Sandra Backlund

Sewing mends the soul

Crochet knitwear, evokes a grandmother knitting away with love and care, and sadly creating some frumpy shaped sweater, and even now I'm still not the greatest fan of crochet and any itchy shapeless knitwear but these gem pieces of knitwear created by Swedish designer Sandra Backlund are acapulco gold. This collection is called Pool Position and there's plenty more from her recent collections. These are meticulously hand made with dexterity and ingenuity.

Black Button

press the right button

In 2009 the Black Button brand in Italy was born out of the common intent of 3 friends, who wish to create something simple and yet unique. There collection is based entirely on a basic and indispensable leader: the t-shirt.That are oversize, to wear with leggings, or associates, the most classical form, the t.shirt Black Button create entirely by hand, cotton, playing on the most essential and elegant combination of colors: white and black, with some concessions to red.

Bra Dryer

Bringing a change in Underwear

Is this the new marvellous invention?! The Bra Dryer is a simple device which is based on the presumption that the best way to dry bras without ruining their fabric, wiring and padding is to dry them on a shape which resembles female breasts. When I first saw this I though it was a music player for an Ipod maybe. I do wonder whether these will catch on and you'll see these appearing backstage for the Victoria Secret Fashion show, although having said that, the underwear garments catwalked are new and don't need to be washed and dried! 

Whether it is useful or not new inventions are always intriguing. I do love my gadgets!

Silver Black Stone Armor Ring + Multi Chain Cross Connector Bracelet 

January feels like an odd month, if January was assigned to any day of the week it would be a Monday, the festive season is over , add to that freezing weather, but it is a chance for a fresh year! Although the credit card bills will be piling in, I am on a semi shopping ban, but not including accessories, as you all know just by accessorising and styling alone, can change a whole look of an outfit. Fashionology.nl has some lovely bits and pieces for reasonable hyena change, especially if you live in the Netherlands and Europe as I noticed the shipping price is dirt cheap. =]

Jin Young Yu

what is essential is invisible to the eye

There's something hauntingly beautiful about Jin Youn Yu's transparent sculptures, the artist Youn Yu was inspired by invisible people, about people who, instead of getting along with others, choose to keep a distance from them, and be invisible or be left alone unconcerned. Instead of trying to fit into the world, they climb into a space of their own and reject other people’s intrusions.

Pamela Reed & Matthew Rader

all animated by hope, obstructed by danger, entangled by desire, and seduced by pleasure

Photographers Pamela Reed and Matthew Rader shoot some very entertaining fascinating animated portraits of Paul Pavlovska. I think the model Paul does a great job, brings out some fun and feminity!

Sari Savoir-Faire

//Photographer Suresh Natarajan 

This photo shoot reminds me of the iconic Audrey Hepburn with an elegant Sari and Jewels and effortless grace, makes me want to embrace high-voltage panach and subtlety, and to reach out to my closet and adorn myself with my Vivienne Westwood pearls and sweep my hair back and to fine tune poise and sophistication!.....
