Happy Valentines Day!

Wishing all of hôtel de mode's followers & visitors a very happy Valentines Day! I hope you all have a wonderful day with the people you love whether its that special someone or an amazing friend. Maybe Valentines Day has become very commercial, however I still think it's a fabulous opportunity to be thankful for those people who are also there to show you love and kindness.

Lots of love,

Mademoiselle Stefani

A little Valentines Day montage:

Love Actually Opening Monologue on Vimeo.
Opening scene from my favourite romantic comedy

Perhaps Disney has given me unrealistic expectations about love....

If only I could find a straight guy that loves reading Vogue as much as me....

I love collecting quirky little sayings and inspiring quotes. Here are my favs of the moment:

 There's just something about 11:11 which makes it more special than other times...

 From Adele's "Chasing Pavements" song - Fantastic stuff!

 I feel as though I can relate to this trying as I'm trying to figure out what I want to do when I graduate at the end of next year

 Something I need to keep in mind...

 If you saw how excited I get about the release of the latest Harper's Bazaar or Vogue you would understand why I love this quote so much

 She is such a wise woman

And this one is from the fortune cookie I had last night. I think it's one of my favourite fortunes yet :)

Weekend Inspiration

Finally the weekend is here! After a stressful week of uni & assignments I can finally relax.  It's a beautiful sunny Sydney spring day. Ooo that's alliteration :) The last couple of days I've really been into the luxe hippy/boho look - tie dye, bangles, turquoise stone jewellery, long flowing maxi dresses & skirts, loose linen pants, & flowing hair. I'm really trying to move away from the all-black look and going for something more casual. This spring/summer is all about understated glamour for me.

My fav inspirational pics/clips of the moment:

Can't get enough of Florence + The Machine's "Dog Days Are Over"

Drew Barrymore in Harper's Bazaar US October 2010 issue

Doesn't she look fabulous! That dress has such a 70s vibe.

Loving this boho skirt

Hermes - even they are into the luxe hippy look

Can't get enough of Frassy's boho look

Ashley Smith & Masha Novoselova in Vogue Turkey

So true!

Words about love

Le Love

Sad, beautiful and probably true all in one.

Flowers

WeHeartIt

Spring has me obsessed with flowers - especially roses & orchids. I want to put them everywhere.

Kaftans, Turban Headbands & Wedge Boots
Frassy
This look completely sums up what I'm into style-wise at the moment. I think it's the perfect look for spring. Check out Frassy's blog. Her style is the perfect combination of on-trend mixed with vintage to create stylish, yet unique looks.

The Script - For the First Time

I am obsessed with with song at the moment. I've played it over and over again for days now.

This pic of Anna Brewster
Studded Hearts
She looks so cool and I love the colour of her slightly wavy hair. And that coat!

The Future
Bella 185
I feel like time is moving so fast. It's scary but exciting the same time.

It's time to go start my day!
Busy day ahead - cleaning, studying and dinner with the girls tonight :)

I once had a teacher that said "If haven't laughed at least 5 times in one day, it's been a waste of a day". If true, I haven't wasted many days in my life. While laughing has gotten me into a bit of trouble at times, particularly back in school, I think having a laugh always make it much easier to deal with whatever life throughs you.
