Borsalino f/w 2016-17

"A woman should not have memories. Memories in a woman are the beginning of its decline. You can always tell by the hat of a woman if she lives or not of memories."

The autumn/winter 2016-17 Borsalino is inspired by the mystery of dark colors. Classic Borsalino forms are in fact enhanced by black, shades of gray and blue with touches of bright colors and pastel shades, such as lavender and burgundy.
Among those changes was the beaver, small, medium and large brimmed with walls in canetè and the Project Replica models which incorporates from the 1800s archives a cylinder, a bowler and a dressage.
The classic form small, medium and large brimmed in lapin felt shaved, is reinterpreted by Slam Jam, streetwear brand which Borsalino has partnered, in black, wolf gray, ocean, nature and burned camel, in addition to a distinguished the replacement of the walls with the cross bar in matching tones with gold logo. The bucket and baseball, however, are available in velvet in cream, black, navy, purple, red and cognac.

Semplicità

Simplicity is harmony. he greatest artists, the most talented writers, the best philosophers, know it.
Even the greatest advances in science are often simple solutions to problems that initially seemed complicated.
Simplicity is elegance. Not only in clothing, furnishings, style. Even in thought and in all kinds of activities. Not by coincidence, a particularly effective, very often called "elegant" in various professions and disciplines.
"Simplicity is the form of true greatness."
Simplicity is the beast where all the points are equidistant from the center, is the circle which has neither beginning nor end.
Simplicity is balance, which inevitably turns into harmony, peace, serenity.
Simplicity is the form of true greatness because it is the very heart of reality, stripped of unnecessary frills that mask the deficiencies.
Simplicity is beauty in its purest form. Perfection, truth, goodness, who are not afraid to show themselves because they have no defects.
Simplicity is the encounter with the true values of life.
The simplest things in life are also the most extraordinary. We just need to allow them to reveal their essence.

Telephone Box

 

There was a time, not so long ago, when making calls were not used cell phones.
There were no cell phones, the ringing of the "I think about you" or "I'm here, come down," the text message to the mother to say "I came," and even whatsapp conversations, often meaningless and also endless.
The phones there were but only in homes, hey had the wheel and had to wait for it complimented back around before making the other number.
In reality outside the home and on the road you could call. It was done by telephone boxes, for which, at least until the mid 80s, served as the token.
The problem arose when we had to change because no one knew what would last the call. There it was a little to the feeling, depending on the call. Depending on the person. To avoid ending the token at the climax.
It was not  the time of ringtones and mobile phones. At that time one entered in the telephone box that seemed confessional and guardians of some secret.
They were containers of distances, whispered loves, families apart.
I have not lived but were different times, the best. Times where those seconds, minutes, hours spent attached to the handset knew excite. The calls had a different flavor. Sweet, like the words of two people apart, with a little bitter aftertaste that due to waiting for the next call.
Not like now that every 3x2 comes a "BIP" that brings with it hearts, TVB, TAT, TV1KDB.
I want a K of that ?? But the simplicity where is it? And the values? Those true and sincere, attributed to everything? Dead. Buried. Like thelephone boxes, which to take me two photos, I was going to buy a plane ticket to London! And the thing I would have liked.

Mannish shoes

"Desi, do you believe in love at first sight?"
"Of course! The last time it was like a bolt from the blue, I did not understand anything... I still remember the excitement *-*
Shiny black leather and not over the top... Yeah, a few weeks ago, I fell in love! "
???????????????????????????????????????
Girls, I'm talking about shoes! Finally, after years and years searching for the perfect lace-up, I found it and it was Love with capital L.
The shoes in mannish style are trend autumn winter 2014-15 of most successful this year. Edgy models and elegant shapes inspired by the symmetry typical of men's shoes, which have, however, new life in the collections of the most famous fashion maison in the world.
The lace-ups are a must for the season to be comfortable, stylish and glamorous at the same time. And as a lover of elegance that I am, male and female (as you noted), I could not resist and I went down to ten centimeters (mom, you know that miracles do happen!) to come back down to earth.

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.

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...

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.

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."

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?
