Fall's Favorites.

My favorite fall 2011 advertorials, in no particular order.

Ondria Hardin ♥,  Dorte Limkilde (And some others, not in these shots), shot by Meisel.

Prada, because it makes me want to dress up in a coat, wear my sunglasses and move in slowmotion.

Carola Remer, shot by Inez & Vinoodh.

Ports 1961, because Carola is perfect and it makes me wish I lookd this great in mature clothes.

Via.

Mariacarla Boscono (And others, not in these pictures), shot by Mert & Marcus.

Givenchy because these pictures confirmed the fact that I like the combination of Asia&Europe (Like Chinese food, just 500m from your house. Lovely.)

And of course, because these images are so 'fierce'.

Via.

Juju Ivanyuk, shot by Cedric Buchet.

Elie Saab because I love to-the-neck splits, and Juju shows us the only right way to live in a dress with this feature. 

Via.

Arizona Muse, shot by Glen Luchford.

Alberta Ferretti because when I trip I never look this classy.

Daria Strokaus (And others, not in these pictures), shot by Willy Vanderperre.

Jil Sander because the pattern on the jumper is mesmerizing. No other words appropriate.

Aline Weber, shot by Alasdair McLellan.

Derek Lam because it's a little kitchy and it makes me want to walk in a really clean city, wearing a wool coat, perfect pantalon and ankleboots like in Derek's show. Inspiring.

Via.

Which shows and prints did you like?

Stars

I tried to copy a runwaylook. I failed at finding a matching purse. (And I hate hats, so I didn't look for a hat, haha)

(And damn, ties are expensive! I mean 2cm of fabric for €20,-?)

Topshop, WE (man), H&M (man), H&M, Zara, Vila (Via Wehkamp), Manfield.

I realized I actualy liked the tacky, boyish, 80-ish, snooker-ish collection of Dolce&Gabanna fw'11. I wish brogues looked cool on me.

€245,-, via Net-a-porter. I mean: Since when do I admire sparkly pants?

And those earrings are too cute.

€216,79 via Net-a-porter.

I need new shoes, what kind of shoes should I buy?

Leather, Nutella and a new header.

Another 'NEED!' this fall: Leather, and particularly a leather skirt.

Tomboy-vintage-y on the left, Buisiness-ladylike on the right.

Skirt by Jason Wu.

Topshop, Marni, Reed Krakoff, Topshop.

Lanvin, Topshop, H&M (Cuff), Alexander Wang, Miu Miu.

I'll just type the recipe here.

Makes 8-10 Cake Roll Lady Finger Nutella Muffins.

• 3 Eggs
• 65g Sugar
• 80g Cake flour
• 20g Butter, melted
• 40g Nutella
• 9 30g Melted chocolate
• 2-3 Drops vanilla extract
• 35-50 lady fingers
• 30-100g melted chocolate
• Whipped cream

The cake

Sift cake flour and put baking parchment on a baking tray, ±25x30cm (Or even better; a Swiss roll tray).

Mix eggs and sugar for 7-10mins, make sure there are no air-bubbles in it anymore.

Add baking powder in three separate additions, use a spatula. Don’t deflate the batter.

Add melted butter and vanilla extract, fold with the spatula until it’s well blended.

Bake for 10-15mins, make sure the batter won’t get too dry. Use a skewer to check if the cake is done. If it comes out clean, your cake is good.

Remove the sponge cake from the tray, keep the parchment underneath the cake.

Cover the sponge cake with a towel or a plastic bag to keep it moist and let it cool down.

Remove the parchment and put the cake on a new parchment, putting the side with the ‘crust’ down. Spread with 40gNutella, or 30gmelted chocolate.

Roll the cake by lifting up the parchment, Place the rolled cake seam-side down.

The lay-out. (You can also buy a ready-to-eat cake roll and save tons of time.)

Slice the cake in pieces of ±3cm. And put one of them on a clean piece of baking parchment.

Melt the chocolate and dip ½ of the lady fingers in it. Use the rest of the melted chocolate to spread the outside of the cake roll and place the lady fingers against it.

Use a spatula to remove the cake with the lady fingers from the parchment, so the chocolate spill that comes dripping underneath the lady fingers won’t come with the cake. Serve with Whipped cream, ice cream or leftover melted chocolate on top.

And for the banner, I used:

A: Camilla Skovgaard heels, Miu Miu boots, Cutler and Gross glasses, Nixon watch.

D: Givenchy heels, Marni broche, Isabel Marant feather earrings, Monica Vinader earrings.

H: Miu Miu belt, Alexander Wang boots, YSL earrings, Tory Burch flats.

I hope you like it.

Fall in love with fall in love with fall.

I hate creating titles.

In the next weeks I'm going to tell you what fall pieces you must own (or you must die.) and create two outfits with them.

This week: The cape/poncho.

One in minimal 70's, the other in countryside 70's.

Yves Saint Laurent cape.

Omega, Delfina Delettrez, Bally, Calvin Klein, Tod's.

