Elie Saab Haute Couture

Haute Couture = Elie Saab

If I say haute couture is only one of my beloved Lebanese designer, Elie Saab. When the catwalk down his haute couture, there is no Chanel or Dior!

This time too Elie Saab confirms King of Dreams with a couture collection spring summer 2015 by princesses of fairy tales, able to dream and sigh as girls.

A tale of pastel colors and darker colors, where fairy style is dutifully kept in check.

Precious laces, light and fluffy fabrics and a cascade of precious crystals that makes even the clothes deep blacks more precious.

Dresses of Arabian Nights made only for the more sparkling and magical evenings that you can dream of living wearing these masterpieces. In fact, the new collection of Elie Saab Haute Couture only includes evening dresses, designed and created with an exceptional adventure tailoring and with the passion and the absolute taste for the theatrical, the splendor and magnificence.

Pure luxury. Impossible not to fall in love with these creations!

Business Break

Ever since I was a child I always had a fixation for the "career". I always said I would become one of those women of power, maybe the manager of a multinational company or a lawyer super stylish in stilettos (red sole of course) from a judgment to another.

However, there is always a but, the toga and the briefcase 24h have never been in my DNA, which has always preferred the white coat since primary schools. So, as in the lab has never seen a biologist in white coat, heels and Louis Vuitton to the arm, I'm happy to do the business woman blogger lunch break ;)

Make a wish

Who said that to make a wish you're forced to wait for the right moment? Why only when the candles are extinguished or when you see a falling star? Or watching the sky in search of the North Star, or when you see the trail of an airplane or you find a four leaf clover. Why always having to wait for the moment?

And if I want to express now? Yes, now, at this moment. Who tells me that I can not do this or that will not come true?

We should make a wish every time we feel the need, always, no candles to blow out or magical nights spent with the upturned nose, then we should have a Professional like Fabio (www.salmoirago.it) able to capture it in its essence in its natural beauty. Perhaps in a dance of snowflakes...

So...

Make a wish!

A special thanks to Fabio Salmoirago for scoring these wonderful shots, I'm completely in love!

Roberto Cavalli Paradiso

There is a paradise in which fashion and glamor are a way of life, where women exude charm, joy and liveliness.
A tribute to women and their beauty, it's Roberto Cavalli Paradiso.
A sensual and feminine fragrance, designed precisely to emphasize the natural beauty of women.
This fragrance evokes the trips around the world, made by the designer, and it combines exotic oriental fragrances. Roberto Cavalli Paradiso is designed to increase the joie de vivre. A fragrance encouraging and inspiring, radiating pleasure and happiness. Striking an ode to sensuality and seduction, which urges people to seize the moment, the famous carpe diem, and to fully enjoy the pleasures of this earthly paradise.
The citrus notes of bergamot and mandarin are mixed with fresh accents of jasmine and warm woody accords of cypress, pine and laurel.
The design of the bottle is inspired by the many facets of the diamond, as well as to various aspects of the personality of a woman.
The new fragrance, a collaboration with Coty, will be available from February 2015.

Royal blue

Born or become Princesses? One thing is certain, someone starts advantaged.

Do yuo ever wonder how are the modern princesses? Those who do not expect the coach but prefer a taxi or a plane, those who would buy bags and shoes one day and the other as well, those with character yet insecure, those with big dreams and do not waiting for Charming Prince to achieve them.

Stylish, funny, glamorous and approachable. The new sovereign, princesses and queens, have oodles of charm (yes, I have always been a modest girl: P) but not always blue blood. Because the new Cinderellas 2.0 also have the blood from "normal" staining but, can always count on good dear old friend royal blue, triumphing among the fashion colors of winter 2015.

And it's the case to say: Long live to the Royal...Blue!

INSTA-PRINCESS #72

The last holidays, Aviator Fiocco (which to keep him good, I had to "pawn" with the salad), blank pages to be filled (of wonderful things, we hope!), positive thoughts, gifts, sweets (far too many) and summer memories.
I leave you in the company of the pics, taken from my profile Instagram @desireedaloia, and I wish you a good weekend!

City girl

The usual routine. The city. The sipped and not tasted coffee.
The projects, the ideas and the duties.
A coat, a faux fur vest and animalier pumps.
A girl and her impatience. I do not like to wait, I seem to waste time. And I hate wasting time.
Yes, I know..."you can not have everything at once". Some things need their time, a bit like the sauce that must cook 1h and half/ 2 hours, low heat. But the wait worth it! If you do not know, your Princess, modestly, cooks EVEN well ;)
The best recipes, as well as the good things, need time; they are not simple bagged salads, already washed, simply to open, pour in the trigger, add two tomatoes and a bit of tuna, salt, oil, vinegar et voilà!
Beautiful things, happiness, satisfaction, love, are all complex recipes. Those with 5 stars of difficulty. They require time and commitment. The ingredients must meet and bond well, the one with the other, there must be harmony. Subsequently should be cooked to the perfect temperature, stirring from time to time, without haste. And only after cooking you can enjoy that time and his delight.

Another day. Another choice. Another coat.

 
That life is made of choices is known to all, and in this there is nothing revolutionary or special. We are forced to make choices every day, since we are small. Some consciously, others unconsciously. We spend most of our time to choose. From when we wake up, we are constantly faced with the crossroads, having to choose between the usual breakfast biscuits or Galletti, with those grains of sugar that, soaked in milk, become irresistible. In front of the wardrobe, in the eternal indecision of that secular phrase, "What do I wear?". And then lipstick, red or pink? The perfume, handbag etc. And these are all crap.
Yet we are subject to this continuous cycle of changes that life offers us and we have to face.
We make sure that life turns around to our needs and we get angry every time someone decides for us forcing choices that we do not share.
All the choices that we do not take,  determine a turning point in our lives. But if we could follow people that we were not? If we could tag along them, and then above all listen, talk together, invite them to dinner, what would really happen?
Choose is not only bound to figure out what we need and make sure to get it, it is also, and above all, linked to the fact to understand and choose the people we want to be and who we want to become.
It's only when you know what you want that you do not take everything that passes. So then life upsets you the plans the same.

Cappotto broccato

 

An inspiration coming slow and that perhaps will never come, like when you crave something. More you want and the less you'll have. It's always like this, every time. More you want something, more escapes. Unless you want something, more you find it in your path. What if I had understood before, from the beginning, I might have to stop wishing.
A part that is in the character of the human, as well as try any emotion, but then one called Desiree, which means Desire, could never stop wanting? No, it is mathematically impossible. I was born to dream and to make trips. Mental ones are my specialty, but I much prefer those with a plane and a suitcase to fill with only emotions.
So, in the absence of a title, the real ones, and an inspiration to accompany the pictures, and that just does not want to get, let them talk, pictures, hoping that speak better then me.

Spring inside. Winter outside.

And 'well known that after Christmas, I start thinking about spring. Yes, after December 25 my brain and I pass directly in March. Indeed it is from St. Stephen that in my head there are green fields, tulips, pastel colors, roses and sun, lots of sun!
I'm already thinking about the next trends, must-have that can not miss in my closet and I'm also dreaming/imagining/inventing new shoots that can not wait to shoot.
Inside spring has already exploded, outside...the frost.
