DENIM

Everyone knows denim - one of the best fabrics out there that matches with every single thing!

This season, you should wear this trend more than ever.

Try pairing it with other denim pieces or with nice cropped tops.

From pants to shorts, from tops to dresses, anything can be made out of denim!

MAGDALENA FRACKOWIAK

Born on the October 6th in 1984, this beautiful 28 years old model came from Poland straight to all the most important runways in the world.

When she was 16, her mother encouraged her to participate in a modeling competition in Poland and she ended up in first place. From there on, she began working as a model but her real international career only started in 2006 with a cover for the Italian Glamour magazine. A year later she was opening the show for Yves Saint Laurent in Paris.

Now, she "ranks 23rd on the TOP 50 Models Women list by Models.com", as said here.

Frackowiak is Steven Meisel's, Terry Richardson and Kar Lagerfeld's muse and she is one of the most wanted faces in the world's fashion industry.

STREET STYLE - TRAINERS

This trend popped out this Winter and will stay with us for Summer.

This is literally about casual chic: trainers with chic clothes.

You can now forget for a day your sky high stilettos and wear a pair of comfy Nike trainers with your favorite Alexander Wang skirt or with your favorite J Brand jeans.

Here is what I call a casual chic look.

There are Summer Festivals all around the world but here is my TOP 3:

1. Coachella

Picture from here

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is one of the most famous festivals of the world. 

The first Coachella Festival was in 1999 and The Chemical Brothers was one of the bands that took part in the Coachella's lineup of that year. This festival only got to happen again in 2001. 

Since that year it has been happening every summer. 

Daft Punk, Madonna, Coldplay, Radiohead, Björk, Amy Whinehouse, The Killers, Jay-Z, Muse, Gorillaz, Vampire Weekend, David Guetta, Kanye West, Mumford & Sons and Kings of Lion are some of the bands that had the opportunity of playing in this festival.

The Coachella 2013 has already happened but the dates for next year were already said: 

Weekend 1: April 11-13

Weekend 2: April 18-20

2. Lollapalooza

Picture from here

The Lollapalooza started in 1990.

Names such as Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Killers, The Smashing Pumpkins, Muse, 30 Seconds To Mars, The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Lady Gaga, Fun, Calvin Harris and Two Door Cinema Club have already entertained the Lollapalooza fans.

This Festival takes place in the USA, in Chile and in Brazil.

3. Glastonbury

The Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts was created by Michael Eavis in 1970.

I strongly recommend you to take a pair of great wellies to this festival otherwise you'll find your feet covered in mud.

Who played in this festival? 

U2, Coldplay, Beyoncé, Gorillaz, Muse, Kings of Leon, Jay-Z, Arctic Monkeys and many others.

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!

This week I was more into blue... 

Not that I have been feeling blue, 

but for some reason this color deserved my attention.

Matthew Williamson clutch; Acne ankle boots; Zara sunglasses; Matthew Williamson sweatshirt; Zara Parka; Kenneth Jay Lane earrings; Bounkit ring

HAVE A LOVELY WEEKEND!

PYJAMA PARTY

Everyone knows what pyjama parties are and most of the girls have already had one.

What we did not know was that we could keep the party on the streets...

Street style has a bunch of amazing things and the pyjama style is one of my favorite styles, not because I like it (I actually don't like it) but because I can imagine how hard it is to put a cohesive outfit together and look good with this trend.

BREAKING NEWS: D&G IN JAIL

Two of the most known fashion designers, Stefano Dolce and Domenico Gabbana, have recently been "sentenced to 20 months in jail for hundreds of millions in tax evasion".

"The pair were found guilty Wednesday of failing to declare €1 billion ($1.3 billion) in income tax to authorities. The court sentenced them both to one year and eight months in jail."

From Zero Hedge 

"A court in Milan ruled that the pair had sold their world-famous brands to a Luxembourg-based holding company in 2004 to avoid declaring tax on royalties. They were also slapped with a suspended fine of €500,000 owed to Italy's national tax agency."

TAKE CARE!

CLUTCHES

Shoes are probably the most important accessory in an outfit, 

but the bag you wear should be just as important.

This post is about clutches - the mini handbags you wear to summer parties by the pool or to cocktails.

