BOLDSTAR* Gila Boot. They have used a unique structure detail so the boot is double layered with the suede hanging over the leather. Soft black leather and suede mix. Buy at Oki Ni for just £75.


CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN Studded Louis Sneakers. I love them! And they are a real bargain at only $1200...

I wrote a not so positive review on Daisy Lowe's collection for SWAROVSKI yesterday, but I found this ring which I thought I must write about. It is model for women, but can be bought in different sizes so men can purchase he ring as well. You can also buy it in different colours but BLACK IS BEST...
The ring is made from Jet Crystals and costs EUR 179 from swarovski.de

Grooming

In my opinion, the best Hand Cream out there!
The Fast Absorbing Hand Cream by NEUTROGENA
is ideal for on the go. It is super small and absorbs
literally within seconds as well as being under £5.
Buy it here: Chemist Direct

Calling all Bankers and 9 to 5 workers

For all you Bankers and corporate office slaves out there. How about changing the work uniform you wear daily for something a little more crafted and stylish this Spring? (without becoming the laughing stock of the entire office) Below are some of the more suttle pieces of the current SS 10 collections by Etro, Galliano, Emporio Armani, Armani, Dries v Noten and Ferre.

Daisy Lowe designs for Swarovski

Daisy Lowe has designed a cpasule collection for Swarovski Crystallized, its a collection of charms, bracelets and earings. Its very esthatically pleasing, but not exactly the most innovative. The designs have a great colour scheme but lack any sort of new design and creativity. That is my opinion... They are safe options, so I'm sure they will sell well.

LAUNCH PARTY is tonight in collaboration with Ponystep (as always)

Kesha- Tik Tok- says the clock mock tock

LOVE Kesha, I think she is amazing, her song Tik Tok is super. (what a strange sentence)
Strange that the song was first released in the US last August and went straight to number one, quite rare that it took so long for it to blow up here and for it to be successful in Germany first. With Tik Tok she set the female weekly download record in America. Well Done You Sexy Thing!

I really 'dig' the american street style she embraces and that she didnt jump on the Lady Gaga bandwagon.

MONCLER is back with an unintended BANG

Have you been outside lately?
You will notice that there has been quite a lot of snow in the UK, which I thought wasnt as bad as everyone made it out to be, but what really caught my eye was the return of MONCLER to our streets. I do like Moncler and think every well dressed man (or woman) should own one of these shiny puffers.
In the past years, MONCLER seems to have been reserved for Italian or Spanish tourists, it became their trademark the world over, just like Germans wear white socks in sandals and carry Eastpacks (as a German, I am allowed to say that). One of my childhood memories is my dad wearing this "juicy green grass" colored MONCLER puffer jacket and Lord I hated it... I found it embarrassing to be seen with him, but have now realized that he just had style and bought a timeless classic, which I made him wear again this winter.

Everyone, go and buy a MONCLER. Trust me, if it wont be back in fashion this year, it will be in 5 so see it as an investment.

On the other side, I am not quite sure about the Thom Browne/Moncler collaboration "Gamme Bleu". I know it received fantastic press, but the last S/S collection looked identical to an old B-Store or even Ralph Lauren, I dont think they are getting the whole British originality across.
Then again they have only been around since 2008, so they may be excused.

Lady Gaga goes Haus of GaGa and does DaDa for new PaPa

Right, since I still have an ego trip on me writing about Lady Gaga before she got big in the UK back in '08, I thought now would be a good time to stop that. -) Anyway, enough bla bla.

Last week, Lady Gaga was named the CD of Polaroid and made a first official appearance in Las Vegas on the 7th. "I am so proud to announce my new partnership with Polaroid as the creative director and inventor of specialty projects", said Lady Gaga. "The Haus of Gaga has been developing prototypes in the vein of fashion/technology/photography innovation..."

This I think is the best statement I have ever heard coming from her mouth. To call herself the Haus of Gaga, brave yet brilliant.
She has a multi year contract with them, so lets hope she'll stay on top and comes up with some good ideas.

CATWALKS exhibition Düsseldorf Exhibition

I spent a couple of days at home in düsseldorf/germany, where i heard about a much talked about fashion exhibition "Catwalks" which was on at the famous NRW forum (which also held the acclaimed exhibition Radical Advertising with the liquidated Chanel sign and the Vivienne Westwood retrospective). 

The exhibition was unbelievable! With runway films from Balmain, Chanel, V&R, John Galliano, Dior, and many more. Showing ready to wear, haute couture and resort collections. To view the films you were walking along a rebuilt catwalk, up and down and around corners. You were given a pair of headphones which played the relevant music to the shows or interviews with Karl Lagerfeld, Anna Wintour besides others. Its definitely worth going!!!

Simply fabulous.

The september issue-Vogue

I was one of the lucky ones to be amongst the first in the UK to see The september issue last week. I was not impressed!

In my eyes it is yet another documentary on Anna Wintour like all the others that have been made before. There is nothing new to be gathered from it other than that it portrays her rather well and not so much as the evil devil who dictates the fashion world. 

I guess it will inspire a lot of young girls and boys to enter the fashion world and if you do not work in the industry, you will most probably like it. I can see it being a big success for those reasons and at the end of the day it is great publicity for Vogue.

Watch it and see what you think!

Lara Stone on NJAL.com

LARA STONE is joining the September issue action - the September issue of the online platform for emerging design talent NOTJUSTALABEL.COM that is, not the film currently transfixing the fashion world.

The Dutch supermodel will lend her fashion eye to the London-based initiative and its newly launched The Shop concept, selecting the best items from its 1,800 plus directory of designers to feature in its September selection - or rather issue. Stone will even model some of the pieces - a great accolade for any aspiring young designer.

Launched last year, NOTJUSTALABEL.COM works to introduce new designers and their work to the world. Each month, celebrities and industry figures curate a collection of pieces for The Shop. Stone follows in the footsteps of Robin Schulie, the head buyer at Paris store Maria Luisa, and fashion blogger Diane Pernet - both of whom have made selections for The Shop previously.

Stone's will curate The Shop from September 2.
