Bits and pieces

Posted on by

I was busy, Christmas holidays… I took a break from looking at clothes, my favourite past time!  But now I am back. The first two months of the year are quite horrible, I know, the sales are on. But things are changing, more and more fashion brands have new arrivals all the time 🙂 That’s why I have a few suggestions, no theme, just random pieces:

  1. Because chinos are always useful and comfy and I love these two colours.

  2.  

    Zara CAMICIA MANICA A SBUFFO

What can I say, I love tartan and I love puffed sleeves.

3.

GIORGIO ARMANI Borsa la Prima grande in pelle palmellata

This is a gorgeous bag. I adore the colour burgundy and this kind of “scratched” leather look. Unfortunately the price is rather high..but, once in a lifetime, a girl ought to have a bag like this. It is an investment, so one should think long and hard before buying it.

4.

Zara MINI BORSA A SECCHIELLO DORATA

Rather more inexpensive this cute little fun bag. Nonetheless, very precious.

5.

Hobbs SOPHIA WOOL BLEND CULOTTE

Tweed culottes. Great with knee high boots and a little cashmere jumper.

6.

Now, Zara’s earrings are obviously affordable, I can’t say the same thing for the chain necklace…. I am sure it’s possible to find something similar though. After all, there’s no need to get in the shower with it.

No caption here. Just a link https://ven-store.com/departures . If you can afford cashmere at home, this is the site for you. Heaven.

8.

COS KNITTED CASHMERE JUMPER

Because a cashmere jumper is forever, forget diamonds!

Heritage style

Posted on by

I read, a little while ago, on Vanity Fair, this winter the “Heritage look” is back.

Immense joy! I have always loved it and always will. Think classic fabric like tweed, tartan, corduroy; shetland wool (itchy I know, but gorgeous), argyle patters, WOW!! I am not sure why I adore all this, perhaps fond of old times?

Anyhow, now, I am a “little older”, I think perhaps all this might make me look I come from that period in history and not in a positive way!! But, there is a way, actually, to approach it without looking too ancient:

the secret is to mix those beautiful items together with clashing patters and/or colours. I am going to give you a couple of examples,  I don’t actually like the single items in them necessarily , but they show well enough what I mean:

Does this explain better? (The pics are from Vanity Fair) Rather than wearing an argyle pattern top over something plain, worn over another pattern makes it look up to date. If you throw in a strange colour as well, than you have the modern Heritage look!

Tweed, fox fur and other colours

Posted on by

Just a few ideas of colour combinations. I have used what I already had to show ONLY the shades, not necessarily the clothes combinations..
I don’t particularly like just two colours in an outfit anymore, I think there should be at least three, preferably more. Of course you could make it interesting also wearing two shades of the same colour and perhaps add some pattern in small doses. Different textures are also nice and count as if it was an extra colour, for example fur, leather, fabric, knit, etc.


Tweed, duck egg blue and white.
Mid grey, fox fur and gold.


Mid grey, denim and pea green.
Beige, leather, pink and grey.
