Love is in the Hair!

Apart from the usual "Best Wishes", what is the next word you'll say to your hairdresser on the 2nd of January 2009? Is it a) A Bob b) A Pixie C) A Fringe P.L.E.A.S.E.? And if you have long hair, would you like to go through 2009 as a Milkmaid or rather as a Mermaid???

Anyway,all of these great haircuts cry for a Laloul hairpin: flowers or butterflies,your choice,they're both in the fashion (h)air anyway!

The Washing List: Anne-Marie Herckes

The Washing List
--------------------------
Name: ANNE-MARIE HERCKES

Current or finished projects I am super proud of:

Having started my own label and making collaborations with the Museum for Modern Arts, Missoni or Colette x GAP

Home: Luxembourg-City
In my country/city where I live :

1. My fav. Bar: Déqlic
2. My fav. Museum : Musee d`Art Moderne Grand Duc Jean
3. My fav. Drink: Mojito

X-Ray

1. The bubblegum taste I wouldn’t mind being kissed with is the Big Red from Wirgleys.
2. I cried buckets watching Philadelphia.
3. The fashion trend I’d rather die than wear is the Slim Jeans.
4. I’d love to exchange wardrobes with Victoria Beckham, but just for her Hermes-bag-collection!!!!!!!!
5. The perfect Holiday spot to me is anywhere near water.
6. When I was 18 I thought I’d become a Fashiondesigner.
7. Tom is the name of the guy I first fell madly in love with. The last time I saw him, he was working in the post office!
8. The daily routine thing I really enjoy is having a cup of coffee over some gossip magazines.
9. I’d love to have dinner with Karl Lagerfeld.
10. I mumbled a thank you and forced a polite smile when I received a carnivore-plant for my birthday!
11. The basic must have I‘d buy a 1000 of are longsleeves in all colours by American Apparel.

I’d wear my favourite Patent Leather Bow Necklace aka The Cherry accessory on it.

So the story goes: Mrs Beckham hasn't noticed the Carnivorous plant as she's too busy thinking whether the black Anne-Marie Herckes matches her pink Hermes bag. The girls from American Apparel however feel there's trouble in the air and Mr Lagerfeld saw that guy coming from miles & is off to "Le Rocher" seeking refuge at the Grimaldi's. How will this end? Let's hope there's no blood involved... to be continued...

Birds of a Feather

For all you Angels out there: here comes the feather! Thank you Mr McQueen for rubbing it in our faces with this totally amazing dress! The more discrete types certainly won't be against wearing the greyish super elegant Fendi one and gorgeous matching black bag & why not...bring in the Dior escarpins! Yes, it are diamonds you see underneath the heel. You either squeeze your toes into them or put them in your Fendi bag to hand them over as a "caution" in case your Visa let's you down in some fancy place. We have a weak spot for the Rosa Luccia Charms with feather. They are so lovely AND we think we can almost confirm nobody got killed or hurt here. (Click on the pics to go to the product sheet!)

do the sox in shoe!!!

Our dearest friend Silvia came to visit with the coolest silver sox in her NDC stiletto sandals! We loved it! Dries Van Noten launched it earlier this year and it's a super idea to add some humour to your outfit and to wear your summershoes in wintertime. Big wool colorful sox, or thin lurex with a pinch of disco-style... It's a DO!! Do the sox-in-shoe!
