{Gila}


I hope you all had a lovely weekend!
This spring, I will continue to sell my simple sweetheart neckline rompers in a slew of different shades. Some are made with vintage fabric, while most are embellished with vintage trims and buttons.
In these photographs, I am wearing my Embellished Gingham Onesie, available for $78 in a size 4, and a 1920's vintage headband from my favorite Argentinian shop, Gil Antiguedades. Please feel free to message me with any requests!

Tom Binns DIY...

.... with a little help from a friend! I talked shit about doing a DIY project back here - of course it never happened but I had a pleasant surprise when I unexpectedly ended up in Toronto for work this week and stopped by my BFF's for a little catch-up. Being the crafty and creative type that she is - she had crafted me my own Tom Binn's necklace out of 2 vintage rhinestone necklaces, plus some other bits and bobs she had kicking around. Amazing no? Had to share! I knew you'd love it too!


A peek behind the scenes Part 1

Behind the scenes of the Nadinoo SS10 shoot

It's difficult to think that almost this time last week we were running around one of Munich's theater halls finding cute spots to shoot the SS10 collection. It was such a lovely venue with great backdrops aplenty to shoot against. Here are a few sneaky pics I took throughout the day, our adorable model Kirstin Elfelt did such a wonderful job. She worked so well with the new look of the collection and put on a brave face despite the winter chill.  Since then we have moved to sunny London and unpacked into our cute new apartment with adjoining studio. I feel so at home already with the Flower and Broadway market just a few steps away. In true British style the rain has been persistent but my rose tinted glasses are securely fastened while I enjoy each and every minute.


Before I forget the Nadinoo online boutique is now up and running again, with half price delivery within the UK. I hope to start catching up on orders tomorrow morning, and will be sending out some special offers via the mailing list within the next few days.


Be sure to pop by later on this week when I will be posting Part 2 of the behind the scenes, can't wait to launch the new collection!

Lomo adventures, pt. 8 - Hearst Castle

We've been back from Los Angeles since Tuesday night but I've been on the verge of getting sick all week (and still am) so it's taken me a few days to get film developed... I finally got out of the house, so now I can share photos from our trip!

My favorite part of visiting Southern California was stopping at Hearst Castle... ahhhh - I want to go back right now! Actually, I want to move in!!!!!!!



We took Tour 2 - and I snapped about a zillion digital photos that I will definitely share - but in keeping with the Lomo adventure series, here all the film photos from the day!

Celestial Suite

And by far, hands down - the very best room in the house - the Celestial Suite .... 360° of those glowing windows - no camera could possibly capture the amount of warmth and just plain old dreaminess of that room. I died. Really and truly.


Okay, more to come! Fore sure you'll be sick of Hearst Castle when I'm through with you!

Blonde on Blonde


Marilyn Monroe:(1926-1962) The definition of a blazing superstar, beautiful Marilyn epitomized Hollywood glamour and sex appeal, with her turbulent life on and off screen. She was married and divorced three times, her most famous marriages were to: baseball star Joe DiMaggio from January to October of '54, and to playwright Arthur Miller from '56-'61. Her figure, of course, is the stuff of legend, measurements in her prime were given as 37-23-35. Certainly, no one will ever forget the night she donned a handmade rhinestone-encrusted Jean Louis gown, which she had to be sewn into, so she could sing a very sultry version of "Happy Birthday" to President John F. Kennedy, in 1962. In '99, that dress was auctioned off for almost $1,300,000, by Christie's, making it the highest price ever paid at an auction for a woman's garment.
"Fashions come and go, styles change hourly, but Marilyn is eternal" -Strodder.
