A change on Yves Saint Laurent's creative site. Creative Director Stefano Pilati will go, that's sure. But who will be the new one? According to rumors and most likely it'll be Hedi Slimane,who has already been creative director for YSL in the nineties, because he's still known as "wonderboy" in the fashionworld after couple of years, that's why he changed the view of  men's fashion. Slimane made a men's clothes more attractive and useable, what made him so famous! An official confirmation we expect on March, 5th. , when the YSL-show  will take place on Paris Fashion Week.
Goodbye Stefano and welcome Hedi!

Alexa Chung for Superga

Who doesn't know Alexa Chung and who doesn't love her super cool and easy style. Super cool and easy style? This is absolutely that, what the italian brand "Superga" wants to show. The label is known for it's simple  but cool sneakers. But they never got that popular than the "Converse" chucks.

I always lost my barbie's shoes when I was a small girl. But Fabrizio Viti, a doll collector and Louis Vuitton's shoe style director, seems like he never lost a pair, because they inspired him for making a shoe collection out of it. Out of his around 500 dolls and his own taste for fashion Viti mixed a fantastic shoe line. First shown on "New Now", Louis Vuitton's online magazine.

Alexander W A N G/T S it crazy

The allrounder of the SS2012-fashion seems to be Alexander Wang! We could see on one runway so many different styles and trends and even just crazy connection of that trends for example black-white flower dresses  as motorcycle clothes. His effect was to let the brave flower dresses look more like fancy, cool rocker dresses. We also saw black velvet jackets, jumpsuits and short dresses in african-retro-chic patterns and black plastic skirts.Mr Wang suprises us from season to season and we are lucky to have him in this fabulous fashion-world to connect all cultures and turn everything cute into something cool. Thank you Alexander!

The both colours "Waterlily" and "Forget Me Not", out of the "Garden Party" collection, are super soft and creamy. The colour "Waterlily" also has some micro shimmers in it. I think they are defintely two of the most prettiest nail polish colours of Spring 2012. Got to love it!

New nailpolish in 2012: Chanel

Who doesn't love Chanel nail polish and who isn't exited when a new nail polish collection comes?
The new SS collection with the colours "April", "May" and "June" totally fits with the 2012 trend colours!
"April" is colored in a soft garnet, "May" in a shiny rosé and "June" in a cute light apricot. My favourites are "May" and "June" and I'm really looking forward to get one. Maybe I'll do a little review.

New trend: Anchors

Since Kate Moss has an anchor tatoo, anchors got more popular in the fashion world. But this year I saw in lots of campaigns sweet little anchors on the hands of models. Isn't that cute? For those who doesn't want to have a tatoo here is a simple DIY thing: buy a high quality, fine, waterproof pen and just paint your anchor on your hand/arm etc.
