Tinute pentru banchet

Spre surprinderea mea, cand mi-am verificat mesajele primite de pe blog, am descoperit multe intrebari venite de la fetele care se pregatesc pentru banchet si care mi-au propus sa le dau cateva idei. Ajutata de minunatul site polyvore m-am jucat putin si am creat cateva tinute, care sper sa fie cat de cat inspirationale.
Pentru iubitoarele de vintage - o rochie dantelata, pantofi cu barete si open toe, cercei fluturasi si geanta brodata cu trandafiri.

Rochia alba are un model simplu, parul este usor buclat si impodobit cu o bentita cu margele, sandalele gladiator sunt foarte la moda.

Fusta cu volane si talie inalta este asortata cu o simpla camasa alba, care cu siguranta se gaseste in garderoba oricui. Ca sa nu arate, totusi, banal sau office trebuie un clutch mai deosebit. Oja rosie este clasica si eleganta.

Rochiile cu flori merg foarte bine cu platforme. Pentru ca imprimeul este bogat nu trebuie sa fie prea accesorizata.

O tinuta pentru fetele care nu sunt obisnuite cu tocurile, ideala pentru cele cu picioare lungi sau subtiri. Fundita balerinilor da un aer de delicatele, iar oja neagra si bratara unul sofisticat.

Damas launches Botania watches by Sarcar

May 27, 2008 (UAE)

Damas, leading retailer of stylish watches and jewellery in the Middle East, has unfurled the scintillating collection of Botania watches by Sarcar on the occasion of its 60th anniversary this year.

Founded in 1948, the brand has used the most precious materials such as gold, precious stones, natural mother-of-pearl, gold or pavé dials.

It is through the inventiveness and originality of its models (particularly the Solitaire and its rotating diamond) that Sarcar has earned the loyalty of customers wishing to live in step with the times and to assert their own image through the personalised choice of an exquisitely crafted model reflecting their desire for innovation and creativity.

Beautiful and bright the Botania watches are both, a tribute to the art and science of watchmaking, a field that the Swiss brand has excelled in over the years.

The Botania collection offers art of the finest kind in bewitching aura that instantly transports you to a walk in the woods or garden bursting with blooms.

Framed by a circle of brilliants each of these flower portraits pays fitting tribute to Sarcar's genius and status as an authentic creator of dreams.

Tawhid Abdullah, Managing Director of Damas, said: “In 1972, when Carlo Sarzano, founder of the Geneva watch manufacturer Sarcar, stated how important it was “to be large enough to be strong… and small enough to be free”, he could not have imagined that he was dictating a line of conduct on which his company’s enduring success was to be built.

A watch built around the calibre

May 27, 2008 (UAE)

One of the most coveted Swiss watch brands, HAUTLENCE, has taken the watchmaking world by storm because of its advanced technology and authentic craftsmanship. The brand’s manufacturing procedures are unique and it is passionately crafted.

HAUTLENCE came into being due to the combined initiative of Renaud de Retz, Guillaume Tetu, with Jean Plazenet, Jean-Christophe Chopin and Alain de Forges.

These enthusiasts joined forces, sharing their rich entrepreneurial and industrial experiences, and developed products that conform to a shared philosophy of watchmaking.

Neuchâtel, the historic capital of watch making, has a tradition of precision and innovation. In its constant search for identity and performance, the new brand decided to unite its destiny with the capital by taking an anagram of Neuchâtel for its name – HAUTLENCE.

HAUTLENCE is a unique brand. From concept, to production stage, the partners work in close association with craftsmen who share their commitment for excellence, turning their dream into reality by creating a truly new jewel.

The trust and friendship they maintain with these craftsmen is not limited to those who work on the initial stages of HAUTLENCE watches.

It extends to their distribution channel – which is very selective, sales (having the best watch representatives worldwide) and to clients with whom the brand has a direct relationship, who wish to share their watch making values.

Sen and the city New York premiere

Cele patru doamne au lansat, in sfarsit, si la New York, "Sex and the city: the movie". Cum era de asteptat, toata atentia s-a indreptat asupra tinutelor lor, toata lumea avand asteptari mari de al ele, pentru ca filmul este unul cult pentru pasionatii de moda.
Trei dintre ele au purtat rochii metalice - Sarah Jessica Parker a stralucit in Nina Ricci, Kristin Davis a purtat Donna Karan, Kim Kattrall a ales, ca si la premiera din Londra, o rochie Vivienne Westwood. Cynthia Nixon a optat pentru o rochita alba semnata Narciso Rodriguez.

Fusta cu talie inalta

Scurte, lungi, ample, cu volane, bandage, fustele cu talie inalta au inceput sa-si faca intrarea inca din vara trecuta, iar acum sunt must-have, urasc cuvantul asta, dar altul n-am gasit. Asta imi aduce aminte de un editorial al lui Dobrovolschi din "J'adore" in care povestea discutia dintre doua fete, ceva de genul - "fataaaaaaaaa, trebuie sa-l am, fataaaaaa, e mast heeeeeeeeeeev." Oricum, ideea este ca porti ceva DOAR DACA TI SE POTRIVESTE, NU PENTRU CA E LA MODA. Mai multe am scris aici

La musique que j'adore

I love David Guetta, baby! Daca are cineva, din intamplare acest mix din Red Light Paris, 2006, in format mp3, sa-mi dea un mesaj. Mersi anticipat.

Celebritati cu genti Chanel

In blogul lui de pe fashionandbeauty, Ovidiu Buta scrie:
"Vineri seara- fashion party. 18 genti Chanel.

Sambata- lansare- 9 genti Chanel.

Sambata seara- party- 24 de genti Chanel.

Duminica seara- lanasare- 6 genti Chanel.

Mici sau mari, vintage sau noi noute, sport sau clasice, din textil sau piele, purtate pe un umar sau pe diagonala sa se vada cat mai bine lantul metalic, negre sau colorate...

Chanel este noul Hermes."
Orice vedeta care se respecta poseda cel putin o geanta Chanel. Dar, chiar daca preturile acesteia pornesc de la 1000$, poate mai putin pe ebay, si persoanele obisnuite fac adevarate pasiuni pentru celebra geanta. Regina 07, membra Purse forum are o impresionanta colectie de 65 de "Chanel goodies" - citeste aici.
Nu este o simpla geanta, ci un simbol, al luxului, al statutului social, al casei Chanel. Creata in luna februarie a anului 1955, de unde si denumirea de 2.55, a devenit o clasica si se afla in randul gentilor "it", adica a celor mai cautate si dorite.
