Locher's Paris

Do you remember my post about the Paris-based Swiss designer Nicole Locher back in October last year?







Their line now includes a NEW VINTAGE VIXEN series of handmade silver-chain necklaces carrying pendants adorned with tiny pastries, porcelain flowers, satin and lace ribbon bows, sweet charms and their pendants don't shy away from naughty statements, preventing us from becoming "too sweet" while adding the right touch of intrigue and danger.....







"Maybe it's arrogance, but oh well. When you are the shit, you are the shit and there really isn't anything you can do about it."



I think this necklace would be a great present to myself for finishing my Bachelors degree at university. :)



Get yourself something while they're on sale!





She continued searching... certain only, of what she didn't want.





My routine for the past four days was to stay in and watch at least two movies a day, which I needed and enjoyed very much. Can you guess from which movie the title of this post is? A hint: it's the last lines of the narrator.

Anyways, now that the weather has finally cleared up I'm spending more time outside catching some sun and enjoying la dolce far niente.

Wednesday's Inspiration: Slacks

I saved these pictures as inspirations on how to wear slacks for myself but I thought I'd also share them with you. I really like the slouchy feel and let's be honest, they're way more comfortable than skinnies. But also a bit trickier to wear in my opinion. What do you think?
