Britney is back

The pop princess, Miss Britney Spears, is back in business. Arata mai bine ca niciodata, primul single de pe albumul pe care il va lansa pe 2 decembrie este pe primele locuri in topuri, apare pe copertele a doua reviste importante - Rolling Stones si Glamour si asta este doar inceputul.
Mai putin laudabil este faptul ca i-a copiat Madonnei tinuta de scena pana in cele mai mici detalii.

Sister store to Men's favorite Odin, Pas de Deux is a beautiful boutique filled with high end designers...so no need to deal with Upper East side or meat market madness to find the perfect gift with a certain je ne sais quoi.
Amy + Natalie - shopgirls...recommend the following gift ideas

Winter white ornaments of feathers, acorns and origami are delicately made from bone china.

Keep track of your cash in a fantastic Commes des Garcons wallet -silver and black shown but they have a broad selection of colors and styles.

You can find Pas de Deux in NYC at 328 E. 11th Street -right next to Odin...so send your significant other to whichever is appropriate.

Celebritatile aprind luminile de Craciun

Marile orase au intrat deja in atmosfera sarbatorilor de iarna. Vitrinele magazinelor au inceput sa fie ornate inca din octombrie cu aranjamente luminoase, Mos Craciuni, reni si alte elemente specifice sezonului de iarna.
Onoarea aprinderii luminilor festive a revenit celebritatilor care s-au remarcat in acest an: Marion Cotillard, castigatoare a Premiului Oscar, cuplului Nicole Richie-Joel Madden, proaspat numit ambasador al Bunavointei pentru UNICEF, formatiei Sugababes, care a implinit 10 ani de activitate. Stella a organizat traditionala petrecere la boutique-ul ei din Londra, iar Karl Lagerfeld a inaugurat sezonul oficial de cumpărături de Crăciun.
Designerul de la Chanel a creat o papusa, "La Marionnette Coco", care este expusa in vitrinele magazinului Printemps de pe bulevardul Hausmann. Acestea evoca o gradina onirica populata cu plante si flori neobisnuite si care invita la visare si evadare din cotidian. Karl Lagerfeld a inaugurat vitrinele "Visul cosmic" si a deshis oficial sezonul de shopping pentru sarbatori.


Aprinderea luminitelor decorative la magazinul Stella McCartney este in fiecare an o sarbatoare la care sunt invitati prietenii si clientii fideli. Nu au lipsit Kate Moss si fiica ei Lila Grace, tatal Stellei, sir Paul McCartney, comedianul Peter Kay si un Mos Craciun orchestra care canta la mai multe instrumente.



Cuplul Nicole Richie si Joel Madden au aprins uriasul fulg de zapada UNICEF si 20 de candelabre de Baccarat pe Rodeo Drive, bulevard supranumit Mecca al impatimitilor dupa cumparaturi.
Nicole a ales o rochie din satin albastru, vintage Yves Saint Laurent, pantofi peep toe Christian Louboutin si colier din colectia ei de bijuterii in colaborare cu Mouawad care se va lansa luna viitoare si pe care a numit-o House of Harlow 1960.

Traditia aprinderii decoratiunilor luminoase pe celebrul bulevard Champs-Elysées dateaza din 1981. Acestea de intind pe o distanta de vreo 2 kilometri si impodobesc 415 arbori. Actrita Marion Cotillard a apasat butonul care a iluminat Parisul. Poate mai putin placut este faptul ca sunt aceleasi ca in 2007.
Coincidenta sau nu, Marion a purtat un mantou Chanel asa cum a facut si Vanessa Paradis anul trecut.


Englezii stiu ca nu mai este mult pana la venirea Craciunului cand se aprind luminitele pe Oxford street. Anul acesta fetele de la Sugababes au "pushed the button". Cele trei fete au ales sa-si sublinieza talia - Heidi a pus o curea neagra peste trenciul albastru in stil military, Amelle a optat pentru o curea cu o catarama mare si aurie, ca sa adauge putina culoare outfitului all black, iar Keisha pentru una simpla peste mantoul clasic.

It's that time of year...

while the rest of the world might look to NYC for the parade, my favorite part of Thanksgiving weekend is the unveiling of the holiday windows in the major department stores.
This mannequin was at Bergdorf's which has amazing windows as usual. What's unique this year is that many of the mannequins in their display are vintage and have a madly appropriate melancholy air despite the gorgeous items in the windows...

Fashion Trends For Autumn-Winter 2008/2009

For Autumn-Winter Bulgarian fashion houses offer a big variety of colors and models of coats that are in accordance with the world fashion trends for the season. The black is seen rarely, the trendy colors are red, blue, lilac, fuxia, green and white, that remind of the summer and create elegant look and spirit. The coats are garnished with embroideries and flowers, outer seams, attractive collars and sleeves that create a fresh appearance. Some models look like dresses with many inverted pleats and frills on the sleeves.

The lengths of the coats vary from about the waist to the knee. The belt is almost obligatory accessory for the outerwear this season.


Coats in white are favored by many designers and fashion houses this season.

Following the world trends some designers use large collars and 3/4 bell sleeves.

If despite the variety you do not find the desired vision, you can order a designer coat after an individual project. Such services are offered by the designer of Astella Alya Milusheva. She offers her own models as well as sketches and fabrics of Valentino and Ungaro.
The designer coats borrow elements from the formal dresses and do not economize fabrics and decorations - the natural wool is beautifully complemented with lace and satin, Swarovski crystals shine from the cuffs.

Still in: leggings

Din lycra, latex si, mai nou, cei luciosi, wet look, colantii se poarta in continuare, iar celebritatile sunt innebunite dupa ei. Nebunia a inceput acum cateva sezoane si continua sa reziste in tendintele cele mai hot si in preferintele vedetelor de la Hollywood. Alegerea cromatica cea mai des intalnita: negrul.
Colantii din latex sau cei luciosi sunt foarte potriviti pentru un stil rock, glam rock sau sexy.
Dezavantaj: nu complimenteaza siluetele plinute, asortati necorespunzator arata vulgar, ieftin.
