CHRISTMAS TIME

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true oh
All I want for Christmas is you

Christmas is just around the corner! Are you excited? I'm going all 'Buddy the Elf' right now. And let's be real, when Mariah sings 'All I Want For Christmas' even the grinchiest Grinch starts to feel the love and beauty of the most magical days of the year.

Do you believe in the wonder of Christmas? I do. Guys, be compassionate and genuinely kind and you will be gifted with it! ;)

Ok, let's talk style! ;) The Maximilianstraße is not the Fifth Avenue and the Marienplatz is not the Rockefeller Center (it's better), but there is no other place I'd like to be at now... Munich, I love you!

I love the way you sparkle, I love the way you shine. Yes, it's snowing! Today my BF Martina and I walked around the Christkindlmarkt (traditional Bavarian Christmas market) after lunch. We had such a great time!)) The boutiques and department stores create such a festive vibe. I got some pictures for you dolls, a 'Luxury is beautiful' edition. ;) I'm also planning on doing the Christmas TAG this week, so stay tuned!))

SATURDAY NIGHT NEWS

Welcome to MaisondeM's Saturday Night News! ;)

1. Let's start with the ultimate piece of the day:
The super stunning ripped jeans with chain details by Saint Laurent
First of all, Maison Laurent is unbeatable with genius Hedi Slimane watching the throne. Every piece is spiced up with rock chic and unexplainable sexiness- Just like Hedi himself. ;) The most hyped piece of the week are definitely those insanely dope jeans worn by Kim Kardashian to Yeezy's concert in NYC. (rockstar Lenny Kravitz and beautiful fashion editor Barbara Martelo love them too btw).
2. Ultimate pic of the day:
Goddess Lady Gaga for Versace Spring Summer 2014
Her (sometimes) long blond hair, the style, the slightly rough glamour, the scandals... Yes, if there is a 'label metaphor' for Queen Gaga, it must be Versace. The new Lady Gaga ad campaign of the iconic Italian fashion house is perfection. She's back: New projects, the new album, hopefully many more legendary new music videos coming up and of course, unforgettable outfits! A truly successful collaboration, we can't wait for more Gaga for Versace. ;)
3. Ultimate Chill of the day:
Channing Tatum all over

Chilling and reading Tatler Russia... this is fabulous! I really enjoyed the November issue, especially the Channing Tatum feature. I literally had Channing all over my Tatum. If you don't get this one, it means that you don't know the 'Channing all over your Tatum' song... which is sad!)) lol Jimmy Kimmel is amazing guys, check it out! ;)

I hope you have a beautiful weekend.

LEIVANKASH & BLING

Jewellery-There is no 'too much' when it comes to jewellery. ;) I love it all!
My jewellery is a reflection of my mood, my current preference in music... it's me.)) When I have my 'The Black Keys' moments, I wear all black everything with sick studded boots and gunmetal full-finger rings and bracelets.

Then there are days when my morning starts with Maybach Music and Rozay's deep voice, I obviously rock some chunky gold and Versace rings.

As you guys probably know, I wear black pretty much 24/7. Because it's beautiful, it's harmonic, gorgeous and timelessly chic. My jewellery is my outfit. It turns a casual look into something glamorous, it can give me the Rock'n'Roll coolness or the West Coast vibe. When I tell people that I actually have a closet (!) for my rings, bracelets and necklaces... it definitely makes 'em roll eyes. ;) But it's my greatest love so... YOLO!))

Today I'd like to dedicate a post to one of my favourite jewellery brands: LeiVanKash. It all started when a friends of mine, my beloved Moscow It-girl followed the stunning Leila Kashanipour  (@leivankash) on Instagram. I checked her page out and fell in love with the star of her posts: The magically beautiful jewellery by LeiVanKash. Leila Kashanipour is gorgeous, super stylish, educated and she is also the designer and founder of the it-brand!

Fashionistas all over the world (from Olivia Palermo to Miroslava Duma) are obsessed with the variability of combo-options the pieces offer. It's like you could wear one ring, and you could wear 10, and it's still classy and chic. ;) These are the premier functions of jewellery: Style, statement & fun. I love everything they come up with. The feather and dagger designs are the centerpieces of the jewellery house.

www.leivankash.com

A LeiVanKash is the ultimate it-piece for a fashionista's Christmas wishlist. Ladies, start writing your letter to Santa! ;) Thank you dear Leila for this wonderful unique contribution to the accessory world, and also a big Thank you to THE SPACE Pop-up for introducing LeiVanKash to Munich.
Have a glamorous weekend!

