Frrry "Collapse 3-night"
A bag that collapses smoothly to a flat pack. It took a computer 3 days of calculations to come up with a pattern for the seams, so that they coordinate the process of collapsing. The beautiful thick leather makes sure you can use the bag for many years on end, and that it only becomes more beautiful over time.
Don’t be fooled by the name though. This bag is as good for the office as it is for a one-night trip.
currently retails for € 329.00

Varsity Jackets For Him And Her

I am on the verge of buying a varsity jacket... College cool seems to be picking up pace and we see pics of fashion fans wearing them more and more. Such as this gentlemen and Caroline from Stockholm Streetstyle (wearing her Isabel Marant version). Love the look. It brings a certain youthful vibe, of yesteryear where you were young, still rebellious, full of energy and the world of opportunities awaits you:-)

Ad Campaigns And Catalogues #214


Below: Jil Sander has done it yet again... charming all fans with gorgeous bags in the brightest hues and even flower prints for Fall Winter 2011... Love the new collection... what about you?


Below: These bags remind me of Cambridge Leather Satchels... I am into neon yellow colour now!


Below: Amazing colour blocking clutches...


Below: Pony hair, python skin... luxurious materials for Jil Sander's Fall Winter 2011 acessories collection...


Below: Interesting wedge boots to make gorgeous women even taller...:-P


Jil Sander Fall Winter 2011 Womens Bags, Shoes And Accessories


Colour blocking, flower prints and the brightest hues made Jil Sander the top trend maker for Spring Summer 2011. It seems the obsession with colours and interplay of natural inspired prints continues once again through to Fall Winter 2011.

Expect lots of colour blocking style bags, clutches and even shoes to colour up your winter wardrobes. The strong minimalist lines and aesthetics of Jil Sander is no longer confined to black, greys and whites. I love Raf Simon's bold exploration of colours (Orange, rouge and even noen yellow) for the otherwise very architectural and monochrome brand. The injection of flowery prints, but done with a more wintery feeling is welcoming to liven dull winter weather any day.

The popular Market bags also make a return, this time embellished with front pockets, exposed stiching or crafted from black flower print fabrics. Luxurious red python skins are also seen in gorgeous structured totes, while pony hair paneled on shoulder satchels. Materials are as varied as the colours, while retaining a strong sense of Jil Sander's modernity. Love them all!

Take your picks already... Jil Sander keeps getting better and better each season. It's the brand to watch out for again this coming Fall Winter 2011!

My Shopping Conquest #122


Below: The closest I will probably come to getting a 'tattoo'...:-P Love my new Louis Vuitton x Scott Campbell Spring Summer 2011 étole tattoo bleu. 'Chinese Mafia' LV style?


Below: One of the key pieces in LV's Spring Summer 2011 mens collection... the cotton stole is fabulous under blazers and sweaters!



Louis Vuitton x Scott Campbell Spring Summer 2011 Mens étole Tattoo Bleu

Louis Vuitton is the king of collaborations. You have to applaud Marc Jacobs for his unusually acute sense of successful collaborative projects with famous artists. From Murakami to Richard Prince, Rei Kawakubo and now for Spring Summer 2011... celebrity tattoo artist Scott Campbell. I am usually not a fan of tattoos. I can tolerate seeing them in small amounts on other people (gives them a cool edge I must say, when done right), but never on myself. I will just get tired of the design very soon and regret it for life:-(

But it was love at first sight for this Louis Vuitton x Scott Campbell Spring Summer 2011 Mens étole Tattoo Bleu after I first saw Bagaholicboy flaunt his on twitter. I immediately got smitten by Scott's highly original style! His work for LV is street vs. fine art vs. fashion... all done with lots of personality and attitude. What's more, the oriental theme motif is what I deemed a contemporary take on chinese mafia style, 'bad boy' cool anyone?:-P

I told myself I must track one down. The LV gods heard my wishes and and I managed to find the seasonal-release cotton stole at Ngee Ann City's LV store. Only 2 pieces were available... of course one came home with me. I grabbed at the chance to own this fashion piece cum collectible art:-) (My friend said Scott Campbell is going to get even more famous:-) So this might be a highly sought after collectible in the future.)

Below: Oriental dragons and tattoo style LV monogram flowers... a cool intepretation of contemporary body art... Scott Campbell's work is amazing!


The stole features subdued colours of pale blues, brown tones and greys with motifs of chinese dragons and a series of reinterpreted tattoo style LV monogram. I also love the extreme creasing which give the scarf a used and nonchalant look. Perfect to peek out from under your blazers and sweaters, definitely a conversational piece at events:-)

Below: Close-up look at the prints on the extreme creased stole... lovely colour combination!


Can't wait to head to cooler climates soon to put this stole to good use:-) It's been so long since LV has gotten my 'shopping adrenaline' pumping this much... Very pleased with my purchase and love Scott Campbell!
