it was a lot of fun. thanks to all. can’t wait to see the finished product.

this is just a sneak peak.

another fabulous look

a halter maxi flared vintage dress. it was in Chicca’s grandmother’s armoire and it belonged to her mother. but she really had to have it.

ever since, it’s been hanging in her own closet, trying to wear it for one of the zillion summer al fresco dinners, but she always changed into something else, ” I would check myself out in the mirror and could see my mom in the Seventies”. 

REFLECTION is what we used, that is “updating a bygone era to create a MODERN MOOD”. just pairing it with 3 elements, it will turn from simply ‘70’s to fabulous trendy seventy’s revisited outfit.

a Bohemian chic Love-Story-alike mood.

another of fall’s MUST elements to add prints to the mix + maintain a chic and sophisticated style. 

strong clashing print trends this Fall. more to come. I’d love for you to photo reply and make this a “mix-print-pedia”.

same ol' question

Jane:so what are your plans for the long weekend?
me:you know I'm not the type of person that "follows the streamline" ... I will avoid the crowds and all those places where you need to be seen.
IS THAT BAD????

a navy pantsuit re-edited.

A simple, plain, usual pantsuit revisited.

Three things can happen: it’s a silent presence in your closet, is still in good conditions, it lingers there. Good chances are it hurts getting rid of it or if you have given it as a gift to someone, you will see that someone rocking it. Chances could be, you changed jobs (or retired early) and you don’t need to wear corporate attire anymore, however it is still perfectly modern and not outdated in shape or length. The opposite could be the truth, that is, you have changed jobs, have been promoted and you want to wear it again. Either way, here are some options. 

FIRST LOOK.

Split it and wear the jacket with a “harem pants” strapless jumpsuit in cranberry and an oversized ethnic carry all. Flats would be best, either Toms or espadrilles or Repetto ballerinas.

SECOND LOOK.

Pull off an unusual nautical look. Wear the jacket, with a plain tube top and some high waisted white cotton popeline pants with giant  navy blue spots, knotted at the side with a big bow, red espadrilles and gold and red necklaces.

THIRD LOOK.

This is more appropriate for a late afternoon cocktail: one shoulder silk embroidered top, beaded mini purse and a single earring with feathers.
