Lanvin's Fall Ad Campaign


Lanvin's collections are always elegant and beautiful. I love Alber Elbaz's draping techniques. They're modern  and sophisticated, yet evoke a sense of comfort and ease of movement.  Lanvin can easily be worn out on the town, in the boardroom or by "ladies who lunch".

A Look at Designer Label Jexika

Jexika is a hot, up-and-coming "under the radar" UK designer label. Some celebrities have already worn the designer's elegant pieces with a nod to old-world style.  I expect this label's popularity will keep growing.

This is Not Your Average Wedge

This caught my eye. It stood out in my inbox. It's from the FINSK A/W11 collection.

FINSK launched in 2004 ... Founded by Julia Lundsten who has made a name for herself as a gifted shoe designer. London based, Finnish born, Lundsten is a designer with a strong vision and unique,directional style.

Julia graduated from London’s Royal College of Art in 2003 and has received a string of awards for her designs, including the prestigious Manolo Blahnik Award two years running and the 2010 Elle Style Awards where she won Accessories Designer of the Year in Finland.

Below are two other styles from this collection.

Temptations I Can't Seem to Forget

They're marked as favorites, in shopping carts or both ... That is if I haven't already succumbed to the temptation. These are my latest obsessions.

This DVF top combines my fav design elements; polish, comfort and edge.





This jewelry designer creates amazing handmade filigree pieces. I've bought two of the three pieces shown (Can you guess which?) ... A total of eight from her - Jody McGill of 1ofmykind Jewels.













The next three are from Etsy, where I coincidentally found Jody (She has more, like the two rings above, on her site.).

This silk paper origami light shade can easily double as a work of art when the light is off. GreenWallNL ships from the Netherlands. His prices and shipping rates are very reasonable.






These pillows are well-made and very intricate. They come in various colors and fabrics. MillDesignsCo also accepts custom orders.






This necklace is a one-off ... only one is available. The feather can be removed and worn as an earring. You can order this exclusive piece from indiaylaluna ... If I don't snatch it before you decide to take action.

A Bag with a Different Look, Yoox & Vogue.it Collaborates

This bag caught my eye. Funky top handles with plenty of pockets ... A weakness of mine. An unusual color just adds to the mix. The zip expansion side panels on this 3.1 Phillip Lim bag are definitely different.





Yoox & Vogue.it have put together a special collection of sophisticated statement pieces. They're very tempting.

Anastasia: Beautiful Pieces, Great Inspiration

I've been a fan of Anastasia for a few years now and periodically like to feature their items. The designers are a mix of household names and exotic not-so-household names. The styles often appeal to my love of creativity and inspires me.
