Optimize elegance & comfort

To be honest with you, in this lonesome winter cold, it’s easier to be somewhere between yoga tights all day everyday or a full blown out low key version of Cruella De Ville (little black dresses and a furry accessory(ies)- her personality is optional only) but an effortless meeting point of these two contradicting styles would be a…

Happy New Year | Affirmation

I was born again, last year. No I am not high nor am I still drunk form last night. Rather posting this as a reminder that controlling our mind is one of the first steps towards taking control of our own destiny and  manifesting everything we want. If last year ended on a peculiar vibe,…

Goodbye 2016

Today is the last day of 2016. Yasss. You made it! Now before I go and drink myself to a low level of intelligence, here’s an anecdote for you that I had time to write a few days ago and was still debating on whether or not to post. It explores in a simplified manner the…

Tom Ford | A loner who rules the world

Can we make this Tom Ford week/ month/ rest of current and following year? Regardless of the attributes that are associated with Tom Ford, I always seem to stumble upon observations of his that not only inspire me but, in this specific context, make me feel like I get you.

This can perhaps be explained by that vaguely familiar moment when a sense of deja-vu meets a sense of a new normality and the thrill that both element create. This is collection felt very nostalgic. Looking at it now is…

Balmain aw16/17

Olivier Rousting gets it right all the time. While this might suffice to sum up every single one of his collections, he also provides us with the biggest source of inspiration for a dream painted in soft sheer colours on diverse beautiful things of wonder. Between the embellished fringed mini dresses, mini-crinoline skirts and sheer…

MaxMara AW16/17

Pioneering women who are in charge were the muses of MaxMara aw16/17. In a show where everything was presented with a delightful vibrancy, the key items were the palazzo trousers and overcoats. For  example, the patchwork pockets added the right amount of edginess to some staple pieces, particularly when these pockets in chevron pattern appeared against classic…

Maison Carven AW16/17

If you are looking for inspiration this winter, maison Carven offers a subliminal selection that blends the 60s trend, a sporty outlook and classic A line cuts. Among the key items presented (read: coats!!) we saw a range of pieces, enough to make us look forward to cold days. Besides the outstanding shearling coats, the liquorice black…