Marc by Marc Jacobs, Miu Miu, Alexander McQueen, Chloé, Falke, Alexander McQueen.

And a new model, which I'll call Miranda for no reason. With an outfit and with a close-up of the boots.

I don't like the way the blue turned out, but whatever. (:

Saturdays

Most of the time I read 'Saturndays'

Also amazing.

Anyways, a new WOO.

M.L. H&M, T.B. Topshop, A.H. T.L.A.S.

The sources are aboce. Simple outfits with an cardigan I'm obsessed with atm.

And, the new Vuitton ad, shot by Steven Meisel.

It's so wrong it's right.

That was my day, folkies.

Mirte and Chocolatemilk

Mirte Maas, Backstage at Stella McCatrney Fall2012

I Hate, hate, hate drawing ears. 

My nails. I know there's white polish on my skin, but that comes of after a minute or so and I was too lazy to wait with the picture.

I used 'Safari' #56 (White)

HEMA Top Coat #07 (Transparent)

Maybelline New York Sable Rosé #778 (Chocolatemilk)

It's one of these weeks...

My head is empty. Sorry sweethearts.

Decided to make a dramatic outfit with some of the best collections from this fall.

It's hard to find nice sunglasses in fall shows.

Same source.

I think I'll stop this weeks WOO. I'm annoyed I can't get good outfits out of it.

I Hate Stripes...

Actually, I don't, but my new Week.Of.Outfits (Which is too long to write, so it'll be WOO) is annoyingly difficult.

And two drawings I made:

(Drawed in Real Life, coloured with Gimp.)

(My take on Prada Fall2011, Miu Miu Fall2011, Daphne G. Backstage at Versace Summer2011 (But she doesn't look like Daphne at all...)

I Hate Titles...

I never know a good one.

Today, I'll post Thursday and Friday, 'cause yesterday (Thursday) I posted Wednesday. Haha.

H&M, Other clothes.

An outfit. Miu Miu Fall'11 + Givenchy Fall"11 + Versace Summer"11.

And that in a sort of orange(as requested)ish yellow pattern.

New model too.

The sky is...

Awesome blue fw11/12 coats. Source

Copy-and-paste-thingy.

The Green Is Cool

I know PFW isn't finished yet, but I already made a favorites collage.

Turned out to be this:

Clockwise: My #2 Collection this season I think. Panthers and violets, Love that combination. (Not that you can see that in my favorite look, but whatever. The green is cool.)

I NEED AN AWESOME HAIR-ACCESOIRY!

Need too-cool-to-touch loafers.

Need too-grown-up-to-touch heels.

Balmain's perfect jeweled jumper/sweater. The cosiest piece of clothing meets the most glamourous look.

It's weird, I do maybe think this season's Chanel show is in my top 10, or even top 7 or 5 of this seasons shows. I love the moodier Chanel shows. And these boots are F to-the-you-get-it awesome.

You can't see the image anymore, cause it's hidden behind Hanne Gaby and the Chanel shoe, but it's a fabulous clutch.

I need to combine a colourblock-skirt with a wool sweater/jumper.

Now it's getting summer I want winter clothes.

Looking forward to McQueen.

My Day Today

Hmm, Forget the title, I'm not feeling great today.

I'll post what I did today.

Via Models' MDX.

Images by Vogue UK, Compilation by me.

Drooling over Pugh's new collection.

OMG. HE USED COLOUR. (Photos of this phenomenom not included, I feel a little awkard to Pugh using colors.) BLUE NAILS. AWESOME EYEPATCH-THINGS-MAKE-UP. KIND-OF-AMERICAN-PRO-BOZER-MEETS-ARABIAN-DESERT-MAN-MEETS-LADY-GAGA. AND THOSE BLACK STRAPPY BOOTS. And all of that in capital letters.

Drooling over this piece of look 6 from the Marni fw11/12 collection.

I wish the skirt was black-white instead of white-black. I tried to do so with editing the picture, but it looks weird. (': (I was the one who wrote 'Marni' in a weird handwriting.) images by Vogue UK.

Drooling over today's Daily Duo: Swanny Visser.

Dutch. Again.

I don't know if I like her or lover her. She looks bright and sweet and French in some way.

Drooling over this photo.

Looking this pretty and inspiring when you're making that face is mesmerizing.

Coco at the Mugler show. (With Gaga. Omg.)

There were 'wow'-looks, but also a lot of 'ehrmm....'-looks.

Drawing a weird outfit.

Ruffle-bottom-top with half-sheer arms. (Inspired by Jil Sander ss"11/Miu Miu fw"11/12)

Weird striped shorts.

Visible seem pantyhose.

Plexiglass bangles & Brooches.

 

Blues.

Yeah. Most of the fall11/12 shows are disappointing. Maybe I'll understand them later.

For now, my three favorites this far. (With exception of the Rodarte jumper, I realise) .

Source, Source, Source.

(?, Jac Jagaciak (?), Valerija Kelava)

First did them on paper, then coloured with Gimp. I think I like the effect.
