Old Hollywood glamour

From minis to mid-lenght, we'll wear skirts of any kind. Only one will remain the most difficult to wear: the full lenght skirt in the form of an elegant maxi dress because nowadays there are fewer and fewer occasions to wear it! In days where jeans are often worn even in formal events, elegant gowns are only seen on red carpets. Right from Cannes red carpet we've seen celebrities wear beutiful yet very expensive outfits. Is it possible to create a look inspired to old hollywood glamour with a limited budget? We can start with a Topshop silk maxi dress and then add an Accessorize clutch and when it comes to jewellery we can search for it on Etsy.  Prom or the next marriage you're invited will be the perfect occasion to show your elegance.


Dalla mini alla longette, ci capiterà di indossare gonne di tutte le lunghezze. Forse però la più difficile da indossare rimarrà quella che sfiora il pavimento magari sottoforma di abito elegantissimo poichè in tempi in cui si indossa il jeans anche in eventi formali per esso non esiste più nessuna occasione d'uso se non il red carpet (e il proprio matrimonio). Proprio dal red carpet di Cannes in questi giorni ci arrivano le immagini di attrici e modelle fasciate in abiti di alta moda di grande eleganza ed esclusività. Ma è possibile costruire un look che si ispiri all'eleganza hollywoodiana con un budget contenuto?
Si può partendo da un maxi dress di Topshop e una borsetta Accessorize da abbinare a della bigiotteria vistosa trovata su Etsy. Dove sfoggiare la mise? Il mese di Maggio inaugura la stagione dei matrimoni e sono sicura che un'amica o una cugina vi offriranno l'occasione giusta per mostrare la vostra eleganza.

Vintage find of the day: the lace jumpsuit


Even if summer is arriving to its end I still feel the need of relaxing sunny days that's why I picked this fabulous vintage piece. It's a jumpsuit made of white lace and remainds of D&G summer collection plus it's a seventies design and we all know that the 70's mood will be en vogue this coming autumn.
If you feel the urge to live fashionably the last bits of summer, you can find this fab jumpsuit on ebay, here.

New VS Vintage : Peplum dress


Vintage Valentino                      VS                Chanel Couture Fall 2011

High fashion is a dream but its prices are not for everyone. High street chains sell every season inspired cloths we can buy but there's another way to rock a trend from the an upcoming season: we can go retro. My grandma used to say that in fashion what goes around comes around,designs are never the same but some ideas are taken from the past. There's a lot of vintage fashion that still looks uptodate.
Today i've found this Valentino vintage peplum dress that reminded me the lasted Chanel Couture collection. Ok, you're right, today's vintage find is not a cheap one but i wanted to show you anyway.
Check out this Valentino vintage dress here.


L'alta moda ci incanta ma sicuramente i prezzi di un abito di alta sartoria non sono accessibili a tutti. Le industrie di moda low cost ogni stagione fanno a gara a mettere sul mercato dei modelli che si ispirano a quelli dei più famosi designer ma c'è anche un altro modo di indossare la moda che più ci piace: acquistare vintage. La moda è una ruota diceva sempre mia nonna e con l'avvicendarsi delle stagioni vengono riproposti dei modelli del passato. Certo la moda è sempre diversa,i modelli vengono reinterpretati ma molti capi vintage appaiono ancora attuali.
Oggi mi sono imbattuta in questo vestito vintage di Valentino che mi ha subito ricordato gli abiti di alta moda di Chanel che sono stati presentati per la stagione invernale.
Ok, l'abito che ho scovato per voi oggi non è di quelli economici ma ho voluto mostrarvelo in ogni caso, dategli un'occhiata  qui.

Rounded goggles

Gwyneth Paltrow in "Sky Captain and the world of tomorrow"



Johnny Depp in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory



60's sunglasses

Chanel





Paloma Picasso vintage sunglasses


Slow and steady wins the race

Big rounded sunglasses. I have a passion for dramatic sunglasses. I saw Gwyneth Paltrow in a sci-fi film set in the 30s wearing these mask sunglasses with rounded lens,i find them both retro and futuristic and remainded me of the exagerated goggles of Willy Wonka. Rounded sunglasses have a fab vintage appeal. Recently i set my eyes on these vintage Paloma Picasso sunglasses worn by lady gaga. They are so vintage with a touch of steam punk i wish i could find an inspired version. Slow and steady wins the race on the other hand made very funny big foldable sunglasses.
