be blushless

add some color part I

Did I just say I am desparate for some sunshine? The latest collection of Dinosaur is inspired by the SUN.
All this powerful yellow, orange and red shades combined with gold are instantly getting me into summer mood.
Liv loves that the collection is presented on the naked body ; )

(Go,go,go away endless German snowy winter, please, Liv is a summergirl!)

I recently found a lot colorful designs that would match perfectly with a white dress and could be worn again and again.
My first “add some color post” is about the Sydney based jewelry/homeware design company Dinosaur.
The Team consists of Louise Olsen, Stephen Ormandy and Liane Rossler. They have managed to intersect the boundaries between art, craft, design, fashion and business without pause, and have applied the same creative energy and focused vision to each new opportunity. The Dinosaurs have forged an important place for themselves within Australian design history, not only through their longevity and popularity but also through the distinctively Australian character of their work, with many of the colours and forms they use evoking the casual lifestyle and vibrant natural landscape of Australia. -Brian Parkes Curator, Object Gallery
They also care about the environment in different ways, so you can be sure you’ll support sustainable designs.

Liv likes Lingerie. There has been a big discussion based on boudoir photoshoots on ESB read it here.
I agree boudoir shootings by a photographer could be really embarassing. Self-portraits are really inspiring on the other hand.
To send over via email if you are in an LDR…or just for the fun of it.
And I don’t think most man are not interested in lingerie and don’t give a shit… Of course it feels great and sexy to be naked.
I love being naked ; )

During London Fashion Week Liv met Victoria, the designer of the super hot London based lingerie label Fred & Ginger.
Their underwear is delighted to look naughty but luxurious sophistication
at the same time. I am definitely a Fan of black underwear,
so I especially like the “black label” collection.
The Bridal Collection is vintage inspired, from white silks but far far from boring as well.

Love the glamourous make-up with the red lipstick! Its my winterlook!

P.s: fred & ginger designs for both Freds and Gingers! Extra points for sexy mens underwear coming soon.

It’s Mens Fashion Week!
Liv likes Raf Simons collection a lot: review: here.
Perfect time to find rad grooms outfit inspirations.
The image above is showing an item by Michael Bastian.
What are your thoughts? Is a denim jacket acceptable to wear for the groom?
(hello, laid-back beach wedding!?)

If not for a wedding this still is a pretty cool item with its all american, wild wild west appeal.

flapper feeling

This wedding clutches by Michelle Hartney just appeared in my inbox.
I really like the flapper inspired vintage designs as well as her unique rings that made it into the Miami University Art Museum.
All the designs have been created out of recycled materials.
As much as like clean futuristic designs in general, I like these old vintage laces, it feels like they have a story to tell.
20′s inspired designs and fashion always gets me excited because it strongly represents the independence that women discovered during that era.

jewelry designer extraordinaire

I couldn’t believe my eyes when i saw Jessica de Lotz latest collection for the first time. She deconstructs vintage and flea market finds
and then recreates these incredible jewelry pieces.
So, a a thirties door bell came back as a beautiful black diamond ring.

Most suitable for wedding/engagement jewelry would be the
“The Love Story, Paris 1946” collection,
which can be personalised with your initials or different symbols.
The hand stemped wax seal necklace really gives me this romantic vintage feeling.
Im curious what will be next! Can’t wait to get updates from this lady.

what’s next?

that had recently inspired me.

liv loves blackboard paint

Blackboard paint is so much fun…
you can write each other messages , write down notes,
wishlists, shoppinglist, or just draw little sketches.

Liv feels a bit crafty right now.I am really in the mood to create a new home.
I still want this stairs. And a golden bathroom. Don’t ask me why.
At the same time I know that I will be moving several more times, so all this ideas are for : one day…

Romy

Romy Schneider!
Love this filmposter. Really fits into my moodboard.
I think Romy has an incredibly modern look on this one-
a bit Kate Moss like. I mean the other way around obviously.
I have to see this movie asap.

rebellious rings

images via Macha Jewelry
‘

…Macha is about a quiet rebellion, not necessarily‘beautiful’, but not without nobility either, rough and warm-hearted and full of ripe character. It‘s witty, tenacious and defiant with an air of old fashioned peace…’

Oh yeah! You have to like a jewelry designer that describes her creations like that, right?
For me the pieces by Macha Jewelry look all really contemporary.
The way jewelry should look in 2010, if its not vintage.
I love that there are so many finds suitable for men.
Even outside the mens category on her website.
These stud signet rings for example or the big knot rings,
would make great unisex wedding bands.
And Liv especially likes the ones that combine silver and gold. For herself.

Uhm do you think I am writing too much about jewelry?

jazz for the groom

How rad are all those jazz shoes and hightops?
They come in mens and womens sizes and are designed in New York.

Carla Venticinque-Osborn & Aaron Osborn are not only designing shoes, check out their other projects and artworks.
I am always fascinated by artist- and creative couples who are working together.

Maybe that will become one topic for this blog!?

Ah oui, this shoes are neither vegan, nor green but they are trés chic haute couture from Paris.
I like their traditional techniques and incredible details.

I feel like I am maybe the only fashion obsessed person,
that is not totally crazy about Paris right now.
Liv had always been in love with New York and learned to love London.
Alright: I adore colette and thats already reason enaugh for a weekend trip to Paris every then and when ; )
