Marni for H&M

Dear readers,

It was just yesterday that I received an H&M box with the pieces I chose of the Versace for H&M-collection and today H&M went public with the news that the spring of 2012 will reward us with a collection of Marni for H&M. I'm SO curious as to how the collection will look like...I'm thinking cute patterns, a modern touch and lots of color, but in a sophisticated way. Below a preview and the announcement of the collaboration between Marni and H&M.


Are you esthetic about this news?

Love, Melissa

P.S. I will soon post some pictures of the items I chose of Versace for H&M!

Give a fashion book!

Shoemint

Dear readers,

It's time for a new celebrity to get their hands on designing. This time it is Rachel Bilson (from The O.C.)! She has collaborated with the stylist from The O.C. and Steve Madden and has come up with a fantastic shoe collection. And another great thing about this shoe collection, is that it is very payable! See here her first collection!

What do you think?

Sister Act!

Dear readers,

Sisters Elle and Dakota Fanning are seriously marching through Hollywood. These young actresses are working hard to become the new generation of A-list actresses and they are doing a great job on that! W Magazine was also interested in Elle and Dakota and that's why they are now on the cover of W magazine with an inside special on these two adorable sisters. What do you think of the shoot?

Poem

Dear readers,

A beautiful poem by Jackson Kiddard:


"The bliss you seek

Can't be found by another

Not friend or dad or mom or lover

Begin within and you'll see

Its yourself that sets you free."
 

Try to live up to that!
 
Love, Melissa

Mirror mirror on the wall!

Dear readers,

Is any of you familiar with the British photographer Tim Walker? If not, what a pity! He makes some of the most entertaining and gorgeous photos! It's actually kind of fairytale-like. For this reason, he is one of Vogue's, Harpers Bazaar and W's favourites! Wanna see some shots? Ok, here we go!






I don't think I have said too much, right?

Love, Melissa

Coolest thing ever!

Dear readers,

My father has been working in the tropical plant business for ages, since his early 20's to be precise. He loves his work and is really passionate about it. Some 15 years ago he created a new plant which he named after me and my two sisters...how cool is that. So our names are: Monica, Claudia and Melissa and the plant is called:

FICUS MOCLAME

Get it? ;) Cool, right?! And on top of all this: it is a beautiful plant!!! Take a look!



Now all of you...go get your own Ficus Moclame for in house!!! LOL :)

Love, Melissa

Ignite!

Dear readers,

You can make someone's day without even knowing it! Give your fellow human being a compliment, give them a smile...who knows in what situation that person is and what that compliment of smile can do for him or her. Words are full of power, smiles are full of power! Let us use these to benefit not only others, but also ourselves!

As James Keller said it:

“A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.”

Much love,

Melissa


Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld

Dear readers,

You might ask yourself: why these two names in one sentence? Well, here's why: they have been working together on a book! So what's the book about? It all evolves around the classic black Chanel tweed jacket and all the different varieties of how to wear the jacket.

Here a preview of some photos which will be published in the book.


What do you think of the shots? I love the black and white effect!

Love, Melissa
