A friend of mine took some pictures at my workshop and made these for me.
I'm still trying to decide which one I like best...what do you think?

Spring time !

I love roses, and lately I seem to be seeing them everywhere!
And nothing more inspiring and fitting for spring and its sunny days than wearing the beautiful jewelry with roses from Prada’s Resort S/S 2012 and Dior’s Bois de Roses collections!









Necklace and earrings: Prada.

Love is in the air

Valentine's Day is coming soon...


















One of the coolest and more stylish couples in this universe and beyond, Garance Doré and Scott Schuman from The Sartorialist, have shot some great pictures for Tiffany's beautiful campaign for Valentine's day:

"True Love in pictures"

What I loved most about this campaign is that you can upload your own moments of True Love on Instagram using the #truelovepictures hashtag with the Tiffany filter…!!!

Watch here the video of this great couple shooting for Tiffany and Co. to see how cute they are together and what a cute song too!

More is not enough!

Iris Apfel (born Astoria, Queens, New York, 29 August 1921) is an American businesswoman, former interior designer, and fashion icon.She studied art history at New York University and attended art school at the University of Wisconsin. As a young woman Barrel worked for Women's Wear Daily and for interior designer Elinor Johnson. She also was an assistant to illustrator Robert Goodman.

In 1948 she married Carl Apfel. Two years later they launched the textile firm Old World Weavers and ran it until they retired in 1992. During this time, Iris Apfel took part in many design restoration projects, including work at the White House for nine presidents: Truman, Eisenhower, Nixon, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Reagan, and Clinton.
Iris Apfel still consults, and also lectures about style and other fashion topics.

In 2005, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City premiered an exhibition about the fashionable style of Iris Apfel entitled Rara Avis (Rare Bird): The Irreverent Iris Apfel. The success of the exhibit was profound that planted the seed for traveling versions of the exhibit displayed at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach;the Nassau County Museum in Nassau County, New York; and the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Mass. The Museum of Lifestyle & Fashion History in Boynton Beach is in the conceptual phase of a 93,000 square feet (8,600 m2) new building that will include a dedicated gallery for the clothes, accessories and furnishings of Iris Apfel.

































































Wonderful style icon Iris Apfel talks about the importance of accessories !!!
Have a look at her interview here

Fall, leaves, fall

"Fall, leaves, fall'


Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.

I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night's decay
Ushers in a drearier day."
