Versailles 2012. What a magnificent venue for a collection to take place! Especially for Chanel! The greenery, the tends, the models coming down from the stairs and the waterfall created the perfect scene for an..almost perfect runway! However..neither the clothes nor the creeper shoes lived up to my expectations and the collection did not look as cruise as it should be.The line is obviously inspired by the 1700s with Marie Antouanette but the pink eyes are not at lot flattering. Not to mention the extremely annoying music! Although I found some good pieces like the gold embroidery sleveless jacket, the jewelry were so fine and the details on the dresses were more than gorgeous, the truth is that I was expecting more..
Great detail the Double C for Chanel on the upper side of the cheecks as they used to do in the 1700′s

I couldn’t help but posting this video. This Procter & Gamble commercial honors everything that all moms do to help their children succeed by showcasing the amazing moms behind Olympic athletes at the London 2012 Olympic Games. The hardest job in the world is truly the best job in the world.
Although it is quite early…Happy mother’s day!

Valerie van der Graaf is the cover girl at Vogue Hellas for the May 2012 issue. Shot by Mara Desipris, the model is wearing an Hermes prints dress from SS 2012 capturing an ultimately elegant, chic look. The dress is very flattering while keeping its volume without missing its shape . The choice of the model seems to fit perfectly to the Greek backround and her pose is fantastic, showing even the leather details at the wrists! Needless to mention that the headscarf is so beautiful giving the model an air of sofistication and french elegance… Something like Grace Kelly:)

I have a great affection when it comes to Vespas. Since the 20′s the stylish vehicle has been an icon of style not only for fashion but for design, art and architecture. The Piaggio family, after the war were struggling to reinvent their business . There is a legend that Enrico Piaggio was inspired by his employees, who had trouble getting from one part of the Piaggio facility to another due to large portions of it being bombed out. However, this same tale is told of Vespa competitor Lambretta, so the story is doubtful..
In any case the family created a design and based on its shape and the sound of the engine, Piaggio decided to call it “Wasp.” The Italian word for wasp, of course, is vespa! After that, the history is quite know. Once Vespas were associated with celebrities, their popularity spread worldwide.
