FROM BRIDAL, RED CARPET, NOW SHOES

Check out these fabulous shoes collection from Monique Lhuillier.

Known for her famous bridal and gorgeous red carpet attires, she’s branching out to her very first shoes collection for Spring 2013 which look super elegant just like her iconic gowns.

While I can’t see a bride walking down the aisle with these babies, but I’m pretty sure it’ll be a fashion statement somewhere down another aisles. 

THIS IS NOT MY SHOE CLOSET

But I really wish it is.

It’s actually an awesome concept by Coach, when shoes closet goes digital. Available on their online store for Spring 2013 collection, it’s a dream closet indeed.

Tell me, who wouldn’t want racks full of spring colored shoes? Super perfect for our Jakarta’s weather, with complete types of feet fancies that every woman should have in their real shoe closet. Pastel sandals with tassles, pastel moccasins, ankles straps wedges, sexy heels, metallic huaraches, cute flats and slippers…I am sold.

 

SUSTAINABLE + HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR = ?

The Conscious Exclusive Collection at H&M.

This is what I called partying without guilt (in fashion terms). Made from more sustainable materials such as organic cotton, recycled polyester, recycled polyamide and Tencel, the collection will feature not only clothing but accessories for men and women.

Hollywood’s glitz and glam for the ladies & classic with a touch of rock and roll for the guys (I can imagine Johnny Depp rocking the fringe sleeves suit and look super awesome).

The Conscious Exclusive Collection will be available in around 140 H&M stores worldwide as well as online from April 4, 2013. 

AND I SAY …

we all must move on from our addiction of red heels.

(Fashion) Life goes on, and it’s time to check out these fun, bold and fierce heels from an American designer, Taylor Reeve.

Before “Taylor Says” (her shoes brand), this native Californian girl was painting motorcycles and surfboards. Now, she’s channeling her wearable art through shoes (read stilettos).

From her Spring 2013 collection, these are my favorites. I love the “Melons” with gingham fabric and printed watermelon for the heels, “Anchors Away” which featured anchors on striking blue uppers and a cartoony art on the heels & last but not least, “Hells Bells” (so Givenchy with the bulldogs), contrasting pink and green for the heels.

 

NEED A SATURDAY FASHION TIPS?

Let me present two collections with the most wanted day in mind.

You’re not alone if you wish every day is Saturday. The joy of no alarm clock, no morning rush, suddenly all things wonderful. And yet those relaxing feeling should be interpreted in the correct fashionable way…means no sloppy attires on the weekend please.

Thankfully, Marni (collaborated with a Dutch artist, Rop van Mierlo) created their new capsule collection for Spring 2013 called “Saturday Morning” and Kate Spade, launched her hip little sister named “Saturday”. Just perfect for a lovely Saturday.

Bright, colorful, fun clothes and accessories, with more affordable price than their original line are another reason why we should love Saturday even more. 

THAT MINTY FEELING

Tingling minty sensation for your ‘now’ look.

Ahhh…this color is really a sight for sore eyes. Celebrate spring and pick your mint from clutches to bags.

MISS LAWRENCE

First Oscar and first ad campaign as the face of Miss Dior.

Not bad for a 22 years old actress, right? While the ads will be shown worldwide in prints by April 2013, thanks to Dior Indonesia, I got to share these stunning pictures of her.

Shown with Miss Dior bags, she wears designs from Spring RTW collection by none other than Raf Simons, current Dior Creative Director. 

YES, A WOMAN CAN HAVE IT ALL …

Head to toe Chanel, a gorgeous husband and a cute kid. 

At least, according to Karl Lagerfeld. Chanel’s Spring 2013 campaign video (directed by Karl himself), entitled “Public Garden” was shot in black and white a la silent movie. Set in Musée Rodin in Paris, France, Lindsey Wixson starred with the ever handsome Brad Kroening as someone else’s husband. The cute kid, is Karl’s godson, Hudson Kroening, wearing a matching Choupette sweatshirt and tee. Oooohhhh…..

SPRING FLING

Coming soon in March 2013, Conscious Collection by H&M. Here’s to fashion for better tomorrow.

Part of H&M ongoing commitment to a more sustainable fashion future, this collection are made from Conscious material such as organic cotton (FYI, H&M is no 1 user of organic cotton worldwide), recycled polyester and Tencel.

Vanessa Paradis (actress, singer and ehm Johnny Depp’s ex) looked angelic as the face for this campaign. I love the warm lighting and the natural scenery sets for the video. The full Conscious Collection (including men, kids and babies), will be available in H&M stores worldwide and online from March 25, 2013. 

OTHER THAN H&M?

H&M will be having a new more luxurious line called “& Other Stories”. 

Spring 2013, seven stores in London, Barcelona, Berlin, Copenhagen, Milan, Paris and Stockholm will be open. Offering women’s shoes, bags, accessories, beauty products and ready to wear created by their ateliers in Paris and Stockholm, they will have online boutique (soon) as well. Said to bring a more diverse collection from masculine tailoring to feminine chic, I wonder how expensive they’ll be comparing to C.O.S (another brand by H&M Group).

Anyway, while waiting for the brand to pop out, check out the video, capturing Lisa Butler (she’s a renowned make up artist) for the teaser of this exciting upcoming brand.
