Saturday afternoon

"Sometimes we need to stop analysing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens." Carrie Bradshaw

 

That's my mood today and this is what I'm wearing this afternoon, a silk printed top, heels you already know, forgot to show you the blue shorts.

 Have a nice Saturday!

Charlotte Casiraghi on Vogue Paris

This editorial expected on the September issue of Vogue Paris dedicates Charlotte Casiraghi to becoming a new icon of style and beauty like her mother Princess Caroline, was at her age. Like any icon she is that naturally. An unstudied elegance, a gentle sensuality make her admired by the girls all over the world and in the shooting signed by Mario Testino and styled by Emmanuel Alt, emerges a feminine girl, who doesn't folllow fashion trends: somehow she looks at old glamour given by classic clothes with a touch of personal taste, in a cool posture, with an intellectual-chic way of being.
She wears basic pieces carrying forward the French and Italian heritage of well-dressing: Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Balmain, Isabel Marant, the highly-appreciated-designer-in-Paris Giambattista Valli, Alberta Ferretti, Valentino, Versace, Pucci, Gucci are her favourites and her choises in the pubblic events and in her casual looks.
Which is your favourite picture, guys? I love how she looks lay down in the Alberta Ferretti blue dress.

Dreams VS Real Economics

The pictures are from Valentino Haute Couture collection, a symbol of an intimate luxury, 
reminding of an aristocrat woman of Russian origins, who wears light but hyper-precious dresses
with romantic and flattering shapes.
 Couture is a privilege for few people and we all can only dream of it, but to be honest, in these times of financial and economics crisis, I relate in particular to the public debt crisis that is involving Italy (but also Usa) and the consequent always growing fiscal pressure, the fall of the stock exchange indexes (FTSE mib in Italy) and the high levels of volatility, the growing spread of Italian government bond yields compared to German's ones, judged to be in decline, the negative opinions of American rating agencies on Italian markets and the speculative attacks, and more concretely,
a problem that concerns the whole Euro zone,
the widespread unemployment from which only Germany seems to be safe,
Greece and Portugal seem to be closer and so on...
I don't want to bore you...I feel that there's very little space to dream.

 (you know I have sometimes a critical approach to fashion, though knowing that fashion is besides a big game, an industry with many employees)

Do you have some considerations about it?
I think young people must have "broad shoulders" for the future.

Summer Set 1

 

This set contains my latest obsessions:

My favourite shopping bag at Prada's, the colour matches with anything and it's very handy. I'm appreciating the ease of a bag more than the shape and I have a thing about shoulder strap.

The mini by Missoni (I'm looking for that), very sexy, so also during the day we add a  bit of colours in a black-oufit, it would be perfect also with a white shirt to wear knotted in the waist.

Something sheer like that shirt.

And a pair of simple black sandals but without a stiletto heel.

Inspiration from Milan

Pictures by Tommy Ton (from Style.com)

I love the absolute freshness of the first and the last pictures, what do you think about?

They remind me of those feminine clothes we can find in our mum or grandma's closet, aren't they? 

 A style that is never unfashionable, just matched with new accessories or revised in a contemporary key,  like the mini dresses made of white laces proposed by Dolce&Gabbana for this summer
(Anna Dello Russo wears an embellished version, with swarowski, in the picture).

I find also that an elegant note is in the effortless way the girls wear in.
Plus j'adore the hair cut, terribly chic!

Versace and H&M new collection!

Lovely things

Have a look at these heels from River Island (65£), I find they are really lovely and I'd like to buy them.

 Why doesn't it ship to Italy?! Suggestions to know how or where to buy them (aren't even sold on Asos)?

And have a look at these very nice Isabel Marant-style jeans from Asos (46$), really the exact copy.

 

The now idea

Among the fashion-shopping-resolutions of the next summer - actually I always thought about it but never did - there's the idea to customize a pair of jeans shorts, preferably white, with pins, studs and some little chains to have a light punk effect. Not too many. And some tears.
Is not so difficult, also for those who have never taken a needle in their hands (me!).

This pair is from Balmain, don't know the price but guess they are not exactly cheap, Balmain is a little overpriced, isn't it? :). Maybe these are a little too much customized...what do you think about? 

Have you ever customized anything? Am always tempted!

If I will do it, it's a promise, I will show you them!

From my wardrobe: Ici Bon Ton

TARA JARMON TWEED JACKET bought in Paris

I love this kind of jackets, to wear with shirt, jeans, heels and a long chain. I'd wear them every day :)

Tara Jarmon is a brand I really like very much, 

a very chic Parisian style (I liked visiting regularly the shop on the Champs).

Fausto Puglisi Skirts

Hi guys,

sorry for the lack of posts, I have had a very busy week! In the brief spare time I have discovered these: the perfect skirts.

The mini skirts are from Fausto Puglisi, very talented young designer avalaible at Spiga2, the concept store signed by Dolce & Gabbana to promote emerging talents. Here you have some pics of his wonderful couture creations and it's not a case he's loved by Madonna.

 

Pictures from Vogue.it

I don't think will give in to the upcoming trend of the maxi skirts, even if I like the movement they create around the figure overall when are light, silky, see through and pleated. Think I will buy only  short skirts, to wear with something masculine. The mini is always more desiderable in summer. I look forward it comes!

And what about you? Are you gonna buy maxi lengths or are for mini?

Inspiration: High waisted jeans

Daily Obsession: Jil Sander

Jil Sander shorts

I'm crazy for Jil Sander spring summer collection, love the bright colours and these shorts are my last obsession. They are too cute, aren't they? Unfortunately I didn't find my size on Net-a-porter. @à#[%£!

On December I went to a private sale in Jil Sander shop in Milan and there were only clothes from the runway or almost, many 38 (Italian size) and beautiful shoes 39-40 and more...(I have a small but not so small! and normal feet) so I found nothing. @à#[%£!

IS THIS A CURSE? @à#[%£!
