From Paris Fashion Week

Sending you lots of love and macarons from an insanely hectic, fantastic, fun Paris Fashion Week! On the first night here I visited the huge H&M event with all the worlds fashion and movie stars and even did a little dance with Cara Delevingne and Lindsey Wixson. I'll tell you all about that soon. Best. Fashion Week moment. Ever.

Right now I'm on my way to go backstage at Roland Mouret - extremely exciting (and equally intense since I've been working until 02.30 at night. See, Fashion Week isn't a holiday but with better clothes). After that I'll meet up with friends (I'm here with Cindy and Chantal) for coffee and croissants and jump in a cab to go backstage at Isabel Marant! I couldn't be more excited. I'll be doing an interview for ELLE and photograph the toppest of top models getting ready for This chick's got style. Keep you posted! Bisous, Yara

My 12 best buys of 2012 + video!

Another year, another closet full of clothes. As 2012 comes to an end, I've started to reflect on a great year, and along with that my 12 favorite pieces. What did I get most wear out of and what will make many more appearances in the new year? It wasn't easy selecting 12 favorites (thank goodness each year adds one extra pick!), but I fought my way through my wardrobe and did it. I had to kill my darling  Proenza Schouler bag and Ecote leopard parka jacket in the prices, but here we go. And I'm curious to hear your top 5 buys of the year in the comments!

In the city

Recently I met up with The Styleograph to shoot together in the streets of my city. Christian turned out to not only be a great photographer - he travels all over the world to capture the well dressed - but fun company as well. I'm excited to show you this floral bomber that I think is insanely cool, comfy and well made and is exactly what I had been looking for. Can't wait for spring to arrive, so I can repeat wear it to death.

PS. I just got back from my spontaneous road trip to Paris and unfortunately didn't manage to post from there. I feel like a terrible blogger! A lot of posts are planned now and I'm closing off the year tomorrow with my best buys of 2012 and a little video! Bisous!
