Lady Dior: storia di una it-bag

"Lo stilista lo sa, ogni donna è una principessa".

La Lady Dior è una delle it-bag più amate di sempre. Uno degli accessori più iconici, la borsa che ogni donna sogna. 

Saint Laurent style

In the 70's, the famous French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent shocked with the first trouser suit and suit for women. Since then it's been a while, but the mannish style is still the star of the catwalks. 

And so this fall/winter the mannish style is a trend thanks to the suit jacket pants strict but very sensual. 

The new mannish, however, is overwhelmingly female and captures the essence of dandyism: the outfits are made according to an elegance doctrine which makes attention to the combination and retail real diktat. 

Born as a symbol of women's emancipation, has traveled the ages, drawing on the language of fashion, finding agreement with the contemporary and then triumph on the catwalks as a representative of timeless elegance. 

Fashion fades, the suit remains.

BORSE D'AUTUNNO: BAULETTO MON AMOUR

Comfortable, effortless chic, feminine. Ladies, here comes the trunk bag!
If you still do not have a trunk bag in your collection of bags, it's time to run for cover. The autumn/winter 2014-15 ranks among the bags of the season the timeless trunk with handles to carry by hand, arm, shoulder sometimes.
Medium or midi, the trunk bags retain their timeless strength in design that combines elegance and practicality.
A timeless classic and a must have item that every woman should own.
To make the fortune of this bag is the legendary luxury brand Louis Vuitton with the coveted (and counterfeit) speedy, created for the famous Audrey Hepburn.
Comfortable, versatile and roomy. It is carried in the hand, arm, day at work or in the evening for cocktails and dinner with friends.
Run to pull it out of the closet or buy one, the trunk bag is back!

Leather, Peplum, Denim

Some loves made immense speed and then come back ...
It seems like yesterday that I attended the first year of high school and I was madly in love. No, not with the most beautiful of the school (which was more than one: P)... but with the jeans! To the delight of my mother I had more than 20, I swear! Then over time, the hatred.
Over the years, my closet was filled with blacks trousers, weird right ?! ;)
But the dear old and good Venditti has always been right...The flashback is close, very close indeed!
In recent weeks I have bought 2 pairs of jeans but this time I will stop here, the 0 close to 2 this time do not put it ;)
So for a drink with friends, I opted once again for simplicity, wearing my new jeans, AX Paris jacket with faux leather sleeves and peplum and heeled brogues. I do not even remember most of them!
I send you a big kiss and waiting for your comments

SMALTI D'AUTUNNO

Autumn has arrived and brought with it the desire to nail enamels original and sought always trendy. 

This fall, the nails are colored dark. 

Black, green, brown, gray, blue and purple the inalienable, and then the timeless red. 

BLACK - black licorice or pitch. Matte or glossy as oil. 

MIDNIGHT BLUE - midnight blue velvet, dark and intense as a sky studded with stars but also rich in nuances like the ocean. The protagonist of the season even on your nails for a truly sophisticated. 

PURPLE - aubergine or deep indigo: the conquest of the darker purple manicure. 

ROUGE NOIR - a classic autumn coming back to enjoy a moment of leadership. 

BROWN - the brown is enriched with unusual shades and reflections. The darker tones are illuminated by touches of metal and precious decorations. 

You just have to choose! What shades will accompany you in this season?

Colori d'autunno

Autumn and its shades from yellow to red, still immersed in a bright green frame.
A total black outfit with accessories from the colors of the leaves and shoes in leopard print pony, as it wants to tip the season. A song in my head and a mixture of peace and thoughts drawn on my face. Today it goes like this...

Stivali autunno/inverno 14

The boot is the shoe that more than any other accompanying us during the winter season: comfortable, glamorous, hot. It has all the characteristics to be a must have accessory. 

We then discover what are the boots trend for this season. 

Neither high nor flat: boots for fall/winter have a medium heel, the perfect balance between momentum and comfort. 

  The boots are inspired by the 70s. Have returned the forms of the past: the heel is thick, high leg, to below the knee, can be wide and straight or tight as a riding boot. 

Soft leather and suede are the protagonists, with some variation luxury such as python and irreverent as the glitter. 

Ready to brave the cold to a duel? You only need a low heel and riding style!

October, 19

An autumn walk on a soft blanket of dry leaves.
The smell of roasted chestnuts and a sudden desire for Christmas, red and a chalet in the mountains.
A "Witch" hat (Halloween is approaching :P) and a warm vests in Mongolian fur.
A pair of jeans and a white shirt.
And then, the bag that every woman should have in their collection of bags: the famous Louis Vuitton speedy. What if you still do not know, the trunk bag is the must have bag for this fall (I'll get better in a week, however, take note).
And one more a quote, hoping it will be one of those true:
Do not confuse your path with your destination. Just because it is stormy now does not mean that you are not directed toward the sun.

Green leopard shoes

Green and animalier. A perfect combination that embodies what are the trends of this fall. The green and its shades (here), for what concerns the trendy colors according to pantone, and animalier shoes (I talked about it here). 

If the shoes are Alberto Bressan spotted with shades of green, I made the center! In fact I own, as they say, two birds with one stone;) 

What do you think? Do you like this secretary/lawyer outfit?

Trend: Cappe & Mantelle

Cape or cloak? Cloak or cape? 

Why choose when you can wear both?! 

Stately, aristocratic and mysterious. Retro and with an allure of history and legend: capes and cloaks again become the protagonists of the season, going down from the catwalks and flocking to the female wardrobe, both of those classics that most of those coolest. 

A classic in every respect that is becoming more and more contemporary and avant-garde. 

If in the front outerwear, capes conquer the scepter of the most trendy of the season, it should be noted, however, that their history dates back to the dawn of time and that their presence in the costume and fashion has gone through centuries and distant eras. 

