Coco Chanel... By M



"Elegance is not the perogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future." 

"Fashion is made to become unfashionable." 

"Adornment, what a science! Beauty, what a weapon! Modesty, what elegance!" 

"Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity." 

"A woman who doesn't wear perfume has no future." 

"Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman."

"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous."

"Fashion passes, style remains." 

"Nature gives you the face you have at twenty. Life shapes the face you have at thirty. But at fifty you get the face you deserve."

"Fashion is not simply a matter of clothes. Fashion is in the air, born upon the wind. One intuits it. It is in the sky and on the road."

Olivia Palermo in the green army jacket. By S.











Olivia palermo, the great trend setter, is a fan of the green military jacket, so popular this Autumn 2012. She wears loser and more fitted versions of the trend, keeping the rest of her outfit feminine and in neutral colors. I own a green military jacket which I bought this summer in Urban Outfitters in Berlin, you can check it out here. It's one of those items that spends more time hanging on my back than in my wardrobe!

Marion Cotillard in the new Miss Dior campaign. By S.





As soon as I saw this image of Marion Cotillard for Dior's new campaign for the Miss Dior bag, I knew I had to share it with you. Once again Cotillard is the face of the iconic bag, this time around she appears posing as an American socialite on the beaches of The Hamptons. The campaign, shot by the photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino, will be officially launched in December issues of top fashion magazines such as Elle.



Dior has been collaborating with Marion Cotillard since 2010. Take a look at this other exclusive photo shoot, also by Jean-Baptiste Mondino, where the French actress steps into some of the beautiful couture's creations designed by the great Christian Dior himself.

Olivia Palermo & her boyfriend Johannes Huebl. By S.




Olivia Palermo and Johannes Huebl are the perfect couple. Palermo, star of the hit show The City, is beautiful, rich and a heavy weight in the fashion & social scene. Huebl is a successful German model who became a household name when he started dating the stylish socialite. He has a good sense of style and killer blue eyes. 



A match made in heaven.


















They are international style icons and are considered one of the best-dressed couples in New York. They are photographed all over the world, but mostly in Brooklyn where they reside.












Palermo & Huebl are the power couple of the moment.



Could they be any more chic?!

Lana Del Rey rocks... By M.


She's always right on trend. Check out her tangerine lips and buttoned up shirt.


Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a killer body.


Love her nails!


The all-American girl.


Here she is looking comfortable in Converse & jeans.


She is extremely feminine, but with an edge.


She tends to wear her hair in a Rita Hayworth "Glenda" style.


Conquering the red carpet in a shimmering gown and a fabulous cape - two of the biggest trends in evening wear this season.


Lana Del Rey is an all-American composer, singer and model. Her real name is Elizabath Woolridge Grant and her stage name, Lana Del Rey, is a combination of the famous actress's name Lana Turner and the car Ford Del Rey. Her album Born to Die was launched in January 2012 and became an instant hit making her one of the music world's latest great discoveries. Apart from her music I have always been intrigued by her sense of style. She has a vintage look that no other Hollywood star has.
