I haven’t seen the previous Lorena Sarbu collections, but this one caught my eyes with it’s elegant and stylish looks, so I decided to share :) Favorite pieces – the yellow mini dress and the maxi white one with gold accent sleeve.

One of the most amazing jewelry collections in one book – the Elizabeth Taylor’s one. The astonishing pieces include the 33-carat Krupp diamond, the La Peregrina pearl and some extraordinary works by Boucheron, Bulgari, Cartier, Chopard, Tiffany and many more. And here are some of my favorite examples from the book.

Taking cues from both the late sixties (when Valentino Garavani was one of the first couturiers to use logos on ready-to-wear) and the current runways, where sportswear classics are so in vogue, Chiuri and Piccioli put the focus on strong, statement outerwear. They turned out a navy cashmere coat trimmed in leather with brass turnkey closures and subtle Vs on the pockets; a mackintosh in sporty cotton camel, but with a couture shape; and a lean trench dress cut from green Chantilly lace and leather.
