Milan fashion week as seen by The Face Hunter

I love Yvan Rodic and how he is able to take beautiful pics of fancy people. Recently he was in Milan for the fashion week (well, yes, so was I ...but maybe in my case it doesnt mean much :)
Here are some snapshots as pictured in http://yvanrodic.com/posts/4866/milan

What a cool blog - KOO

These pics come from a great fashio street blog I have recently discovered. The blog is http://www.koo.im/blog/ and it is run by a New York based guy who says "Through my camera lens, I hope to express and represent a myriad of cultures through fashion in hopes for the world to see. I am always on the streets of New York City and if you have yet to see me, I am positive you will if you are a true fashion lover".
Should I add something else? I wish I could make pics like these....

Watersnake bags- what else?

 

 

The beirn (pronounced "burn") bag...

Throughout their travels in many parts of the world, Rita Overzat and her two daughters, Ali Trier, and Jenna Overzat, decided to design a few bags made of authentic watersnake just for themselves as a memory of their whirlwind Indonesian vacation. After receiving an abundance of undeniably positive feedback from friends and retailers back home in New York, the decision to introduce beirn to the world was left unanimous. And now they sell almost everywhere, from Russia to Mexico.

Al e Ro sunglasses - when design meets fashion

I just love the shape and the material of these beautiful sunglasses.
Al e Ro is a 100% Made in Italy and eco-friendly brand, and it is a mix of innovation, fashion, quality and design.

They come in many colors...but I love the pink ones below :)

Chie Mihara - and the amazing shoes

 

Can sandals be more simple and stylish than this? mmmmhhh...I don't think so.

Chie is a Japanese lady, raised in Brasil and now linving in Spain who makes by hand these fabolous shoes...Have a look at http://www.chiemihara.com/

And then let me know if you don t want to buy them all (ok, maybe even one pair would be enough...yes, THEY ARE EXPENSIVE)

I just love, love and love Beatrice Valenzuela Shoes

 

 

 

Beatrice’s handmade leather moccasins, I love them so much. The moment I saw them, I just fell in love. She mixes indigenous-inspired styles with her native Mexican twist. I love the boots..they cost a bit (230$ on http://www.beatricevalenzuela.com/)...but I am pretty sure they are worth the price!

Mason Pearson Brush - why I bought one....

 

Why it is THE perfect brush:

 

1. The combination of nylon and natural bristles is perfect for giving hair a smooth and shiny "flat-iron" finish without the lifeless look flat irons give.

2. The perfect length of the bristles. The length of the bristles is really important in a hair brush – if they’re too short, the brush won’t glide easily through the hair, which will give you a dull and frizzy blow dry.

3. A slight curve on the bristle part of the brush. All Mason Pearsons have this – it's perfect for giving your roots volume and creating a slight bend at the ends.

6. The size of the handle. The brush handle on Masons is thin enough to hold comfortably in your hand and to lay flat against your forehead when blow-drying bangs.

7. Durability. I know people who have had a Mason Pearson brush since they were children and still use it as adults. I've used mine on countless heads of hair and it's just as good as day one.

A Mason Pearson is definitely pricy, and there are a lot of knockoffs (especially in Europe), but this is the best one!! I bought mine at www.tlcpharmacy.co.uk

When Denmark meets Africa- Trine Lindegaard

I just love these African inspired patterns by Trine Lindegaard.
Trine is Danish and studied industrial pattern cutting and manufacturing at the Istituto Carlo Secoli in Milan...her last men collection is beautiful as that (see below).
Her clothes are noted as “colourful with a light-hearted approach to menswear” and she is definitely known to be bold with textile techniques and innovation.
