Secret garden

Do you remember Frances Burnett novel "The Secret Garden" novel? Do you remember the mistery, the little girl dreams, the scenery? Mulberry invites you to visit Secret Garden one more time. Maybe you will find something new in it?

Photos come form Mulberry SS2011 ad campaign. Campaign was shoot by Tim Walker, styled by Edward Enninful. Models: Lindsey Wixson and Nimue Smit. I really like this campaign. I want the bag and the hair...

love and other marketing strategies

Last weekend, driven by the need of movie date, I have convinced my boyfriend to see "Love and other drugs". I am normally not attracted by the chick flicks and romantic comedies, I find them just too previsible. Somehow I believed this one will be different. Of course it wasn't so I am starting to think I am just a victim of some markeing strategy that makes girls loose their heads once Jake G. is on the poster.Naked.

He is also naked in 40% of the movie. But that does not help. Nor does the good Annie H. role and the quite interesting plot. Somehow the movie feels flat. There are some moments where we can laugh politely and we can even shed a tear. But the ensemble is just not working as it should.

What did you think of this movie? Flat, interesing, cute abs Jake? Share with me!

And I promise not to be tempted by any movie poster, ever.

Orange is in

One more day closer to spring.

And one more SS 2011 ad campaign to show. This time is Marc Jacobs. His SS 2011 collection got rather mixed reviews. Not everyone will feel good in the 70s styling and bright colors and in my opinion whole collection is a bit too agressive. But then maybe MJ is not for everyone?

When I look at this photos all I can think is Chupa Chups and "Taxi Driver".

Lace inspirations on a rainy day

Now and then I like to get lost in the streets of Paris. I believe it's the only way to really feel the city spirit and feel it's heart beat. Even though sky was covered with clouds and rain was just around the corner I have took my umbrella and get out. My feets led me to a nice little jewelry  store in Saint Germain called Baby Budda. I must confess - the store name inspired me to walk in.

This is a little story how I disovered Vanessa Mimran Nessa collection and fell in love with it.

Bracelet Azyiade collection

Neckles Azyiade collection

bracelet Snake collection

ring Tiger collection

ring Tresse collection

Her pieces are delicate like they are made of  lace. They are very feminine and at the same strong. Contrary of what we believe they prove that delicate jeweley can also make a statement. Just look at the tiger ring. 

Vanessa Mimran is the designer to follow and I am sure we will her about her in the near future.

I strongly recomend visiting Baby Budda (68 rue des Saints Pères)  and Nessa website .

i have promised you more

I have promised you more SS 2011 ad campaigns so there you go...

Tom Ford Eyewear campaign is out.

What you think? For me it's sexy yet smart and classy. All that Tom Ford stands for. No need to say that those frames are really nice and I wouldn't mind getting one for myself. Only thing that bothers me here is the 70s, 80s styling, but then all SS 2011 season will be like that so I would better get use to it. 

I think I prefer the 2010 ad campaign.

The tan line and non existing clothes strangely make the eyewear more interesting. Do you agree?

But I understand - since Tom Ford launched new ( exquisite)  women clothing line, it's better to show some clothes in new ad campaigns, right?

spring is comming

You might still have Chistmas time memories in your head , but fashion world is moving fast forward...to spring.We have already seen SS 2011 collections, now it's time to check out new season's campaigns.
First one I've spotted: Chole

David Sims for Chole SS 2011

David Sims did a great job here... I can already feel the warm sun on my face. And I can definitely see myself in that coat. More campaigns to come, stay tuned!

new year, new bag

All the best in 2011!
I hope you all had a great Christmas break and New Year Eve.
Now it's time to go back to reality, right?

Let's kick off New Year with new concept - new bag for new year!Even better if it's a creation of a new bag designer.

Victoria Beckams just launched her new SS2011 Bags collection. You can see samples above and buy the real thing on net à porter. All I can say about this collection is classy and elegant. And that is exactly what I expected from VB. I am already head over heels for her dresses, now I can add one of her bags to my wish list. What do you choose for your 2011 bag?

If you wish to see whole collection visit VB official website.
