Must Have: LACE TOP and at least 3 ways to wear it!

Nothing to wear? Or maybe we don’t know how to pair pieces together with creativity?

How many times do we wear the same combination of clothes? Same shirt with the same pants, jeans with the same cardigan?

With a little bit of creativity you can create more looks with one piece. Here I picked a black camisole, a perfect camisole. A lace detail around the neckline and the bottom of the top.

It’s a must have piece! Effortless, chic and timeless. Can’t go wrong with a camisole!

Here you have 2 options….even though you can find more ways to wear it….even over a t-shirt!

A camisole works with almost everything…under a classic suit of over a pair of jeans. Which one do you prefer?

It’s that time of the Year…

It’s that time of the year! Apple cider, beautiful colored leaves, cinnamon, pumpkin soup, and a nice and warm fur coat. Designers showed fur in any form this season. A fur coat can be worn day and night (over jeans or to stay warm when we wear a cute dress to go out at night). Besides coats, you can pick some accessories that has a fur accent. Like shoes, handbag, headpiece, scarf, hat, gloves…..so much to choose from out there!

Fur feels so cozy, but also this season you can pick some bright colors too!

Faux or real? It’s up to you. I personally prefer a faux fur…but I would consider a vintage real fur (I call it recycling :))

The Modern Suit

Suite (from French) means matching. The modern suit was born in the nineteen century thanks to George Bryan Brummell.

This fall a double-breasted suit is a MUST HAVE. Céline, Stella McCartney, Calvin Klein, Max Mara, just to name a few designers, had models walk the runways in suits.

Perfect for a day at work, but also for an elegant evening out.

Don’t be shy! You can downplay a such serious look picking a shocking pink color or keep it more traditional but with a jeans effect. Cropped pants, or wide leg with a cuff, be creative and have fun! Also, look for a material that has some stretch to make the jacket more confortable.

Do you believe women need to wear a business suit to the workplace to look more powerful and take seriously or they can embrace their femininity?

Twinkle Twinkle

Materials are glittery, metallic, shiny … those are the adjectives that conquered the runways this season…again!

Don’ t leave the metal mesh just for the evening. Add some sparkle in your pants, or bag, or shoes to light up a somber fall day. A simple white blouse can be a perfect combination for a pleated silver skirt, or a pair of white ankle boots can spice up a metallic jacket paired with a pair of jeans. Silver metal and white are a great combination…trendy and bright! Ready to try???

L’autunno e’ arrivato!

Fall is officially here! Leaves are changing colors and they fill the scenery with amazing nuances of reds and yellows. One of my favorite trends this fall is floral. Flowers everywhere: on shoes, handbags, hats, but especially on clothes. Dresses in full bloom, skirts, tops and pants. How to make the floral patterns more autumn appropriate? Add some edge with leather details, or don’t be afraid to mix it with a different patterns (for example stripes). Or you can keep the look more romantic, adding lace and sleek accessories… so many possibilities with a bouquet of flowers. Which look are you going to try this season? Can’t wait to see you out there!!!

Set-Ready- and Run into Fall!

The kids are back to school, the days are getting shorter, the temperature drops at night and in the morning. In other words, Fall is around the corner!

In the past, this time of the year has been very challenging for me as far as picking the right clothes. I adore fall fashion, but how can you dress properly when the temperature can fluctuate from 48 to 84 degrees?

The magic word is Layers….My secret is called a Cardigan! Love it, in any color, length and material! Some of them really feel like a “wearable” blanket!

I picked some of my favorites from Zara.com
A long blue cardigan with embellishments, and a few very colorful ones. So many choices!

A little history on the cardigan. The name comes from the 1800’s during the Crimean War. A commander, Lord Brudenell, earl of Cardigan, wore frequently a open-front jacket with fur caps and collarless. Soon it became a trend that we still benefit from nowadays.
