Victoria Tuaz wears Peter Jensen Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 collection.

It’s not every day that I fall madly in love with a fashion label in a matter of micro seconds, but it certainly looks like this is such a shameless case today. Namely, Peter Jensen’s Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 collection is simply fantastic! Running high on the innovation factor, the Danish-born designer’s signature is his mischievous touch on each piece of the collection creating something slightly twisted, but always youthful and super refined.

Acne’s New Age Nude

Acne Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010

Acne Tender Print Bodysuit

Browsing through Acne’s web store gives me a headache all the time. I can never just choose one piece I love the most. So here comes today’s double trouble: Acne’s new age inspired tender print body suit (USD$239) and trinity print catsuit (USD$239). With its wild tattoo prints stamped all over the body, the only word that I can think of is rad. Whether worn alone by itself or over a nice jacket, these body conscious pieces create the perfect curves to stop the traffic.

Day For Mother’s Day

Danish label

Printed silk chiffon blouse by Day Birger et Mikkelsen

Mother’s day is just around the corner and although I am still quite caught up with RAFW, forgetting my mighty marvelous mother shall not be on the agenda this year. Detected on the fashion radar is none other than this beautifully printed silk-chiffon blouse (USD$260) by Danish label DAY Birger et Mikkelsen. It seems like this sheer blouse is made especially for my beloved one. Namely, its delicate light brown and green paisley print exudes subtle femininity; while the dreamy pastel-blue shade gives off an ever so calming aura – hence, capturing two of her most charming qualities altogether. Well… Is this made in heaven or what?

Available at net-a-porter.

P.S. This gift comes in extra handy in times of emergency wardrobe raids.
