Style crush: Taylor Tomasi

There's just something about Taylor Tomasi Hill. Maybe its her flame red hair or maybe its her choice of accessories, but I'm currently crazy over Marie Claire US' accessories editor.

For lack of a better word, Taylor Tomasi's style is fierce. Her distinctive choice of clothes and accessories such as chunky necklaces and to-die-for heels has got me stalking her style. I love the way she mixes feminine pieces with boyish items like piling a chunky knit sweater over a pencil skirt, or wearing a boyfriend shirt with skinny jeans and skyscraper heels. The fact that she looks so different but not unidentifiable in every photo also proves that one can experiment and dare to be different with your style without losing sight of who you are. Its no wonder that she's always captured on the lenses of street style blogs like The Sartorialist and Stockholm Street Style since she always looks fresh and different from the last time she was spotted on the streets!

Okay, that's enough of rambling. I'll leave you to enjoy the pictures!

Brand profile

I chanced upon the Danish brand STORM & MARIE recently and fell in love with their designs. 
Opposites truly attract and even complement each other in this case, as the designs are energetic, rebellious and untamed, yet delicate, chic and elegant. Designers Signe Elisabeth Vedel and Kim Vedel Hansen's shared vision arised from their passionate endeavour and twins (Storm and Marie).


What I like most about the brand is the clean and simple lines; the understated elegance and the balance between toughness and femininity. Once again, this is very prominent in Danish designs, but oh-so 
wearable.

Valentino Autumn/Winter 2011-12 Couture

The combination of delicate embroidery and sheer fabrics in this collection brought out the fragile beauty of the models. They looked graceful in the slim silhouettes, reminiscent of ballerinas belonging to a Russian ballet troupe as they glided slowly down the runway. Chiuri and Piccioli do all of this while staying true to the Valentino vision of femininity, incorporating the famous Valentino Red, lace and ribbons into this refreshingly light and luminous showcase of pure craftsmanship.

Clearly, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli are on a roll.
