TOO LATE STARDOLL?

Okay, actually the title is just to introduce an item I love and have been waiting for since... few months!

I'm talking about the Shark Tooth Necklace released at starplaza sooner today. We all know the Givenchy one, right? If not, just look at this picture, you might recognize it.

Oh, who's the model? Erin Wasson!

She rocks at the Givenchy fashion show!

So, yes the stardoll version is this one:

Great, no? I personally love it, and this time stardoll made it well. And I love this kind of necklace. It's new, and the fact that is a necklace also shows a paradox. It's classic, eccentric, but it's just a necklace, so people won't really mind.

But looking at my agenda of trends by a french girl, me, I remember about this Vogue Paris issue;

If you wonder, "Avril" means April. So don't you think it's too late as trend? Of course that there are 2 collections every year, not 4... But if it's in fashion in Spring, then why did Stardoll released it in Summer?

Anyway, that's the Stardoll logic and I can't say anything, because I'm still really happy to finally have it. Don't we say : "Better late than never"?... But still, I hope they won't make a Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Acne, Alexander McQueen.... Tribute store when we'll all be dead, because that would be too late!

Find it at the Bonjour Bizou store for 7sd.

P.S. Here is how I wear it:

Comments? Like the necklace?

Number 13

This cover came as a lightning from a nowadays so vague fashion heaven. Only yesterday we could admire beautiful Thomas Sottong on the cover of the latest issue of Acne Paper - No. 13. AP is known for its thimatical issues, and for this time a theme which is a constant part of our lives, unlike the issue before this one's youth-theme, was picked - the body. 

This is what editor in chief, Thomas Persson, says about this issue: “We were interested in looking at the body from an artistic angle, one that is broader than the general representation of the human form in magazines today. I find that we are so obsessed with modern, rather boring beauty ideals, the perfectly chiseled, impersonal bodies often lacking in humanity, history, and a life lived. So we wanted to look at the human form as an inspiration beyond that.”

A few weeks back we were all presented to the A/W 2012 collection of Acne. Strange proportions, new shapes and vivid colours were the leading factors of it. In fact, these factors were all influenced below one main influence - the body. Acnestudios are certainly under inspiration of our anatomy. Let's see what that leads to in the future, shall we?

But back to the magazine. The cover was shot by Julia Hetta and the entire issue can be sneaked on here. Personally I find Acne Paper to be one of few refreshing stick ups in an otherwise so mainstreamed range of fashion magazines. What do you think?
