What about: Lilly Pulitzer

Lillian Lee McKim (* 7. Juli 1931 in Roslyn, Long Island, New York) is an american fashion designer and the founder of Lilly Pulitzer. After her marriage with Peter Politzer she lived with him and their children on a citrus plantation in Palm Beach, Florida. There she designed her first dresses and called them "Classic Shift Dresses". One of her first famous customers had been Jaqueline Kennedy, first lady, who wore Lilly Pulitzer's first collection in the Life Magazine. That made her famous in the howl USA and was the beginning of her fashion empire. 1969 Lillian and her husband divorced and she married Enrique Rousseau. The brand is famous for it's colourful design and cute patterns.
Today the label Lilly Pulitzer produces clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, home accessoires and other things like agendas, iPhone cases, pencils....

The video shows how they paint a pattern for the current collection.

The seperation of Heidi Klum and Seal

Heidi Klum and Seal are seperated. Everybody knows. But just Heidi and Seal know why. Seal have been in diffferent talk shows after the seperation and took advantage of the attention to promote his new album. About that thing Heidi is very angry but both still wear their wedding rings. Heidi is now on the way to her casting show Germany's next Topmodel's Spin-offs. There, a juror told that she deals with this situation very proffesional and that she's very strong.
So, will they ever be a couple again?
Hope so,

Your daily fitness

If your day is packed with work, meetings and travel it's hard to stay in shape and eat healthy. A good solution is your "you can do it everywhere fitness". Simple and doesn't coast much time.
Here are the "exercises":
- when you brush your tooth than do knee-bends at the same time
- use the stairs instead of escalator and elevator
- go small distances instead of using subways and tramways
- if your way to work/supermarket etc. isn't that long than you can go by bike for one or two times a week
- go shopping to the mall instead of order your things in the internet
- when you are phoning with somebody than walk around instead of sitting on the couch
- at lunchtime don't eat in your office's cantine unhealthy food, take a little walk outside to an healthy restaurant (E.g. Dean and David)

Every step counts!

Good luck,

Chanel's haute couture show in Paris

Blue, blue in the sky
What a show at the haute couture fashion week opening in Paris. The by Karl Lagerfeld designed couture was shown in a virtual, coverted plane. Lagerfeld's collection is largely colored in different shades of blue but also some pieces of the Chanel couture are black, blue white or black white. The with teased hair models presented simple and even complex patterns, some of them were stiched on with gems others with sequins.
Overall it was a great show and I can say: Lagerfeld gave Chanel wings!

Colours of Spring and Summer 2012

Everybody is thinking about wich coulours are going to be THE colours of spring and summer 2012.
Last year bright red, yellow, orange, dark green and blue have been THE colours of 2011. The key word was strinking colour blocking with bright colours. Who hasn't seen people in orange chinos combined with blue tank tops and pink cardigans?
Color blocking is still gonna be a big thing. But this season with lighter, cautious and more shy colours. Girls and Women with light hair and skin will be happy, because they don't look so pale.
Rosé, light blue, lilac, grey, peach, camel, light green, mint and light yellow are going to be the most seen colours on fashion conscious people. Pastel is the topic! So come on and first buy pastel colored basic things, because they always going to be useful!!!
lilac and peach kisses,
