Oh my, time passes quickly these days. Rushing from one place to another, reading several books and texts on my exam topics, and not quite seeming to take it in. Luckily, now it is Easter, and I can catch up on some of the things that went behind. Just like this little blog. It is still my favourite hide-away from the dreary everyday world, and what could possibly be better than all these new beauties I have to show you?

I actually think, I have found the perfect red high heels! And I have been looking EVERYWHERE for a pair without irritating details or too low heel. But these could be the ones. The only concern I have is the colour. Whether it is slightly too salmon and not just red. What do you think?

Other than that, it just want to let Victoria Beckham know that I would very much like to switch closet with her (naturally in my imagination this involves a full army of fairies who can make all the garments into my size!). I am sure she could find one or two things she might like in MY closet, so she should just drop by really...

Ah well, one can dream right? But I do, especially about the dress and her bag. G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!!!!

Oh well, all for now. She you soon. Happy Easter Bunny kisses to you all!

Art inspired Advertising

Yesterday, I discovered these beautiful ad shots from Christian Louboutin's new Autumn/Winter collection via Fashionista and The Telegraph.

They are coining the old masters as well as the notion of Louboutin's work being thought of as works of art, and incorporating Louboutin's works into the art. Beautiful. Wouldn't mind having a pair myself - or one of the ads for that matter. I really like when both fashion and art work together like this. They enhance and compliments eachother. I wouldn't mind if more designers or companies thought in these lines. I think ads would become more appealing at least to me. And I can't see a downfall of distributing more awareness of great art - through museum or fashion advertising, it doesn't matter.. It makes the world a prettier place.

 Arrangement in Grey and Black: The Artist's Mother, by James McNeill Whistler, has been given a Louboutin makeover. Under photographer Peter Lipmann’s eye, instead of clutching a hankerchief, Whistler's Mother can be seen holding the fashion-forward ‘Tootsie’ ankle boot (£1,895), adorned with roccia leathers and studded piping.
