I am sure that almost everyone knows the iconic double pearl earrings – big pearl behind and small pearl on the earlobe! A lot of brands offer that style at the moment. And yes its innovative and classic at the same time. It puts the pearl stud we all love for its beautiful surface and its power to illuminate our teint in a new and modern context. But above all it removed the not so nice looking back closure that has always been an integral feature of stud earrings while making them as pretty from the back as from the front. But do you know how the idea for this style was born?

Dior tribal earrings & more – 2014 in review!
Christmas is officially behind us and I feel that its time to sum up the year 2014. About a year ago I started writing my blog and I really have to admit that it enriches my life enormously. Despite of that, 2014 marks the end of the blog in its present structure. Considering advise of several friends I am going to discontinue the „beauty“, „interior“, „food“ and „travel“ sections to concentrate solely on fashion! However, the content from the discontinued sections will continue to be available on the page! Ok, but what I really want to do today is reflect on what happened in fashion in 2014!

Dior gum tee shirt earrings the star of Dior’s new pre fall campaign video
Everyone, who knows a thing or two about Christian Dior, the heritage brand owned by the LVMH luxury conglomerate and modernized under the creative direction of Raf Simons, might have heard about their series of campaign videos entitled “Secret Garden”. The videos lensed by Inez and Vinoodh usually show the brands pre fall collection against the backdrop of the Château de Versailles. In 2014 we are in season 3 of “Secret Garden”! I personally like the videos a lot. They have something surreal, fairy tale like so reminiscent of Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland.
