Earth tones, grey shades and nostalgic music. If you needed a reason to depress this fall winter 2008, Burberry Prorsum FW 08 09 will provide it easily.

Skinny shiny flare pants, dark tops and long necklaces matched with what people already called an off-trend – the maxi-bag (being in this case a messenger bag, a far from original style, but nonetheless adorable to me). It’s not ugly, it’s just depressive, dark and dull.(after the picture you can find the entire fashion show clip)

Now this is what I call living in a crazy world! Like it’s not enough already getting used to wear contact lenses, now you can have jewelry contact lenses.

It’s made in Holland and wears Erick Klarenbeek signature. Attached to your contact lens you can have pearls or other gems like it’s nothing! Luckily it’s just a concept (for now). Could you wear such a thing? I find it hard to believe it’s not getting in the way of your sight. What do you say?

I usually don’t do men fragrances but this time it was different. I found the article about this exclusive Guerlain Homme and I couldn’t resist it. It was so glorifying and written in that impossible to overlook kiss blogosphere style that stole my eyes. Even if now I want my 2 minutes back, I’ll revenge the lost time by writing what was most important in that page and half article:

It’s about a Guerlain Pininfarina design and about a smell that’s meant to be calling out the animal lying in every man. Sounds more like a Werewolf story to me, but I hope it smells better than announced. It’s an herbal scent sprinkled with rum and rhubarb. What kind of perfume do you prefer for you man?

I may not be the greatest dancer but I know a good song when I hear it and dancing it becomes a must.

Antonio Banderas may not be the greatest singer, but Cancion del Mariachi is more than a song. It’s that guitar. It’s that passion. It’s that celebration of life and love. Beyond designer clothes and heavy tagged products lies life. Simple and beautiful. You just have to know how to live it. How to dance it! Enjoy Desperado’s Cancion del Mariachi by Antonio Banderas!

Androgyny is still running hot the upcoming season. One more proof – Giorgio Armani’s advertising campaign for Fall Winter 2008 2009.

Sure there could be something more specific since it’s a Vogue China scan, but I’ll keep looking and updated if something new comes along. The Giorgio Armani FW 08 Stam has nothing to do with the Jessica Stam I like. She looks more like a suffering adolescent (I give in to the obvious pleonasm, but it was required). Armani, for the suffering teens. I was used to a different Mert and Marcus. Do you like the new ads?

I have a weak spot for Sasha’s smile. Even if I find her thin beyond compare, she manages to make me forget that when she smiles. (I could think of several songs with that tagline, so it’s not unusual after all. Maybe they all thought of Sasha when writing those lines).

Steven Meisel did a great job with these simple black and white photos. I would’ve fired the hair stylist and hired someone with actual talent, but hey, it can’t always be perfect, right? Actually, taking a better look, the pictures don’t even look like an ad campaign shots. Everything looks so relaxed. Is it your feeling too? Or it’s just me and my Sasha indulgence?