RONSON

Good Morning Girls,

This one is for you! Let's talk men.... the king class only. ;) Have you seen the GQ (British version) clip featuring super stylish Rock'N'Roll coolness? One of the most perfect men ever is in it! Mark Ronson

Mark is so talented, gorgeous, tasteful, elegant, sexy... The Ronson is perfect. Today I will play Version (my favourite Ronson album) all day long.
With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you, don't you know that you're toxic? CHECK THIS OUT:

Guys, cool kids love Daniel Merriweather! ;) (iConcerts Mark Ronson: Toxic feat. Daniel, Wale)

Who's the hottie we adore besides Mark? Adam Levine! It was announced that the extremely handsome Maroon 5 Beau is the 2013 Sexiest Man Alive! CONGRATS Adam! We couldn't agree more... ;)
Enjoy the day ***

BOUND 2

Let's start the debate! ;) A screenshot of Kanye's new video 'Bound2' is already enough to predict the upcoming controversy. This is the magic of the West, Ladies and Gentlemen. It's the tough question: "Is this brilliancy, is it art or just overrated nonsense?" For those of you who need reconsideration... here is my answer: He is indeed a Genius with capital G, he is our Yeenius. ;) I played it 5 times and then I thought about it. I red the lyrics like it's a Shakespeare and checked out the video like I'm a Wintour. Honestly guys, I know how this sounds but... I feel the love, their love. The greatest proof for that is their incredibly beautiful North. I love Kimye! ;) Dolls, enjoy watching!)) And boys, let Kanye teach you how to style this timeless trend: Plaid. King West is wearing Ralph Lauren btw. The super dope tee is vintage Iron Maiden. Love, fashion and a motorcycle- Perfect 21st century fairytale. ;)

Have a beaut' evening

FROM GEORGIA WITH STYLE

Sometimes I wake up and something is missing... home. It's the most intense feeling in the world. I love Munich more than words could ever say, but still... I miss my family and friends in the Ukraine, I miss our get-together, the places, the Crimean sea, the music, the humor and of course the fashion! ;) These days require a home-tribute, a style tribute!)) Today I'd like to introduce my all time favourite Fashion Girls to you guys: Georgia Edition (the country, not the state)! I love Georgia, the landscape, the Georgian mentality, the beauty, the cuisine&wine... and the super well-dressed Georgian fashion girls!))
The gorgeous, beautiful, talented, stunning... Keti Topuria ( Кэти Топурия )
What makes her so stunning? Everything?! Her style is everything!) She rocks her husband's ripped jeans with a simple white T, cool eye wear and a Rolex-Cartier armparty. On stage (she's the lead singer of the legendary band A'Studio) Keti wears custom-made art works by Georgian designers and A-list labels like Givenchy, Tom Ford and Valentino. Her key-pieces are overknees, leather dresses, gorgeous jewellery and the most flawless make up and hairstyles. I admit, Keti's body allows her to wear pretty much everything. And still there are so many wow-chicks in Moscow, but when she's in the room... she's the one!)) I love her wardrobe! This autumn, Keti became the wife of Lev Geyhman . Congratulations to the beautiful couple! It was obviously the wedding of the year. For the marriage ceremony Keti went for a simple white dress and leopard 'Vans' (just like Pharrell's Celine favourites btw). Love it! The wedding celebration was royal and so was the dress: Haute couture for the 21st century it-girl... Elie Saab!)
She is such an inspiration, thank you queen Keta! ;)

One of a kind muse... Musia Totibadze ( Муся Тотибадзе )
You guys already know that Tatler is my favourite magazine ever. This autumn it introduced me to a very admirable talented fashionista of Georgian descent. She has this aristocratic unique beauty, she reminds me of a Georgian duchess living in NYC or something like that... you guys know what I mean, right? ;) Also she is an incredible singer and performer-love guaranteed! Without offending anyone, but I don't remember any girl of this year's Tatler Debutante Ball (yes, the Moscow high society is kind of like real-life Gossip Girl) but her. Whether it's a blogger girl from Munich or the great Karl Lagerfeld himself, everyone is amazed by the breathtaking uniqueness of a beautiful it-girl named Муся.

I hope you guys enjoyed the style inspiration... and maybe you consider a visit to Tbilisi or Batumi. It's beautiful!))
Have a wonderful weekend!))
Love

14.11.13 or ISABEL MARANT FOR H&M MÜNCHEN

05:45: I woke up... happy and excited... like it was the 24th of December. Last night I played 'Jamie Oliver' in our kitchen and baked a wonderful French pie, so my breakfast was perfectly delizioso. Girls, this is the secret recipe to be successful at the release of a limited designer collection: Sleep+Sugar!)) I dressed up quickly, packed my bag and went out! ;)

07:25: While we were waiting for the door to open, I checked the situation in Paris and NYC via Instagram and Twitter. The other girls were pretty stylish, wearing the epic Marant Beketts and popping Chanel and Louis V. We got an entry wristband for 9:20 (!), so off to Starbucks!))

08:00: The door opens! The chicks who showed up at 6 am, entered the Marant corner and started grabbing everything they could- a shop till you drop situation. We talked to some girls about their personal IMxHM it-pieces. Apparently everyone was crazy for the boots and studded heels.

09:20: MARANT-MANIA! After 5 minutes I was at the checkout, and then on my way home.

10:00: The adventure Marant pour HM continues: I'm on my phone and laptop going HAM in the online shop. ;)

10:15: It is done! ;) Ladies and Gentlemen, it's been a pleasure. The most exciting collaboration of the year, didn't fail us. Beautiful couture, fascination for fashion and many happy girls all over the world! Thank you H&M!

