will you be mine?
I know that question above sounds very naive but I want these grey- blue grey boots so much. It's exactly like the style I've been looking for with the buckles and everything. But how about these contrasting exposed zippers in black color on the back? That's something above my expectations but just adorable...Answer is Steve Madden, I don't remember the question since I saw these boots:0
A Design Collaboration of Jeffrey Campbell and A LookBook.nu User
What's dude above got to with below boots? How about him being the designer of them? That sounds good news because it means all most any of us have the chance to be able to work with a designer on a project like that. Of course, you have to be on top of your goals, work hard and be creative. Needsupply.com conducted a contest on LOOKBOOK.nu and 29 years old Dennis R. was the winner who had the chance of working with Jeffrey Campbell to design below boots. Dennis shared the grand prize with Emily with his lookbook called "Diamonds are not just a girl's best friend" . This is actually an interesting combination of fancy jacket with all diamonds and such casual and worn out boots. How about Emily? Just visit her look and decide yourself.

Punctirus Jewellery
This is an interesting idea of having a necklace and a bracelet like a punctirus. It looks nice a way but it's still a bit bizarre to me because it reminds me those plastic bags having the same symbol which means to be cut from the line. Are we supposed to cut the body part or what? If you are interested in it anyway, there is the adress for you.

Skin by Chanel
Ryan McSorley designed a product which is called "Skin by Chanel" that has interesting concept. Make up is probably one of the unique areas that we don't (or are not able to) show off the brand we use. His concept is interesting also because of showing where this brand awareness could go to.
Here is his describtion of his design:
"The skincare market is growing year after year. We see more and more skincare procedures, products and brands becoming available to us, and we are under constant pressure to look younger than we are. Where does it stop? And what does the future look like for skin?
Bernadette Wegenstein, in her book Getting under the Skin: Body and Media Theory, puts it like this, ‘In cosmetics, just as in the figurative arts, the skin has become a detached commodity. Marketers think about it in absolute, abstract and detached terms.’ Our own skin has become a material ans surface which is open to creative reworking.
As with mass-produced commodity products, skin is a means for individual expression- we want to be different and set ourselves apart from the masses. Just as we can define ourselves through the brands of clothing we wear, or the brand of mobile phone we have, we can now define ourselves by the brand of skincare product we use. If you are using skincare by Chanel, you want people to know that your skin is by Chanel, in the same way that Chanel handbags have clear branding, why shouldn’t our skin.
Considering this idea of branding skin, I have designed a beauty kit for Chanel. I chose Chanel due to it’s strong logo and brand history, and the fact that it is a high end brand. The packaging is manufactured in Corian, giving a smooth finish, and the organic and pebble like form is intended to reflect our obsession with perfection, especially when it comes to our faces. The kit is used at night before sleeping and includes a Cleanser, Toner and Moisturiser. There is also a headband in the kit, which is tied around the head and worn while sleeping. There is a silicone ‘Chanel logo’ on the underside of the headband which during the night leaves an imprint of the Chanel logo on the skin, which is visible for a few hours. People can then clearly see that the owner uses Chanel Skincare and not some other brand. Their skin has been branded Chanel… the ultimate fashion accessory you might say!?"

Trend Alert: Ripped Top
After ripped jeans, ripped tops are coming for the summer! That's no matter back or front side of top is ripped. Most preffered side is usually back of the top. I find this style is good. But you must be careful, when you wear. If you don't have a good body, it'll be a disasster:) As usual celebrities started to apply this style on their tops...Here is Miley Cyrus. She is one of the fashion victims. Look at her back. Miley's revealing cobweb style top looked as though it had been ripped too shreds from behind.It's too much and there is no mystery.
If you wanna try this style,you can find two different alternatives from Oonagh below. Oonagh retails for $58 - $178, and debuts this Spring at Nanette's boutiques.
