PFW 2012: Chanel

Dear readers,

This is my last post covering Fashion Month and in particular Paris Fashion Week 2012. We're ending it with Chanel's Spring/Summer 2013 collection. As you can see, Karl Lagerfeld used big chunks of pearls in this collection. I think it's kind of cool. Although I do like this collection, it is not something I would wear myself. What about you?

Love, Melissa

P.S. Karl used big windmills in his show...proud Dutchie here ;)

July 2012 Top Finds @ Fashiolista

Dear readers,

Whoops, I am a day late, but thought it was still worth mentioning which items on my Fashiolista page where this month's top finds. Or am I wrong? ;) Nahh...didn't think so! So, lets see which three items were most popular this month!

Gold nail polish by Chanel (trendme.net)

Pleated silk-chiffon dress by Tibi (theoutnet.com)

Black cut-out dress (missselfridge.com)

Which of these three items gets your vote? My vote goes to the Tibi dress. I love the navy colour and its breeziness. Aside from that, I think it is a really elegant dress.

Love, Melissa

P.S. As always, all items can be found & loved on my Fashiolista page! Are you a follower yet?

Beach Fantastique!

Dear readers,

I am loving the editorial of Elle Mexico this month. I can definitely feel the vacation vibes going up and down my body while looking at the pictures. Model Bekah Jenkins is shot by the amazing photographer Arnalda Anaya-Lucca in ready-to-wear creations of Versace, Giorgio Armani, Chanel and Miu Miu. Have a look at the shots for yourself!

What do you think of this editorial? And which pic is your favourite? Mine is pic number 4!

Love, Melissa

On the run!

Dear readers,

The March issue of Vogue Paris features an editorial of model Karlie Kloss and what a different editorial it is. Karlie Kloss poses in a sporty kind of way in designs by Max Mara, Rick Owens, Mulberry and Chanel. The photos are shot by Hans Feurer and I think he did a fantastic job. Have a look at some of the photos of this editorial!

How different and fabulous, right? I really dig this editorial, because I find it so out-of-the-box. I can really appreciate that. What do you think? And what do you think of model Karlie Kloss? I think she will become a very big name in the fashion industry, because she has such a strong pose, strong body and face and because I think she is the type of model whom can be used for a broad range of modelling work.

Which shot is your favourite? Mine is # 2!

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
