Alexander Wang for Balenciaga

Nicholas Ghesquiere who lead the Balenciaga brand for 15 years, has officially left today. The reasons for his depart are still unclear. On the other hand, the good news is that they found a suitable person to replace him; the one and only person who can mix edgyness, elegance, effortless all in one look:  Alexander Wang.

I can sort of see the resemblance in their designs so hopefully Balenciaga will continue to be as successful as it is today after Wang takes over.

Christian Louboutin inspired nails

Is Christian Louboutin conquering the world? I really do think so. Who knew that the obsession with  red soles can inspire someone to get their nails done the very same style? What's next? Louboutin hair style? The thought wouldn't even shock me.

H&M teaming up with Givenchy?

So rumor has it that Givenchy is going to collaborate with H&M in 2013. I cannot begin to express my excitement on this news! Let's keep our fingers crossed!

White out-Winter Coats

Who said you can't wear white in winter? Even though it still hasn't snowed in Geneva (However I do have this feeling deep down inside that it will start to snow sometime soon) Why not blend in with the snow? Haha just kidding. However I do think it's a must have and does take some courage to pull off properly. I suggest mixing it with tones of bordeaux, grey or brown to balance it out. Some of you might be as bold as Chiara Ferragni from the blonde salad and just dress in white from head to toe.

P.S: It's all about the baggy look, as if you stole your boyfriend's coat. I really think that we are living in a tomboyish phase lately.

P.P.S: I'm also totally loving the baby pink coat from Jil Sander which is also pretty lose style.

Evening Bags/clutches

Sometimes all you need to take with you is a lipstick,phone and credit card. Here are some of the perfect night time clutches/bags that I am loving. Despite the horrible weather Geneva has been having, I found myself very drawn into colorful bags. Especially purple and yellow.

Winter goodies

Achh with all the christmas decorations out there makes it seem so suprising to me that winter is already here and very soon it will be a new year all over again! Time does fly by quickly. Before you know it, it will be mountain season again! Meanwhile as the temperature drops even lower, this makes me want to cuddle up next to the chimney and stay warm while sipping some hot chocolate. Here are a few basic things I found online that would totally rock a winter's look.

Pointy shoes

Say goodbye to the boring, normal round shaped shoes and say hello the pointy ones. As time goes by, it seems that they are getting more popular. Recently I've been loving pointy shoes. I feel that they compliment an outfit perfectly.

Hair crisis

Ever wake up in the morning and realize that your having a horrible hair?  Or you just realize that you have to be somewhere but you do not have time to go to the hair dresser? Welcome to the club. When such days do occur worry not! There are always solutions for them. I have found 3 different hair styles which are extremely easy to do and which is not time consuming at all.


The bun:

This look is very timeless and elegant. Pulling your hair back, allows more concentration on a person's features and could be quite refreshing for a change. Simply pull your hair back and some mouse, jell, or other styling products to keep it in shape.













The side pony tail:

This look has a girly twist to it, compared to the back bony tail which could be a bit more "boyish." Add some earrings and try increase some volume to the sides and your good to go. You could also add accessories such as a headpiece to make it less simplistic.









The back braid:

Okay, here's my little secret. I tend to cheat with this look a lot. It is physically hard for me to braid my hair completely by myself. Therefore i start off by tying my hair in a pony tail, making sure that there is nothing on the way. After doing so I start to braid my hair and attach is with a hair tie.

Nicolas Ghesquiere parts with Balenciaga

Some very sad news today..Nicolas Ghesquiere parts ways with Balenciaga. The designer has been working for Balenciaga since 1997 with tremendous success. There are times in life when you require change, and perhaps want to move on from one thing to another. However this was very sudden and unexpected. Rumor has it that the PPR and Ghesquiere both had a mutual decision on his depart. His unique style and a lot of his influential looks will be missed. There is no news yet for who will be the next designer, let us hope though that it will be someone just as great!
