DIY #11: OLIVIA PALERMO INSPIRED SWEATER

Welcome to the new DIY! Have you ever felt you were not looking very prim and polished with just a sweater? Olivia Palermo has the solution for this by just adding two brooches in both sides. It's easy and simple.

 And the best part: you can put them also in a blazer!

I took a basic sweater from mango and add it two brooches with a vintage style.

PRE-FALL 2013 : THE FAVORITES

"If runways are for fantasy and "editorial" experimentation, the off-seasons are about reality-based clothes—the kind we buy to wear every day. It's no big surprise, really, that Resort and pre-fall have become such an essential part of designers' businesses, Proenza Schouler's included." Style.com

STYLE IS TIMELESS #1 : THE LEOPARD COAT

  Today starts a new project on the blog. I'm going to jump  in to the archives of the style icons of last decades and try to find similarities to the actual street style. It's funny to see how some things didn't ´t change at all over the years. The first two protagonists are Lee Radziwill and Jackie Onassis (Kennedy).

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis will forever be remembered for bringing a sense of style to the White House, and her younger sister, Lee Radziwill also shares the same impeccable aesthetics  She is still seen attending fashion shows in New York and Paris with her effortless chic style.


Hoje começa uma nova rubrica no blog. Decidi saltar até aos arquivos dos icones de estilo das décadas passadas e tentar encontrar algumas semelhanças com o "streetstyle" de hoje em dia. É engraçado como algumas peças e cortes se mantêm tão actuais.

As primeiras protagonistas sao Lee Radziwill e Jacky O, irmãs de sangue que também partilham uma estética de estilo semelhante. Jackie O. a ex primeira dama dos EUA será para sempre lembrada por ter trazido um estilo elegante e muito pessoal que serviu de inspiracão a grandes estilistas. Lee,a sua irmã partilha do mesmo gosto pela moda e ainda hoje é vista em desfiles em Nova York ou Paris.
