"Three of a Kind"

Can I just say how much I love this editorial? From the cover to the clothes, just great! Anja looks breathtaking, Clémence is such a beautiful girl and even if I don't normally like Chloë Sevigny, I think she's done a good job in this particular editorial.

Now I just have to find a way of getting Nylon here.

"Outfit; Pretty Odd, Skeletons and Flowers"

Late outfit post again, I can't seem to be able to post them on time. I blame the fact that whenever I turn on the computer I am always distracted by the new Panic at the Disco and The Hush Sound albums that I have on repeat!

Music killed the blogger, it seems!

Thanks to my friend and personal photographer, Andy B., I finally have pictures outside the house and at university. This is me trying to make the Tortured Med Student white coat look chic and probably failing miserably.

Flying pose, trying to be tres Vogue Paris :P


The infamous white coat!

dress: Mango, sweater: Zara, belt: Zara, trench coat: H&M, tights: unknown, boots: Musette

I am officially on holiday this week seeing as my country is hosting an international NATO summit so all schools and universities are closed, hooray! So I will have time for more posts and hopefully more outfits soon.

There are models that I like and models who just blow me away all the time. Sasha is part of the latter category. I wasn't always her biggest fan but she just grew and grew on me and now I she is stuck forever in my top five.

I love this editorial, from the lighting to the black-and-white photos, the dresses are so beautiful (Mr. Valentino will always have my soul on a silver platter if he wants it!) and Sasha is stuck between 'beautiful' and 'scary', something that always works for her.

Now I just have to get my hands on the actual french Vogue, fingers crossed!

"Outfit; Biochemists & Real Love"

Outfit I wore on Sunday night for a movie with the Boy. The gray bangle is one I "customized" myself with a black marker: "Real Love, Ridiculous, Inconvenient, Consuming, Can't-Live-Without-Each-Other Love". Sex and the City and Jessica Cushman frenzy go well together.

dress: Kotton, belt: Thrift, tights: Accessorize, bangle: thrift, bracelets: Accessorize, boots: Musette.

Still sick today, so the only important buys I have made consist of a Starbucks Nonfat Latte, a book (Requiem For a Dream by Hubert Selby Jr.) and a gorgeous bangle that I got for about 60% off from Parfois accessories shop. I had my eyes on it for a long time but never felt the need to actually spend the full price, so I guess that waiting really does pay off in the end :)


Also, I suddenly feel the need to change my future profession after reading Gala's post Themed Outfits for Intellectuals. Seeing as there isn't an outfit for aspiring surgeons, I might consider becoming an illustrator, even if just for the cute Mikey Mouse hat!

"Faeries in my Shop"

I am sick with the flu, so no outfit post today because I really don't think that PJs and cups of tea are in this season ;D

Checking Nylon.com (note to self: next time I leave country for holiday, buy this magazine) I stumbled upon this article about the fashion house Only Hearts. And even though the thing that attracted me to the article in the first place was the Bat For Lashes reference, after checking the pictures I really really like the clothes.

They're flirty and fun, nothing too over the top or complicated, but lovely nonetheless. Now I really wish I bought things online, because this and this and this too would look very nice in my closet!

In other news, I'm sure everyone and their grandma's neighbor's dog knows about the gorgeous Prada movie, Trembled Blossoms, made for the S/S 2008 collection. What I didn't know until today was that there's a comic book after the movie too, complete with Sasha P. look-a-like wood faeries:

If I ask nicely, can I get a copy?
