Diane Kruger Pulls Off Chanel Resort 2013

I admit when I first saw the Chanel Resort 2013 collection, I was shocked by the "Marie Antoinette meets denim and wears sneakers" awfulness. Looking more carefully at the collection, I could find

some few nice wearable dresses, so I thought Karl Lagerfeld would get away with it and celebrities who appreciate themself would never think about wearing one of those looks. My prediction dashed when

Diane Kruger wore a structured dress from this collection for the Chanel Haute Couture AW/13 show. She went further and managed to look amazing pairing it with a black beret and studded flats.

Sunglasses Lust: Anna-Karin Karlsson

As one fashion editor recently said: "I love them, I love them and I won't return them".

Swedish eyewear designer Anna-Karin Karlsson is one to remember. She recognises her

fascination for sunglasses started as a child, but it wasn't until she tried on a pair of Christian
Roth sunglasses that this fascination developed into a true passion. She designs exclusive eyewear
for Royals -Sultans, Princesses, Kings, Lords, Dukes-, fashionistas -the Anna Molinari girls

shop for sunglasses to fit their new outfits-, pop stars like Rihanna and also mere mortals.

Her collections are unique and fun, the perfect accesory to make a summer dress outfit look distinct.

That 70's Shot

70's were a long time ago. And judging by this picture, a long long time ago.

Could you have identified Karl Lagerfeld in that thick bearded young man?

Did the black and white stopped you from recognising pretty flame haired Grace Coddington?

Pieces To Steal From the Menswear Fashion Weeks

Boyfriend jeans, oversized shirts and tshirts, jackets when we're cold, even ties and bowties sometimes!

As if us girls didn't have enough fashion choices, we still persist on borrowing clothes from the men in our life. It's an uncontrollable urge to assault their wardrobes and try on anything that looks like it could fit.

That's the same feeling I have experimented watching the Menswear shows presented these past weeks. And even tough they were Spring/Summer collections, outerwear has been the most coveted part.
