August 2012

August 31, 2012

I am so sorry in advance for my lack of posts from now until Tuesday, I will miss you dears so much and I will be back before you know it. I am visiting one of the loveliest and warmest places in Germany, a place where the weather is almost always nice, abbeys are converted into hotels and Castles, yes Castles jutting over the Rhein (a very long river) are a common sight. Gents and Dolls, I am minutes away from the lovely Rheingau.
Tomorrow I will do an Inspired Post on the other big thing Rheingau is famous for, or should I wait until I am back?

Making the right Fall Statement

August 30, 2012

Do you have what it takes to make a statement? Prepared or not, Fall is quickly approaching, clothe your body fashionably in a bold statement coat like this. Like this Trussardi white and caramel, napa leather and cotton coat. This two-toned trench is truly an original! I simply would wear it for every day of Fall, whether or not it weather calls for it.

Fashion Flashed Backwards

August 30, 2012

In 2004 Dolce&Gabbana´s FW2004 collection was all about the sixties. I know it sounds like nothing novel because the sixties are all the rage this year, but back then it was, well somewhat new! Unlike the collections of today the FW04 was more directed towards the cheesey (harsh word) elements of sixties fashion to create a creative style mish mash. It consolidated the mix and the match, somewhat like a Korean Pop Romance. Part vintage, part Star Trek, part S&M collection sort of a collection.

Hanging by a thread… and quite literally. This Jean-Baptiste Mondino chandelier editorial spread featuring a haute couture gown is exceptional.

Editor´s Shout Out.
Hello wonderful persons currently reading my blog. I really appreciate you coming here daily, because I love you and without your support I would literally just be talking to myself.

The blog isn´t even three months old yet, but we have reached over 500 LIKES already on FB, I know that some of you are following Seed of Style on Twitter and Instagram, too. I love what I am doing and I love reading your comments, please don´t stop, keep them coming! If you have any suggestions or if you want to be featured, just send me an email here

Brussels kicks NYC ass on any day of the week

August 28, 2012

I never thought I’d end up saying this, and I know I will enrage everyone who so blindly follow the hype of the clichéd Big Apple (rightly named concrete jungle), but seriously Brussels is the real capital of cool. Sorry Jay-Z, Ms. Keys I hear you, but the only place I will be dreaming about is Brussels – you can keep your concrete jungle dreams (no offense). I know I am being hard on New York, I bare it no ill, it´s just that I have been to and even lived in Manhattan, and I was and am not impressed. Sometimes concrete jungles aren´t pretty or cool, just cold.