So many styles, lengths and details to make the head spin. Between pieces of traditional print and cloaks revised and corrected in a contemporary key. Whatever the color and the material, hoods and capes will be one of the must haves of the winter 2015 for all the lovers of retò and aristocratic elegance.

Princess D.

Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?
Magic mirrors, wreaths of bright, royal garments, glass slippers ..What little girl/young woman did not grow up dreaming of being/becoming a princess? I think no, indeed, I am almost certain.
Sometimes fairy tales do come true, not for all those little girls dreaming obvious, but the most fortunate realize their dream.
  If I tell you, Kate? Just to name one ;) Yeah, Middleton has done it!
Then you see that this is not so hard or maybe.
Alle we know the truth, needless to preach to you or be moralist..this morning I want to make you dream.
So even if in the veins not flow the notorious blue-blooded and we are not that great ass of Cinderella, least of Kate, just rummage in the old trunk of our mother (or grandmother) and find the vintage dress of "her big day". Wear it. Close the eyes and start dreaming, circling in an impromptu waltz.
As I always say:
To be a princess is not needed neither a prince nor a crown!

When September ends

The simplicity of a day in late September. A jeans and a white T-shirt. A trench on the shoulders, to shelter from the pleasant breeze that is already changing its warmth.
As if it were always so simple in life. That just simply is not.
And if there is an adjective that does not belong to this life, it is the simplicity. It does not even know what that means.
We are forced every day to climb thousands of steps, climb over walls to be able to enjoy the view.
And 'this is the key to everything: be aware of being alive. Remember that it is never too late to turn around to look at the sun. Again.

The Devil Wears RED

What is the color of the devil, the femme fatales and little cap? Red, of course.
And what of passion, seduction, temptation and some romance? Always red.
Warm, sensual and bold, red is the symbol par excellence of sensuality and represents the desire for pleasure.
  It's also the color that best demonstrates safety.
Impossible not to notice. Impossible not to be attracted to.
Red is the scent of poison. Rouge are the kisses of seduction.
Red as the most beautiful field of tulips or a bouquet of fragrant roses.
Sexy like the sole of a stylish pair of shoes from high heels.
Precious and bright as a ruby, or famous as Valentino's.
Red is suitable for anyone who knows how to use it with moderation. Devils included.
Do not tell me you still believe the story of the devil who wears Prada.
The Devil Wears Prada Red.
At best, Valentino. Valentino Red.

A new Tartan

From Scotland with love, tartan, famous plaid fabric, confirms itself the star of the season, mixing and reinventing itself with new trends. 

And if fashion wants all us in the beautiful and mysterious Scotland, we just have to leave...oops... to play! 

Not to give into the mix, now granted, tartan-animalier, I decided to match my tartan dress with two trendy colors of this season: the red sangria and the famous burgundy. 

What do you think?

Trend: Camel Coat

Where do you go if you don't have the camel? 

A timeless classic and a real must have for this autumn/winter. 

Who? The camel? 

No no, you do not have to order the caravans of camels and camel drivers directly from the Sahara desert. Much less call the Magi ahead of time! 

I speak about the coat. Yes, because this year the camel coat can not fail in our own wardrobe. 

Camel color is a symbol of elegance and coat of this color is the item that best represents the elegance when the mercury drops. 

In a thousand different versions: a robe or double-breasted, short or asymmetric, with fur collar in contrast, embellished with a thin leather belt to give a retro touch, or simply oversized version boyfriend. 

The camel coat, warm, enveloping and with that allure tres chic, it is always the alternative of the fur. 

So where do you go if you don't have teh camel? To go shopping!

Lady in black, again.

Hello girls!
Monday again. New outfit. Black again.
(What a great imagination!)
I had said that I like black.
If you did not understand I'm a #blackaddicted and #blacklover.
I can not do anything about it, so keep me and love the black!
Ah anyway, I have a news...
"Did you buy another little black dress?" 
No no, you're quiet, nothing black. Ultimately I'm looking for a little red dress.
Yes you read right, and very likely you also heard the bells ringing, I want a red dress!
Will your Princess find the dress that I have in mind (because I know how I want it but I do not know if I'll find it) or will sell, once again, the charm of black? We'll find out in the next few months!
Meanwhile, enjoy yet another outfit in black and remember:
"You are never too much or too little elegant with a little black dress."

INSTA-PRINCESS #64

Pencil skirt & Borsalino hat

The pencil skirt is always a classic bon ton, as well as a symbol of femininity. 

Caresses and enhances our forms without exceeding in the vulgarity. 

A true timeless classic but super versatile. Impossible not to have one in the closet! 

As you know I was at the Fashion Week in Milan and one of the outfits prepared but not worn (I still wonder why), provided for the pencil skirt with a lace corset, a big hat to create a bit of mystery and finish coat on shoulders. All strictly black! 

Needless to say that I love (in all languages) the result ;) 

And you? Do you like it?

PFW - ELIE SAAB S/S15

Prints of tropical waters with "splashes" of orange that look like fish, until the gleaming black mesh and lace heavenly resulted in the collection spring/summer 2015 of my beloved fashion designer Elie Saab. 

  The spring/summer 2015 Elie Saab brought to Paris by the Lebanese designer is as always a succession of dream began. 

The seabed  inspire Elie, with a thousand shades of blue, green and prints. 

The fluid dresses accompany the movements of the body, embellished with embroidery and crystals iconic waterfalls. 

Even the black Elie Saab appears less deep, strong embroidery and crystals that make it sparkly and light. 

Elie Saab makes no exceptions, his search for an elegant and sensual femininity, painted in sumptuous aristocratic, never ceases to amaze. 

A colorful and deep fairy tale to dream...with class!
