without a doubt my favorite designer at the moment, dries van noten's fw 2012

dries hasn't stopped being awesome. the best bits of beautiful spring 2012. i've been looking for a dropped waist dress (like in the pictures 3 & 4) but haven't found the perfect one.. perhaps i'll need to wait for these to hit the stores. something super bright would pop up from my mostly dark wardrobe though. if you run into any, please let me know!

monday's wishlist:




i'm going to blow all extras today on a 2 week holiday in thailand islands so goodbye dries's and balenciaga's for a while - perfect time for wishlists instead. oh and yes HELLO SANTA! 1. both dries van noten 2. balenciaga + versace for h&m (men).

are you familiar with LN-CC, a new London-based store and webstore (they carry mens + womens clothing, books and music). do check their webstore HERE, they even have a sale still going on.

the following pictures of dries van noten AW11 details are from LN-CC fb page.

absolutely loved dries van noten fall collection. the patterns feel a bit vintage-y, but in a good way. also as with proenza's fall collection i can't wait to see either the pieces in person or see some closeups.

i'm head over heels in love with my new dries van noten jeans (from nina's)! spring i'm calling youuuuu

two looks from ss2010 collections, dries and chloë. i'm actually going crazy over the crazy-ethic dries one minus the shoes. same goes with the other one actually. the loose look is good but there's no point going all hippie, you know. btw, loving karlie's hair!! i can't tell if it's the lights or is there a little gradient going on?

i've been inspired among other things

yesterday i was visiting nina's (lovely small boutique in helsinki) and got inspired by dries van noten ss09. and almost bought new shoes with the most beautiful wooden heels, maybe i'll go try them once more..
