Today I'm loving...

... this gorgeous tapestry and lace Dolce & Gabbana dress from their Fall 2012 line.

It can be seen in Dolce & Gabbana's ad campaign for Fall 2012 as well:

Today I'm loving...

... this gorgeous printed and strapless Etro dress.

I love the pattern, as well as the combination of pattern and strapless. Most strapless gowns are solids, after all, so a really elaborate pattern on a strapless dress is a sure way to stand out.

What I am doing right now...

I am on vacation!

Which means:

Sipping delicious fruit drinks and fruit coctails in the sun

Shopping (of course)

Lounging by the pool. And the sea!

Eating delicious things.

And a lot of spa treatments, since I am in South East Asia, where they really are experts on these things.

So even if I am not blogging, I am definitely fine! You might even say: Better than fine.

But you will probably hear from me more once all this pampering is over...

A new, studded purchase

I just got a very cool jacket, a black jacket with studded sleeves, from Mango.

It is no-where near cold enough to wear this jacket yet where I am, but it sure makes me look forward to fall a bit more!

I got my jacket in an actual Mango store, but the pics in this post are from ASOS, where you can buy the same jacket.

The perfect place to buy gifts online

When I used to live close to an Urban Outfitters store (I don't anymore, I am afraid), I must admit I bought quite a few things there, so I was thrilled to discover that Urban Outfitters actually have an online store that delivers worldwide recently, since it meant I got get back to checking out their absolutely charming selection on a regular basis, and actually get the things I liked again.

So when it was time for me to start looking for some presents for some upcoming birthdays, I of course decided to check their present section out. And I must say Urban Outfitters is absolutely great for this!

I won't reveal what I actually ended up getting, since at least one of the people I bought stuff for knows about this blog, so it might ruin the surprise for her, but some of the great presents you can get for someone over there include:

Anna Sui's absolutely gorgeous beauty accessories, like this brush stand

or why not a oil control paper box, filled with blotting papers?

A very chic door mat for any Francophile you may know.

and a very adorable cut lace vanity tray. (I actually want this really badly myself!)

So if you are looking for affordable, yet unique presents for someone, definitely check the Urban Outfitters online store out! It definitely helped me get all the presents I needed really fast!

Today I'm loving...

... the fact that Finnish brand Marimekko used older models (as well as regular ones, of course) in their fashion show at New York Fashion Week. This is Carmen Dell' Orifice who looks amazing, at age 81!

I love the fact that she was barefoot in a fashion show too, very charming!

Erin Fetherston's Spring 2013 collection. Great, timeless colors, wonderful detailing and the lovely mix of super light fabrics and hardware. One of her best collections ever, I would say!
