I told you mother, you shouldn't have done that.

Once upon a time, there was this beautiful pair of clogs. Super high, super wooden-ish, super everything. They were the Super Clogs. One horrible day my mother said "this are so outdated now, I'm giving them away". Myself, the victim in all this, try to warn her of all the horrible things that could happen if she throw those away. She didn't listen...
Years later Karl Lagerfeld made a collection and BAM!!! there they were again; the clog is back.
Now my mother and I are mourning the loss of the super clogs. Lost forever in eternity. RIP.

While we mourn, we like to lust after this ones right here.

Go ahead JUMP!

In one of my daily readings I came across this amazing exhibition in www.laurencemillergallery.com by Philippe Halsman called Jump!. He was a photographer in the 1950's who did covers for Life, the Saturday Evening Post and many others. The fun fact about him is that when the shoot was over, he asked the person he was shooting to jump and he would snap a picture.
He managed to capture many iconic people of that decade and some that are still view as icons.
So they gathered all this images and made an exhibition of it. It's so full of life and happiness and peacefulness. He was able to capture so many emotions in just a simple shot of a person jumping. It shows us what and extraodinary photographer he was.
So...I'm not gonna post them all because they are quite a few, but here are my absolutley favorites:

Audrey Hepburn♥ 1955

Call It Love

I couldn't resist to post this editorial from Vogue Nippon because it has my two loves: fashion and Nicholas Hoult. And of course the Miu Miu's I spot somewhere and the Prada chandeliers. The styling is AH-MA-ZING, pure perfection.
