The Kooples S/S 2012 Collection

Today I dream about the amazing new Spring/Summer 2012 collection by The Kooples.

I don't have to introduce you to this fantastic french brand as I've already showed you their Autumn/Winter 2011 collection here.

Last time Alexander, Laurent and Raphael Elicha - the founders of the brand - charmed me with their dandy and rebellious but always perfectly tailored pieces and this time I'm even more impressed! The collection is full of delicate and feminine pastel and nude shades with added pops of rich colour. It's very sophisticated and elegant but in a slouchy and effortless kind of way.

What I like the most about The Kooples are their campaigns featuring real life couples wearing the label - I wish I could see such stylish couples on the streets more!

Here's some of my favourite looks from the lookbook but make sure to check out the whole collection here!

Rustic House With a Touch of Pink

Today I dream about this dreamy rustic house located in Spain.

From the first glance I had a feeling that I could live in this house :) It's so cosy, natural and filled with feminine touches. I love the combination of white walls with blue-grey shutters against the natural stone wall.

What charmed me the most in this house are the bedrooms; I normally don't like pink colour in the house and opt for the sometimes boring all-white version. In this interior though, thanks to the lovely combination of other colours and textures the pink touches look really adorable and sweet - but just the perfect amount of sweet :)

Looks like a perfect summer house and I really, really can't wait 'til summer!

Pink, it's not even a question :)

Maurie and Eve Autumn 2012 Collection

Today I dream about Maurie and Eve's beautiful Autumn 2012 collection.

I've already introduced you to this great Australian brand and their Winter 2011 collection (check out my post here).

This time Kelly Davies, Maya Clemmensen and Scott Davies - the design trio behind Maurie & Eve - prepared something equally cool and stylish. It seems like the paisley print is making a big comeback, I've already seen it in few other collections as well as on the high street (I'm currently obsessed with this Zara shirt).

What's more I like about this collection is the slouchy silhouettes, nice and clean shapes and the basic colour palette which makes a great background for all the prints. Although it's an autumn collection, I think it would be just perfect for the summer too - check out the rest of it here!

Deco Spring/Summer 2012 Campaign

Today I dream about the amazing Spring/Summer 2012 campaign from Deco featuring the beautiful Constance Jablonski.

Despite the presence of the most popular trends shown here - sporty silhouettes with the jumpsuit and a sleeveless jacket, peplum top and dress and pastel or sorbet colours which remind me of Philip Lim's Spring 2012 collection; the collection is not overpowered by them.

It's very feminine and perfect for someone my age (much closer to 30s than 20s). All the looks are elegant, simple and sophisticated - I love it!

Also check out the gorgeous video for the collection here!

My Blog's 1st Birthday!

As today is my blog's first birthday, I can't tell you my dream as it might not become true ;)

During my amazing first year of blogging I've written 273 posts and over 75,000 of you have read them and almost 900 left a comment :)

There was good weeks when I would write a post every day and bad weeks when there was almost nothing new so I wish for an infinite source of inspiration for myself!

Thanks to my blog I've met a lot of great creative people with passion not only for fashion :) Thank you all for visiting my blog and for all the support you've given me this year!

Cinemagraph

Today I dream about these amazing moving pictures by Cinemagraph.

Cinemagraph was created by a visual graphics artist, Kevin Burg and a photographer, Jamie Beck. Cinemagraphs are something between a photo and a video, for me it's a perfect way to capture a special moment.

You may say that animated gifs have been around for ages but Kevin and Jamie took them to a whole new level. The movement is very gentle and subtle which creates a truly magical feeling. Often only a small, focused area of the image contains any motion leading the eye towards certain areas of the picture.

Have a look at these beautiful cinemagraphs featuring Coco Rocha, Katie Emilio's designs (check out my post here) and some shots of New York which I think are my favourites.

Also, check out Jamie's awesome Tumblr here! I think that these might be huge in the fashion industry!
