LOVE

Never thought I’d say this but I love this Louis Vuitton bag as well as the entire Fall 2010 campaign. To see more, visit Sarah Klassen Haute Design and be prepared to spend plenty of time there as this girl has tons of gorgeous photos and inspirational ideas on her blog.

GIVEAWAY alert: chic additions to your home and a few pretty temptations

Those of you who’ve been following newfashiontodayblog for a while, probably remember that I have a soft spot for pretty cups and tableware, so when I was offered to tell you about a company who sells these (and many more) things I was too tempted to resist. CSN online shops are like an on-line mega superstore where you can spend hours and hours browsing and choosing beautiful pieces for your home, from tiny additions like cutlery, pretty cups and coasters to more substantial ones like furniture and lights.

Needless to say that my first stop was in the tableware section where I was happy to find my favourite Guzzini babies (these cups are super adorable and make me smile every time I use them) and Le Creuset cookware (LOVE the orange pieces)  that are now a part of my kitchen and make my cooking hours even more enjoyable.

What I also liked about this particular store is that it has something for every style, from classics to art-deco to shabby chic to super modern. The furniture and lights can also suit every taste and budget.

Sounds good, right? Now the best part or the actual giveaway. :) CSN kindly offered to give voucher to one of my lucky readers from UK, USA, CANADA or GERMANY. The value of the gift voucher is 30 in a currency of your country.

All you need to do is to visit CSN UK, CSN USA/CANADA or CSN GERMANY and leave a comment here saying what your dream buy would be. The giveaway closes in 7 days and the winner will be picked on Monday 21 June 2010 with a help of random.com IMPORTANT: unless you choose a “FREE DELIVERY” item you still need to cover P&P costs.

Good luck, darlings!!!

The most beautiful medusa ever

I was very excited to hear that Natalia Vodianova is going to play Medusa in Clash of the Titans, a remake of the 1981 film, which will be released in March 2010. Here is a quick preview with Natalia appearing in the video at 1:44.

To find out more, visit this website.

Video via youtube.

Focus on: socks and shoes combo

Socks and shoes... Separately, I like them. Together? I am not sure I do. I am not sure I'd ever wear mine this way unless I am in a Russian countryside or about 8 years old and none of these events is likely to happen any time soon.

What about you, darlings? Would you or wouldn't you? It is certainly a great way to bring your favourite summer sandals into autumn and use them to create yet another look, but do you think the world is ready for this trend or...?

6 things that make me happy and awards

Today it's all about me, me, me and again, me. Very selfish and indulgent, but may also be informative for those who would like to read some personal stuff.

Sarah, who's got a beautiful and super stylish blog Sarah Klassen / Haute Design tagged me to tell you 6 things that make me happy.

1. Love.

Elle Italy Feb 2009

Being in love, being loved and seeing love around in any form.

2. Travelling.

Unknown

I adore getting ready for our trips, planning what to wear, booking hotels and tickets, getting up early in the morning to go to the Eurostar, spending time in a different country, discovering new places, learning, soaking up the atmosphere... And as I said in one of my previous posts, "when you life is packed in a suitcase you get the best picks".

3. Working out.

Vogue Italy

It makes me feel relaxed, strong, sexy and beautiful. And of course, happy.

4. Cup of white tea my husband makes for me.

Vogue US 2008

Very English, very nice, very special.

5. Snow.

Hermès Fall/Winter 2006

I miss it so much that every time we get some in England I feel incredibly happy. The world becomes so quiet and beautiful.

6. Sleep.

Vanity Fair 2009

It probably sounds borderline silly, but I do need my sleep. Ideally, 8.5 hours. I get really grumpy and miserable when I cannot have my simple pleasure and feel blissfully happy when I can.

Now I would like to tag all my followers to tell about their 6 happy things. Please let me know if/when you do. I'd love to read your posts!

Lovely Haute World (if you haven't check this blog, please do, it's the best and only shopping guide you'd ever need and the articles are fabulous!) gave me this award - thanks so much, darling! It means a lot and is very special to me.
