Journaux Des Fétichismes

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...

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 

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.

*** I’m jumping back to my time spent in London last month since I was never able to get these images up, but I didn’t want to miss posting them! I spent such a wonderful Saturday in the company of the most charming pinup ladies. We got so lucky with beautiful, sunny weather which is not always the case in London, so we savored every moment outside. Together we celebrated the second edition of Pinup Picnic In The Park. Wine, tarts, chocolate, sunshine, joy: these were the glam coordinates of our brunch, held in Hyde Park by the adorable British Belles . It was so lovely to meet so many people who had come alone because they wanted to be there and share in the day, groups of friends, families & co. We chatted, took loads of selfies hahaa, exchanged ideas or pinup tricks, and of course, pampered with cakes and promised to meet again soon. Such a fun day! *** *** Photos: Antonio Delle Monache Edit: Andreea Velican Outfit: Topshop ...

*** Just after a summer rain… The air becomes warmer, exalting the fragrance of flowers bathed in dew, releasing a gentle mist. Time is suspended. Fine droplets shimmer on leaves and flowers. A gentle breeze carries the scent of roses, veiling space with its sensuality.... *** *** Wearing: vintage Laura Ashley gingham top (Similar Here  and Here ), red leather belt ,  H&M palazzo pants (Similar Here ), Zara sparkling sandals .

*** Everyone knows I've always been a fan of retro and vintage fashion, so of course I got more than excited when the lovely Jade Stavri from Scarlet Rage Vintage  (which happens to be the most amazing vintage/retro shop in London), asked me to model their SS15 collection. Most of you have seen some previews of this wonderful photoshoot as I have been teasing you with Instagram and Twitter snippets for the past month or so. Well, I’m very thrilled to finally share with you the dreamy results. With talented Sally Rose as the photographer and Laura Marsh as the make-up artist, the whole process has been such a fun experience!
