Literature is good for you

marie claire it

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way- in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of it's noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

The future

Alexander McQueen Fall 2010

Has anybody noticed that I'm romantic? A bit. Ok, a lot. And although it's 2010, I WOULD wear those dresses. He really was a genius. And I have convinced my brother to buy a pair of Mcqueen trousers, so if I can't pay tribute to him in those dresses, my brother will(now I just have to make some photos, if he'll let me :)).

The rainbow collection

The rainbow collection by Roland Mouret. Chic and optimistic, for every day of the week.

Loubotin Fifi pumps, Casadei

Ok, just because I worship Garance I decided to do this post about 10 basic pieces in my wardrobe, maybe it's going to help me finish cleaning up my closet (it already smells like spring, but today I found out it's still a bit early for having a two hour coffee outside the bar). So here's what I consider basic:

+ white T-shirt(s). All shapes and sizes

+ my Levi's. Slim. Cosy.

+ Malava nail polish, Velvet. It's looks very natural and it's tottally me

+ white shirt, recently "borrowed" from my brother

+ pumps in nude colours. They go with Everything, I have one beige pair, but I constantly dream about those above this article.

+big black classic diva looking sunglasess. I have a strange face, really, I just can't find the right pair for me. Still searching.

+my Furla bag, simple, dark blue, soooo perfect. I't has been my n. 1 wardrobe accessorie for almost 2 years now. If you can afford just one expensive thing, buy yourself a bag

+my grey cardigan, Zara. I'm thinking about buying one in a happy spring colour

+my silver rings

+a black thin belt by Patrizia Pepe

It's been real fun writing this post, thanks to G. for the idea...
