Hui Hui is an independent fashion brand from Hamburg.
I’m loving their “DADA” collection for the upcoming Fall-Winter!

Love those sweaters with flower patterned areas! They have a mantón de manila mood :)


And how cool are these knitted mittens and hat? Oh I want them badly!

Petra Storrs is a brilliant art director making amazing outfits out of paper like this one -among other things-


...and here’s a bracelet by Saloukee (a laser-cut paper jewelry brand).


Oh! and here’s 'The Ermine Portrait' of Elizabeth I (1585) by Nicholas Hilliard.
I’m a tudor ruff lover. I’d wear them everyday if they were more comfortable. ;)

-sigh-
...I’d love to be wearing today one of these two outfits from Tsumori Chisato’s Spring-Summer’09 collection.

I just can't have enough of Neil Krug's photographs. They are just my type.
Perfect colour palettes, dreamy textures... and goddess Joni Harbeck posing in some of them!

Today is the first day of my Blackberry Detox Program -scary!!- :/
Decided it's time to disconnect from 24/7 e-mails and so.
Now I feel a little bit more bohemian ;)

These pictures are from Olyva's Spring-Summer'09 collection photographed by Las Coleccionistas.
Summertime a la barcelonesa!

Here some fashion images I've scanned from a book I'm reading...
I won't be posting daily for a while as I have no internet connection at home thanks to France Telecom and their awful customer service.
Hope next week everything is fixed and back on track. Meanwhile I'm uploading this post from the washing machine at my kitchen, the only place where I can reach a little bit of some neighbour's wi-fi.
Have a great weekend ;)


America welcoming Twiggy for the first time!

Zazou jazzy style

Aqui van unos scans de un libro de la historia de la moda que estoy leyendo...
No postearé estos días muy seguido ya que el grupo France Telecom nos ha dejado sin acceso a internet mientras cambiamos de Orange a Ya.com. Sin comentarios...
Espero la semana que viene todo vuelva a la normalidad y poder postear a diario de nuevo.
De momento estoy subiendo esto gracias a un poco de wi-fi prestado al que se tiene acceso encima de la lavadora de mi cocina gracias a algún vecino generoso con un nodo abierto.
Feliz fin de semana ;)

Beautiful springtime clothes by Jackson, Johnston & Roe.





Bonita ropa primaveral de la marca Jackson, Johnston & Roe.

I think my boyfriend is going to love this ties by Coto.
I do love them.

Creo que a mi chico le van a encantar estas corbatas de Coto.
A mí me encantan desde luego...

I've scanned some images from the book "World Textiles: A Visual Guide to Traditional Techniques" by John Gillow and Bryan Sentance.
So antique and so contemporary at the same time!













He escaneado algunas imágenes del libro "Tejidos del Mundo: Guía visual de las técnicas tradicionales" escrito por John Gillow y Bryan Sentance.
Tan antiguos y tan actuales al mismo tiempo...

I've fallen in love with several dresses thinking about the summer...


at Fredflare


at Urban Outfitters (boutique)




at American Apparel


at Net-a-porter

Starstyling is a super contemporary fashion design shop in Berlin.
Love the clothes, love the "jungle touch" on the interior design, the colours...





When I went to the shop it made me remember of my first time in the city. I went to visit a friend and we ended with some friends in a backyard buying rock-star inspired bracelets from a couple while a DJ was spinning electronic records, people were relaxing and enjoying the afternoon while drinking fresh beer. Was it 2004? Or 2005?
I still have that bracelet, it's been my "key-wristlet" for years, it's by Starstyling.

Hyères is one of my favourite festivals. I love fashion and I adore photography, so when these two are together I'm as happy as I can be :)
Below I've selected some images that you are going to be able to enjoy at Hyères 2009.

These days I'm thinking a lot about an amazing art-decó jewelry exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Paris) I want to attend badly.

Image above: Brigitte Helm wearing jewelry designed by Raymond Templier.

Below I selected some of the pieces at the show. Gorgeous!

Last week received an email from Greta and Isla, two finnish designers who have designed wallets from cassette tapes.
They want me to ask you how much would you pay for these beautiful recycled wallets...

Someone said 20€? Make your bids and tell them.


It's a pity that last week I already bought a new owl wallet for me at H&M...

I’m so happy that it’s officially springtime now!
I would wear some spring-summer Gaspard Yurkievich clothes to celebrate!
Below my selection for boys and girls...

I adore Robert and Sonia Delaunay’s work, but lately I’m specially into Sonia’s fashion creations...









This embroidered coat she designed for Gloria Swanson is fab!

Picture yourself on a peaceful and magnificent Mexican beach landscape...
It’s summer, someone offers you a sweet and fresh Margarita de Tamarindo.
You feel great, oh yeah.
But what are you wearing?
Pepper and Pistol SS’09 perhaps?
Maybe...
;)

I’m a self-confessed Band of Outsiders fan.
Love the clothes, love the mood, love the naming...


See some SS09 outfits below:

I’m a sleep mask freak, I confess, always looking for the perfect one...
Maybe is the one this Breakfast at Tiffany’s replica at Fredflare?
