Cro: Design Hotel

A few years ago I spent my Easter holidays in Hotel Lone in Rovinj, Croatia. The hotel is special coz it's a 5 star, awards-winning design hotel. Very likable and pleasurable. The space is free-flowing and bright. In the center there is a glass celling below which hangs a metal sculpture. Low sofas are arranged around tables on which you can write with markers.

I love all those plants and curved lines. The rooms are simple and stylish. From the outside the hotel looks like a cruiser.
"In addition to the hotel architecture, designed by the studio 3LHD, virtually all the interior design elements were created especially for Lone. The furniture was designed by Grupa Numen/For Use, the textile décor by the I-GLE studio, the artistic installations in the hotel are works by artists Ivana Franke and Silvio Vujičić, and the hotel’s visual identity was created by the agency Bruketa & Žinić OM."

Runway: Sleeping Beauty

I was so so sad when I read about the death of Peaches Geldof. Remember when I posted about my style icon Alexa? I mentioned that I like her friends too, and Geldof family is definitely on the list. So, here's a little style digest in memory of lovley Peaches.

Her style was retro and absolutely not masculine. She wore light and dark colours with bold pieces such as silver stilettos or blue purse as seen above. She wasn't affraid of wearing different matterials  and textures. I loved both her red carpet and casual looks.

 

 

Peaches was a TV presenter, journalist and model from the United Kingdom. She had two sons with her second husband Thomas Cohen from the band S.C.U.M. They were such a great and stylish couple. And so young...

Dark Room: Stars In Focus

Photo shootings of music stars are often tacky. Too much photoshop, unnatural postures, uninteresting background, overstyled clothes. So when I see good a good shooting, I'm thrilled.

Guys from pop band Hurts must be very inspirative, coz I looove most of their shootings. I'll post two of them here. What's so special about them? Firts of all, Theo and Adam look like models. Secondly, they are always stylish, so no hassle for the stylist. The third thing is their melancolic and somehow magic music, and that can be very well conected with photographs in terms of atmosphere.
