Tilda Swinton for Pringles AW11


Pringles goes for Tilda Swinton and artist Jim Lambie once again for their AW11 campaign.
The new line evokes art deco geometric patterns which match Swinton's new look. The Scottish label is definitely taking a different direction...however I feel like they're going too Missoni don't you?

I love Tilda Swinton, she's one of the most charismatic and elegant actress around. I was amazed by her interpretation of a woman stuck in the Milanese haute bourgeoisie in 'I am love'. Watch this film, you'll get goose bumps! xx

Shopping in NYC 2.

Chelsea flea market and Antiques stores. (along 25th St)





the Antiques stores on 25th St (both east and west) are worth a visit. You can find lots of bakelite jewellery and vintage designer clothing.
Great vibe at Chelsea Flea Market, on Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 5pm, lively and eclectic, it offers good pieces of vintage furniture and clothing. Expect to find Ferragamo coats and 1960's Chanel suits (prices...well you can imagine...)
If you come out the opposite side of the market, on 24th, you can find a hidden gem. RonnieScot is a little vintage warehouse selling great old military clothing and many great pieces from 50's, 60's and 70's. Prices are reasonable and if you buy more than one item they'll give you a discount.
