Top 3 Inspirational Finds You Want To Repin Today!

Browsing high and low on the vast alleys of Pinterest I usually come across visually breathtaking images, amazingly creative finds, mouthwatering kitchen experiments and generally all sorts of wonders.

Yesterday I said I would try to share these wonders with you, every day I can, get together some of the most wonderful pins I find&distribute back to the inspirational pincrowd! Today I couldn’t decide on just one, so I went for three. I’ll start with this gorgeous pair of shoes – it appears I’m on a footwear spree today.

How about these cute Valentino espadrilles? Part of the Pop-Pois collection, the beauties, available in six pretty summery colors are definitely not your ordinary espadrilles. And that’s not just because they come with a fancy Valentino label!

It’s also because they’re made of silk! Yes, the usual cotton fabric was replaced by this luxurious silk to make your feet feel in Heaven while wearing the rope-soled espadrilles. You know Fashion isn’t about novelty but about expression. Expressing the same old comfort in a new, luxurious way seems the secret modus operandi that Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli believe in whenever they draw or design anything under the Valentino umbrella.

I feel we talked about lingerie so many times before, I don’t need to bring this topic into discussion again. And again. However! (you knew it was coming – wink) I found that the devil is in the details and every tiny stitch counts for the overall comfort feeling. And if a pair of jeans can be slouchier than the next one, we can’t have the same applying to our undergarments. Lace, silk, ribbons and all the wonderful frilly things making a lingerie so beautiful can never be labeled with ‘slouchy’. Or worse: boyfriend style.

Yeah, it definitely looks better on the big screen, a girl in a men’s boxers. But from there into reality, into the everyday reality, like going to the office with a pair of that underneath your skirt… well.. I think I was descriptive enough!

So girly lingerie it is! Stella McCartney, one of the most accessible and enjoyable fashion designers today (remember she’s bff with the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson) released her lingerie collection for the new 2013 season (that’s fall – winter 2013 for the fashion amateurs out there who still think fashion follows the weather logic).

I’ll start by saying that I really like Milla Jovovich. Just to take any doubt out of your mind when reading these lines! But this cover is… umm odd? To put it lightly, elegantly! Milla looks like someone very expansive and jovial in her every day tasks and her curricular enterprises so far, but this is way too expansive. Way to jovial. Jovovich-ial.

Vogue Turkey’s May 2013 issue revolves around music and Milla is no stranger to that field as we all know it. More so, it seems that she has a new album ready to be released this month? Good for her! But really, that pose? Not such a good idea, fashion-wise! There’s no word about the photographer yet, but the cover line for Vogue story reads ‘Natural Disaster’. Quite appropriate, isn’t it? After the jump you can see two more previews from the pictorial, nothing to lift off the ‘disaster’ label from the cover! But do please argue in favor of this hysterical pictorial, I’m open to suggestion!

Call it a Sunday after hours, or a new Frizz series, this is another foray into the wonderful world of Pinterest, that nice little oasis of all things inspiring and beautiful I like to sink into few times a day.

As such, I’d like to share the inspiration and the wonderful finds by sharing 1 to 7 inspiring images, items, moments I came across on the great alleys of Pinterest. Today I started out with 7 because I wanted it to be a ‘Sunday after-hours’ more than a ‘kick-start Monday’ which I already did (by the way: how did you like ‘Soothe My Soul’?). Too much talk, let’s take a dip in the creative pool:

How do you feel about Feather Earrings? We talked about this kind of earrings before, here I am at it again, with a lovely pair of leather feather earrings from Love at First Blush. Fabulous handmade earrings designed by Sabrina Chin (one look at her designs was enough to leave me drooling… ahem dreaming about every single one of them! A girl after my own heart!)

My dahlings! Every Friday Break, to me, is like therapy room: I come clean with all my musical obsessions. And music, to me, was always an obsession. An addiction of you will. If I’m sad or feeling low, music will certainly help with that.

When I was …errr… younger?, I had this strong obsession for Depeche Mode. It was before my trip hop years and it was the perfect electronic prequel to that. They always knew how to perfectly balance electro with pop and especially rock. And this year they released a new album: Delta Machine. Needless to day it’s on heavy rotation on my playlist!

Amid the amazing pieces on this album (I must say I only had eyes for the good reviews. And there were many of them!) there’s one I particularly keep on playing and replaying. It’s really invigorating (for me) and makes for an hour of cardio. In 4 minutes. Not bad: Soothe My Soul, Depeche Mode. I do hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did (give it time, it gets to you) and I also hope it’ll help kick-start a new wonderful week for you! Now hit the jump and press play!

I listened to one of her backyard sessions a while back, and Miley Cyrus sounded really talented to me. I’m certain there’s real substance to her fame, although she rised to it through the Disney channel. So did Britney, Christina Aguilera and Ryan Gosling. And they’re not doing that bad for themselves right now. Au contraire.

Now: since she grew out of the Disney channel and into semi-adulthood, Miley only made the news front lines with her haircuts and her on-and-off engagement/wedding. Rumor has it that momentarily the wedding is off. She’s still on with her beau, though. And in case you’re wondering, yes, it’s the same boyfriend she’s had for a looong time: Liam Hemsworth.

But Miley Cyrus likes to keep it controversial. So her latest magazine pictorial, shot by Jan Welters for Elle UK, the June 2013 issue, looks daring right from the cover. Right from her laid back attitude and her up-to-her stomach cleavage. Which, honestly, doesn’t show much either way, so every time I end up wondering why she sticks her chest in everyone’s faces… then again, I prefer her’s over Kate Upton’s any day!

It’s no secret that Butter London makes some pretty nail polishes. And more: A-Listers, designers and fashion people all over the world keep enlisting in the ever-growing army ranks of Butter London fans!

Why wouldn’t they, after all? They’re free of the famous harmful ingredients (Formaldehyde, Toluene, DBP or Parabens), a 3Free formula that many nail polish giants still haven’t adopted yet. Their range of colors is, I’m certain, a nail Heaven many nail fanatics dream of owning in its entirety. Including yours truly!

Now here’s another dream nail polish from Butter London, something of a beautiful sparkling purple entitled Pitter Patter (something I’m certain Kate is already experiencing, fully – ‘the pitter-patter of little feet’ in her stomach), dedicated to the Royal Pregnancy. Duchess Kate has fans in the Butter London board of directors: such loyal admirers that they’re willing to name a nail polish in honor of the wee royal-to-be! Only available online, the $15 aubergine shimmer gorgeousness looks like Royal gold to me!
