to add texture and dimension.
