Spring may come

please, please. I want to wear all those beautiful dresses, skirts and tops by Vanessa Bruno. I really love her designs. The Spring collection shows lots of pastel colors and sheer fabrics; reminds me so much of a flower field in the middle of a forrest. Very fairy tale like!

New dress

Today, I had an exam and that's what I wore for it. It was all sunny out today and quite warm, so felt like wearing my new flowery dress. Can't wait for spring and summer, though, to wear it paired with gladiator sandals!

Boring Sunday

I just came from my boyfriend like that this morning and spent the rest o my studying for my exam tomorrow...

Thank you Karl

I finally got a chance to look at the couture shows and I'm pretty much loving the Chanel collection. Not all of it but most. Especially the simpler designs caught my eye whereas the pieces he showed at the end were a bit too overladden at times. I do love the beautifully draped mini skirts and that the models exclusively wore ballet flats. And this is Chanel, not like SS 08 prêt-à-porter.

Glasses

The Sartorialist is in Paris and pleases us with great pics of great people there. This girl is just amazing, she's dressed so simple, yet the outfit is very appealing and she pulls those glasses off very well!

Swiss Guard

There are not a lot of internationally known swiss models. Maybe you've heard of Nadine Strittmatter and Patricia Schmid, but that's probably about it. There are some young models with a lot of potential though and it makes me happy to see that swiss models are beginning to succed in the model buisness.

So here some great swiss models.

Spring

This morning when I left home the sun and the air were like in spring. And I realized how much I long for spring to come. I love spring and summer, nothing better there.

And here are parts of my fashion wishes for spring (maybe I have to go to London during my vacation)

Pumps: Topshop
Shirt: Topshop
Bag: Vanessa Bruno
Shades: Ray Ban
Scarf: Lala Berlin (unaffordable though)

The bag

I still owe Fruchtzwerg the contents of my bag. So here they are. I usually cary not much with me.

Purse by Becksöndergaard
Cell phone by Motorola
Organizer by Bookbinders Design
Lipstick by MAC
Gloves by Gestutz
File
Water Bottle

Shiny happy people

I finally got the AA Lamé Leggins in black. I was debating for like ages whether to buy them or not, figuring I wouldn't be courageous enough to wear them and not having proper pieces to combine them with. When I finally decided to get them, they weren't available in my size at AA, so I had to wait and wait and wait...but now the're mine and I'm lovin them. Funny, how people can stare at you though and reactions were quite split, people either hate or love them it seems...

News in Swiss Fashion

In Zurich a new label has opened it's doors. Emilie George opened up a showroom at Dolderstrasse 4 where she presents her first collection for Spring/Summer 08. Emilie has worked as a costume designer for theater before but now designs for all the women out there. Her collection is made of wunderful flowing and dainty dresses, tops and skirts.

The Queen

Not me of course. I went to see Elizabeth today, though, and have to say I really liked the movie and Cate Blanchett is just such a magnificent actress (yeah, well, you might already know by now that I adore this woman)!

Me again

Like this I was in the library today, studying for my exam tomorrow...I'm a little bored by my wardrobe at the moment, especially that I only have one winter coat. I've been looking all fall and winter for a nice grey one but couldn't find one and since H&M here didn't get the cute Trend coat in grey (only black) I'm still searching.

Toujours Toi

Toujours Toi is the jewelry line by Nina Egli. Nina originally is from Zurich, but later studied acting at the Lee Strasberg Institute and now lives in Brooklyn, New York. There she designs her delightfull jewelry. The collections addressing different themes are often colorfull and playfull and at times a bit kitschy but always special and, above all, awesome.

Here some of my favorites

And here a small preview to Nina's new collection "Helter Skelter" for SS08

In Zurich the pieces are available at Dings and Erbudak, but you can as well order them on Nina's webpage Nina's Webpage direkt

Elizabeth-The Golden Age

Playing now in Switzerland and one of the movies I have to see in the next couple of weeks. First, it's starring Cate Blanchett, second there are going to be great costumes and third I like historic movies, so I'm looking forward to it!
