wear Summer, day and night

I have never been too fond of graphic prints on clothing. I always found them a bit tacky and I got easily tired of them. S/S10 has changed this for me thanks to the creations from the hands of Prada, Maison Martin Margiela and Christopher Kane (from his Cruise 2010). Their palm tree, beach landscape and sunset prints together with the general 60's vibe of the season are the perfect way to spice up short/t-shirt summer combinations. I am currently trying to get myself a Kane sunset tee, which one would you go for?

Net-A-Porter's 2010 resort press preview was all about sparkles, sequins and party dresses. Inside a really minimalistic white room with a geometrical fire place were displayed all the precious clutches, extravagant pieces of jewellery, shiny high-heels and amazing clothes. I didn't had any doubt about N-a-P's buyers' sense of style, but there were some pieces that were really mind-blowing!

Because of my lace obsession of the moment, I immediately fell in love with Stella Mcartney's black lace dress, which is the perfect chic cocktail dress for any occasion.

Another dress that cought my attention was the pyton printed silk dress from Acne. The shape and the fabric were just très jolie. It is the perfect playful evening dress for every party girl that wants to have fun.

Oh the jewellery! I am a big big fan because, like other accessories, they add that personal touch of style to every look! Isharya's gold cuff is the perfect buy —you can wear it with any look you want. It iss the perfect touch to a simple every day outfit with a pair of flared jeans, a white t-shirt and a Chanel-looking jacket; or to an evening black one-shoulder dress.

Already in my wish-list for next summer are the Lanvin's hilarious strawberry earring. They are perfection! Funny, colourful and edgy looking. For something a little more classic, the Missoni pendent earrings are also a great accessory for the upcoming season.

YSL's purple"Tribute" suede sadals were divine, just like any YSL shoe. They make a woman feel confident and sexy. And this new colour will look fabulous on a spring day.Are you searching for the ideal christmas gift for your fashionista friends? Well, Miss McCartney has the answer —seven days, seven pairs of knickers. Each drawer contains a pair of knickers with the day of the week embroidered in pastel colours. They come in black and white and they are almost sold out, so hurry!

After weeks that in fact seemed like years to me I have managed to put together a little post to let you know that soVIPzone is still alive. I have been finishing my course and doing an internship at Luella so I haven't had as much time as I need to update around here. And, quite honestly, I have not been that inspired as of late.

Cruise and I have a love-hate relationship. That pointless mid-season created for rich socialites is very pleasing because it eases the paint of not seeing new fashion for six months but can be highly disappointed, as designers do not actually try to push the boundaries further. However, I utterly loved Yves Saint-Laurent, Yigal Azrouël (which I am worshipping lately) and Christopher Kane, whose short but very imaginative collection has me day-dreaming.

Another something that made me happy this week was seeing Emma Watson looking flabbergasting in the adverts for Burberry A/W09. I mean, Christopher Bailey and Mario Testino? Let me quote the poet: "I die".
