thebrandnewwishlist

I think it is the right time to publish my Wishlist for 2011 :)
Again no shoes or bags as they are always in my wishlist...


I want a stylish, quality audio system.
We like listening music or watching movies at home so why not do it in a stylish way with much better sound quality.



I have been following the fashion weeks online the past years and this year I want to see a major one personally, preferably in my favorite city New York, but Paris will be welcomed too :P



Lately I am into bracelets, I would like to own one (or more) from CC Skye.



Dinner@Mikla, well better the tasting menu with matching beverages... Would like to taste what the super chef Mehmet Gürs is to offer...



Neither a diamond ring nor jewellery, all I want as accessory is a Hermes watch. But could not decide yet whether
I want the Cape Cod or Hermes H Hour?



A stylish pair of dumbells... My dumbells have been lying in our living room so why not have something stylish just like the ones by Philippe Starck.

An espresso maker so that I do not have to always go out for a tasty latte. I love the retro ones but they are quite expensive so better an affordable DeLonghi.




Lots of books about fashion, lifestyle, architecture... Glad Assouline opened a shop in Istanbul and I hope their books are affordable.





And last but not least lots of lots of travel :)




I hope you all have your wishes come true in 2011...
Happy new year!!!

riva

Yes again another Chanel Nail Polish. But this time it is just the starting point of my story :)



Riva Nail Polish, first presented in Chanel 2011 Resort and part of the Cote D'Azur make up collection. I love the soft color and I wanted it since I saw it worn by the models in St. Tropez. Perfect matching for Karl's Resort Collection. And luckily this time I don't not have to wait for it :) I am sure there will be similar and much pricey alternatives within next months but I could not resist :P



Enough about the nail polishes... I want to write about Chanel's Resort 2011 Collection.

"
It was like something out of a quintessential Riviera movie. With the sun setting over the sea, hundreds of Chanel's invited guests sitting in the red wooden chairs of Saint-Tropez's famous Sénéquier, and many more onlookers piling onto balconies and pressing against barricades, Natasha Poly, Anja Rubik, and the rest of Karl Lagerfeld's cast arrived at Quai Jean Jaurès via speedboat. And like the carefree starlets and jet-setters they were channeling, the models traipsed down the street-cum-runway often barefoot, wearing seventies-ish diaphanous caftans, long crocheted dresses, ruffle-lapelled silk jersey trouser suits, and patchwork denim skirts.... "

Style.com's review expressed the mood of the show perfectly.
There was nothing new but it was like a jet-set movie you want to be part of... He sure knows how to do it his own way...

For more go check the video in Garance's post, lovely...
