Gonna pied de poule

There is a print that every vintage lover wear: houndstooth. Straight from the '50s, houndstooth is a guarantee of ladylike outfits, chic and retro.

The houndstooth texture is Scottish.

"Scottish? I thought it was French!", are you saying it?

But no, this print was not born in France, but in Scotland, back in 1800. At that time its value fashion was still unknown, it was later in 1900, thanks to Mr. Christian Dior, which experienced some success.

From this moment on, the houndstooth became a sign of great sophistication and print most adored by women.

A few weeks ago I could finally wear my new houndstooth skirt combining it with a blouse and a sweater, lace shoes and the Choies faux fur vest (which you've already seen here and here) for a ladylike outfit but at the same time youthful, perfect for college or for a business meeting informally.

What do you think?

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.

Al parco, le signorine per bene

The young ladies spend the autumn afternoons at the park. They hear the leaves fall from the trees breathing in the scent of that nature that is changing, read Jane Austine, pretend and dream. To dream.. this is just their favorite pastime.
What do they dream about? Gulliver's Travels. Not just his, but dream of distant travels.
They dream of taking a half-empty suitcase to fill it with emotions and smiles, emotions and happiness that only travel can give.
It 's always so whenever I feel like a caged lion, I would just go to the airport and go. So, without a precise destination.
It's not running away, I'm not one of those people who runs away when faced with problems or insecurities, it's not part of my character. More than anything it is a meet, with yourself.
And at this time I would leave with one of those open tickets.
I need freedom.
I need to wonder and enchantment.
But above all, I need to pause for a moment, look for me in the crowd of thoughts and finding myself.

Cape in Town

Straight from the school of Hogwarts Magic & Fashionerie, the Witch Desi wrapped in his warm cloak. Yes, I was accepted and the principal has also accepted my clause: high heels and potions. I've never said that I can be very persuasive?! ;)
However, no more talk, as I mentioned and as you well know by now, capes and hoods are a must have of this season, if you missed the article can be found here.
Here is a first outfit (of many), look to know what you think!
I embrace you

Pelle & Pellicce

Among the trends and "big returns" of this fall winter 2014/15, there are definitely leather, chic, aggressive and super versatile, and very soft fur, the true prevailing trend of the season. 

Let's face it, the return of leather was just around the corner. In recent fashion shows fashion designers have taken to the catwalk not only biker jacket as well as trousers, leggings and pencil or full skirt, reminiscent of the 80s. 

From the encounter between a leather skirt, found on Choies, and a fur vest, always found on Choies, comes a romantic outfit with a retro twist. 

To complete the look, my favorite shirt with a big bow and Moschino brogues. 

Needless to say I love the result, and you?
