LFW AW16 Day 3

Image
Finally, here is the look I wore on the 3rd day of LFW, ready for the last shows I decided to attend.  To achieve that smart twist, I've paired a black blazer with the undisputed piece of the season - a slip dress.  I chose one with a wisp of lace, to give a touch of luxe simplicity and  a pair of leather boots to complete the effortless look. Hope you're all having a wonderful start of spring! xx Escada blazer (similar  here  and here ) // Asos slip dress in Navy (you can find a very similar model  here ) Zara red belt //  Garkony black leather  boots  //  L'Oreal lipstick in  Pure Red   Hair & Makeup:  L'Oreal Paris Studio Pro

LFW AW16 Day 2

It's been a while... and I know I'm very late with my fashion week posts..  I decided to take some time off, to think, to breathe, to live, to disconnect.  Have you ever felt like you don't know what's going on anymore, like you are confused about the tiniest aspect of your life...? That's simply how I felt and a break was what I needed.  London seems so chaotic lately; and I don't think it's just London, but the whole world. It is all about west and east, dawn to midnight, walking horizontally and taking life pauses vertically. Drinking tea in hotel salons and never noticing the roses or the clouds chasing one another in small shivers... So here I am during Day 2 of LFW, wearing a white silk blazer, navy coat and a blouse which I’ve paired with accessories in crimson hues. The beauty of red is that there are many interpretations and tones. Those beautiful dresses and feisty red lips, as seen on the big screen, cemented the colour's plac...

LFW AW16 Day 1

It’s almost 15 degrees outside and the air feels crisp with change. Call me optimistic (?!? I know, I'm surprised myself haha), but spring is but a few streets away. London always brings about inspiration to have a little fun by mixing and matching colours and patterns. Don’t be afraid to play with your own wardrobes, you’ll amaze yourself with more combinations than you think. Here I am on the first busy day of London Fashion Week AW16 wearing an animal print coat and a silk dress with some femme fatale heels. So much of our time is spent inside a coat. It's the first thing people notice, so it has to be great. And snake print is a definite can't-live-without for autumn-winter. xx Marc Jacobs coat // vintage hat & bag // Warehouse emerald dress //  Agent Provocateur heels Photos by: Mara Silvanna 

In the Mood for Red

This fall season has been both pretty unpredictable and surprisingly mild! A mild fall and now a mild winter (although I am sure it won't be so for much longer) means more exploring of the city, and that's always the most delightful thing. And being able to sit down outside during this time of the year is undeniably wonderful. Maybe I'll slow down as I run my errands just to enjoy the refreshing chill that I don't need to hide from. My steps far slower than usual so that I can notice the tiny garden hidden on the corner. A secret hideaway of sorts where the noise from the streets seemed muffled by its quiet beauty. No jacket required. No worries required. Just shades of red from my accessories and chestnut-colored leaves.

LFW Day 5

*** On the final day of London Fashion Week 2015, I had the  wonderful chance of visiting Ulyana Sergeenko 's showroom at the beautiful Claridge's Hotel . The art deco scenery welcomed me into her fairytale world. The SS2015 Couture Collection was all about velvet & silk fabrics, feathers, hand embroidered petite details, delicate accessories..all gathered into tangible magic. A gorgeous collection, exhaling great finesse, from one gorgeous woman!  ***  *** I  also saw  Mark Mitanovski  present his painstakingly intricate Autumn Winter 2015 collection (my favourite show this season, I must confess haha), through Fashion Scout.   As the lights went out and only the name of the designer was shining bright at the end of the catwalk, the darkness fell upon the audience followed by a haunting music. When the lights came back on, the first model walked down the runway wearing a ...
