Lambs Ears Shoes

Today I dream about replacing my entire shoe collection with these beauties :)

I was browsing through my favourite blogs and then I saw this post by Miss Moss and I just had to share it with you guys! There's not even one pair of shoes in the store that I wouldn't welcome into my wardrobe with open arms!

Lambs Ears Shoes is a store based in Seattle selling shoes and accessories from designers like A Detacher, Steven Allan, Plomo, Dieppa Restrepo and many others. I've been really bored with all my shoes lately, I don't like any of them anymore so I'm stuck in a pair of classic black ballerinas, luckily they look good with everything.

My favourite pair here are those amazing pointed slip-ons by A Detacher, they are just perfect! I've been thinking lately about my bad shoe choices, I used to buy crazy high heels that I would never wear or super unstable wedges which are now covered by a thick layer of dust, so it looks like I have a wardrobe full of shoes but really I have nothing to wear.

Now, I think that every woman needs a pair of comfortable loafers, flat leather sandals, classic brogues, a pair of ankle boots and maybe some chic heels (not 5" stilettos) and that's enough - five pairs instead of twenty and you have shoes for perfect occasion. Which pair you like the most?

Luxurious House in Djursholm

Today I dream about this amazing house located in Stockholm, Sweden.

Djursholm is one of four suburban districts of Stockholm and is a perfect location to buy a house but it's reserved only for the wealthiest as the property prices are among the most expensive in the country.

My obsession with all shades of white continues so when I spotted this house it was love at first sight :) Also, my love for Scandinavian design keeps getting stronger so the combination of white floorboards and white walls won my heart instantly!

If there's anything I would change about this house it's that I would prefer it to be a little bit smaller, it might sound crazy but I'm all about cosiness and comfort and not space :) I would also get rid of the gold touches, I know it's very classy and elegant but I'd chose something else instead.

The kitchen combined with the dining room is definitely my favourite part of the house and to me it's the most important part of every house because there's no better party than a kitchen party :) It's really perfect with the white units and marble counter tops combined with natural wood and lots of natural light coming from the garden.

Every room is really light and spacious but also very cosy and the house is still on the market here. The only minus is the price...

Edita Vilkeviciute in Twin Magazine

Today I dream about these beautiful shots of Edita Vilkeviciute by Ben Weller.

The pictures appear in the latest edition of Twin magazine which I recommend - it's a great source of inspiration!

Lately I've fallen in love with all shades of white so whenever I see a good totally white look I'm drooling :) It's the best colour for summer - really classy, clean and elegant. White looks as good in classic and smart sets as it does in looks with a sporty feel. I'm still dreaming about the amazing white peplum top by Celine - pure perfection!

Have a great weekend my dear readers and sorry for the lack of posts lately. I just started a new job but next week I promise to post more :)

Personal Style - Lucy Williams

Today I dream about the lovely Lucy Williams' personal style.

Lucy is a fashion and beauty assistant for Stylus.com and a fashion assistant at Instyle magazine. She also curates a blog called Fashion Me Now which is full of inspirations and features Lucy's fantastic outfits.

The first few pictures were captured by my favourite photographer, the super talented Vanessa Jackman (love her blog!) and they went straight into my 'I wanna wear that' folder :)

I love Lucy's style - it's so laid-back and effortlessly cool. She reminds me a little bit of Sienna Miller with her highlighted blond hair and statement hats plus she looks so likable :)

You can also follow Lucy on Pinterest here!

Spell & the Gypsy Collective Winter 2012 Sneak Peek

Today I dream about these mesmerising pictures which are a little sneak peek to the Winter 2012 collection by Spell & the Gypsy Collective.

I introduced you to the brand in one of my first ever posts (check it out here). Although the new boho/hippie and Native American inspired theme is not my style at all it always brings summer to my mind with all the festivals, beaches and crazy parties :)

If it's your style though, you have to check out brand creators Elisabeth and Isabella Briedis' blog called Spell & the Gypsy Collective which is an amazing source of inspiration.

The new lookbook "Storm Chaser" is actually just a sneak peek - I can't wait to see the whole Winter 2012 range. It features the beautiful model Jara and was photographed by Johnny Abegg and styled by the creative sisters.

I also added a few pictures from the Night of Hunters shoot which were taken on the way to the beach where the lookbook photoshoot took place. I'm in love with those amazing studded ombre boots!

Tata Naka Autumn/Winter 2012/13 Collection

Today I dream about the amazing A/W 2012 collection by Tata Naka.

I hope you remember my post about Tata Naka's Winter 2011 collection (check it out here). I was charmed with the very original and creative lookbook as well as the beautiful collection full of colourful prints and 50's glamour.

This time Tamara and Natasha Surguladze - the founders of the brand - were inspired by the music and styling of Motown and West African culture. Again, I'm so impressed with the lookbook - it's full of amazing graphic prints, vibrant colours, heavy embellishment and tribal motifs.

Although prints and bold colours combined together is not usually my style, I really love the creativity of the sisters and their ideas.

Personal Style - Meredith Melling Burke

Today I dream about Meredith Melling Burke's amazing personal style.

Meredith is a senior market editor of the American edition of Vogue so she doesn't only have a head for business but also a great fashion sense. Her style is very feminine and chic.

She usually chooses basic colours and combines them with wardrobe staples like a trench coat, white shirt or classic flares for a timeless and classy look.

She always looks elegant and chic but never over the top, to me she represents a truly American style with her long blonde hair and flawless skin with a hint of French effortless chic - just perfect!
