Girly cases & fancy weekends

♪ Caro Emerald - Back it up ♪

You know me and my obsession for girly stuff (it's always so sweet to see my photos reblogged on Tumblr with captions like 'sweet' and 'super girly!!'). I haven't always been like this, I told you before, it's just that I choose to surround myself with cute and sweet things just to bring some sparkle and sunshine in my life. Whenever I'm tired or super busy (like I was this weekend) I like to take a break and maybe spoil myself in some outrageous yet super fun way- so what if I have to girly illustrations in my room or a pink Marc Jacobs ipad case? The little things really count and yet I was lacking something- a super cool phone case!

Iconemesis just happened to contact me at a right time and I was so happy of the prospect of this collaboration. This UK-based brand has the most fancy and creative designs I have seen in a while! It took me a little too long to decide which one I would like, I mean they don't have only pastel-toned cases and I was thinking to choose something edgier until.. I found the Fifi Lapin cases! Sweet Heaven of girliness, I can tell you for sure, and I was so confussed which I would like to have. In the end I found this adorable case with bows all over it and I concluded that "less is more"!

I love it so much, and yet as I was writing this post I noticed that they have 20% OFF at everything , so I'm really considering still getting a Fifi Lapin case. Therefore, I made a collage and I would really apreciate your advice, it's just that they are all so cuteee:

Lovely, lovely , lovely- right??

Have an amazing week!

PS: Thoughts on the new banner , anyone? Should I change it back to the old one?

Apple on Apple

I believe fashion counscious people are always open towards new trends. When I decided it was time to start my own fashion blog it was because I felt I couldn't relate to the term "fashionable" in my community.

There are many people who don't understand the term TREND. I can't define it even at this moment, because it's something tricky in it. What is it about trends that makes people all over the world want to buy a maxi skirt  or clogs? Is it a good PR strategy or designers just make the best of certain patterns/colors/clothes?

I've always said to myself that I would not be the type of person who wears a thing just because it is IN. However, I do appreciate one thing about trends: they made me realise that some things can be really fun to wear.

Take this clutch/bag for example. I got it with the Nina Ricci perfume couple years ago and I didn't like it at all. Yet, this fall, when sparkles and glitters were all over the stores, in magazines, on fashion blogs it occured to me that I could wear it in many enchanting ways.

As for the Ipod, I love it because it's the closest thing to Iphone. I am a huge Apple fan (although I own  a Samsung Galaxy S II)  and the new Iphone 4S seems just amazing! They're definetely great products, and I love the quality and the design. I found this site with all kinds of phones at great prices, who knows, I may actually get one in the future.

My question is: 

Are there such things as FASHION PET PEEVES or the trends just make us be more open?
