Wicked-Weasel...That's All I Can Say!

OK, I'm going to risk a little porno-post right now. For those of you who don't know the Wicked-Weasel brand, they specialize in making micro-bikinis. Yes, MICRO!

As in small, tinny, almost invisible, almost not there!!! I don't really like them, but somehow they fascinate me. Why would people pay good money for something that couldn't even cover a fist!

But, summer is here. The sun is up...and no area on your body shouldn't get a tan!But, I like the name: Wicked Weasel! So, for more smallness, take a look at the site!

A Love Affair With the Pink Panther!

Yep, that's what's going on between ICB girls and the ever so popular feline! Oh, this according to their add!
Even so, the love seems to be in the air. And who can resist a cute pink tom-cat?! So, when falling in love with fictional cartoon characters, pleas wear ICB. Oh, let me rephrase that: when falling in love with fictional cartoon characters you are most surely wearing ICB, because ICB "Girls Love the Pink Panther"...All this Pink Panther love got me thinking: I also must be a ICB girl!!!

A Little Color...

...from a true color professional! That pro being Louise Markey (designer for LF Markey).

The color combinations are fantastic, electric, but at the same time chill and soft (just like in a painting). That's exactly why the Tudor influence is more then obvious (in the style of the clothes, in the colors used and in the photo shoot approach).
All in one, the result is fantastic!

A Redhead on the Milky Way

A photo shoot from 2005, but still, so actual! Starting from the red hair (yes, yes ... I like!!!) and finishing with the ever so popular doll look.
And as far as Lily Cole (British model and actress) goes, well she is gorgeous and freaky at the same time! Her beauty is not ordinary, but is a kind of beauty that keeps obsessing you long after you shut-down your computer!
Uff...I just adore the freshness of it all! What can I say? It's a redhead melting on the Milky Way!From: Haut Fashion

Just Too Cool to Resist!

You know me, I go cu-cu for cartoony fashion. So you can just imagine how happy I was to come across this funny photo-trend-analysis by the one and only Jill Sherman (Trend de la Creme).
Pfff...what else can I say? Enjoy a good laugh!So, do you agree that for this Autumn season designers got their inspiration from Peanuts? :))

Surfin' on Painted Waves 2

A dress that I made for one of my favorite clients! The best thing about her is that she leaves me free hand in modifying the design in order to best fit her! It's great when such a great connection exists!
So, here it is, I'm shearing!

The Young Generation

I came across this video on Octavian Coifan's blog (one of my favorite fashion blogs, that I recommend to all of you, but unfortunately is just in Romanian). Anyways, I just love it and it gives a great perspective on future fashion.
Enjoy!

In the Heat of the Summer

So, I just finished a few dresses and I thought I should share them with you. Made from light, dreamy fabrics, the dresses are great for a heated summer in the city!

1. Summer Heat:Color: patterned fabric (on choice, maybe a different one)
Size: M (on request, other sizes)
Price: 250 RON

2. Late Summer Evening: A vary simple, but comfortable dress, great for those lazy summer afternoons. The contrast between the color of the dress (coral) and the blue from underneath it, gives an electric effect.
Color: coral with blue
Size: M (on request, other sizes)
Price: 250 RON

3. C-trough Surprise: Don't panic! You won't get the dress without anything on the inside. That part, will be a simple dress, in the color of your choice ( I recommend blue), but I decided to leave it like this in the photo, because I think it will go great on the beach, with just a swimming suite under. Also, I can duplicate the fabric (like in dress no.2), but that will cost extra.
Color: coral
Size: M (on request, other sizes)
Price: 250 RON (if duplicated, 300 RON)

More to come!
