J'aime mon carré - Hermès

As if those supercute How To Tie-cards you get when you buy an Hermès-scarf weren't enough, now the French fashion house launched a great site (which reminds me of Burberry's Art of the Trench!), filled with street style photographs that make choosing the right fold for your look even harder.

I'm crazy for scarfs and I do have many different looks and styles when it comes to this accessory, however I should pick and wear my Hermès one more often... I'm sure jaimemoncarre.com will give me some inspiration for next fall.

Hermès

I don't know why, but I recently fell in love with the Hermès Collier de Chien-bracelet. And I'm not even a bracelet-kind of person. I did however wear such chunky, studded bracelets when I was younger, but I guess that subconsciously, I'm still not over that trend...

The black & zilver one for me, please... But then again, since the bracelet is so pricey, I'ld rather continue saving up for the new watch I've been lusting for for a while now... New watch >> a bracelet when you're not a bracelet-kind of person...

Edit: Hermès has created a paper DIY-version of the bracelet. Go to Hermès.com and visit/travel the 'world of Hermès' and download the pattern. Example. 

Chanel & Givenchy Beauty

Yesterday the shop assistant of our local beauty store was so kind to put aside one of Chanel's newest lipsticks, the Rouge Coco Mademoiselle. I'm getting this color, which Vanessa Paradis wears in the latest ad campaign, since it goes so very well with my skin tone. Pure red lipstick is too harsh on me during the day time. The Mademoiselle is more subtle for a day-look and very flattering. So I'm expecting a call in the next few days telling me I can go and pick it up.

However, I still do not understand why the shops only get 3 pieces of a lipstick that is featured in a global campaign. Same reason why I don't understand why all of a sudden Chanel considers its nail polish as super exclusive. Isn't non-exclusivity the main reason why big fashion houses picked up make-up and fragrances? So that they can earn big bucks on a group of people who would never buy a Chanel clothing piece or bag, so that they can feel as if the dream of rare luxury products is within reach?

Anyhow, I've spotted the latest Givenchy perfume print campaign in the store yesterday and I absolutely love it! The dramatic outfit and pose in contrast with the spring decor, I think it's one of the coolest things I've seen in the 'beauty department' lately. Out of curiosity, I tried on the Demoiselle perfume, but it isn't a scent I would wear. I'll just stick to my Terre d'Hermès.

Wishlist

Inspired by these top designer's wish lists, I decided to make my own, (subject to change).

Dear Santa,

I can honestly say that I've been a good girl this year (getting straight A's at school and trying to be kind to my friends and family and all...). So, in case you won the lottery this year, you can share the rest of your millions with all the other sweet boys and girls in the world, since the only thing I want for christmas is this:

Nicholas Kirkwood shoes / see my sister's post

In case you weren't that lucky this year, a bottle of Terre d'Hermès will do as well. Yes, I know it's a boy's scent. Yes, I know my boyfriend wears it too every winter. But every time I steal his perfume, girls ask me which scent I'm wearing. And, more importantly, it makes me think of him whenever he's not around. Many thanks, and happy holidays.
