A COAT AND AN UMBRELLA
Sunday morning. The sky is getting heavy, burdened with rain, and my head is getting full of memories and thoughts. I could take refuge on my rickety small armchair on the warmest spot of my house, but instead I decide to go for a walk. I take my ipod, I wear my old boots, I shut all the windows and I venture in the empty city, among falling leaves and whistling wind.
Domenica mattina. Il cielo si fa pesante, grigio, carico di pioggia e la mia testa si riempie di ricordi e pensieri. Invece che rifugiarmi sulla mia poltroncina sgangherata nell'angolo più caldo della casa decido che coperta bene, è il momento giusto per fare una passeggiata. Prendo il mio ipod, mi metto i miei stivalacci da pioggia, chiudo bene le finestre e mi avventuro fuori, tra foglie che cadono, il vento che fischia, e la città vuota.
Per fare ciò oltre alla voglia di stare da soli, c'è bisogno di una bella giacca calda, una sciarpa e un bell'ombrello...
Stay under-happy-umbrellas
Stay warm
Stay Stylish!
RAINY DAY
What I like about the beginning of fall are rainy days and rainy outfits.
It's really pleasant wearing thick stockings, rubber boots, and going out with a smile and a nice umbrella....

Lately I discovered the wrong way round shirt: Take a shirt, tide the bottons and wear it as a t-shirt, but the bottons must stay...on the back! I like it so much also because it reminds me a little bit of japanese clothes shape. Try it!
shirt: D&G
skirt: Levi's
shoes: F21
bag: DKNY
rubber boots: Palermo market
Stay upside down
Stay smiling

THE EDGE OF LOVE
This summer I've been able to watch the dvd of this movie: I originally picked it because there is Matthew Rhys (I'm a huge fan of Brothers and Sisters). I didn't even know what the movie was about...It was love at first sight not only because it is about Dylan Thomas but also because it is surrounded by a retrò halo, which I love. But most of all because it 's a love and women friendship story.
Questa estate mi è capitato di vedere il dvd di questo film, scelto per Matthew Rhys più che altro, essendo una fan di Brothers and Sisters. Non sapevo neanche di cosa parlasse...ed è stato un vero e proprio colpo di fulmine: non solo perchè è la storia di Dylan Thomas ma anche perchè è circondato da un alone retrò che amo moltissimo.
E sopra ogni altra cosa: è una bellissima storia d'amore e di amicizia femminile
I'm sorry the more I write the more I realize how bad in reviewing I am, so do not judge the movie from my "empty" word...
Mi dispiace, più scrivo e più mi rendo conto di quanto io non sia in grado di scrivere una critica decente a un film, quindi non lo giudicate dalle mie parole...
In this movie what immediatly captured my attention, was, of course, the dresses they wore. Beautiful, fresh, retro but still very en vogue.
In questo film ciò che ha catturato subito la mia attenzione sono stati i vestiti che indossavano: bellissimi, freschi, retro ma tuttora molto alla moda
floral dresses, big skirts, rain boots, wool socks, male hats and big coats
feathers, flowers, strong colur lipstick, lace veils and long gloves from the 40's
Have I ever tell you haw much I loved to become a movie costume designers?
Anyway that's another story, for now I'm doing nothing but admiring and taking inspiration!
Vi ho mai detto quanto mi sarebbe piaciuto fare la costumista al cinema?
Comunque questa è un'altra storia, per ora mi limito ad ammirare a prendere ispirazione!
Since the movie is about Dylan Thomas this is one of my favourite poem (strange it's a about a dancer..)
Like mist in moonshine clear;
A music that enamoured sight
Yet did elude the ear.
A rapture and a spirit clad
In motion soft as sleep;
The epitome of all things glad,
The sum of all that weep.
Her form was like a poet's mind,
By all sensations sought.
She seemed the substance of the wind,
One shape of lyric thought;
A being 'mid terrestrial things
Transcendently forlorn;
Through time bound far on gleaming wings
For some diviner bourn.
The rhythms of the swooning heart
Swayed to her sweet control;
Life in her keeping all was art,
And all of body soul.
Faint-shimmering in the roseate air
She seemed to ebb and flow
Like memories perilously fair,
And pale from long ago.
She stooped to grief's remembered tears,
Yearned to undawned delight.
Ah, beauty -- passionate from the years!
Oh, body -- wise and white!
La Danseuse
She moved like silence swathed in light,Like mist in moonshine clear;
A music that enamoured sight
Yet did elude the ear.
A rapture and a spirit clad
In motion soft as sleep;
The epitome of all things glad,
The sum of all that weep.
Her form was like a poet's mind,
By all sensations sought.
She seemed the substance of the wind,
One shape of lyric thought;
A being 'mid terrestrial things
Transcendently forlorn;
Through time bound far on gleaming wings
For some diviner bourn.
The rhythms of the swooning heart
Swayed to her sweet control;
Life in her keeping all was art,
And all of body soul.
Faint-shimmering in the roseate air
She seemed to ebb and flow
Like memories perilously fair,
And pale from long ago.
She stooped to grief's remembered tears,
Yearned to undawned delight.
Ah, beauty -- passionate from the years!
Oh, body -- wise and white!
She vanished like an evening cloud,
A sunset's radiant gleam.
She vanished. Life awhile endowed
The darkness with a dream.
A sunset's radiant gleam.
She vanished. Life awhile endowed
The darkness with a dream.

