DIY. PEPLUM

For two seasons now, this trend is hunting me. Remember Jill Sander's S/S 2011 collection ? I instantly felt in love with the pelpum, may it be a top or a skirt. 

So I've been searching for the ideal one, and the only two options, here in Romania, were at H&M. Or I could order it from Asos, which has a lot more options. But, instead I preferred to make my one peplum. So I used the upper side from a leather dress that I have altered some time ago, and sewed the bottom part. I couldn't say it was a piece of cake because I still develop my sewing skills, but I love the final result. What I love most is the mix of leather and stripes. I can't wait to wear it. I promise you a full post with the outfits.

ps: peplum skirt coming soon. A few more details and it's ready to be unveiled.

Back to Black

I've just seen Jean-Paul Gaultier's Spring 2012 couture show and I'm speechless.  The collection is a tribute to Amy Winehouse's style, and I just love it!!! Nobody would have done it better than Gaultier. The giant beehive, cigarettes in hand, heavy eyeliner, burlesque inspiration, dramatic dresses, menswear; PERFECTION.

If you haven't seen it make sure to check style.com. Hope you'll love it as much as I do. Enjoy!

ps:  speeking of big hair, I think Jean-Paul Gaultier is in. And a little something to remind you of Amy Winehouse.
