Although crochet pieces have always reminded me on those horrific little decorative table clothes that grandmas used to place on top of the TV or a book shelf and pin it down with completely useless dust loving figure of a porcelain angel or a Virgin Marry, I have purchased my first crochet dress at a Rugby RL store about 3-4 years ago and I wore it with vintage brown leather western boots and a thick Rugby belt.
This season (SS 2011.) most designers had at least one black, white and/or ivory crochet piece in their collection from Dolce Gabbana duo to Gucci, Pucci and Ralph, we could have seen maxi crochet dresses, mono-kinies, shorts and blouses which look excellent with jean shorts and chunky heels.

Here are some inspirational pieces from runway to editorial, beach and street which I am sure you will beautifully individualize to fit your personal lifestyle.
Do you have a crochet piece in your closet already lovelies? What do you wear it with?
Xoxo,
In preparation for summer holidays I have compiled a list of my summer essentials for good quality summer vacation. No matter how many days, weeks it might at the end last due to my busy work schedule, I know it will be fabulous as long as I spend it with dear people, relaxing and having fun.
Without further due, I have selected some basics out of which one could compile variety of summer looks day to night while still not going overweight in luggage.
Also, there are some rules to follow in order to have a relaxing vacation….
#1 It’s ok to be lazy…
#2 Spend time alone to clear your head & unwine...
#3 Don't forget to pack your favorite beach read...
#4 This Summer - its all about maxi (not body weight but dresses & skirts) be sure to pack a piece or two to wear as a beach cover-up or to romantic dinner afterwards. Here are my favorites. During summer - you can also go all out with jewelry - just make sure you then tone down with outfit colors and patterns.
#8 I like to use summer to rest my feet so I keep my footwear comfortable but stylish - bellow is my selection of fabulous summer sandals.
#9 A piece of clothing you hopefully spend the most summer in is your favorite bikini or a fabulous one piece suite. I have selected a number of pieces for different body types and budgets.
#10 If all of the rules above are completed - I am sure the #10 will come as given. Summer romance is definitely always more impactful and positive although many times quit light and breezy then any relationships during the year - so go ahead - smooch a lot during summer!

This is to invite you to my dazzling world of fantasy, drama, fabulosity, fashion, shabby chic furnishing, 24-7 dreaming, romance, hard work, puppy love and Papi love; to my world of inspiration and my hopeless romantic and positive, but real vibe which I am trying to project in my blog posts although sometimes in sarcastic and humorous way.
It has been almost four years now since I wrote my first blog post driven by a bit different things then it' is the case today. I feel like my writing is more structured now and through this blog I have matured and grown together with you who have been following me through all these years – which I love you and thank you for! I am really touched by your emails and comments – they really make my day every time – keep them coming!
Now my blog is more focused but still inspired by same core values and personal interests.
LIFE
As an extremely hyper person, I do have rather rich personal and professional life out of which I pick the events that triggered my emotions which I think you could relate to and find comfort in, and I share them interested to hear your thoughts and your stories.
LOVE
Hopeless romantic that I am, both heartaques and crazy in-loves inspire me to write true story short tales which I form into lyrics To Whom It May Concern J I still believe in true, honest, crazy, inconvenient, can’t live without each other kind of love!
FASHION
I am still motivated and inspired by fashion trends but I do not report on recycled seasonal trends, my focus is on personalization and innovation which young and fierce new designers bring to this new age fashion industry – which is now more than ever before personalized, global and reactive towards needs which street puts forward.
What motivates you in your daily life lovelies? Do you go after your dreams?

Documentary filmmaker Brennan Stasiewicz infiltrates the cosseted world of Daphne Guinness in Daphne’s Window. Featuring intimate footage of the icon at her Fifth Avenue apartment, the short follows the eccentric fashion patron and socialite as she prepares for her recent installation in the windows of Barneys New York. The storefront showcased her collection of pieces by designer Lee Alexander McQueen and a selection from the archive of fashion editor Isabella Blow, which Guinness purchased in its entirety last year.
The display culminated in a performance art piece in which Guinness dressed for the Met ball in one of the flagship’s windows, modeling a lilac feathered gown designed by McQueen’s Sarah Burton. “She appears to me as someone always in a window,” says Stasiewicz. “Someone you can approach and see, but you remain on the other side.”
This year brings a multitude of projects for the heiress: her sculptural armored glove collaboration with jeweler Shaun Leane (pictured in today’s film) will be exhibited by Jay Jopling in a private viewing in London later this month; and in September a retrospective at The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology will pay homage to her style.
“Daphne is someone to take pleasure in, and in many ways, someone who incites moments of wonder,” says Stasiewicz.

To be worn by bad girls go out, or good girls gone bad –everybody seem to want to get spiked. I have selected some of the amazingly spiked pieces of clothing and accessories available now on your favorite online & bricks and mortar shops for you to get inspired. I myself love to wear gentle summer florals, nudes and powder pinks however each of us has that f… off world moment when we just get in the moods that call for dark and spiky pieces.
Even men wear spikes for some extra manliness and some bad boy appeal ;)

I am a definitely a mood rather than occasion inspired dresser so my spiky looks tend to come out either when I am feeling extra fierce or super fragile so I need some spiky heels for protection.
It’s a dangerous world out there ladies! You got your spikes on?
