THE BLACK AND WHITE COMBO

I've noticed that in the last week I've been wearing a lot of the B&W combo though I still love  wearing colors during the Winter but this looks instantly chic and so "Prim and Polished ". Have a great SUNDAY <3

THE KENZO FEVER

It's been a year since the new co-creative directors Humberto Leon and Carol Lim took the reins of the Kenzo brand launched in 1970 by Kenzo Takada. It's so good to see how the brand is blooming again, they are definitely bringing with them a refreshing modern edge. Over the past months there has been clearly a more modern approach to communication and promotion from the brand especially the support of bloggers. The Kenzo fever we saw last fashion month in NY, London, Milan and Paris is nothing but stopping, so get ready!

Já faz mais do que ano (Julho 2011) desde que a dupla dos novos directores criativos Humberto Leon e Carol Lim vieram tomar as rédeas da marca Kenzo lançada (em 1970 por Kenzo Takada). É tão interessante ver como a marca está florescer outra vez. Há uma abordagem mais actual ao tipo comunicação e promoção utilizadas:  vê-se maior envolvimento com a imprensa e com os bloggers o que é fulcral hoje em dia. A febre que temos visto no streestyle do mês da moda em NY, Londres , Milão e Paris são reflexo de tudo isto, por isso muito mais estará para vir nos próximos meses!

"Kenzo, as a brand, has such a rich and fascinating history, it can be hard to determine what exactly we have changed," Leon told us. "With our new collections, we hope that we have injected the brand with a youthful spirit and a sense of fun and cheekiness. But we also want to respect and preserve the traditions of the Kenzo house, such as the importance of prints and the sense of worldliness and travel that has been intrinsic to every collection in the history of Kenzo."
Humberto and Carol





Capsule collection of Kenzo for Vans

Carol and Humberto Leon have created a line of shoes forVans that was released this Summer. The first edition fuses the red, blue, and green prints from Kenzo's Spring 2012 collection with the design for the Vans Era, a classic lace-up skate shoe.

A TRIP TO THE LAKE



Yesterday we finally decided to leave Milan for some hours and we headed to Lago Maggiore which is 70km away. First we went to Stresa and over there we took the boat trip to visit both Isola Pescatori and Isola Bella. It was so refreshing to finally see some water  even though is not my beloved Portuguese sea. I wore my white coat I showed you here with burgundy patterned pants. You can see all the look below.

THANK YOU SO MUCH Uterqüe

for making a copy of my all time favorite cat eye sunglasses from Miu Miu! ÀMEN!


GET YOURSELF A : MASC POMPOM BEANIE


This year Winter seems to have knocked on our doors before it has been welcome. So for the ones who are already facing cold rainy days (like me) nothing better than put our heads inside a comfy beanie. I'm personally hunting for a masculine one cause they're more loose and preferably colorful - to contrast with  sober winter shades!
So take yourself inspiration from this post and go hunt on your boyfriend, dad, male friend wardrobe or buy one ;)

HOW TO SURVIVE TO: MMM TO H&M COLLECTION

 MMM x H&M collection is about to hit the stores on November 15 . The result of a collaboration between such a niche brand like Maison and the giant retail H&M has produced the most non commercial, non masses collection so far. It comprises 104 pieces of re-editions of Margiela items over the past 23 years. My first reaction when I got to see the advertising campaign last week was shock. Though the campaign pictures were beautiful (shot by artist and director Sam Taylor-Johnson) the revolutionary shapes and cuts  were extremely well...revolutionary for me! I'm a self proclaimed fan of feminine and structured silhouettes so I instantly  thought "I hate this collection". But then little by little, having a look in all the look book I started to be in love with some of the pieces. This is a love-hate kind of situation. So I leave you here with some of my favorite items if you didn't fall in love yet...

MY NEW WHITE COAT

I recently bought this white coat at H&M but it was not a safe choice I must admit. I kept thinking to myself inside store "White in winter? Am I crazy? what if I get whiter than the coat by December (100 % probability) And what if it gets dirty in 2 secs (80% probability)? And what & what & what. Then I thought WHO CARES, it's gonna be miiiiine!!And it is now. 
 

Though I couldn't help but start searching for some street style pictures when I arrived home. And I like it even more now!

MILANO SPOTS: CALIFORNIA BAKERY

     Sometimes I do also get tired of fashion, that's when I stop posting for more than a week so I thought these are good opportunities to show you other stuff like : really nice places I've been!  The  first I'm showing you it's tha supa duppa delicious California Bakery. From a small business it grew up to 5 locations now. This was the last addition that has home in Via Tortona. It's perfect for a late brunch something that I've been dying over the last years but shamefully I didn't concretize it yet. And look at those cupcakes.....

PARIS HIGHLIGHTS: BALENCIAGA

Nicolas Ghesquière said about his SS2013 work "It's the most sensual collection I've ever done" and I can do nothing but applause. I would say that is more an example of architectural minimalism rather than sensual but it's oh so nice to look at and so wearable.
