The Birds and the Bees.. MAGIC

Good morning people. It's finally Friday and I can't wait to catch up on so major needed sleep, laziness and probably lots and lots of DVDs. I am getting old. I can't neither party as much as I used to, nor as often. So I decided to no longer fight it, and just give in to my body's needs. (I'm considerate that way... what??? I am.. honest.. sorta.. oh leave me alone..).
Haven't really been updated with the fashion world, or the random world, or any world for that matter, and that's because I've been living in my own little bubble.. mentally... and in the real world I'm just working and working.. and working some more. So now that I'm trying to get back on track, I wanted to share something with you. Won't get into details, but you know the stories of the birds and the bees? Well my little darlings, the fashion world has gotten familiar with it too. When designers, bloggers, singers, celebrities and big fashion brands come together, fireworks, magic and champagne bottles are the result. What am I talking about? Simple. Some pretty darn impressive collaborations. Here are a few of my faves.

• Jewellery brand DANNIJO and internet celebrity and blogger Rumi Neely.
  I'm already coveting a few things especially the double ring. I'm in love...



• Swarovski and Karl Lagerfeld.
  Actually Swarovski is collaborating with more than one designer, I chose to ignore the others :) (I'm biased that way.. sue me). So since cuffs are big this season here's one to love. ($335)

• Beyonce, Temptu and Deréon
  Beyonce and Temptu worked on temporary tattoos for a shoot for Deréon. They turned out so beautifully that they decided to sell them. So I say, So long pretty dainty Chanel chains and pearls.. Hello dark and bold bolts, jewels, spiders and chains.

• Lanvin for H&M
  I like to save the best for last, and I'm telling you Lanvin and H&M in the same sentence? That's music to my ears. The collection hits stores November 23rd. Not sure about Beirut though, even though the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection was released her.. Oh well.. Fingers crossed people. Check out the entire collection here and weep. And check out the video.

That's all for now.. I'm sure there are many collaborations, but it's almost 11, I'm on 4 hours of sleep and I actually have work to do. Thank God it's Friday. And because I heart you all I am going to share one of my new song obsessions, Kanye's Runaway.

Hibernating soon,
Bambi

No sense of Bravura!

Good morning! I woke up in a good mood today. Had 7 hours of sleep and I'm having Starbucks. Long live caffeine! Wasn't going to post anything today until I came across something a friend posted on facebook, thought it was funny enough to share with all of you! Aren't I just lovely??

Karl Lagerfeld’s top 5 tips for surviving the credit crunch

1. Don't eat. Eating is so Seventies and this is today. I eat only celery and even that I am not enjoying. Pale green is so uninteresting.
2. Dismiss your assistant chauffeur. No one has an assistant chauffeur anymore. Assistant chauffeurs are so yesterday.
3. You do not need more than 200 white shirts at any one ti,e. Anything more is excessive. I threw the rest of them away when I hear of the arrival of the credit crunch, and I tell you I felt so good about myself.
4. Forget charity. Do you want to encourage beggars, hmm? Of course, you do not! It would be different if they possessed any sense of bravura, if they styled themselves on the Ballets Russes or they came out onto the streets with the Audrey Hepburn look. But they do not. The only charity that is acceptable is Save the Tiger, because - at all costs - we must not let lose the real tiger fur. I just adore it. It's so chic.
5. Never travel first-class. It is so common. No one should travel first-class, with all those strangers with their coughs and their germs.
   No: a private jet or nothing at all.

The website I got the above from is pretty cool, if you haven't come across it already then I insist you do. It's called adinnerguest. Ok people and now for the music part of this entry, I've never mentioned him before but I am today. He's Lebanese and he lives in Canada and he is absolutely effing brilliant. His name is George Azzi, and while today's song is a cover for Damien Rice's Blower's Daughter, you have to check outt his YouTube channel and check out his other covers (such as Jazson Mraz's I'm Yours.. it's better than the original.. I promise) and his original songs. He's going to be big I tell ya!

And so it is,
Bambi
