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.

Brigitte Bardot Collection!

Brigitte Bardot. A name, a legend. She's been one of the first icons of all times. There is no one who doesn't know her. She's been one of the first women to wear a bikini (at her time that apparel - which is so common now - was considered immoral!) and she rocked it.

  

And now we have some amazing news "from her": "FashionMag.com" announced last July that Brigitte, the legendary model and actress, signed a licensing agreement last year with the company Ternay and other investors allowing for the first time the use of her name and likeness for a fashion label, " Brigitte Bardot".

The collection - available in stores since January - includes some 200 styles inspired by the actress: gingham dresses, shorts, retro-chic crochet dresses and many others. The prices range from around 100 euros to 400 euros. Everything was "inspired by the iconography and style of Brigitte Bardot, which validates each style," said the director of the Sarah Ohana collection.


Here is a picture with some of the pieces from this collection:

So, what do you think about it? Do you like the idea of a collection inspired by one of the most famous and beautiful women in the world, or not? I personally love it, and I also find these clothes - with their vintage and retrò allure - very interesting!

Lace: the must-have of the season.

The new must-have of the season.

Lace is still the protagonist of this season, but not only in the three classic colours nude, black and white. The brand new trend is to make up an outfit which consists of a shocking coloured lace piece. Thanks to its sexy and elegant characteristics, lace makes every girl look graceful, girly and fashionable. During the day it's good to match lace apparels with vintage pieces, but at night just let it be free to stand out as a sexy piece. Lace is also a good choice if you don't want to spend too much time thinking about how to put together your "tomorrow outfit" because it can dress you alone as one piece. If you want to get a "Bon ton" look all you have to do is to wear a classic little lace dress with a pair of ballerinas and a blazer. Whereas if you want to get a typical Jenny Humphrey Glam rock look you have to match the little lace dress (possibly black dress) with a leather jacket and a pair of black ankle boots.

Jimmy Choo's lace pumps. Just fabulous.

The pictures that follow show what I was telling you before: the new trend of the season is to match lace with eye-cathcing colours like shocking yellow and orange, for example.

So, what do you girls think about lace? Do you think it's a must have for a good reason or do you think it's too old-fashioned? Let me know what you think in the comment section,

Xoxo,
