Currently happening in the Design Museum of London is the “Unexpected Pleasures” exhibition.
The Design Museum brought together almost 200 bizarre and conceptual adornments to celebrate the work of contemporary and provocative UK joined by jewelers from all over the world.
So girls, it’s a fact, we all love jewelry but what is a jewel for you?
Radical statement pieces or objects with sentimental value? Ornaments with history or charms of precious materials?
The exhibition will last until March 3rd, 2013.

Happy new year everyone!
Hope you had a fantastic Christmas and a great new years party!
For my part, my wish for 2012 was simply to concentrate on what makes me truly happy, keep my eyes open for opportunities to do so and grab on whenever chance passes by. Sounds kitsh I know but try it for real, its not as easy as it seems!
Looking backwards, I think I did good! I traveled, felt in love, laughed, got drunk, met new amazing people, spent more time with my friends and family and left behind lots of things that made me doubt.
Starting to blog was a great step for me. I now realize how much sense it makes to put together my growing love for photography, fashion and design in one place.
Even if my professional life doesn’t leave me much time for blogging, reading other people’s reflections and thoughts after each post gave me a boost of confidence!! This year, my resolution is definitely to try to blog more often.
Whatever your wishes are for 2013, I hope you’ll go for them and live them to the full!
Here is a little recap of the year gone by:

Take 3 minutes and listen to this tune. I guarantee it will put a smile on your face.
The talented Ravit Sahar made us the honour to let us present a draft of the first song on her soon-to-be cd release … and to model for 1twistedsquare in the process.
Here it is: the sweet and sour sound of missed opportunities.

The Christian Louboutin exhibition, which opened at the Design Museum on 1 May, was the first retrospective of the famous high fashion/heels French designer in the UK.
Although they belong best on women’s feet, the iconic stilettos and lace boots were spectacularly exhibited by the Design Museum. Exposed around a three dimensional holographic performance by burlesque performer Dita Von Teese or on some instances in beginning of the century Parisian cabarets, illuminated in a playground carousel or displayed as fantasy creatures on mirrored pedestals in gardens from “Alice in Wonderland”.
Isn’t Mr Louboutin the first Gentleman on earth, adoring each women’s curve much and honoring their glamour, power and elegance with his red sole shoe?
I couldn’t be in London for this event and surely will still cry about it 10 years from now. I guess that the Design Museum felt my desperation as they gracefully offered me some wonderful pictures from the photographer Luke Haynes to share with you.

After a long time far away from the blogosphere, I am back!
If you happen to be close to me, watching through the window or wandering in the European streets, you are probably experiencing the same strange weather.
Sun, blue sky and in a second, things change, the sky becomes gray and the rain washes all the sunny day.
You have just enough time to cover yourself and find your umbrella that the clouds are gone and the sun is back…
Here is a look I can get used to for those days, when the weather seems to make fun of us.

One more place to see in London while you search for original fashion pieces is definitely The Laden Showroom. Situated in the heart of Shoreditch in east London, the store concept is to support and promote independent fashion designers and to showcase British fashion. Everything is in the details: bows, prints, versatile textiles, detachable collars… The shop is full of surprises like those fun and colored hangers or those polaroid pictures scattered here and there.

Textures, prints, extravagant colors, Japanese pendants, huge bows and plastic, Irregular Choice is definitely one creative brand of shoes. Though the associations of all those words with a shoe could sound synonymous to an un-wearable piece of fashion, This brand is here to make each shoe in their shop into a wearable and original statement piece for your wardrobe. It’s fresh and different and anti-conformist and it looks great every time.  
I fell in love with this British brand and once I got the authorization, I hysterically took hundreds of pictures in the shop. 
Take a look at Irregular Choice’s comics-like website! They have an online store with all the collection.

So you surprised your boyfriend on a rainy evening with nothing under your trench but some sexy underwear? Amateur! I did it at work!
With this oh so pretty La Perla bra and a few sequins popping out of an elegant suit.
If you don’t feel ready to try this at work yet, there is nothing to be ashamed off! Start safe: date, cocktail, evening out…
