Monday Muse: Ioana

Ioana, at Vogue Fashion Night Out, Paris, September 2011

This Monday's Muse happens to be one of the people that inspired me to start this amazing and interesting journey in the online world. Meet Ioana Liliana from Fashezine , a magic blog which I love visiting anytime. It's not only the flawless outfits and the impressive collection of shoes I love(you know me with my Miu Miu obsession!) , but also all the stories, the food journal and all the great tutorials and DIY posts. 

The photos are flawless, the design is so unique and Ioana is such a sweetheart when it comes to her readers.

 As for her style, she knows best how to mix feminine accents with pastel tones or interresting prints and she is one of the few people I've ever seen to rock white stockings. Each outfit tells a story , and, on top of that , decors are always breathtaking.

She is a Romanian blogger as well, and I'm really proud to see that we have so many talented people to stand up in the world wide fashion lately. She currently lives in Paris, so you have to check the details of the journey and the visual diary, too good to be true!

 Don't you just love her?

Monday Muse: Barbara Palvin

Barbara Palvin by Emma Tempest for Dansk A/W 2011.

If you are a fan/follower of my Tumblr I'm sure you must have noticed my constant posting of Barbara's work. She is my favorite model at the moment (but I still LOVE Abbey , remember?).

18 year old. Hungarian model. Been in Vogue , L'Officiel , is present at the fashion shows. She might be the next "it girl", at least considerring the trending on Tumblr.

"I want to be the best. I want to do all the shows"

-Barbara Palvin

PS: So so sorry for the lack of posts, again! I've been really sick , but I am better now and let me just tell you this: EXCITING CHANGES TO COME ON THE BLOG REALLY SOON!

Monday Muse: Abbey Lee Kershaw

Abbey Lee for Vogue Australia- March 2010

She's an Australian model, with amazing ice blue eyes. She has model friends all over the world , she thinks of her good friend Karl Lagerfeld as an "Einstein of high fashion".

That's right. Today was a big day. I redesigned the whole layout of the blog, made everything clean and bright. After postponing this column for months I finally brought myself to write about one my favourites models and this Monday's Muse , Abbey Lee Kershaw.

"I like my hands. They do most of the talking. "

                                            — Abbey Lee Kershaw

I guess what really surpised me in the first place was the fact that she looked equally extraordinary with blond, red, brown  hair, no matter how long or short. Heavy makeup or natural looks , she is always gorgeous. Professional? Of course! I love every single campaign or catwalk she rules, because she always become the character the designer visualizes.

Chanel- Cruise 2011

If you just have the patience to go through my archieve, you'll notice at least a phot of Abbey is in my inspiration posts.

As for her personal style, totally UNIQUE and BREATHTAKING! She's into boho chic, flowy materials,  faux fur, statement prints and funny sunglasses! She looks like an urban chic versatile godess and I made a selection of my favourites outfits:

I don't know about you, but I know at least 5 more looks where she is wearing these sunglasses! The coat is just fabulous and SO Abbey!

White Boho Fairy. Yet, she can't quit her statement coat and the gold and catchy heels.

Long dress, as she loves to wear. The coat is just the perfect splash of color and the bag is

eclectic.

Monday Muse/ Model Profile

I hope everyone had an amazing Easter! Sadly, there is school waiting for me so soon but that doesn't mean I shouldn't keep my columns updated. It's a lovely Monday and I feel my muse for today is...Sasha Pivovarova!

Her beauty is flawless, she is famous for being the image of Prada for 6 seasons but what really brought me into this? I received the April issue of Vogue Paris and she simply GLOWS in the "Green Girls" editorial. Also, Sasha has some strong oppinions in choosing her way of living , therefore she's been a vegetarian since she was 12! I found this quote which I simply had to share:

"Health & beauty is the same for me. If I'm not healthy, I'm not beautiful."

 Sasha Pivovarova

PS: Also, remember the visual diary she kept for Vogue Paris - which turned into a 6-pages spread? I previously wrote about it.

Monday Muse: Miuccia Prada

No need to say more about my Miu Miu obsession and praises about Prada's spring collection. Miuccia always knows how to reinvent the brand, and still keeping the same classical, unique Prada style.  She is truly an inspiration, a legendary fashion woman! It was so hard for me to even select a representative quote so I decided to post a couple of my favourites:

"In fashion you have to be creative every 5 minutes."

“Fashion is a quick answer to our life.” 

“What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today,
when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is an instant language.” 

“I don't belive in people who think that clothes are not important”

Monday Muse: Coco Rocha

"It took a while to grow the confidence to say, ‘This is who I am, take it or leave it.’  "

Monday Muse: Anna Dello Russo

With over 4000 pairs of shoes, and two appartments used as storage for her marvolous clothes, Vogue Nipon(Japon)'s fashion editor is also knows for the fact she changes her outfit three times a day!

"I don't want to be cool, I want to be fashion!"

Cannot sleep. It is, in theory, Monday already.

Meet Louise, also known as Miss Pandora . In fact, who doesn't know her??!! She is one of my favorites fashion bloggers. I just love EVERYTHING about her: amazing fashion style,  unique look, vision, best friend Alix, good taste in photgraphy and art. These glasses too... :)

What has always fascinated me though, was her hair. I'don't intend to dye mine, like NEVER, but if I did and if it had suited me I would have definetely chosen this color! DIVINE!

Do you have a/any muse/s? Who?
