Senior, mature… 2 words, many meanings although we want to take them from a glamourous angle. Let’s say that the women that fit in these categories have experience real Hollywood glamour, have been hit by the Saturday night fever and have in many ways left us with mesmerising retro pictures and wardrobes full of vintage clothing.

Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti AW10 latte riding boots
The past month was all about finding the right pair of boots that would be of the season but would take me to spring. To set the talk, I am only referring to real walking boots here, so the mid-calf to high knee ones. For sure when the discussion evolves around flats, the first concern is: will they be flattering? Will I not look too boyish? Will I loose my feminine appeal?
Come-on be modern, sensuality relies on much more than skyscraper heels; in fact, they can help you to reveal your glamorous side. Flat knee-high boots offset perfectly a mini tube dress and finalise a skinny jeans/ leggings based outfit. More »
HOGAN Boxing style worn out sneakers
Yesterday was late opening day on via Montenapoleone so no wonder that I went there around 7pm to check it out. I was not really expecting anything, of course the crowd and some instore aperitivos made the happening but no real fashion was to be seen. As expected it was more the non fashionistas that were attending then the experts. First as a member of the fashion tribe, I know the winter collections too well and I am already looking toward SS11, second I have almost bought all my essentials for the cold season so do not need to browse. However, I must say that two stores should I say two windows (one of the few labels that decided to not participate) caught my attention: Hogan and Celine.
HOGAN bootie style worn out sneakers
To be totally honest, I have never been a Hogan fan (I do not believe in flats) but yesterday night I fell in love with some of their new sneakers… OMG, what happened to me? Ok, far from the traditional tennis shoes, they are boxing inspired and have a midnigt appeal… Think sequins and suede patchworks on matching leather. For Celine, I just found the forties style shoulder bags I was looking for. Structured, in thick leather or exotic skin, lady-like handbags to carry over a boyish suit but with high heels, please! It is a fly-high clothing conversation.

Set-the-travel-tone
Travel use to be part of the whole “I am on holiday” cool story. Unfortunately it seems that nowadays it is more a “have to” in order to reach a peaceful haven. Indeed, who can claim that it is cool to book a flight and jump on a plane? More »
A zebra coffee moment
After 3 weeks of mini marathons in fashionable cities, bloggers and editors are still addicted to their BB, iPhone, iPad or simple archaic mobiles and continue to tweet as if something has to be reported each minute. What are we left with? More »

Givenchy Moroccan studded ankle strap sandals SS10
Day 3 in Milano and here we are, eventually able to communicate with the rest of the world. In the past 3 days of us moving we have not wasted our time and got inspired. Walking in Milan’s gold fashion triangle set the tone for the few weeks to come and has definitely put us on a shopping mode.
Spring is not to come but is actually here. What an announcement after a far too long London winter!
The Umo Facial Spa
