Emma Watson for People's Tree

I'm totally loving EMMA WATSON in this photo shoot (and video) for People's Tree organic clothing brand spring 2011 campagin. It just feels so summery, casual and lazy, while it's still so chill outside my window right now. Like 30 Rock's Liz Lemon likes to say: "I want to go to there!"













You may see more of Emma's very own collection here http://www.peopletree.co.uk/category/emma-watson/girls.

Everything is repetition ... or reinvention?

That was exactly my thought when I first saw trailer for "RANGO." Johnny Depp ... as a lizard ... in the dessert ... wearing a Hawaiian shirt - that's like a full-on homage to Raoul Duke a.k.a. Hunter S. Thompson a.k.a. one of my favourite writers ever! And in fact ... I could easily imagine him being reborn as something like Rango. I'm sure he would have loved this character.

"Satellite" by Lelia Broussard

I discovered Lelia Broussard among 16 unsigned artists currently competing for the honour of being featured on the cover of the Rolling Stone (you can check them all out and vote here http://www.rollingstone.com/choosethecover). Her music is rather simple pop, but it's melodious and feathery light like a breeze of fresh air and her voice is pleasant and clear. And I also like that she doesn't have those typical model looks - a singer with a personality.

Style obsession: charm bracelets

CHARM BRACELETS is the old love of mine and one of my favourite accessories... Long before I became the slightly obsessive fashionista with a special passion for cool modern costume jewellery, I was totally in love with this charm bracelet a friend of mine had. I really wanted one too, but couldn't find anything quite similar to it. And then, finally, probably around four or five years ago I stumbled upon this one while visiting a friend in Hamburg. I cannot express my delight when I first saw the bracelet as well as the price which proved so affordable, I didn't need to give it a second thought. Since then I have worn it so often that almost a third of its "lucky charms" came off and were lost but I'm still fond of it:



Now this is a much more recent purchase - I got it this fall at STRADIVARIUS in ATHENS. At the store the two bracelets were wrapped together so tightly it made them look like one heavy rock-chic bracelet. I didn't realize I actually got two bracelets until I got home!

Finally this precious little thing arrived in the mail from Amazon just a couple of weeks ago as a PRESENT for my birthday from my Ukrainian girls! I was more than pleasantly surprised. Finally someone knew exactly what to get me (honestly it doesn't happen that often). This charm bracelet is less bulky than the others, but it's also real SILVER. It proved so very shiny for my poor old camera, that I failed to make a really decent photo of it no matter how much I tried - believe it or not, this is the best I managed (I know I need to work on my photography skills).



Since my collection is quite small so far, below I enclose pics of other original and gorgeous charm bracelets I stumbled upon online - I would love to get them all!

DSquared2 fall/winter collection is True Grit-inspired

I was just thinking that I totally forgot to include "TRUE GRIT" in my Go Wild West post, when DSQUARED2 presented its fall/winter 2011-12 collection, with models looking like they walked right out of this Oscar-nominated epic cowboy drama. Like all of the best COEN films "True Grit" is all about real places and real people, and DSquared2 fully carried its spirit. Their version of the wild west chic takes the cliche pop-culture cowboys in tartan shirts and pointed boots completely out of the picture, replacing them with moody dwellers of the harsh land, whose clothing protects them from rough weather during day and keeps them warm when sleeping under open skies at night. Those outfits simply emanate comfort and confidence - just what we need for the cold days in the city.

Christina Hendricks to model Vivienne Westwood's jewelry

Gorgeous redhead and “Mad Men” star Christina Hendricks became the new face ofVivienne Westwood’s palladium jewelry collection called “Get a Life.” In the latest photo shoot she shows off adorable headdresses and necklaces as well as her own famous curves. Working on the collection Westwood was inspired by nature and pagan symbols.

Speaking of her model choice Dame Vivienne called Christina the embodiment of beauty and added that: “Her style is just so complimentary to my designs. She has proved to be perfect model for the campaign.”

We’ll she’s certainly right – Hendricks is so alluring in this photos, I just can't take my eyes off her!
