Dream make-up


Jessica Lowndes, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

OK, just one more celebrity photo today, this time of Jessica Lowndes. The reason I am posting this is that this is truly my dream look: this is what I'd like to look like every day. So this is the kind of make-up I need to work on. I wish I had her freckles too...oh well.

Her lip make-up here is from Dior.

One last photo of Drew Barrymore. Note how gorgeous her profile looks in this photo. And I think that since she's *not* a model, she looks great, e.g. her arms are softer and more feminine. Her top is Dolce & Gabbana, skirt (with Swarovksi chrystals) is by Louise Goldin and bangles by Alexis Bittar. It's really the bangles that I love in this photo. I like the way the ring she is holding echos the style of the bangles too.

Another photo of Drew in the same dress (see previous post). Few clothes to me are to-die-for, but this dress is one. It simply amazes me.

Drew again and still looking amazing. Love the hair, love the dress by Julien Macdonald (it costs 2394 US dollars - so I won't be buying it anytime soon).

Beige is the new black

I adore this outift by ChloƩ. Makes me want to break out my knitting needles too...


Moschino, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

I simply adore this look, it's amazing! I also read in one magazine that you could do this as a DIY project by attaching old earrings to your clothes.


Gucci, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

To me, this Gucci outfit and even the hairdo are simply perfection.


Sneakers, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

I love these colourful sneakers - which are of course always in fashion. Must admit that at the moment, I don't even own a pair of sneakers. I had a white pair but they get dirty so easily. Maybe I should just go for fuschia next time.


Leather skirt, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

I love the utter simplicity of this look. I've always been a huge leather fan so there's many things to love this season.

I saw this photo exhibit a while back. Photography was not allowed, but here is one photo from there. The dress is made of leather and the belt is wood or a rattan of sorts, quite exotic. I did not have my scanner set up at the time so that's why I am so late posting this...


Amethysts, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

These are actually amethysts, so they are purple. My scanner changed the colour. I just found out yesterday that my birthstone is in fact the amethyst (for Aquarius) and not the garnet (for January) as I'd previously thought. Good, I much prefer that.

This cool shoe is from this year, love it. Not sure if it's possible to walk with this though. The shoes are by Alberto Guardiani, you can read more here:

I love this fluffy boot from 2005 by Sergio Rossi.


1997, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

These shoes are from 1997. I don't necessarily love them but they are just very interesting. There are flowers inside the plexi heels.


1987, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

I love this look by Azzedine AlaĆÆa. I like the dress more than the shoes in this case. This is from 1987.


1973, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

I luuuuuuv these shoes from 1973.


1966, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

These boots are made for walking, oh yeah! Nancy Sinatra from 1966.


1950s, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

These are shoes from the 1950s. The gold shoes are by Ferragamo and Marilyn Monroe wore them in the movie "Bus Stop". The red ones are also by Ferragamo. They are covered in Swarovski crystals and Marilyn Monroe wore them in the movie "Gentlemen prefer blondes".


1948, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

This look is from 1948. I actually love the skirt even more than the shoes.


1930s, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

These shoes are from the 1930s. I love the brown ones.


Late 1920s, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

I adore these shoes from the late 1920s - I want a pair!


1910, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

I love these suede booties from 1910. The booties in the front are women's and the booties in the back are men's.


1900, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

This photo is of a lady from 1900, but the style is men's fashion from 1700.


Around 1875, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

These booties are from around 1875 - love 'em!


Late 1800s, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

These gorgeous booties are from the late 19th century. I'd love to have a pair.

I had borrowed some books on shoes from the library and will post photos of shoes that I like from every decade.

What an amazing pair of shoes! I do hope some day to own a pair of Manolos.


Cherries, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

Another fabulous shoe drawing by Manolo.


Mango, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

I love the simplicity of this dress by Mango.


Manolo, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

I'm crazy about Manolo Blahnik's drawings - and even his gorgeous handwriting. I borrowed a book of his drawings from the library and scanned some of my faves. So many more of these are coming.


YSL, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

I love this photo and this YSL look; it's simply perfect.


Wynona, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

My husband is back from India finally, which also means he set up my scanner for me. So I am now able to scan pictures from magazines and books also. This is the first of many to come...

I love how Winona Ryder looks in this ad for Chanel perfume. However, what I love most about this is her necklace. I don't even know if it's by Chanel or not.

These photos are from the filming of the first Sex & the City movie, but these scenes never made it to the movie. However, this is the luggage I want. SJP is wearing Chanel.

Dinner, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

Perhaps the perfect dinner for one.


Moomin, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

We rented the apartment we currently live in furnished, so the owner's things are also there. It is so full of Moomin things that I call it the Moomin House.

I found this photo in the Purse Blog. Louis Vuitton designed a customer travel case for the World Cup trophy. Cool!

House, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

This cute house is in a park right next my office in LeppƤvaara, Espoo, Finland. I walk by it every day.


Dress, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

This is not a very good photo since it's taken while window-shopping, but I simply *adore* this dress! I don't know who it's by, I walked by the store on Sunday so it was closed.

Some more nice buildings from my neighbourhood. There is a pink sign that says anna, that's a Finnish women's magazine.
