Safari Summer or Nothing!

You may think that safari patterns have been here for a long time. For sure they have, however they've never been so well made and well worn on the runways for summer before. Of course, you may find it ridiculous for all looks to be in one pattern, but here's where you will be able to find some great looks.

Purity has been found at MaxMara

This summer, the MaxMara woman goes intellectual and she wants to make a Safari in Africa. After all, she spends a lot for this country with all the money she's giving to philanthropic causes helping Africa, so it seems logical for her to go there once in her life. Then, as always, she's having great fun with her luxurious clothes, sometimes wearing jumpsuits or skirts with very feminine shirts, the whole time in Sahara or soil color. As she also becomes interested about the country, she knows that when it rains, it does a lot... so it's logical to bring a great coat, a master piece that gives a real tribute to the country itself.

'One, two, three not only you and me' at Emilio Pucci

The Pucci woman seems to have re-invented the three colours of the look. It's mostly white, beige and brown with yellow or green hints. Jumpsuits are her best friends, whether long or short. She's just having fun with this colors that go well with her tanned skin from the sun of the summer. If it is not to wear at work she mostly wears it on sundays when she's invited to a brunch on the Upper East Side or to a polo game at the luxurious Hamptons.

When you think about Safari, you think about Kenzo

Of course, what would be this post without the Kenzo woman? Well, she's completely crazy, in the best way. Anna Dello Russo wouldn't even have to mix Kenzo pieces with other brands to make these outfits, she can already easily have it all, just going to a Kenzo boutique. The patterns are big, the colors are bright and neon, but the shapes are casual and loose. The Kenzo woman may be a bit of a paradox and she isn't afraid to wear it every day. She's tropical every where, mostly on the subway!

New designers bring new concepts: the Safari mermaid from Anthony Vaccarello

The Anthony Vaccarello woman is a mermaid living in the night. She does not own that many clothes to go to work in so she prefers to live like a socialite, partying at each and every fashion event around. As she follows fashion she loves young designers, so she found Anthony who designed these amazing dresses for her with a big Safari inspiration. The shape doesn't change that much, but for her it's important to look similar every time as she wants to be easily recognisable. After all, you can't just live partying all of your life!

OLYMPIC FEVER: NAIL ART

With the olympics in full force, one thing that has certainly got my attention, other than the rather gorgeous divers, is the fever which seems to spreading globally: Olympic nail art! From the athlets and olympians to fans and fashion lovers, the trend of London 2012 nail art is everywhere.
 

That's all for now, but make sure to check out the massive summer giveaway on the post below, it's massive! Make sure to leave your comments on your opinions on this trend, have you done it yourself or seen others with it? Let me know.

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?

In That Polka Dot Bikini Gurrl..

Hello dolls. Cool title, I know, haha.

I don't know if you've already noticed but it looks like it's the first day of summer in Dollywood today. Alot of dolls are tanning at their private beach areas in their luxury Miama penthouses. I've been visiting a few suites and seeing all these summer outfits, but I'm focusing on the power of the bikini first and foremost! In my opinion, stardoll bikinis never look right, but as some of the hottest dolls around are wearing them, will it become a Dollywood trend?
