I promised to write about a company called ROCOCO to their most enthousiastic, hardcore fan.....

"Eat, sleep and create", that's what this Belgian production company (based in Antwerp) does. They produce commercials, music videos ( like this one for The Broken Glass Heroes), shortfilms and television. 

(Directors: Inti Calfat, Isaac E. Gozin, Raf Roosens and Cecilia Verheyden), also known for camping in front of Steven Spielbergs mansion in L.A. and stalking him for an interview......

Please check out their amazing previews from the visuals for the "Charlemagne Orchestra" .... beautifull scenes for Sorrowfull songs on rococo.be

Schoolgirl fashion

Belgian photographer WILLY VANDERPERRE (studied in Antwerp, ...), admired for his level of creativity and considered one of the most influential men's photographers of his generation (campaigns for Calvin Klein, Perry Ellis, Azzaro, Raf Simons ....) proved allready that his talent goes way beyond men's fashion.  His latest editorial for Vogue China is just cooler then cool.

Embrace the fun of charming schoolgirl fashion ( only charming when you don't go to school anymore), your essentials: pigtails, knee-high socks, Mary-Janes, baby-doll dresses, schoolbag.... showing just an ounce of skin ....

or schoolboy fashion ? Hm, I'm not so sure ....(alltough I normally do like uniforms).

Enjoy your monday darlings xoxo

Transformation time

Ten street artists ( Céline Quadri, Yummy industries, Daim, Pius Portmann, Donovan&Onun, Blackyard, Nevercrew, Michel FV., Suhibamboo, Wes 21) transformed Zurich's station hall into a public art studio where they painted , sprayed, styled a Volvo S 60 over and over again, as well as a canvas background.  No more words needed here, check out this amazing art project ! 

Pimp up your car and have a springfull weekend ! xoxo

Yellow in the air

Cure your winterblues with season hottest new color (and with the amazing Celine handbag) : yes, it's yellow ! ( Sorry mom, she believes wearing yellow brings bad luck...)  And not only canary yellow but even fluorescent yellow, there is a shade of yellow for everyone...so get out and shine on ! 

Look how Olivia Palermo shines in this bright yellow maxi dress for Tibi's spring 2011 campaign. You can't deny it, it's everywhere around you ...

Not only will you make a statement,  you will also be protected from traffic accidents because everybody will notice you .....

How about some yellow shoes ?
Hmm, Balenciaga's spring 2011 sneakers anyone ?

Have a happy week full of yellow ! xoxo

Stylish weekend

We started our weekend in style at the party of the multitalented Elena Barenghi in Brussels at her stunning B&B. Think understated chic with beautifull accessories (even the black cat on the white sofa looked stylish.....) and design classics. In this striking interior (in a beautifull art nouveau building) the artistic crowd enjoyed the performance of the Belgian Band "Makemake" in a relaxed and light-filled atmosphere... (Listen to their demo on http://www.vi.be/MAKEMAKE)

On sunday we headed to Tessenderlo where we enjoyed a cute fashionshow at the sharp but yet feminine multibrandshop "Smitstudio" (Diesterstraat 47, 3980 Tessenderlo).  Cool and easy to wear seemed to be their moto and everybody enjoyed the show ....and the mood . In a mixture of inexpensive things and high-end pieces every guest could find something (jeans for me). Belgian brands like Sofie d'Hoore, A.F.Vandevorst, Annemie Verbeke, Just in case but also Paul&Joe, Diesel black gold ....) . Just swing by and go take a look ...

Guests were well taken care off, with food, drinks and make-up sessions by "Makeup forever".

Yeah ! It's Springtime !
