Well October has been incredible busy and adventurous month. So "pinta" November, too.
Starting with a very nice trip to London, visiting my friend Cvet and also meeting old friends I hadn't seen in some time
Next Monday 1st nov, Fashion's night in will be the digital equivalent of Fashion's night out when compared to the first one - going out and shopping late, all fashionistas and shopaholics can find the best offers from retailers online, getting super discounts and prizes and free shipping for 1 hour for london-based shoppers, launch of new collections, gifts and surprises by collaborations with NET-A-PORTER.COM, MATCHESFASHION.COM, TOPSHOP.COM, MY-WARDROBE.COM, SELFRIDGES. COM, O BROWNSFASHION.COM.
The event is organized by Vogue...stay tuned and stay IN!
I am fascinated by the perfection in the way the house of Gucci has presented the 2011 Cruise Collection pieces in this teaser video.
Here's how they describe the collection itself:
Gucci Cruise collection 2011, a modernist travel statement, with easy sophistication as its leitmotif.
Stylish travel has always inspired the House of Gucci since it was founded in 1921, and so this theme is further explored in its latest Cruise Collection for 2011. With an elegant voyage very much in mind, Creative Director Frida Giannini interprets the contemporary female wardrobe with faultless nonchalance, alternating between an edgy chic urban attitude and an ultra glamorous spirit.
We totally agree!!!
Big ups and a little more patience to see it in stores!
And don't forget the cruiser bicycle...I'm personally still dying for it!

I have apparently lived on another planet for discovering so late this amazing eyewear brand with long and significant history....
Claire Goldsmith is the greatgranddaughter of one of the most influential modern eyewear creators - Oliver Goldsmith. Who is actually the one that created the sunglasses style with the TV screens back in 1967 and the "Love me style" in 1979. Some of the iconic styles created long ago:
Claire re-introduced some of the most iconic and timeless in their design vintage sunglasses styles from the 1940s till the 1980 starting back in 2005 and now has her own collection of amazing classy frames.
I happened to find this Irwin style for which I totally fell in love so I digged deeper and found out a great quality brand.
The frames are all handmade and the company is still using the traditional methods and classic vintage acetates which they've collected for years. They work with craftsmen in England and some in Italy - the country that basically created eyewear and still has the most highly experienced craftsmen, and some in Japan where technology leads the way, and others in Germany where precision and excellence is standard says the company.
Prices are about 350€ more or less depending on the style, but I'm sure it pays back.
I'm totally getting this style, but first I'll check it out in London next week where in Notting Hill the company has their official store and showroom where you can see the complete Oliver Goldsmith and Claire Goldsmith collections as well as access to any of the hundreds (500) rare and classic vintage designs held in a private lounge. You can choose any style from the 40s till the 80s and get it re-created for you.
Here goes the 14th compilation by Stephane Pompougnac!
I cannot be happier as these albums have been the soundtrack of my life and it's the only music that has never changed for another in my ipod.
I'm impatiently waiting for the original album I ordered to arrive, as I'm collecting them. You can buy it in itunes for 9.99€ or get the real cd (with amazing cover as usual) from http://www.hotelcostes.com/ for nearly 45€ with postage.
More info for costes from my blog here.
In the meantime here's a link for some of the photos of another shoot I did with Nike SB presenting the HO collection.
