Fashionable iPhone covers

Hi guys!
This week I was wondering about how much iPhone covers are important for an iPhone owner and how can they set the trend right now.
The most asked smart phone is iPhone 4G and is selling too much from the very first day of its launch. And since the purchasing is growing, makers of mobile phone cases did their superlative to make cellphone cases for iPhone 4 G.
When you buy an iPhone the first thing you'll buy as well is a cover that represent you, your lifestyle and also your nature. So it's really hard to find the right cover for you!
Well, two days ago I was wandering on the net searching some covers and I found a fantastic online shop called  All that you ever wanted. I totally loved their covers at the first sight, they are fashionable, glamour and nearly unavailable in the shops. They are a bit expensive but really cool and I think you will find several of them that suit you perfectly! When you will buy one of them you are ready to hit the street and go wherever you want, also to a glamour social event.

Below you find my favorites.

Ponchos and leather mark Hermes show

In his third collection for Hermes, the house of the jet-setting fashion buyer, Christophe Lemaire flew business-class to Argentina, where he reworked the iconic Gaucho look in an accomplished fall-winter display.

The first piece introduced gentle, hanging silhouettes: a long fringed cape in navy blue was worn like a South American poncho. While wide low-slung pleated gaucho pants mixed with sumptuous nude leathers — the house's signature material — that were so soft, they moved as if they were living and breathing. There were nods to the season's must-have, the boxy-jacket, with one charcoal number reworked on a high white collar, in the style of Spanish equestrian garb. But Hermes, in typical style, was all about comfort. The relaxed look was perfected with subtle contrasting pieces: a coat was so cool it hung from one shoulder, yet also had the fierceness of a matador cape. Lemaire's interest in orientalism is nothing new. But Sunday saw the theme restyled in a series of pajama-inspired dresses with intricate Persian prints that could be worn by women of all ages. And indeed the show saw models in their 40s walk down the runway.

I would apologize about the low quality of the pictures but I can't find better one.

Men's S/S 2012 Outfit Ideas

It’s almost spring and I’m sure you’re wondering: what am I going to wear when the temperatures are starting to rise?

Well, I hope you have enough clothes from last year. Remember that you have to have a timeless wardrobe if you don't want to seem out-of-date. If you did that last year, this year you shouldn’t have too much to worry about… except maybe buying this or that.

Let’s see where the designer houses are steering trends away THIS year. And we’re going to start with…

D&G
Lots of colors and lots of foulard prints in the D&G collection. They propose a very relaxed look this year and, trust me, you’ll feel relaxed just by looking at the clip below:

Did you notice how much denim they have? Ok, we get the hint!
Here’re are some more interesting things I noticed with them:
  • Those waistbands on the pants really make for a casual look. If you’re looking to look really casual this summer, you probably need a pair.
  • The hats look great but what’s even greater is the way they matched them with the rest of the outfits. It’s worth taking another look at the clip just for this.
  • I spotted a really nice pair of moccasins as well as some butt-ugly sneakers. As style hobbyists we have to learn to separate the good from the ugly.
Gucci

Classy as always, Gucci is showing us some really nice sports jackets along with well fitted rolled up pants. You can really see the difference by comparison with the D&G collection from before.

One of the best pieces in my opinion was that gray glen check suit, black moccasins and light blue shirt. I’ve also seen a glen check sports jacket paired with solid grey chinos, if you’re not a “suit guy”.

I noticed very few colors if any. Mostly black, white, grays and some brown. That’s Gucci all right.

One outfit did catch my eye as it took the black tie dress code and gave it a twist: black dinnerjacket with silk lapels, white shirt, black bow-tie. So far so good. Then glen check pants, black shiny penny loafers and no socks. Is this the future of black tie?

Overall, you’ll find Gucci to be a good business casual inspiration, as always.

Ermanno Scervino

This show by Ermanno Scervino can teach you one great thing if you watch it: how to match grays. Totally love this designer.

Vivienne Westwood

Although I wouldn’t wear most of these outfits on the street, they did gave me a few color matching ideas.

Bottega Veneta

This is probably the most balanced collection that we’ve seen for SS 2012. It’s balanced, wearable, not too much color and most of the outfits have good contrasts. If you’re looking to get inspired this summer, you should definitely watch it.
