Seems I have been bombarding you with film clips lately and here is one more…  its a very cute commercial for Victoria Beckham’s collection.  I like it… its a very original and refreshing little movie. 

The collection consists of 10 50’s inspired dresses. Very cute.

Have fun, click here to watch it.  For the collection go here, and enjoy another movie.

What do I love most? fashion and entertainment.  What magazines do I read… you got it, fashion magazines.

Where do all of these things come together? At Fashionair, created by Net-a-Porter alum, Sojin Lee and British music mogul, Simon Fuller. The current beta version is pretty promising.  Might become an entirely new addiction for yours truly.

Check it out here.

I love this! Andre Leon Talley shares his tennis style…. LV all the way, I love his towel. This man is uber fabulous. Unbelievable…. amazing.

The US release is getting closer and Anna Wintour is promoting her film, The September Issue. Watch this clip of her on David Letterman. I think she handles herself very well. Plus, she looks amazing, skin of a twenty year old, how do you do that Ms Wintour?

In case you wish to feel the fabric, just contact Joline’s office and they will send you a card with all the fabrics of the season ( I can assure you, they are amazing). Furthermore, if you would like to try on the clothes it is possible to make an appointment in the studio for a fitting.

I am in love with this fall’s DKNY ready to wear collection. The collection is very versatile and an example of what a capsule wardrobe could look like.  Basic suits, fabulous coats, great trousers in black and grey combined with lots of colour.  See for yourself on the DKNY website.

H&M rocks

Fashiontweet is a huge fan of combining labels with brands like H&M and Zara. I have to share my latest purchase with you. Glitter and rockstar chic is a big part of the fall/winter fashion but not always as wearable as other trends. This shirt however, is totally wearable and you don’t have to be a stick figure to get away with it…..rock it out !

Spa Zuiver

Spa Zuiver, or Spa Pure translated, is a new spa located near the South Axis of Amsterdam.  A massive welness centre for Dutch standards, it comprises of 13.000 sq.m indoor and 4.000 sq.m outdoor space. 


I had the pleasure of experiencing Spa Zuiver last week and was pleasantly surprised. The spa, designed by Vincent Giling has international allure and has been designed, with water with its calming atributes, as its main feature.

Spa Zuiver offers different sauna and hammam experiences as well as several treatments, such as facials, massages, manicures and pedicures. All tailored to your skin and body needs.  Spa Zuiver uses products from the comfort zone line.

Don’t worry y’all, not going to overshare my personal life with you… I just want to share my love of shoes with you, more specifically, fall/winter 2009 shoes, ankle boots and boots.

Daniele Dentici’s shoe salon on the van Woustraat in Amsterdam has an amazing collection of fall/winter shoes, shoeboots, ankle boots and well tall boots, as well as handbags.

Let me show you some examples: {please make sure you click on the images to see the full image}

Sometimes, when I shop, I can feel my Southern Californian grandmother’s spirit shopping right along with me. That happened this morning, when I was so overjoyed with Dentici’s collection. I know she would have loved the boots especially.

The shoe salon is expecting 5 more brands to deliver their fall/winter collection next week so be sure to go and visit them in the next couple of weeks.

For those on the other side of town, another Daniele Dentici shoe salon will open on the Elandsgracht 10 in September. As soon as I have more information about the opening I shall let you know.

Have fun shopping …
