I've gotten into this whole "girls who wanna be boys...boys who wanna be girls"  structure (again), and then there is Bowie who is getting some FAB credits again.

Believe me, I might not be the youngest blogger on the blog but even I was too young to experience David Bowie. I saw this "who the fuck is Mick Jagger" t-shirt (here) and I wouldn't know either if my parents weren't too music-addicted and the tunes of "I can't get noooo...satisfaction" seeped into my infant brain.

OK, David Bowie...His latest video features a very Dolled-up Tilda Swinton, voodoo-esque interference of a younger generation, massive copycat-ting, and...tadaah, the collar by Bjorg
jewellery ♥.

Androgyne meetup with collar

I always like to see who the big stars are attracted to. Bowie was rumoured to be bisexual. He chosen Iman with killer cheekbones and supermodel gorgeousness to be his wife.

Iman (Bowie's wife)

Here is the couple together in Cape town...I cannot get over the bodylanguage of the two:

from Thatbowiegirl Tumblr (here)

It's the fact that normally the woman takes the limelight of the photo and is the one who flirts the most with the camera: dear Mr. Bowie is like "All eyes on me, people"

That's enough chat for today as an alternative to the feed of Paris fashion Week...Enjoy the last week of the fashionweeks sessions!

1950s Housewife ft. the Carven Top

Top: Carven, Skirt: Zara, Shoes: Topshop, Bracelet: belt by Primark; Cos & House of Harlow. Leather Cuff (alos in 1st pic: Marni), Sunglasses: Spitfire Weekend , Bag: vintage

Same as before

I wanted to take my new Carven top to the max by combining it with almost every SS12 trend there is, resulting to a slightly caricature image of the 1950s housewife.

I found it fitting to leave the curlers in for the idea of the housewife in her holiday cabin getting ready to socialize. To upp the 50s kitch factor I picked plastic Ikea cups in a bright colour for the Tupperware factor.

Sharp eyes will see I am missing one shoe, ;D, resulting into a weird cinderella-effect. Well, if my character 'the 50s housewife' has been on her cocktails, she must be slightly drunk, hence missing her shoe. In real life I have a pair: who needs a prince to bring back her shoes anyway?

Oh, I bought this skirt this winter and I was totally worried I wouldn't fit it anymore: I gained some weight because I had been on the verge of depression. Good thing the skirt still fits!

(PS: no real alcohol was used during this shoot: only a virgin mango/orange blend for vitamine C)

PS 2: I'm on a sale-announcing roll. If you like to try the Carven brand (or another fave of mine, Vanesso Bruno) you could head to mywardrobe.com as they have a secret-insiders sale going on right now of 40% all this season with MYSALEPREVIEW122  which makes this top below just €51.57 instead of the normal €130:

Carven Printemps Été 12

If any collection had the most potential to speak to my print-fanatic zeitgeist, it has been Carven.

I couldn't believe my luck  when I heard the mywardrobe was having a sale, which made me do the creditcard-thingy again.

The French designer had been quite on my fashion radar since seeing the Spring/Summer Collection. (The print of the top is featured in a dress on the 13th model on the runway video)

My only gripe is that it is slightly flawed:

Ok, I could live with that: I totally adore the print and the fact that I finally have a bodycon fitted top. Mywardrobe still has the €60 when spending a minimum of €180 off until thursday midnight with code EURO60 (the code will probably pop off when you visit the site.

I think I took the last of this print, but they still have other Carven's, such as that fab Mountainscene print and others (link)
