FASHION ACCESSORIE ADDS

Accessories adds, was another thing I noticed in Elle.

Adds are all over in Fashion Magazines these days. Bag adds, cosmetic-, perfume- and jewellery adds, sometimes with a model in a suiting outfit or just to give a certain appealing feeling, to tempt you. Because these things are affordable for most people. -The Companies know exactly how it works.

Nowadays every known artist or celebrity like Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aquilera, Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears and the Beckhams have their own perfume.

Because, that is where the money is. It is also the main reason why all the big designer brands and fashion-houses like Dior, Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent still survives today.

TREND - TEXTURES & COLOURS

When you travel, you always get new impulses and inspiration. . .

Like magazines you usually don´t buy. 

I found this fashion-editorial, that I came across in the December issue of Elle quite inspiring and wanted to share it.

THE COLLECTION OF ELIZABETH TAYLOR

Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor (February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011) was a famous British-American actress. From her early years as a child star at MGM-Studios, she became one of the great screen actresses of Hollywood´s Golden Age. As one of the world's most Iconic film stars, Elisabeth Taylor was recognized for her acting ability and for her glamorous lifestyle, beauty and distinctive violet eyes.

Through her career that spanned six decades, Elizabeth Taylor won two Oscars and made more than 50 films. Read my previous post to her tribute here.

Elizabeth Taylor was also a pioneer in marketing a celebrity merchandise brand, and despite her years as an actress, most of Taylor's wealth came from her business ventures. She designed fine jewelry for The Elizabeth Collection, and launched three perfumes, "White Diamonds",  Passion", and "Passion for Men", which together had an estimated US$ 69 million in 2010 sales.

Recently her entire Collection of Jewelry, Fashion and Accessories as well as her Haute Couture Gowns has been displayed in Moscow, London, Los Angeles, Dubai, Geneva, Paris, and Hong Kong to promote The Auction that is taking place these days at Christies.

THE WINTER JACKET

 As promised last week, here are a few pictures of the finished Coat, that are going on a journey tomorrow. I always underestimate the time it takes to finish something like that, but I made just in time.

I will try to keep up posting here, while I´m away. Enjoy the Holidays.
