What 2012 brings us – Part 5: pattern

What will we wear in 2012? We have dealt more accuratet with this issue. How sould the things be wear? With which things can they be combined and the most important question: Which are the must haves and were can I buy it? I will present you the trends of 2012 in several parts. Today: pattern.

The prints are back. It all began with the Celine Resort collection 2012 and now they are everywhere.

How to combine these?
Prints are an eye catcher, so caution is necessary here. More is quickly too much. So rather combine with solid parts, which can be in loud colors.

Which fabrics are used?
You can not limit this trend to special fabrics. Everything that is printable is printed :)

My favorite pieces?
I think the issue is really a matter of taste. If you like floral patterns or the simple ones is your choice but one thing is clear: It attracts attention!

What 2012 brings us – Part 4: mermaids

What will we wear in 2012? We have dealt more accuratet with this issue. How sould the things be wear? With which things can they be combined and the most important question: Which are the must haves and were can I buy it? I will present you the trends of 2012 in several parts. Today: mermaids.

We dive into the depths of the sea. White is combined with delicate, shimmering fabrics and colors. The look of the mermaid is created with lots of beads and sequins and it’s not only wearable for the swimming season.

How to combine these?
We combine very delicate and cool colors, e.g. Aqua-green, with white. So heavy colors are taboo in this combination. Among the accessories, it can then be quietly playful (e.g. with beads or shells).

Which fabrics are used?
Falling, delicate fabrics are perfect for the cool colors that remind us of water. But of course sequins are often used to create the appearance of dandruff or a glittering water surface.

My favorite pieces?
I can already tell you: I like this trend . The delicate fabrics and shimmering feminine elements act simply wonderful. Here are the results of my search:

White is and will stay timeless. You can wear it everytime and with its light appearance it  introduce great for spring.

What is special about the look is that it is worn completely in white. By straight cuts this can look very elegant.

Which fabrics are used?
There are no limits, whether opaque or transparent, playful or straight. Everything is allowed.

My favorite pieces?
I like the look with straight cuts. As a combination eg. a white drainpipe trousers and to a white blazer. This looks elegant and super serious.

Time for wrinkles

We grow older day by day and we can not avoid wrinkles. But as long as we can keep the wrinkles out of our faces we do so, but we like to wear them. Last year I was already interested in the plisse fabric. I was looking for the perfect plisse skirt but it had to be black and long and I could not find it, until now.

Out there are different kinds of plisse: woven plisse, pleated fabric, knitted plisse and chemical-technical plisse. In the chemical-technical method the fabric is treated with artificial resin and chemicals, fold in wrinkles and pressed mechanical.

Enduring wrinkles are only possible with synthetic fabrics. Who does not want to re-wrinkle the newest piece with needles and the steam iron in an hour long procedure, should have a look what material the new piece is made out of.

There is a big variety of plisse forms, they vary in the direction the wrinkles are folded in, they can be standing or like an accordion or some of them also open up to the end of the skirt like sunbeams.

What will we wear in 2012? We have dealt more accuratet with this issue. How sould the things be wear? With which things can they be combined and the most important question: Which are the must haves and were can I buy it? I will present you the trends of 2012 in several parts. Today: metallic.
Back to the Future! Now the metallic look has been presented on the catwalks.

How to combine these?
The various metallic shades (silver, platinum, bronze and gold) can also be combined. I especially like it when the outfit is not overloaded with too many colors or accessories. It’s often enough to wear a nice dress, some shoes and maybe a pocket – Because we know: less is more.

Which fabrics are used?
It can be used flowing but also compact fabrics. The main thing it shines and beams us back to another time :)

My favorite pieces?
I personally like it, if the futuristic look is still wearable. That is why I particularly like the jersey knit jacket in metallic look, and the draped jersey dress with a metallic look (both from religion). Here are the remaining tidbits that I’ve found:

What 2012 brings us – Part 1: pastel

What will we wear in 2012? We have dealt more accuratet with this issue. How sould the things be wear? With which things can they be combined and the most important question: Which are the must haves and were can I buy it? I will present you the trends of 2012 in several parts. Today: pastel.

The pastel colors are coming! Marc Jabobs at Louis Vuitton demonstrated it for us. Fine fabrics like lace is worn in pastel shades and this reminds us a little bit of sweets. But this is not bad, because which girl does not like a light, sweet, almost elfin look? In addition, these sweet soft colors and fabrics introduce great for spring. Here all the soft colors are worn: light yellow, delicate blue, mint green, rose and cream-beige.

How to combine these?
Pastel colors are very soft and light and should therefore not be combined with other colours. Use one tone for the whole outfit (eg. nude) or combined similar shades:

Benetton | Strickjacke – cream (ca. 60 €)

Ana Alcazar |  BATYA – Kleid – nude (ca. 110 €)

Anna Field | Pumps – make up (ca. 30 €)

American Vintage | BIG SKY COUNTRY – Pullover – blanc (ca. 100 €)

True Religion | CAMERON – Hose – stone grey (ca. 230 €)

seven seconds | Pumps – sand (ca. 50 €)

Which fabrics are used?
These light colors naturally lend themselves to transparent materials. But even slight falling materials and lace support this delicate look.

