Guinevere by Meisel + Westwood plastic shoes + cute animals charms + current dream coats

I'm in love with these Guinevere van Seenus images on the current edition of italian Vogue. Photographed by Steven Meisel, the american model with dutch roots does what she always did best, which is sensuality without a drop of vulgarity. Pay attention to the 1930s inspired sheer blue dress she wears in one of the pictures (the entire shot can be seen here). Read more on Guinevere on a previous post of mine.

Plastic Mary Janes by Vivienne Westwood

I don't really like the idea of wearing plastic shoes, not even if they have the signature of Westwood, though I did wore plastic shoes during my childhood in the 1980s, oh well. The british designer was in São Paulo yesterday for the launching of classic Mary Janes reproduction plus some other shoe design. She said she's always wanted to work with plastic, but never accomplished it, and only recently in Brazil she found the right technology to work with the material. In the words of its own creator, these shoes are "modern, possess quality and above all, are democratic". The shoes will be available at brazilian stores in march, and in july in the rest of the world, including Westwood own stores. More interesting than buying those shoes though, is attending the "Vivienne Westwood Shoes - 1973-2006" exhibition, that takes place during the current SP Fashion Week, in São Paulo. The exhibition includes 147 shoes, including those infamous platforms that made Naomi Campbell fall down in the middle of the catwalk in the 1990s.

Cute animal jewelry

Last sunday at a museum I saw this girl all in black wearing a huge golden necklace with a quite noticeable bear pendant on. Grizzly bears are so cute, and even cuter are teddy bears pendant charms. I have a little silvered one I never wear (I might start to soon), but I'd also love to have something of the sort:

I'm going through this weird phase of liking cute and kitsch things, even while decorating my place, I don't know what's going on with me, maybe after one year in Denmark, the whole kitsch house like thing has brainwashed me somehow. Well, it's only a little, so it must be harmless. Anyway... A bambi or a bunny pendant charm are so cute as well.. (I hope it's not only me that thinks that).

Three winter coats I'd love to purchase right now:

(1) Purple by Marc Jacobs
(2) Red by Miu Miu
(3) Black by Alexander McQueen

P.S.: The bears were photographed by me last fall.
