that new city...

It's been a while since I don't post anything... "moving dilemma side-effects" I guess ;) I'm still undecided of where I will land my belongings. Just hope a small walk will help me to think about it.

Cabaret nights

What about using regular clothing with an underwear style?... girly, flirty?... hmm, well, I really love this trend as Dolce & Gabbana propose it for S/S 2010. Of course there are some more conservative options out there, but as to everything in fashion, the choice is up to you!

Blossoming

Flowers cover me. Delicate and soft. My mind flies to Japan, kimonos and cherry trees. Suddenly I hear like a whisper the Madama Butterfly's aria, Un bel di vedremo. Well, I guess that love not always has a sweet and happy ending. Click on the set to find it at Polyvore.com

McQueen world: lights out

Lee Alexander McQueen - Source: www.cbc.ca

What words can be used to describe the departure of a true and inspiring artist? A man that once said: "I became a designer to push new ideas, I don’t see the point of designing something that’s already been done 20 million different ways"**

Isn't this the way of thought that each and every designer should have? Be free, be unique. Be loyal to his or her own beliefs. Be real.

McQueen reached the goal of stablishing his own brand, but at the end, I believe that he did more than that. He fought and won the freedom to express what he wanted, in the way he wanted. He fought and won the right to be himself.

Why? Well, I guess that he firmly believed in his innate talent and in what he was able to do with it. So beyond the artistic legacy that McQueen has left behind, I rescue his courage to be real and loyal to himself because courage is what a true artist is made of.

Jean meets Denim

(and also studs). Sorry, but I just realized that I've got some stud-obsession, ha! Besides that fact, I also love the idea of getting leopard printed and dyed denim. Will you give a twist on your traditional jeans?

Toxic moonlight

Sometimes don't you feel a bit unfriendly? looking for a steel armor? Soft inside, hard outside. Studs come to dress you allover, though a delicate & feminine touch can still be kept...

Borderline

The last couple of days I've seen everywhere lines and shapes that remind me of my beloved 80's, and one of my fave songs came to my mind too: Borderline.

So while listening some Madonna music, I arranged this set. And even though it's fine to keep the mix in b&w, I decided to spice it up with some bold colors. Jimmy Choo sandals, D&G bag, and Louis Vuitton bracelets made a nice complement for this striped silk top + shirt.

More info about the top & shirt at www.elle.com
