Notebook pages

Here are my latest finds and news from fashion, style, films and beautiful living.

• L’invitation au voyage: I know you’ve probably seen Louis Vuitton’s new advertising campaign film, but it’s beautiful and I wanted it on my blog. Arizona Muse’s elegant outfit is to be admired too.

• You’ll love this, I promise: Mad Men‘s Christina Hendricks talks vintage clothing
• Although too photoshopped for my taste, I like the idea of dapper elegance evoked by Karlie Kloss in this Vogue China editorial
• Donna Karan on the business of fashion and what it’s taught her
• Fawlty Towers is my all-time favourite comedy series. The best kind of British humour. I think it would make a great Christmas gift too.
• Giorgio Armani in 24 hours
• I like leather details on knitwear, like in this Tommy Hilfiger jumper
• For those of you who like fashion history, Decades: A Century of Fashion, by Cameron Silver, a showcase of the past hundred years of fashion, decade by decade, is the latest title added to my wishlist.
• Roasted pumpkin is one of my favourite desserts (plus you can’t get a healthier one than that), but I think I would enjoy to try some other recipes from The Compleat Squash
• Lisa has reminded me that I would like to redecorate our hallway and I’m leaning towards something simple and elegant

Have a great weekend!

PS: Are you among the lucky ones who are now the proud owners of a (or more than one) Maison Martin Margiela for H&M item/items? By the time I could log in to their website yesterday (first being placed in a queue, then busy day), everything I wanted had been sold out. Would love to hear what you’ve purchased.

    I really love that vintage talk with Christina, Ada! I did not purchase anything from H&M, I saw some picture from the shop when the collection launch and I got scared, the queue was crazy :))))

    Loved all those vintage items that Christina Hendricks was showing – and that jewellery was absolutely gorgeous…That Vuitton video is too beautiful not to include! I love Arizona’s hair, jumper and skirt and heels – just too cute. Donna Karan is amazing isnt’ she – age and size are just numbers! She always sounds like she’s full of energy. Love the sound the Decades book- will wait for your critique as usual! Great links Ada:) PS: we don’t have H&M here but if I could I’d love those flexi wedge boots or pumps and that glove clutch – the leather and colour look so beautiful. And the red hitched dress looks like an entrance maker and also that narrow shoulder jacket too! I’m sure some items will start to appear on ebay in a couple of days like when Stella McCartney did her collection for Target some years back. Have a great weekend Ada xx

    The LV video is of course gorgeous but I absolutely loved the interview with Christina Hendricks. I want to go hat and vintage shopping with her … it looks like so much fun!

    You know how much I love your links. That book by Silver looks very interesting. Please let me know what you think of it when you get it. Now it’s time for latte and I’ll read the Karan and Armani interviews while enjoying it.

    Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for the link love! I get the feeling that soon we’ll be hallway-happy.

    Happy Friday Ada! Love the links, Donna Karan is right, be comfortable with what you wear, I couldn´t agree more! That LV voyage is absolutely dreamy, wish I could take a journey like that 🙂 xo

    Finally I managed to watch the video and check some of the links. Wonderful selection! As for h&m, I logged in several times yesterday and everything but the clutches was there. I looked at the shoes and suede jacket because they were the only things that I liked, but it was just a “like”, not “love” and quite overpriced, too, so I didn’t get anything.

    Wishing you a wonderful weekend, Ada!

    HI Ada! Oh, that video is some kind of magic indeed. Imagine ballooning over Paris! Thank you so much for sharing.

    And Faulty Towers is brilliant. Excruciatingly so! Love it.

    Have a beautiful weekend!

    I enjoyed this interview with Donna Karan, she is such an inspiration. I loved Fawlty Towers too, John Cleese is a brilliant man! Hope you’re having a lovely weekend xx

    Thank you for sharing these stylish notes, always a pleasure to read them! PS: I got the two pieces that I really wanted: the blue oversized jumper and the black fitted jacket. This made me feel so happy despite the fact that I had to get up at 5h00 (I had a work meeting at 11h00, so I had to take one of the first tickets…)
