do you believe in second life?

Levi's does!!! Jeans almost have their own life cycles that never end...They are worn happily after being born, worn, worn, ripped, but still worn...worn out but still worn cause it's in style and the more vintage jeans become, the more value they get. But there is sometime that they really can't live with you forever. At some point, your mum attacks your wardrobe while you're out and turns your favorite pair of jeans to a pair of shorts...Then you keep on wearing them at the beach until there is a unlivable hole on it. Then you can turn it to a bag, like Levi's does... They are turning worn-out jeans into new shoes and accessories. For a pair of shoes like below, two pairs of jeans are used. Remember, since Levi's uses second hand jeans, they are all different than eachother which means that all shoes are individual. The range which is called "Another Life' also includes belts and baseball caps, all made from used Levi's Jeans.

ripped jeans

In recent years, we have all been wearing the simpliest jean styles ever. The most important issue to care would be the fit and wash would be in the second place- if possible not washed at all...Even raw denim styles were so hip that admirers would even not to dare to wash them for ever...Here we go, trend is upside and down, as "usual". If celebrities wear, you know that it's just a a matter time for us to have the same trend in our wardobes;)

Summer is coming...it's time to change our soul.
Here are the new fragrances for 2009 Summer.

Calvin Klein CK IN2U Heat

Christian Dior Miss Dior Cherie L'Eau, Philosophy Unconditional Love

Christian Dior launched Miss Dior Chérie L'Eau, a new flanker to 2005's Miss Dior Chérie, on March.



The new fragrance for women is meant to be fresh and uncomplicated, and is aimed at a modern young woman; it is a lighter version of the original Miss Dior Chérie scent featuring notes of orange bigarade, gardenia and white musk.



Paco Rabanne 1 Million



1 Million was inspired by Rabanne's metallic fashions, and in particular a 1967 dress worn by singer Françoise Hardy. The fragrance was developed by perfumers Christophe Raynaud, Olivier Pescheux and Michel Girard, and features notes of fragrance include grapefruit, mint, blood orange, rose, cinnamon, spice notes, blond leather, white woods, amber and patchouli.



Versace Versense



The fragrance Versace Versense is composed of natural tones and it is a picture of awakening of nature, evoking feeling of freedom, movement and balance of internal energy with surroundings and nature. Versense is a walk in a fragrant garden, which contributes to freshness and a stream of feelings, as well as to self-esteem and vitality.



Vera Wang Look



Judging by the notes description it seems to combine very young feel (lychee, Golden delicious apple) with a more sophisticated base leading it in the direction of a fruity-floral chypre with a youthful edge.



Anna Sui Live Your Dream



The fragrance notes include lily of the valley, waterflower accord, white pepper, sheer jasmine, Bulgarian rose, teak wood, musks, tonka bean, cedar and sandalwood.



Gucci Flora



The new floral fragrance features notes of citrus, peony, rose, osmanthus, sandalwood and patchouli.



Halle by Halle Berry



This what Halle Berry had to say about her new Fragrance,

“Before this fragrance I was mixing other brands that shall remain nameless to make my own scent with fig and mimosa. With Halle, I added olibanum, which is an African root, which brings spice to the fragrance, and sandalwood, which smooths everything out and makes it yummy. It’s very sensual, very natural, very much reflective of the outdoors.”

Halle Berry was spotted making a visit to a friend around Hollywood Hills recently. No matter how casual and easy going her style looks, she is still sexy and chic. Her top would be a great item for hot summer days, it just looks very very easy going.

Jude Law for Dunhill

Jude Law is once more posing for Dunhill for their Spring Summer 2009 collection. I absolutely believe that he well represents the brand and its image with his calm and classy look. The collection is simple with neutral colors. It seems that Dunhill man is very keen on his personal space since this theme is pretty much underlined in the campaign. Otherwise what's wrong with Jude if he turns back to these people in the background, especially to the pretty ones? Is he depressed or does he run away and do these people follow him non-stop?

do you dear to wear?

I am still someone who wears normal high heel shoes, sneakers or flats...Am I out of fashion or am I just normal? I still have to figure out that while looking at these models...

Is this from an Utopian world or what? I am still trying to get used to the fact that some designers came with this crazy idea of heel-less shoes to torture fashion crazes and some desperate fashion followers ( including Mrs Beckham) adobted this idea too quick in the name of being a " fashion icon". Now are we even being pushed to wear shoes those are actually not shoes. I mean functionally not shoes but look like shoes...If you are a princess, and don't even have to touch the ground, fine your feet will be OK ( provided that you never have to go to public bathrooms as well). Aminaka Wilmont design from her Spring 2009 collection is just beyond limits.
These Ferragamo heels look probably the most normal pieces among the others- this would probably be what you'd think until I tell you guys that heels were made of gold. I mean, gold...
True, a very spring inspired design from Scherer Gonzales for Spring 2009. Who will maintain the fresh orchids all the time though?

Supermodel Heidi Klum is posing with Alexander McQueen thigh-high boots which are probably as tall as myself! At least they have heels and you don't have to try to keep your balance like the high heel-less shoes, that's something :P
Beyoncé with YSL Tribute Double Platform Heels in New York. I would probably manage to have only few steps with them before falling down...Should looking tall feel so much painful like this?

Givenchy Fall-Winter 2009 -2010 shoes

Here is a sneak peak form Givenchy's Fall-Winter 2009-2010 shoes. Looking at these models, the image drawn in my head is such a hot and tough woman who is sure of what she is doing. Don't get me wrong though, I am one of them who wouldn't spend a fortune just to buy one of these pairs ( this kind of grunge, kind of wild woman image is not me at all) , however they definitely create a strong woman image in my head. Obviously, it will be another feathery year with the team of gloves and shoes. For the ones who like this style...

pale spring

We knew that the romance of pink and pale would surround us in the garden of roses coming spring. We just predicted this to have happened only in the women's world, though. One, because romance is a part of the womansoul; two, because you can hardly ever succeed in finding a man who wills to wear pink. That was until seeing GQ Russia's editorial though...Never say never, and everything changes even the water of the river that you took shower in. Although men can wear pink,you'd better be careful about the tone of the pink.

These romantic and chic looks in GQ Russia, give men good style-tips about being chic, casual and elegant at the same time. Combined with pale and neutral colors, used with grey tones, pink can add a chic edge to the look as well as still being masculine. Idea is brilliant because it somehow reminds men to buy a bunch of flowers on the way home ;)

Elegant B&W

They are young and belong to the models of new generation...Siri Tollerod, Magdalena Frackowiak and Heidi Mount who posed for Numero's latest issue, look very classy and vintage in B&W shots. The contrasts between the space and the subject, the choice of hair and clothing, light games make these photos really special. Photographs were taken by Sebastion Kim.
