Spring 2014 Trends: Rainbow Powder

    Okay, so I have been on a social hiatus for the last couple of months! I made this decision based on the fact that I have the most important exam of my life in July, so I now it's the time for me to study more than ever. I have missed blogging dearly and free time in general: I only allowed myself to watch my favourite TV shows (gotta keep my sanity in order somehow) and indulged in some occasional reading.

    It's the first fashion season that I did not show interest to the trend report...until last night. I came home late after a very sweet evening out with my friends ( we had three major exams this week so we allowed ourselves a celebration) and I was sleepless. I saw an email in my inbox from the Net-a-Porter newsletter and I thought I should check the new collections they have online. I INSTANTLY FELL IN LOVE! With everything: I was craving baby blue high heels (both Gianvito Rossi and Fendi offer a great selection),  a Balmain light denim skirt (it was a huge surprise for me, as Balmain is knows for darker tones) and pretty much everything else, when it hit me: "I have to share my discoveries with someone, this fashion season is insanely genius!" . And who else is a better choice than you, dear reader?

    So, here we go, the highlights of the season I have noticed in a brief visit on Net-a-porter:


    Mustard Much?

    J. Crew pumps, Alexander Wang skirt, Miu Miu Sunglasses, Theory sweater, Oscar de la Renta necklace, Sylvia Toledano clutch

    Baby Blue is the new hue! - Everything is baby blue- from pumps, to Oscar de la Renta necklaces.

    Text T-shirts : From the well known Alexander Wang top with "Explicit content" , to more affordable versions at J. Crew (like in the first photo).

    Backpacks - I never imagined I would fancy the idea of wearing a backpack like an IT accessory, but my fashion taste is unpredictable. The epitone of classy is the 3.1. Phillip Lim backpack I included in the first set.

    J. Crew designs have reached a whole new level! I always loved J. Crew , although I found it hard to understand why people call them "high street" when a pair of shoes costs 300$. The basics have clean cuts and nice colors as always, the statement necklaces are outstanding, but what really surprised me were the bold prints used on skirts and pants. They just make everything seem so fresh and chic, and they also have a selection on bold colors for tops to match the down part.

    Mustard Yellow Power: Either we're talking about the glorious J. Crew shoes with a sparkling sole (see second set in the post), or Stella McCartney and Proenza Schouler clutches, the verdict is clear: this spring is all about a bold accent, like this beautiful yellow shade. 

    Peach Powder : This sweet orange-meets-salmon shade has a sweet, feminine accent. I have a skirt in my closet from last year, I cannot wait to wear it!

    I am definitely keen on knowing more about this fashion season know, I will try to make some time in my life for this research and my beloved blog, I absolutely forgot how fun fashion can be! What do you like about the spring season so far?

    Monday Muse: Miuccia Prada

  • No need to say more about my Miu Miu obsession and praises about Prada's spring collection. Miuccia always knows how to reinvent the brand, and still keeping the same classical, unique Prada style.  She is truly an inspiration, a legendary fashion woman! It was so hard for me to even select a representative quote so I decided to post a couple of my favourites:

    "In fashion you have to be creative every 5 minutes."

    Fashion is a quick answer to our life.” 

    What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today,
    when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is an instant language.
    ” 
    I don't belive in people who think that clothes are not important”

    Daring Colors!

  • This season is all about colors! And I don't know about you but I'm ready to give them a shot because I feel so alive and enrgetic everytime I look at the new colors that designers came up with lately! They're more of an inspiration lately and since all my fall was about nude/cream/beige/silver peony I don't own many clothes but I certainly own an extraordinary bracelet!

    ♥Storyline: Brought to me when I was 12, from a boutique in London. It is from my best friend Sara
    and it was the last one but Sara sacrificied and bought it for me, because she knows that the dream of my life is to visit London someday. Plus, at that age I was just developing an obsession for coloured bangles and I own over 25 at the moment :)