My favorite pieces?
I had a look around once again and found really nice pieces. I already falled in love with the the sand-colored pumps from seven seconds (see above) :)

Versace Cruise Collection for H&M – LLGF report of the presentation

Versace Cruise Collection for H&M

Versace Cruise Collection for H&M

Exciting! Our first invitation and Tori found it very nice. She was there for us at the Versace Collection Cruise presentation and could see the complete collection before the start of sales. In a small, exclusive setting, the second collaboration between Versace and H&M was presented in Berlin today. Tori dived into the world of Versace and knows following to report.

Versace, a house that is known for its excessive use of color and pattern, has also grab once more in his bag of tricks for the Cruise Collection.

A favorite of Donatella is the meander pattern. It will be reflected in the women’s and men’s line. The women wear it in gold for example on white trousers embroidered on the side seam, the men as large print on plain colored T-shirts or as a small embroidery on the white shirt. The men’s line comes in intense, mostly dark colors, dominated by royal blue, light brown, black and white as well.

With the ladies it’s going on fruity. Some of the pieces are large-print pattern. You can not nibble from it, but as long as the men find us scrumptious, there can be no objection to a bit pattern on the coat rack. The print simply exudes a summery flavor and is great for the next holiday.

Also an old friend is present: the pleat. Learned to love last year, also Versace has not resigned it for the Cruise Collection.

Even the processing of the pieces could convince Tori. Tops were working with hardly any visible seams, partly concealed plackets and stitching were used. Even the shoes of the collection are well made. Lightweight outerwear from falling soft materials, thin, shimmering cotton, silk and silk-cashmere, gold – the luxury is not neglected. And for those who are enjoying the vacation – the pants have elastane content, so it expands with a bit.

We anticipated one of our summer trends – the pastel shades of pink to lavender, mixed with white highlights  by Versace for H&M. Also the printed materials exist in different color variations.

Everything is rounded off with some nice accessories that address the Gold-/Mäander-Issue and a butterfly motif: chains, earrings, bracelets, weekenders, white and printed paint ballerinas and everything you need for the beach visit.

The first piece of holiday was on the way home  – Tori is extremely pleased about the charm bracelet with a butterfly from the Versace Cruise Collection for H&M. Now she dreams of their next holiday and, like the rest of the team LLGF, sit with draw finger on the mouse in front of the H&M online shop at 19.01. and grab the next favorite piece for the big trip around the world.

shopping gems

I would like to show you two more shopping gems. I’ve found two really nice pair of shoes. I bought both at Dielmann and thereby been lucky once again, because they were reduced :)
I like to wear the laces with a plain black dress and black opaque tights. Of course you can also wear them to drainpipe pants.

The boots can also be worn with tights or leggings (with shorts, dress or skirt) but also to drainpipe pants. I like to combine them with cuffs and tie them not completely, but leave them ajar so that the look is casually.

Best Friends

Well, Christmas is already over, but I still enjoy my beautiful gifts I received. The best gifts are the homemade ones I think. This year I received a hand-knitted cap from my girlfriend, which I want to show you. For those of you who are blessed with craftsmanship – in whatever form – I say: catch your pen, your knitting or crochet needle, your colors or what you have and make a self-made gift for your loved ones. This is really a very special value.

Velvety soft

Velvet returns: as bag, shoes, coat, blazer, dress or pants. It gives your look a last glimmer and can be combined with everything. In this case it’s important to combine it with other substances (e.g. jeans), otherwise it seems overloaded.

Of course I put together some nice pieces for you. Especially as shorts or dress it can be worn well and can be combined easily I think.

PS: If you remember have worn velvet pumps before (see Lookbook) ;)

Flea market finding: The leather bag

I nearly lost all my hope to find something nice but there it was, hiding under a pile of old clothes on the ground. Negotiate the price a bit, pull out some coins (really, only some) and it was mine. My new bag. Yes guys, women do need more than one bag. For every situation, in every shape and colour you could think of and in all those diverse materials, we minimum need one each. This one is made out of thick leather and is a sac with a very cylindrical  shape, I do not see this shape often those days. Again it was worth it to go to the flea market. Triumphantly I went home, cleaned my new darling and took care of it, and here you go, it nearly looks as if it’s new. Here a tip for you: Use a good leather oil to take care of your leather bags and let them look new again. Here are some pictures for you.

Lederbeutel vom Flohmarkt

And here are some nice details:

Lederbeutel Detail Logo

El Campero is an italian leatherwear producer, mostly they produce shoes. Nice to see here: the different embossment of some leather parts.

The fastener:

The bag can be closed with a leather strap, a nice detail.
