Friday eye candy: The Hermes Kelly

I don't like Kelly bags, I adore them!  For me it has always been The bag to hold and behold.  Enjoy!

Street Style: Chic and Modern

 This is an entire modern-chic ensemble.

Dear ladies, what would be of the world if we didn't wake up every morning wanting to look pretty and chic in our own skins, wearing the pieces that we delineate as our individual defined-style?  Style is, at any given moment of the day, everywhere and it's an endless source of inspiration.  These uplifting images here represent only a handful of what is for me modern and chic.  Enjoy!

 Stylish and sophisticated. 

 Very personalized and unique outfit.  I love it!

 Adore the blazer

Style inspiration: Ada Kokosar

You could say I have an ada-diction for Ada Kokosar's personal style.  She is a stylist and a fashion consultant whose style renders me feeling ashamed of my still-in-progress-style.  Her style is everything I want to have, minimalist, modern, sophisticated with the right amount of masculinity that sets her apart and above many other fashionistas.  Reading more about her in the Telegraph I found out we like the same designers and for the same similar reasons.  This only makes me admire her more.  Enjoy!
From Telegraph, interview by Ellie Pithers
Who are your favourite designers?
Nicolas Ghesquière for his talent for looking forward and making the most sophisticated, modern look; I love his structural shapes, sleek overcoats and statement shoes. Riccardo Tisci for his vision - I've known him since he started and he has achieved so much. His woman has a very unique, strong personality and a mysterious allure. Phoebe Philo for her effortless, relaxed modernity. Marc Jacobs because I really appreciate his styling talent. Raf Simons for his search for detail…read more.

 Love the detail of the pockets in her skirt

Allure

Unexpected color combinaton.

Adore those booties.

Perfect!

 That skirt

 Another unexpected color combination.

 Masculine shoes and an Hermes belt.

 Too much clothes for you so far?  Don't worry she also does sexy but just on the little side.

Friday Eye candy: Happy feet

Literally most feet are happy in flat shoes; even more if the shoes happen to be funny and cute!  I posted a run up of slip-ons earlier this week but they are two totally different types of shoes and meant to complement different styles.  One being more sneaker-type than the other one, I feel I can post about these little cuty ones without overwhelming you.  After all it's all about dressing accordingly.  I'm sure you've seen these kitty face shoes by Charlotte Olympia or the Marc Jacobs ones which feature a mouse face, around.  Enjoy!

 Looking fabulous, relaxed and burning calories while wearing kicks.  Smart!

Yes you read that title right!  If you still refer to these comfortable and stylish shoe options as sneakers, I hate to break the news to you, you're getting old!  They are not sneakers anymore they are called "kicks" and no, it has nothing to do with the literal meaning.  It just sounds cool as they look as of late.  Get yourself a pair of converse and feel younger! 

By looking at these images this post should've been named Kicks and Celine.

 New Balance and floral pants.

 Celine and Isabel Marant red kicks.

Love this look!

 Such a beautiful color combo burgundy and black.  Yves Saint Laurent sneakers.  I mean kicks!
