From day to night: Look n.2

Hello everybody!

Today I wanted to talk to you about the popular print of "Le Moustache".

I might be a little bit outta time, but I don't only want to show you how many ''moustache'' we can have: I also want to show how can we use a simple moustache shirt like this

for a day to night look.

For the day I suggest to wear this shirt on a comfortable pair of high waisted denim shorts, or else on a long pleated chiffon skirt if you feel more romantic :)

You can either leave your hair down (waved would be better) or pull them back and tie them up in a loose bun to look more casual.

Elsa Schiaparelli - the woman and the designer.

Hi everybody!

Today I wanted to talk to you about one of the most prominent Italian designers of all times: Elsa Schiaparelli. Recently there has been a Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (aka: the Met Ball) and this year it was dedicated to two Italian fashion icons: Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada. We'll talk about the first one today:

Elsa Schiaparelli was - as we mentioned before - an Italian fashion designer (born in Rome in 1890). Along with Miss Coco Chanel, her greatest rival, she is regarded as one of the most prominent figures in fashion between the two World Wars. Starting with knitwear, Schiaparelli's designs were heavily influenced by Surrealists like her collaborators Salvador Dalí and Alberto Giacometti. Her clients included the heiress Daisy Fellowes and actress Mae West.
Schiaparelli did not adapt to the changes in fashion following World War II and her business closed in 1954.
Elsa led a refined life with a certain amount of luxury provided by her parents’ wealth and high social status. She believed, however, that this luxury was stifling to her art and creativity and so she removed herself from the “lap of luxury” as quickly as possible. Schiaparelli moved first to New York City and then to Paris, combining her love of art and design to become a couturier.

From day to night: Look n.1

Hey guys! I have decided to start a series of posts about day to night looks. It will help you choose your summer outfits and maybe it might be your inspiration for those amazing school-free days.

Some time ago I talked to you about lace (here) and I am going to post a look which is actually connected to that. To create a romantic look, a lace piece is always a key piece!

Today's look is ''Romantic''.

1) DAY.

Hair and Makeup: Versace backstage (Milan's Fashion Week 2012)

Hey guys!
Today I wanted to talk to you about the gorgeous makeups we saw at Milan's Fashion Week this year. I am so in love with Versace's delicate (and sexy at the same time) makeup. I also loved the hairstyles - very natural straight or waivy hair.
So I am posting a video from http://www.youtube.com/user/fashiontv .
Hope you enjoy! :)



And now let me know if you liked it or not, and why. Feel free to write in the comment section below all you think about this makeup, or how you think makeup should be.

xoxo,
