STREETSTYLE HIGHLIGHTS 2012

A new year is coming in four days and it would be such a shame not to look back at some of the most beautiful moments that happened on the streets of our four favourite cities in the world. I won't give you a list of trends that occupied our minds (and wallets) or say who was the best or worst dressed - there will be plenty of sites and magazines offering you info on that.
Instead, I'll be totally biased as always and show you some of the girls that made my heart sparkle a little more during the fashion year of twenty-twelve.

Elena Perminova. Miroslava Duma. Rumi Neely. Leigh Lazark. Natasha Goldenberg. Caroline Issa.


Elena Perminova
aka the russian bon bon who delights me with her immaculate taste and almost-always amazingly brave choices

Miroslava Duma
her petite frame allows her to wear everything and anything

Neli Rumi
one of my favourite bloggers - her simple looks amaze me

Leigh Lezark
rock n roll + love her hair

Natasha Goldenberg
a new star on the fashion sky

Caroline Issa
'If Chanel made management consultants, they would look like Issa.' (the Telegraph)

Hello fall...

Okay, here's the recipe for fall:
pick the perfect shade of strong, dark lipstick, find yourself a gorgeous man, enjoy some new silhouettes and act as you're a born aristocrat. 

Not such a big deal, huh?
Okay, let's be serious for just a moment (cause if I really wanted my blog to be all serious, I would be writing about Toddlers & Tiaras) and talk about what fall's offering. And that, to be completely blunt, is a lot. You can be as picky as you wish, you'll still be able to put your finger on that one trend that you'll love and cherish until the flowers bloom somewhere in March and you stop throwing so much fabric on your body yet once again.

This season it's all about finding proportions that suit you - if you're rather slender, you can play with trends like combining a wide long skirt with a loose sweater (so often seen on runways) and if you're curvy you can slip into a peplum top paired with a just-right pair of leather pants. As long as you're sure which route you wanna take this season, you're able to explore all the options. And by route I mean just think of what mood you want to set for yourself - is it fierce, feminine, bold, rich? 
For me, fall's gonna be about less color, more sharpness put into looks, and tailored, polished pieces. My ultimate to-buy items right now are:
a pair of perfect ankle boots, a great black leather bag, peplum dress and a rich dark, feminine coat.

Fashionista crush: RUSSIAN FASHIONISTAS RULE THE FASHION WORLD

Once upon a time, there were four Russian girls who loved fashion more than anything else in the world. Their names were Elena Perminova, Miroslava Duma, Ulyana Sergeenko,Vika Gazinskaya. Elena is a former model, Miroslava is an editor for Russian Harper's Bazaar, Ulyana and Vika are both fashion designers, but what they are known for all around the world for is their style.
You've probably seen their photos everywhere - from Sartorialist to Stockholm StreetStyle, and their personal sites but, I don't think many of know what their names were.
So here it is, folks, the fantastic four.
