The patchwork version of Céline Diamond Bag is a blast, a it-bag, a must-have, name it as you like! Once again this week, Phoebe Philo impressed us : throwing a wonderful (though really expensive – 1350€) touch of excentricity on the classic minimalist Celine SS2012 collection! No doubt that a promising future for all the “Made in Céline” products is still looming ahead! Bravo Ms Philo! Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve always dreamed of an amazing leather jacket but I’ve always been too tall too. This one from Acne really makes we want to be smaller. It’s made from heavy cow leather, and is all lined with nylon. Padded shoulders, a enhanced back and sleeve detailing. Diagonal zipper opened and a small buttoned pocket on the front. Double belt closure on the sides, slanted, zipped front pockets and openable sleeve endings. That’s a AAA rating for sure ! Read the rest of this entry »

Even during the darkest moments of Berlin’s turbulent modern history, the city never lost its electric creativity or its stylish brio. Whether you visit for the fashion, cuisine or Grade A sightseeing (the city boasts an enviable spread of museums, galleries and boutiques), Berlin comes up with big, distinctive offerings!

I want to show you one of the coolest hotels in the world! Guess where? In the heart of Berlin, of course! Located directly on the banks of the river Spree, and at the epicentre of the music, fashion and creative scene (Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg), a unique lifestyle hotel opened in November 2010: the nhow Berlin. nhow basically stands for a new generation of hotels: offbeat, lively, dynamic and with a local flair that simultaneously has worldwide appeal. nhow centers on music and design and is the only hotel in Europe offering two professional music studios! Many pics after the break!  Read the rest of this entry »

One should never underestimate the importance of a nice travel bag. I’ve always had a lot of fun reading famous magazines trying to teach us “how to travel with style”. They always place some luxury leather bags, from Vuitton to Hugo Boss, all very ugly and expensive. The thing is that if you spend less on your leather bag, you can spend more on your travel ! That being said, you still have to find a nice travel bag. I advise you take a look at French leather heritage brand Leon Flam. They have been doing bags for decades now so you can count on their expertise. The inspiration and designs take their roots in the major adventures of the twentiest century : young pilots transfering mails between continents, flying heros of the French Aeropostale.

I know some girls who aren’t going to miss these Céline pumps when they hit the stores in the coming days ! Although they are available in all black suede goatskin, I really like the dualtone contrast, which to me highlights the perfect sole curve and platform look of the shoes. More colors available after the break ! Read the rest of this entry »
