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!

Amazing garden in Los Angeles

Today I dream about this enchanting place located in Los Angeles.

This amazing 1920s villa belongs to Richard Shapiro, an antiques dealer and designer of a home-furnishings line.

But this post is not about the house, this time it's all about the garden! Richard didn't want a typical LA style villa so he created something far more interesting - this fantastical garden surrounding the house! I think it's the most beautiful garden I've seen in a long time with the Roman columns, marble lions and tall ficus hedges. It has that mystery feel of a secret garden with all the labyrinths and ivy.

At the far end of the pool there's a full-scale replica of the portico of Andrea Palladio's Villa Chiericati. Palladio was an architect born in 1508 in the Republic of Venice, who is widely considered to be the most influential individual in the history of Western architecture. Truly magical!

Stefanel Spring/Summer 2012 Catalogue

Today I dream about the super cool S/S 2012 Stefanel catalogue.

I already wrote about the collection, which is definitely one of my favourites for the coming spring, check out my post here!

Now we can see the collection in everyday wear. It's very chic, relaxed and effortless - the perfect combination for Spring!

Spring forward! :)

Personal Style - Ezgi Kiramer

Today I dream about Ezgi Kiramer's amazing style!

Ezgi is a blogger, a personal shopper and a freelance stylist. She has been working with Lian Kebudi (who's also very chic, see her in the fourth picture) as personal shoppers for four years now - check out their website here!

They also work as freelance stylists and give seminars about image and styling. I love Ezgi's style because every time I see her she looks totally different. One day is classic Parisian chic, the other minimalism and the next it's prints and neon colours.

She plays with fashion in a very cool way, do you like her style?

Zara Woman April 2012 Lookbook

Today I dream about the new April lookbook by Zara.

Although I tell myself all the time not to shop at Zara because of the high prices and low quality fabrics, when I look at this lookbook I feel like I want to run to Zara right now and get everything featured here! :)

I can't find even one piece that I wouldn't like to welcome into my closet. All the pieces are simple, fresh, effortless and feminine - the perfect combination! I think that all the shades of white are the perfect colours for spring and summer, they look best with tanned skin though, which would be more difficult to achieve with my fair complexion...

This is definitely my favourite lookbook by Zara this year!
