Dior Haute Couture

Wedding season is here, and along with it, the big question of what to wear. There are so many different types of weddings—daytime, garden, beach, destination, or a formal evening affair so each wedding can often call for its own type of attire. I usually try to follow the old adage that it’s better to be overdressed than underdressed, but it can still be confusing to figure out to each event

Olivia Palermo's Shorts and Minis

Basic looks. We only need a good selection of pieces on our wardrobe: a couple of blazers in different colours, a pair of black boots, jeans, skinny black pants, flats, some miniskirts, white t-shirts and white shirts, and some others with stripes. The combinations are endless and adding some different pieces you can achieve a great look. Sometimes a really good outfit is easy to get, you just need the idea…

Here you’ll find an analysis of the most simple but stylish outfits worn by Olivia Palermo...

Olivia Palermo has an amazing ability to make very short shorts and skirts look tasteful, stylish, and feminine.

Color Crush: YELLOW

{Olivia Palermo in Yards and Yards of Silk Taffeta}

Yellow rarely tops my list of favorite colors, but I’ve noticed that I have been gravitating to it more and more lately. Slowly, but surely, more and more yellow pieces have been finding their way into my closet. It’s a universally flattering shade when it comes to clothing—try it, you might be surprised; and it acts as a great neutral when it comes to interiors. I think most of us, myself included, have typically thought of it as more of an accent color, but it pairs so beautifully with so many other colors. In the past, I’ve looked at yellow as a risky color because it seems like it could go one of two ways—completely awful or downright amazing.

"IT" by Alexa Chung

Alexa Chung has written "IT" (it seems that she does not like to be defined as it girl). You can book on Amazon, and will be released on September 5.

In the book, published by Penguin, the young British style gives advice (eg, how to choose clothes every morning) recommends trends in the form of a road map for your life style, with tracks on music listening and cool sites from collages. He has also illustrated the book, it is revealed that one of the things that give you best (you can see an example on the cover of Ctrl.Alt.Shift), and includes photographs taken by her. The texts are his, although it is not an autobiography. The online magazine of Tavi Gevinson, Rookie, has been one of his main inspirations when writing / composing the book, has said Alexa. Great sense of humor, and many images. En Vogue UK say that the book is halfway between a coffee table book and a small fashion guide.

Definitely an interesting book to learn more about Alexa's personal style, which both inspired us with their looks during the last years.

Successful People...

“I beg you: don’t buy society’s definition of success. Because it’s not working for anyone. It’s not working for women, it's not working for men, it's not working for polar bears . . . It's only truly working for those who make pharmaceuticals for stress, diabetes, heart disease, sleeplessness and high blood pressure.” – Arianna Huffington’s 2013 Commencement speech at Smith College

A Royal Wedding : Sweden's Princess Madeleine & Chris O'neill

This past weekend, on June 8, the country of Sweden celebrated a fairytale royal wedding . . .

Princess Madeleine, 30, the youngest of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia's three children, married London-born financier Chris O'Neill, 38, in Stockholm's Royal Palace.

The couple met in New York City, where the princess had moved in 2010, following a broken engagement and a broken heart.  Her first engagement, to Swedish attorney Jonas Bergstrom, was called off amid swirls of speculation that he had cheated on her.

The princess wore a lace gown designed by Valentino, who was among the many VIP guests in attendance, including royals from around the world, such as Princess Charlene of Monaco and England's Prince Edward.

Above, Madeleine's older sister, Crown Princess Victoria, with 1-year-old daughter, Princess Estelle, and husband Prince Daniel.

The dress was an elegant creation of silk organdies and ivory Chantilly lace, featuring a full skirt and four-metre-long train.

Following the wedding, there was a 21-gun salute, a cortège route for locals to view the new couple, a boat ride to Drottningholms Slott, and finally, a gala dinner hosted by King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden.

. . . and for the 60th anniversary of the queen's coronation celebration at westminster abbey, the duchess of cambridge arrived in an elegantly chic and delicate daisy lace dress with silvery grey ribbon, worn with a soft blush silk shantung jacket, both by jenny packham; but it was the twirled and woven half-updo with cascading dark glossy curls that captured our imaginations most . . .

Let's Celebrate!!!15th Anniversary of Sex and the City

Today, if today marks 15 years of the issuance of the first chapter of a series that marked a before and after in the world of fashion worldwide and, of course, wanted to pay my own tribute by making a post.

On this day it first aired an episode of the series Sex and the City, based on the book by Candace Bushnell. It aired from HBO and since then has only to reap success after success.

Carrie Bradshaw and her three best friends, aged between 30 and 40 years, exploring the role of being sexually active single women in the new millennium. The series became famous for recording scenes on the streets, bars, restaurants and nightclubs in New York City, while carrying another dimension of fashion and breaking sexual taboos.

This series is the largest advertising that has been done to a city and was never launched to fame of my favorite shoe designer, Manolo Blahnik.

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I prepare this post so special. This series has touched the lives of thousands and thousands of women worldwide.

Kisses and congratulations

Why not???

“My solo travels in Paris have brought many perfect hours of being alone but not a moment of loneliness. People who depend on other people are often in hiding from themselves. Two and a quarter million people live in the City of Light: you will see many of them and you will pass them in the street, but when you see Notre Dame after dark and walk home and perhaps stop to have a drink in the Marais, you can feel that the only thing that is missing from your experience is the common dependence on someone to distract your attention.  You are living without it: you are on vacation.” – Andrew O’Hagan
