Hello beauties
how was your week-end going? Hope everything fine and relaxing!
Few days ago I had the chance and the big pleasure to go to Mantù press day. Before enter I already know that the Spring/Summer collection 2014 was beyond beautiful... And so it was.
Dzemal Mahmutovic, Mantù designer, for the new collection took inspirations from walking down Mantova streets at dawn, being impressed by contrast between the historic monuments and the surreal atmosphere of the first morning hours. Mantova seemed, at his eyes, animated by colors dim by the soft haze.
The things that I adore the most about S/S collection are the superimposition of fabrics and the delicate transparency that create new volumes in the most feminine way. Elegance and simplicity are the keywords, that find another confirmation in the palette of colors chosen. Opaque colors and platinum mean the solemnity of the time that goes by, yellow, fuxia and turquoise that give a touch of freshness and the black, synonymous of elegance par excellence.
I really like the soft but well defined shapes, the silent and eternal elegance and the fascinating volumes that characterized new Mantù collection, Dzemal Mahmutovic was able to create a new woman that has her roots in the past, in that sophistication today forgotten, but who wants to be in line with the times in fashion sector... A job worthy of a great and real artist. I would define Mantù woman as iconic, precious and extremely refined.
During the press day, Mantù hosted the exhibition of talented Gianni Osgnach, auto-producer designer who realizes one-off designs and small repeat productions.
Proudly made in Italy.

Hello beauties
Fall is my favourite season... I adore the warm colors all around, the sound of leaves under shoes and the rays of light that seem to caresse you.
Yesterday was one of those days that the only thing I'd like to do was a walk, surrounded by nature, with my mom chatting about soft and frivolous matters while the sun is kissing skin and the mellow wind is hugging us.
And for a moment of cuddle nothing is better than wearing my fave fluffly blouse by one of the most elegant Italian brand Gazèl and my brand new and precious Eternelle bag by Onassis&Co.
As I wrote you in July here and here, Onassis&Co is an Italian-French luxury brand that, under the guide of talented designer Cosmina Suciu, is ready-to-become the undisputed leader in accessories sector.
I'm very thankful to have the chance to carry my Eternelle in my daily life, as a best friend, with its graceful shape and its exquisite leather, it's the thing that reminds me, admiring it, that I never give up on my dreams... And you should do the same.

Hello beauties
I'm just coming back home from Milano from a breathtaking Louis Vuitton event with my gals Dania & Carola and I couldn't be more satisfied about it <3 Can't wait to write you more!
Few days ago I had the big pleasure to attend to one of the greatest press day... The one by Manila Grace and E_Gò Sonia De Nisco.
A triumph of vivid colors, fascinating and soft shapes, fresh prints and precious accessories were the main characteres of the Spring/Summer 2014 collection.
The flawless little coats are my favourite pieces because they are very delicate, versatile and sophisticated but I also adore the structured booties in pvc and leather, the classy pointy pumps, the embellished and shiny pochette, the giant bag in soft and quiete shades and the colorful Oxford shoes, definetely one of the key stuff of the new S/S collection.
It's been ages that I love Manila Grace and I really would love to wear all these pieces right now, I love the high quality of the fabrics used and the huge attention in every single detail.

Hello beauties
how is your week going? Hope full of special and particular news :)
Yesterday I had a business lunch and for the occasion I wore my brand-new faux fur waist-coat simply matched with a white blouse, a pearl and gold bel, ankle pants and my hundstooth heels by & Other Stories, a shop that I love because is full of eye-catching stuffs. First time out for my best birthday present, the Prada bag <3
For a bussiness meeting I think that the best thing to do is choosing a simple but chic look, not too exagerate but not too banal and "anonymous", what about you?
Hope that you will like it, let me know what you think!

Hello beauties
another breathtaking press day that I had the pleasure to go to was the Avenue Pr one.
Full of new talented designers such as Giancarlo Petriglia, Nahoor, K-Way, DROMe, Superga, Twisty Parallel Universe, Carla Perretti, Grevi, Raparo, Aimo Richly, Virgina Von Zu Furstenberg and glasses giant Luxottica Group, in this loft, with a charismatic interior design, I clearly breath a deep Fashion air with F Capital letter, very fascinating and passionate.
I'm so impressed by the detailed and precious bags created by Giancarlo Petriglia, winner of Who is on Next 2012, that are the real main characters of any outifts, by the vibrant, poetical and sometimes romantic leather used by DROMe and by histrionic, visionary and a pop of past melted with future of Twisty Parallel Universe.
As I told you several times, today new designers will be the big names of tomorrow and they need all our support because it's easy to invest in famous brands but I think it's more beautiful to show some love to these guys who put all their passion, effort and love in their stuffs.
Believe and help new designers.
Thank you so much Stefano to be so kind and sweet with me and for your helpful and interesting descriptions!

Hello beauties
how was your week-end going? Hope everything was good, I enjoyed four days of vacations and now I'm ready for the week ahead :)
One of the greatest trips of my life was in New York City and one of the best memories I have about this city is when I watched a performance by Cirque du Soleil, these guys are so talented and artistic that I stayed all time with mouth opened like children!
So when I first saw this dress by Desigual inspired by Cirque du Soleil collection I really fell in love with it because it reminds me my time spent in that theatre and it gave me an immediate state of happiness.
I love how detailed and precious is the portrait of one of the perfomer, it seems so real.
Hope that you will like it, let me know what you think!

Hello beauty
how did you spend your Halloween? More trick or treat?
Another press day that I have had the pleasure to attend was the Gas Jeans one, dedicated to Spring/Summer 2014.
The main theme of this collection was the sea, that can be seen through every single garment. Nautical suits, sporty and glamorous clothes inspired by boat and cruise life and also with a vintage taste that takes inspiration from dock workers uniforms never forgetting the tranquillity of beach days.
The palette of colors is composed by red, white and blue navy with seaside prints, such as knots, stripes and sea animals, obviously lot of denim, and the final effects are very technical or "experienced".
A fresh and comfortable collection perfect to live Summer days with fashion, elegance and a pop of fun.