ANIMALIER ME
This fall every blog, magazine, advertising, shop window exhibit the 2010 version of the old mate "animalier". There was not an actress, a model, a singer without a leopard print detail (or in the worst of the option a whole leopard print outfit).
So here I am, sipping my morning coffee, gnawed by the doubt: do I like or do I like not animalier? Sometimes the line between fashion and taky is very, very thin!
So here I am, sipping my morning coffee, gnawed by the doubt: do I like or do I like not animalier? Sometimes the line between fashion and taky is very, very thin!
Quest'autunno, qualsiasi blog, rivista, pubblicità, vetrina presenta la versione 2010 del caro vecchio amico animalier. Non c'è attrice, modella, cantante che non sfoggi il dettaglio (o l'insieme nel peggiore dei casi) maculato.
E io bevendo il mio caffè mattutino sono attanagliata da questo dubbio atroce: mi piace o non mi piace l'animalier? A volte la linea di confine tra fashion e pacchiano è molto, troppo sottile!
Even Henri Bendel couldn't help me to figure this out having not a shop window, but a shop zoo...
Persino Henri Bendel non è stato di grande aiuto proponendo non una vetrina, ma l'intero zoo...
Yesterday I've been to Zara, which is full of these jungle patterns, but to be honest so far, those were the nicest ones.
So my tip is that if you are searching for something to feel kind of wild, Zara offers (it's a metaphor: once there we got to pay!) a choice of not taky things.
dress 79,95 / shirt 25,95 / bag 49,95 / shoes 59,95/ hat 19,95
Of course not all together!
Inutile dirlo: non tutt'insieme!
Stay animalier (just a little bit)
Stay at Zara
Stay Stylish!

BZZ GIVES ME A BUZZ
On Vogue Sept (Italian issue), there was a very interesting supplement, about all brand new designers.
As soon as I set my eyes on Bzz, I couldn't avoid to love it!
Bzz is the label of Davide Bazzerla, a Verona born designer.
"bzz quotes the first three letters of the designer’s taxpayer code, and recalls the spelling of a noise – a buzz – as continous as it is dissonant but anyway present, though sometimes undetectable." (quoted from his website- linked at the bottom of this post)
He is everything fashion is to me: eclectic, visionary, architectonic, world-inspired and inspiring.
All the pictures are taken from Davide Bazzerla's MYspace. If you want to see more pictures, click here.
This is his website.
Stay buzzing
stay eclectic
