Color me Dior…

Published by

Ever since “La Vie en Rose” I have been utterly mesmerized by, the gorgeous and effortlessly chic, Marion Cotillard. In preparing my next “Coming Soon” post, about the upcoming Dior “Golden Winter” Christmas Make-Up Collection 2013 I visited Dior Mag and bumped into the latest Lady Dior Resort 2014 print ad campaign. Shot by British photographer Tim Walker, the campaign features the stunning, Academy Award-winning actress, clad in Raf Simons‘ 2014 Resort Collection & showcasing two of the new, colorful Lady Dior bags – in front of equally colorful canvases. It takes just one look at the photos above for anyone to realise exactly why the French actress has been the face of the House of Dior for the last 5 years (and counting). {Source: Dior Mag}

High- Tech Animal Hugs

Published by

If I have to be honest, it’s been quite some time since I have last owned an iPhone (since before the iPhone4 release, to be precise). I am more of an HTC fan these days (at least until something comes along by Samsung that does not feel like flimsy, crumble-in-your-hands designer plastic to me). That said, I recently found myself wishing I still had an iPhone – if only to be able to make use of these amazingly cute & girly, protective cases by Moschino. My heart literally skipped a bit when I first saw them – especially the little bunny one (I know, I know… but the child in me refuses to be silenced!). The collection includes iPhone4, iPhone5, iPad & iPad Mini cases (with prices ranging from 45€- 93€) and you can see it in full detail on the Moschino Online Store (by clicking here).
