On a rainy day: Intimes sensations by Paolo Roversi

Beautiful sensuality captured by Paolo Roversi for Vogue Paris. A sweet Parisienne in a middle of autumn. Gorgeous cosy and chunky Pringle of Scotland, Marithé + François Girbaud and MaxMara knits, classic Isabel Marant coat, a silk barely there Galliano dress and satin Lanvin slip, all topped up with an Hermes fedora. I just want to be this girl… Or have all these clothes…

And in a sort of clothes-related P.S. … Have you left your details for a chance to shop a super not-to-be-missed secret Christian Louboutin sale yet? Follow the link and try your luck – apparently, the invite will find its way to your inbox if you get picked… You are welcome.

Lanvin Resort 2014

One can easily understand why women love Alber Elbaz so much. He creates the clothes that, in some subtle ways, remind of the most beautiful pieces from the past collections we’re already in love with, whilst simultaneously gives us designs that feel fresh, youthful and suitable for practically any occasion.

Resort 2014 was like a bag of assorted sweets – all kinds of flavours, all sorts of colours with a few classic chocolate nibs thrown in to please the admirers of simplicity and timeless elegance.

If I could wear Lanvin, these would be the clothes I chose - the white dress and black leather bag being my absolute favourite.

Designer look for less: Lanvin Resort 2013

What a day I had yesterday! Busy, tiring and wonderful at the same time. It began very early, with the usual routine of taking care of pupster and making coffee for the human part of the family, meeting a client, run to the station to get to London, to my “happy place” (which is, in fact, work-related, but I adore being there), back home three hours later, an evening seminar and, after a quick and absolutely pointless struggle to stay awake, a date with my pillow that seemed even softer and more inviting than usual. 

So the plan for today is to share my latest high street finds that made me think of Lanvin Resort 2013 because, lets be honest, not every girl can dance into a Lanvin boutique and pick a £2200 dress and £900 brogue-style wedge shoes otherwise it would be one of the most popular places in Earth, as far as most women are concerned.

Right now, I present you a £35 dress that reminded me of the collection, a classic cross-body costing £25 and a pair of £180 suede and plexiglass wedges. The shoes that also come in nude (as in colour, not the “hello, here we are, the nude pair” way, of course) were chosen purely because I liked them more than any other “crystal slippers” created for the high street this season.

Before I leave, I wanted to mention that the shoes from my Nina Ricci Look for less so many of you liked are now on sale. Just thought it’s worth to mention.

Stylish quote

“Designers and editors can give you nonstop advice, but in the end, the mirror never lies. Stop long enough to look in it and it will reveal what’s right for you. Trust your intuition, not someone else’s standards.”
