Sorry, I can't help it ...

Along with Chloé ads, Miu Miu and Prada ads are a weak point of mine. This one I found digging through the piles of magazines that I for unknown reasons decided to drag along to my new flat located on the 4th floor (the removers weren't exactly thrilled at the sight of my Vogue UK chair). But on topic, this ad is from fall/winter 2002 featuring Michele Nicks, shot by Mert and Marcus. And below, the infamous Vogue chair.

Une fille matérielle

I read all of those magazines yesterday! I've left Provence for now (fortunately going back in mid-August) and had the pleasure of having those publications as travel companions on that long and tedious journey with a lengthy stopover in the exotic Düsseldorf. Well, it wasn't so bad. I actually had the largest cappucino I've ever seen in that airport and the waiter who served me was awfully cute as well. Anyways, I'm glad to be home. Reunited with my camera and lovely flat. Today I've just enjoyed my own company (I think I've parent-OD'ed).. taking my time to settle back in, doing some grocery shopping, going to the post office, cleaning, relaxing.. and taking pictures of my new purchases! So here goes:


..white Zara tunic dress.. this is the back.. it has cute little buttons on the front..


..10 euro tunic dress from Monoprix.. the color is quite difficult but it has so many lovely details that I simply couldn't resist..


..Repetto ballerinas - finally a worthy substitute for my current but very old gold ballet flats.. i wear them with everything!


..golden, woven Minelli flats.. starting to see a pattern in my shoes purchases?


..Princesse Tam Tam underwear (there's a buttom part, too but she's less photogenic)..


..H&M tennis-esque sneakers, bought them for hiking in Isola2000 but will probably put some new laces into them to make them slightly more interesting..


..and the dress of my dreams finally arrived! A Miu Miu spring/summer '06 creation.. it's perfect and I love it to bits already!

Inspiration du Jour

I've always been a huge fan of Miu Miu (and Prada) ads but I think this one might be one of my favorites for them ever to publish. The combination of minimal styling, black/white photos + a young Angela Lindvall is just divine. No muss, no fuss - Isn't it just true that simplest and least complicated things turn out to be the best? I certainly think so.

Also, I just wanted to say thanks to those of you who stopped by and read my blog this month. I'm quite green when it comes to blogging but I do enjoy it a lot. However, at the moment I'm quite busy since I'm renovating my new flat and today I just moved all of my things. But more about that later, I should have decent post up by tomorrow. Take care of yourselves until then.
