The Koh Samui boutique is one of my favorite clothing stores in London, located in Monmouth Street, Covent Garden. Since I moved abroad, I have been following the Koh Samui clothing through its online website, however it has been a while now that I didn’t hear anything from them, so I’m afraid they closed the store. For any of you who knows this boutique and has some info about it, please let me know.

The image below, taken from KohSamui.co.uk, reflects the style of its store. You’ll hardly find dark color items in the shop. Koh Samui boutique also attracts loads of celebrities around the world, and selects the most amazing pieces from designers such as 3.1. Phillip Lim, Chloe, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Derek Lam, Tsumori Chisato, Dries Van Noten, Marchesa, Eley Kishimotoand & Vintage clothing.

 

 

This amazing Louis XIV style closet & chair, the pink ombrelle and all those beautiful pastel color shoes and dresses also reflect the style of Lady Marshmallow, and therefore I had to share this image with you all.

 

 

There are some amazing websites where you can find a wide selection of French Louis XIV style furniture, such as The Lavender Barn Shop,  The Belle Escape,  Mixing Club.

The outfit is from Boohoo.com, and Chanel 2.55 white bag.

After browsing around Lookbook.nu (the internet’s largest source of fashion inspiration from real people around the world), I needed to alert those of you who are not aware of this website, as it’s extremely inspiring and useful. I even get more ideas watching at all this girls (also boys in the site), than fashion magazines, before going shopping, plus they don’t only show you the image, but they also tag every single item they are wearing, and let you know how much it cost and where it is from.

If you also think that your style could be inspiring and wish to share it with other people don’t hesitate in registering to lookbook.nu, or if you prefer just to have a look, go ahead and HYPE your favorite style.

Please find bellow some of the most popular styles in Lookbook;

 

 

The image regulations are quite strict, you have to upload images of yourself unless you own a clothing label and a model is wearing your items. The images must be from head to toe. If you wish to be a member, you just need an invitation, and this you could get it directly writing to lookbook.nu contact service.

Some of the girls who upload their styles, work, study or simply love styling and fashion, some of them just have a natural talent for looking great. Loads of them have blogs, others not, they are just people like you and me, that could become the new fashion icons.

All images are property of  the members of Lookbook.nu.

Here it’s a little article about my favorite vintage outfits worn by celebrities.

The first one I must admit that it’s just what we could say, the lucky one, why didn’t I find it before. This is something very common that happens when we go Vintage shopping, as there is so much out there, that we can’t really figure out what to search, and sometimes just miss out the best pieces.

Reese Witherspoon, wore a vintage Christian Dior dress from the 1950s at the 2006 Oscar’s Ceremony. She bought the dress at a vintage shop in Paris. She received the Best Actress prize for her character in Walk the Line.

Su Goodacre is a London based friend and artist. I had the chance to meet her at a party in 2007 Cannes Film Festival, and since then she has become not only an adorable good friend but also an icon. She’s such a bubbly, caring and loving person, full of adrenaline and originality, and being in her presence is simply a gift.

I admire her personality, her style, her voice…. without no doubt, a unique person devoted of many talents.