Perfect for summer, these clutches give that somethin' somethin' to your look.

Down below, there are some examples of different clutches. 

Some are more sophisticated and others are more playful.

SANDALS

Sandals are the type of shoes that go along with everything.

They can be either casual or formal.

Pair it with a nice maxi dress or with some jeans and you will go from night to day.

Here are some of my favorite sandals of this season:

1 - K Jacques St Tropez 2 - Rupert Sanderson 3 - ZARA 4 - Ancient Greek Sandals 

5 - K. Jacques 6 - Giuseppe Zanotti 7 - Jimmy Choo 8 - ZARA

HAVE A NICE WEEK!

LACE UPS

If you are into Fashion, you've probably already heard about the fever of the lace ups.

There is not much to say about this. 

Just grab a good pair of shoes with laces pair it with some jeans and magic happens!

KHAKI

Khaki is now called the new neutral and I couldn't agree more!

Khaki is that color that goes with everything - from leather to denim, from white to black.

Even though this color is related to Winter parkas, it is perfect for Summer.

Vogue Paris presented an editorial dedicated to khaki, camouflage and all military related tones, which proves the importance of such color.

If you are tired of making beige combos, try to wear khaki - the results will be as good or even better!

SUNGLASSES

Sunglasses: what an incredible piece!

Who would say that sunglasses would actually make a difference in our outfits?

Everyone should have a sample of it.

There are so many different styles you can adopt just by wearing a different  type.

Down below there are some examples of the different kinds of sunglasses you may found at the market.

1 - The Row 2 - Prada 3 - IAMITALIAN 4 - Thierry Lasry 5 - Miu Miu 6 - ZARA 

7 - Mango 8 - Prada 9 - Saint Laurent

This Summer you don't really have to be concerned about a particular trend because designers were not that picky on this and so shouldn't you. But one thing I've noticed is that there was a preference on the black rectangular sunglasses with appliques - Chanel and Prada are the perfect example of it.

UNDER FLOWER ATTACK

I can't say that this trend is a new one, 

because we all know flowers are always among us during Spring and Summer.

But we also know that the fashion world is not known 

by producing the same things over and over. 

So, why do we keep staying under the flower attack?

Well, for designers and stylists, "flowers" is just a word that never changes 

but the way you interpret it can and should change.

Even though we keep seeing the flower patterns of last Summer, we can now see few huge prints of one color flowers or appliques* of those all over dresses, shirts, skirts, t shirts or sweatshirts.

*the few appliques we can see this season

SCISSORS MADE

Last year appliqués were super in but this year a new trend is taking the lead.

FAVOURITES OF THE WEEK

Here are some of the pieces that caught my attention throughout this week.

Zoe Karssen cotton-blend sweatshirt; Isabel Marant wedge trainers; DKNY silk shirt; Marc Jacobs patent-leather tote; Elizabeth and James embellished tshirt; Proenza Schouler leather satchel

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!

FRILLS

Let's go from fringes to frills.

This Summer, as you have already probably noticed, it is all about movement.

Thankfully, designers did not opt for only one type of movement.

In the case of fringes, the movement is a real movement; but, when we are talking about frills, we are referring to a static movement. 

It does not have to be completely static, but it shall not be as dynamic as fringes are.

LOOKS

Here are some of the looks we have chosen for this week:

Rebecca Minkoff dress, Alexander McQueen clutch, Alexander Wang wedges, Jil Sander coat

BCBG Max Azria dress, Alexander Wang sandals, Tom Binns necklace, Alice + Olivia jacket, 

Pamela Love ring; Saint Laurent ring, Michael Kors clutch

HAVE FUN!

FRINGES

Fringes may take us to the 20s but it is not what this trend is about.

It is only about threads all over a skirt or a dress.

Threads can be either shining or opaque, you should only care about the movement of your outfit.

60s

Let's start the week with a brand new trend: the 60s!

Last years it has been all about the 70s, the 50s and the 20s but now Twiggy's style is back!

Showing off your waist is not how this trend is supposed to be stated. 

Actually, your hips are the spotlight in this trend.

Find a dress with the seams a little lower than usual or pair a sweatshirt with a skirt and add a nice belt.
