Fashion can be fun
The fashion world is an estremely serious business where creative vision, millions of dollars and stricht schedules are mixed together. The model's first rule on the catwalk is "don't smile".With this ad campain Lanvin wanted to go over this seriousness that often communicate extreme luxe but rarely fun.
Models are really goofy in the dance, they can walk and stare but maybe no one have ever asked them to dance. Do you like Lanvin Fall Winter 2011-2012 Ad Campaign?Do you find it funny?

How to fix a broken eyeshadow
How many times happens to break an eyeshadow? We have to clean everything up and then tens of dollars go into the trash. Just few days ago I have broken an eyeshadow in my favorite shade of green and I thought: is it possible that it can't it be fixed? It's only pressed powder. So I searched for a tutorial on the internet and I found the solution!
Siamo lì che ci trucchiamo, un attimo di distrazione ed ecco che l'ombretto cade per terra rompendosi in mille pezzi. Così decine di euro finiscono nel cestino. Proprio l'altro giorno senza volerlo ho rotto un ombretto della sfumatura di verde da me preferita e ho pensato che alla fine è solo polvere pressata, possibile che non si possa riparare?
Così ho cercato la soluzione su internet e credo di averla trovata!

Sequin nails
Fishscale nails by Deez Nails 

Sequin nails by Glammed up
Sequins are going to be a hot trend this winter so why don't glam up our nails with sequins instead of just sparkly glitters? I have to say that these nails found surfing the web really grab the attention.

Studded statement jewelry DIY
I am loving so much my new shoes that looking at them again and again I had the idea of making a statement jewel inspired by them. For this jewel I used bias tape. I've studded it and then sewed it. What do you think of the result?
I hope you are all enjoying your holidays!
Le mie scarpe si sono trasformate in una fonte di inspirazione per un nuovo gioiello. Ho usato lo sbieghino, ho aggiunto le borchie e poi l'ho cucito. Che ne pensate?
Spero che vi stiate godendo qualche giorno di riposo, Buone Vacanze a tutti!

New and cool at Zara
My last trip to Zara left me overwhelmed: I liked the explosion of snakeskin, both on clothes and shoes and a few frivolous pieces for the night like the feather waistcoat and the silver painted top. This one that can be easily done using a summer lace top and silver fabric paint! Paint it,iron it and wear it! Are you ready to diy?

Back to the essential
The economic crisis that is effecting our world is making this August definitely bitter. It will take us towards a season,the next one,in the spirit of austerity.
Thinking this I was drawn by this bag that fully expresses the season new mood: a rational shape,a classical model,a reassuring mix between concreteness and vintage. Its color is the most versatile so the bag will keep us company from am to pm thanks to its relatively small dimensions.
What do you think of it? Are you ready to renounce to color for a more durable,minimal look?
A couple of more pictures after the jump.
La crisi economica che ci sta investendo rende questo mese di Agosto decisamente amaro e ci traghetta verso una stagione, la prossima, all'insegna dell'austerity.
Sarà per questo che sono rimasta colpita da questa borsa che interpreta a pieno il mood di stagione. Linee classiche ed essenziali, forme concrete e razionali in un mix rassicurante e insieme retrò. Il colore è il più versatile così questa borsetta potrà accompagnarci dal mattino fino alla sera per via delle sue dimensioni abbastanza ridotte.
Che ne pensate? Siete disposte a rinunciare al colore per un look più minimal ma destinato a durare? Qualche altra foto cliccando qui sotto.

Me and my sister bought these two small wallets while in Florence.
I love everything about them: the bright colours,the leather pattern and the special small closure.
More pics after the jump.
Ecco dei piccoli portafogli che io e mia sorella abbiamo acquistato a Firenze.

Who are the new rockstar?
Vogue Japan september 2011 cover
Only a season ago Dolce and Gabbana put Johnny Depp on a tee (and we all agree it was a good choice,isn't it?) but now here's a young Giorgio Armani printed on a tee on Vogue's cover and i'm loving it! I'd buy it! And you?
Prima sulle t-shirt c'erano Lady Gaga,Madonna,Elvis,oggi le vere rock star,gli idoli di cui siamo i fan sfegatati sono loro i designers!
Solo la scorsa stagione Dolce e Gabbana ci avevano messo Johnny Depp sulle t-shirt,come dargli torto del resto, ma ecco che per la prossima stagione un giovane Giorgio Armani compare sulla t-shirt indossata sulla copertina di Vogue. A me è come se l'avessero già venduta, e a voi? Vi convince?

Two things i love
coffeepot shoes design by Kobi levi
There are two things in my life i'm never bored of: new shoes and my coffee in the mornin,this design,incredibly, have both.
These unconventional shoes are like those paintings with optical illusion: you look once you see a vase, the second time you see a couple kissing. You look once you see a boot, at a closer look, it's coffeepot pouring coffee!
Kobi Levi's design amazes everytime, if you don't like his humour you may say "what the hell is that?" but his shoes certaintly won't go unnoticed!
Ci sono due cose di cui non posso fare a meno: nuove scarpe e caffè e questo design,incredibile a dirsi coniuga entrambi.
Queste scarpe sono come quei dipinti con l'illlusione ottica: li guardi una volta e vedi un vaso, la seconda volta una coppia che si bacia. Qui vedi uno stivaletto e guardando meglio ecco che invece vedi la brocca che versa il caffè!
Kobi Levi riesce ogni volta a lasciarci di stucco. Se non siete fan del suo humour esclamerete: "Che diavolo di scarpe sono?" e avreste una reazione negativa, ma in ogni caso non potrete rimanere indifferenti.