LOL I have to go to university NOW. How was your MARANT Morning?

Stay tuned for my post on the online order. ;)
Have a beautiful day!))

LOVE THIS LILY

Lily Allen always used to be one of my all time favourite Brit music gals. Back in 2007, when I got obsessed with Mark Ronson (still adore you Mark), I also fell in love with the style of a girl called Lily. She is super cool, funny, talented, stunning and a genius when it comes to the London Swag. Lil' Lily rocks some Air Max with the brand new Chanel bag and sings about the idiocy of the celebrity-culture hype. Her genuine love for fashion even made the Great Karl smile, while he photographed her for the 2009 Chanel Coco Cocoon ad campaign. Today I saw the video for her new single ' Hard Out Here '- I love it, love her, love the track! It's crazy, funky, fun and the fact that it already makes everyone start just another ironically serious emancipation-debate, is just SO LILY. The Brit Pop princess also paid tribute to Robin Thicke and his Blurred Lines with this funny lil' diss. Will sexy Robin be pissed?! I think he will love it! ;) (Everyone is crazy about twerking these days?! Thx Miley!) Lily the Great is officially back after discovering the beauty of motherhood.



Do you guys love the video? Her make-up is insanely awesome. Can't wait to rock some gold glitter and eye liner during the festive season. This woman is a gorgeous mother, a talented artist and just a cool chick, so let's just go hard! ;) So happy for you Lil'!))



Good Night

A PHILLIP LIM WEEKEND

via Phillip Lim

Happy Sunday Funday!
Yesterday I visited a night-flea market with some friends. The entire thing had a 'London thrift shop' kind of vibe: There were drinks, they played Lily Allen and Mark Ronson and the crowd was mostly consisting of beanie wearing hipsters. Carrie Bradshaw taught us the art of vintage designer shopping. I am majorly interested in vintage eye wear (especially the 80's Cartier shades) and jewellery (obviously Chanel).

Without any big expectations I strolled around the stalls. There was one woman selling a range of designer stuff. She had some Zadig Voltaire, some Armani and... one skirt... a stunning baby powder pink neoprene quilted mini with a black leather waist band, many zippers and buttons. Without even checking the tag, I knew that this was something to go for, and then I realised it was 3.1 Phillip Lim (current collection, never worn!!). JACKPOT!

Let's say I paid the price of a first course at a good restaurant for it- pretty much nothing! ;) I already have the occasion to wear this babe. I will go for a black polo neck, overknees and Brigitte Bardot inspired hair and make up. So dolls, If you search for the designer bargains, they will come to you as if by magic. ;) What is your greatest flea market catch, and where did you got it?
I wish you guys a beautiful Sunday!

NOVEMBER JAZZ

It's November!? Can you believe that? All we can do is embrace the cuddle season! What's on your schedule? My November will be intense, exciting and obviously fashion loaded. ;)Welcome to Maria's November Plan:
N: New Life! It's my fourth week at the LMU University. I'm so incredibly happy, it is amazing. I spend the entire day speaking English and  learning everything about the beauty of this wonderful language. My advice for you guys: Study something you truly love, it will change everything. I realised how great it is to finally figure out a way to combine work and pleasure. Tip: Visit some courses during your high school time, make sure the subject you picked isn't just good on paper. ;)
O: O la la! Isabel Marant pour H&M- Two weeks left! I'm so excited, can't wait to rock those heels the weekend after the release! ;)
V: Vegan! Around the first December week, the Russian Lent starts. There will be no meat till Christmas. Ho ho ho!))
E: Express yourself! Lately I purchased a new 1mx1m canvas. During the winter, 'more painting, less clubbing' becomes my motto. The inspiration is there, time to make it pop! ;)
M: Marry the night! In Germany, Halloween is celebrated as the weekend of Mr. Gross and Mrs. Scary. On my way to a Halloween party I was followed by a 'zombie dude' who kept saying 'My costume is so scary, right? I'm so scary!' Seems like someone scared the hell out of himself. lol My generation is known for dressing rather hot than spooky a la Regina George and Kim Kardashian. So I dressed up as my alter ego Maria Vanderbilt, Jay Gatsby's love interest. Long Island... here we go! ;)

B: Bravo CW! What are your favourite TV shows this autumn? It's The Vampire Diaries and The Originals right?!) I'm so excited for the next episodes! Team Maus! (Marcel&Klaus)

E: Evolution of Louis Vuitton. This was the most long awaited announcement in the Haute Couture world. Who will watch the LV throne from now on? We will miss Marc Jacobs at the great French fashion Maison, BUT the new creative director is actually one of my all time favourite designers... Nicolas Ghesquière! Nicolas The Great! When he designed the 'lego' sandal for BALENCIAGA, he won my heart forever. Perfect choice! I wish you the very best Sir. You're a king!

R: Relax! Dolls, remember to take some time for your gorgeous selves!))
Enjoy your November!
