Thinking ahead

Hi guys,

I hope you all have been well. Having a little break from the LFW posts and despite the weather being so warm now, (crazy isn't it?) last week when it was a bit colder, I was already browsing on the internet for some new items for my winter wardrobe.
Then a friend from work told me about this Swedish brand which has just arrived to the UK, I really like the Swedish minimalistic style and the Swedish brands are so cool, therefore I couldn't wait to check on the Ellos website.

Whilst browsing through the jackets, I selected some of my favourite ones to share with you. From classic to pure glam, these are great key pieces, which I think are a must in any wardrobe.






Nice aren't they? I know it might sound a little early to be thinking about it but Ellos is now offering 20% off on all the coats and jackets, just to tempt us a little bit more. We love a little bargain as much as we like nice clothes.

See you soon.

Francesca Marotta at London Fashion Week

Hi guys,

I was so excited for Francesca Marotta's debut presentation at London Fashion Week.
Francesca has been working within the fashion industry for a long time, as a well known stylist and now we have the opportunity to see her work as a very talented designer, I couldn't be happier for her because she's also a friend of mine.

The collection entitled “A la Recherche du Temps Perdu” was held at the beautiful Saint Martins Lane hotel. It was an informal and very interesting way to appreciate all the work she has put into the collection and showed how beautiful and well constructed her garments are.

Models were wearing a selection of evening dresses and gowns with exquisite fabrics and the attention to the detail was impeccable. The colour scheme used was black, blues and metallic hues of mustard and burgundy.

The centre piece was this beautifully embellished black gown, a real haute couture dress.

In detail, a picture of my favourite dress. I loved the details of the puff sleeves, the texture of the fabric and mainly the back which was laced from top to bottom in the best corsetry style. (pictured on the gallery below)

Proud and happy for her. Francesca Marotta is definitely a name to remember!

My look for London Fashion week

Hi guys,

I wanted to wear bright colours but I wasn't very sure about mixing black and orange, so in order to totally avoid the pumpkin/Halloween look, I added some extra colour into it. My navajo scarf which has hints of turquoise matches with the colour of my bag and it was just the right accessory to compliment this look, bringing everything nicely together.

A relaxed approach, since it was day 3 of LFW and all I wanted was to be comfortable. This picture was taken at the beautiful St Martins lane hotel, where I attended to a fab presentation, which I will be blogging about it tomorrow.


I was wearing: Dress: Zara, Scarf: Primark, Bag: Balenciaga, Shoes + Necklace: Vivienne Westood.

See you soon.

Felder + Felder - London Fashion Week

Hi guys,

Felder + Felder was one of the shows I really enjoyed. The twins Daniella and Anette are betting on a rock chic spring/summer full of black and white dresses, transparency and some gorgeous prints.
A touch of fetish was added by the gorgeous leather harnesses and extravagant necklaces.
There's a dash of colour too, greens and oranges were subtly present with loads of light blue metallic leather on jackets, skirts and backpacks.




I totally adored the leather harness used throughout the show. I want them all!

Campaign for wool

Hi guys,

Just before I dash off to LFW, I am doing a quick post on the 'Campaign for Wool'.

The campaign for wool is promoting the use of wool, which is a natural, renewable, biodegradable and durable fibre. It all started a few years back, as the wool industry was declining badly with a parallel threat that came from new man-made synthetic fibres, often oil-based, which were providing stiff competition in the areas where wool had traditionally triumphed – fashion, carpets and insulation.

Not only considering the environmental side of it, it was sad to see many farmers losing their confidence in the industry and the number of sheep flocks started to get smaller. Farmers were being paid less for their sheeps’ fleeces than the cost of having them shorn. Unbelievable, isn't it?

So, in 2008 HRH Price of Wales started the 'Campaign for Wool', which not only helps reinvigorate the wool industry but also should bring awareness to the consumer.
The consumer being the most important in my opinion, since we are the ones making the demands on the products we want to buy.

For the celebrations this year British brand Jigsaw, had one of the most original ideas and brought the sheep to the city. For someone like me from a (huge) city, who's never had the chance to see them, it was amazing! They are so cute, especially the little lamb, I was totally in love with it.





Wool Week 2011 included the opening of the exhibition Wool Modern, exclusive wool handbags launched by Harvey Nichols, video's playing at Harrods store, Jigsaw bringing sheep to the city, woolly performers at Selfridges to name a few stores that were participating on the event.

There are also many other ways to get involved. If you feel inspired, please have a look at Campaign for wool.

See you soon.

Nail ring

Hi guys,

The blogsphere is an amazing world. Like magic, from one blog to another the trends spread as quick as a bush fire, even the ones you have forgotten.
A couple of years back, Nicole Richie was dressed like Lady Gaga for the cover of Blackbook magazine.


Remember this?

So, the picture below which has been posted in many blogs recently (I have seen it in three different ones already) it's really reviving the nail ring and spreading it like fire.


I must say I also loved the idea, so I had to investigate this case further... Originally the ring is made by Bijulesnyc, to be worn on your pinky finger, costing $166.
But nowadays there are many options on Ebay and I could not help myself, for just over £2, I ordered one.


I went for a gold one as well but you there's a matt gold and silver to choose from. Just search for 'ring nail' on Ebay.

Spreading the fire and the love.

See you soon.
