Stolen inspiration

A few days ago I stole something. And I never steal anything! I think it's rather harmless, though. It's a magazine by Danish brand Marc o'Polo (a brand which I know will have quite a high percentage of Danish population cringe just by mentioning its name) which I found in my local sushi take-away. It's free, I think, so I don't really feel bad about it. Oh well. But the reason, that I had to grab this, was the wonderful Charlotte Høyer (CLICK HERE to see more of Charlotte's book, she's truly amazing!) in an editorial shot by Kacper Kazpryk. I was never a huge fan of Marc o'Polo but I think they've nailed this one. Somehow I feel like it reflects the mood in fashion right now very well. Monochrome. Simplistic. Very back to basics. I think I might just have to go into their shop next time I walk by.

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!
