D&G Topless Sexiness


I'm not a big fan of D & G, to be honest I'd actually prefer to stay away from them. But this is an exception. I'm in love with all things sexy and this caught my attention.

I was in front of the train station one day and a bus went past with this D & G ad

Its the ad campaign for D&G's Fragrance Anthology with some 90's supermodels - Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, Claudia Schiffer and some younger male models (who if I might add are extremely hot) Fernando Fernandes, Noah Mills and Tyson Ballou in the ads for their new fragrance shot by Mario Testino.

These ad's are really sexy and for someone like me it could really make me fall in love with D&G - I like the simplicity and sexiness - its almost divine.

The fragrances are unisex, they've already been launched in america but there's a global launch set for September...I can't wait to try them out. To add a mysterious twist on things, the names for the five scents were inspired by tarot cards - Le Bateleur 1, L’Imperatrice 3, L’Amoreaux 6, La Roue de la Fortune 10, and La Lune 18.





This I think is the sexiest of all

Japan Inspired

So i think i'm starting to fall in love with Japan....their culture, politics, art, fashion, life style fascinates & inspires me...i think i should really book a flight to Tokyo or maybe Kyoto, i even find the name yummylicious.

I adore the geisha's and their kimono's they look adorable, has anyone ever seen a noh performance??? its super cool apparently its been in existence since the 14th century... and has anyone heard the pop band j-pop funny stuff, but its cute lol and who can forget the sumo wrestlers lol u have to admit that is just a funny and seriously unnecessary sport lol but thats their thing, their architecture, even their tea ceremony, their haiku's (poem's) and the fact they have their own vogue??? yuuup they do. what most people don't realise is that Japan is actually a force in the fashion industry, it first made its big debut in the fashion world in 1982 when 12 Japanese designers showed their collection in the paris pret-a-porter shows...

now think Elie Saab S/S 09 that was Japanese insipired, besides designers looking to them for inspiration they are some wonderful japanses designers - Issie Miyake, Kenzo, Hanae Mori etc their style Japonaiserie - made a big impact on contemporary fashion - their use of inventive shapes and monochrome tones, particularly the use of black - i have a love/hate relationship with the colour - they have become trend setters and yeah they are have nothing on the italians and the french but they are designers in their own right. google - Keita Maruyama - great stuff

what i think i really love about japan, is the way they are so modern but hold on tightly to their traditions, its amazing the way they do.

im going to leave you with some amazing pics of japanese things that inspire/fascinate me

mumblings.a hottie &a treat

so i finished my exams today.super excited but i'm a lil sad today...i should be sleeping but i think i have insomia...like i havent slept in two days and today i've tried everything.i even washed my hair at 3.40 am so i could feel relaxed but nothing seems to be working *sigh* oh well.

lately i've been thinking mark ronson is such a hottie, like for real he sooo is yuuuumy...i've had his album - version - on repeat for a couple of days now...he is so talented.love love him. you should totally get that album if you don't have it. the only weird thing about him is that he's related to sam ronson (yes linsday's ex she boyfrend..i know strange) *shivers* thats so creepy, i can't imagine how they have the same mami & papi and she is so, well fucking weird lol.
ok enough of the randomness.

<< mark ronson

now for the purpose of this post...the treat..the amazingness that is CHRISTOPHER BAILEY!!!

Like for real he is one of my inspirations so when i saw this on selectism i just had to share. He is one of the most talented designers ever - i'm into the whole simple chic basic but oozing with luxury look (dunno if u get what i mean lol) , that's my thing and he never disappoints, especially those yuumy trench coats.... for anyone who doesn't know who he is (seriously doubt that lol) he is creative designer of burberry..which means he basically runs the whole show...designing for all of burberry's collection lines, ad campaigns, creative direction etc... what i love most about him is that he seems so humble and i'm not a big fan of burberry, but the transformation that he has done there in the eight years he worked for them, its nothing short of amazing, like burberry used to be dull with all the plaid nonsense lol, but now its just simple.nice.chic.luxurious - the perfect basic collection.

so check out the behind the scenes for the A/W 2009 Burberry Prorsum campaign. Photographer: Mario Testino
Designed by: duuuh Christopher Bailey
Star of the campaign: Actress - Emma Watson

This campaign already looks so fabulous like it has most my favourite things ever...B&W, male models, trench coats, christopher bailey...
