ACCESSORIES

I don’t know about you but I’m longing for spring so much, this year. I usually like winter but right now all I can think (meteorologically speaking) is spring. I know I’m not the only one who’s thinking about the warmer weather, so let’s daydream together!

I chose ten items that you may consider to update your closet. I didn’t pick fancy, impractical, “influencer items”. I went for style and practicality.

I’ve always loved pink + red, I think it’s such a chic color combo so I immediately liked this high waist skirt by Milly. It’s so feminine and it will add freshness to your closet.

A PVC bomber by ALEXACHUNG, to add a rock vibe to your outfits.

This Parker dress, called “Hermosa”, which means beautiful in Spanish is so pretty! I like the tied wrap panel.

Yellow seems to be the color of the upcoming spring and this Zara coat is perfect to sport this lively color. I like the inverted lapels.

What I like about this tweed minidress by Veronica Beard, called “Augusta” is that you can wear it as a jacket, too. It’s a classic, elegant piece that you can basically wear with everything, from leggings to jeans or another minidress made of a lighter fabric.

Shorts can be elegant and suitable for many occasions. These are by N°21.

Sequins, pussy-bow… how pretty is this Needle & Thread jacket?

Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini cotton sweater. It’s available also in black and white but I love this version is red and black. The trimmed sleeves are sooo beautiful.

This H&M denim dress is exactly what I was looking for.

Trench is the ultimate piece for transition seasons. Many people find it useless but it undeniably has a timeless elegance. And it is useful! I particularly like the cape sleeves of this trench by Pixie Market.

If you’re looking forward to buying some pieces from Fall 2018 collections that you can already wear now, you will find something interesting at Zara.

The Spanish brand, as usual, offers a wide range of trends you can embrace so I chose 8, among garments and accessories, that you may want to add to your closet.

A sequined skirt, because I love sequins and I love sequined skirts styled with minimalism.

This bejeweled mini crossbody bag. Not particularly useful, but surely a cool and glamorous smartphone holder.

I love printed and embellished t-shirts and this one is so pretty and a bit Gucci-esque, don’t you think?

These pretty flats, available also in orange.

A lovely embellished t-shirt is a must-have.

These pants with ruffled trims on the pockets. Minimalist, versatile and with a feminine detail.

Leather booties. I like everything about these ones.

And this blouse, in case you missed a recent Fashion Crush on the blog.

“Leopard print is a neutral”. These words by Jenna Lyons 100% represent my thought. I love leopard and I consider it elegant and cool, timeless and chic. Leopard print has always been a favorite of women with a great sense of style like Diana Vreeland, Christian Dior’s muse Mitzah Bricard, Carine Roitfeld, Jenna Lyons herself. Just to mention a few ones.

Stylish by day and glamorous by night, leopard print hardly goes unnoticed. A touch of leopard can add an interesting detail to basic outfits. Leopard works great with total black (and blue) and with colorful outfits, too. So, if you’re uncertain about the color of shoes and bag, go for a neutral but bold leopard accessory.

Leopard print, like many statement fabrics/patterns/texture, is divisive. Some women totally dislike it and find it tacky and some totally love it. Men seem to deeply dislike it. I heard a man saying that a woman dressed in leopard print make every man think of porn actresses (which are probably men’s favorite actresses). Oh… men are so simple, sometimes. They still associate leopard with easy virtue but we all know men totally don’t understand some fashion garments/accessories women totally love. Also, as if they always dress impeccably!

If you are not sure about leopard print because you consider leopard “kind of cool on Alexa Chung, maybe, but not on me” remember that style is in the details so you can start wearing leopard choosing an accessory but gosh, a faux fur leopard coat is the best garment to elevate a casual outfit and a pair of leopard shoes will easily make your look much more stylish. If you search on Pinterest Alexa Chung or Kate Moss Leopard you will have the proof I’m right, ça va sans dire (which means obviously in French).

But if you’re afraid men could be right about leopard (then, let me tell you, you might have a problem), try these two simple outfit:

• A leopard skirt + a classic sweater (turtleneck/v neck/crew neck) in a neutral color + pumps/sandals/boots.
• A leopard sweater + jeans + classic shoes like loafers or brogues or even boots.

I like this look because I consider it rock and cool. I would 100% dress this way.

And this outfit proves that leopard can be chic and bon ton.

And this is Olivia Palermo wearing the Max&Co pieces I chose during the recent Milan Fashion Week.
