NICHOLAS K SS 13

This collection, when it comes to colours, does not scream Summer, but the satin pieces help refreshing this collection which is so rich in autumnal colours.

Beige and cream, different  greens, oranges, blues and black 

were the colours chosen by this brand.

The Nicholas K woman for next summer is someone whose style is easy, 

relaxed, but also chic.

The majority of the pieces is fluid, not to tight, made of light materials 

and has a charming movement.

To slightly define the silhouette there are some looks styled with a thin belt.

About the anoraks, I love what Maya Singer says about it on Style.com: 

"Elsewhere in the women's collection, Kunz largely reiterated her recurring themes—lots of draping, and lots of experimentation with parkas and anoraks. (Is an anorak still an anorak when it has a poncho-like draped knit body? Comments welcome from any philosophy majors reading this.)" 

Even if there isn't a concrete definition for that, the truth is that it rocked the runway. 

But wil it rock the streets?

All models had their head covered with some sort of berets and their forearms were covered with sleeves for forearms.

Even though it is not a collection for everybody, Nicholas K has enlarged the number of its fans.

Have a nice Weekend!

MAXI EARRINGS

Summer is almost gone but there is still a trend that I haven't talken about yet and it might stay a little longer for next season: MAXI EARRINGS!

I usually don't wear earrings but I have to admit that there are people who they fit perfectly!
Beyoncé is just one of that people.

Here are some of my favourites:

Tom Binns 648€, Bijoux Heart 341.52€, Kenneth Jay Lane 128.07€, Marni 300€, 
J.Crew 47€, Tom Binns 396.42€, Miu Miu 182.96€, Marni 230€

This summer it was all about mixing things. Next season it is about matching. 
If you do like to wear this type of earrings, since they stand out so much, you have to make sure they stand out for matching and not for being a different piece in an outfit that is all about admixtures. 
This doesn't mean that they can't stand out or be a different piece. It means they shall match with something or be an add if it is a total or semi total look. [Remember I'm talking about next season].

The Dolce & Gabbana show for next Fall is a great example. As you can see, the maxi earrings match with all the look.

For this summer Dolce & Gabbana presented patterned dresses with maxi earrings but as you can see the maxi earrings are not of the same colour of the dress. They mix but not match.

BROCADES & APPLIQUÉS

Designers of the biggest brands, such as Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Balmain, Gucci, Marni, 

Prada as well as many others, have offered us a “Brigade of Brocades” as Style.com named it.

                Accessories and ornaments have always been a people’s social and economic status. In the last years, the status was more about the materials and also the designer we were wearing. This Fall I believe we are getting back to the ornaments festival. 

DOLCE & GABBANA 

VERSACE

When I think about this trend I immediately remember Lanvin’s fashion show and the great ornamented above the knee grey dress that came in thirty-third place on the show. That fashion show was amazing but this piece made me ascend to heaven.

LANVIN

                Another fashion show that illustrates this trend so well is the Balmain fashion show. The fourth dress walked by Julia Frauche was full of appliqués including pearls and flowers in the middle of the chest. Anna Selezneva, number six of this fashion show, was the model who carried a great jacket which reminded me the Portuguese and Spanish bullfighters’ jackets.

BALMAIN

                Brocades and appliqués have taken the runway to another level. This trend made everything look fancier and prettier.

                Last year the fashion world was talking about glitter and metallic clothes. This year that trend is still a trend but more soft. Brocades and appliqués are definitely our SWAT team. They rescue us of this depressed mood and put a smile on our faces. That is why I like fashion so much.

CHOICES OF THE WEEK

Here are my choices for this week:

The Topshop pictures are from Topshop.com and all the others are from Net-a-porter.com

LOAFERS, PEPLUM TOPS and SHORTS are a must have. 

Remember that not all types of shorts, tops and loafers 

go with everyone's sillouette and everyone's personality. 

Make sure you choose those that fit you better. 

These three are a must have but if you don't feel okay with them then do not buy them. 

When it comes to buy something I always think to myself:

It doesn't matter if I have it, it matters if I wear it.

SEA

This is the last trend for this Summer that I'm going to talk about.

Designers have taken their inspirations out of the sea but this time they got a lot more literal than usual.

This summer it is not about the sailor style. It is more about starfish or seahorses than blue stripes and anchors.

HAVE A NICE WEDNESDAY!

MY CHOICES FOR THE WEEK

Hey y'all!

It has been a long time since our last post! This summer I've been up to so many things that I can't even find time for the blog! Finally, I found some free time in my busy schedule to post something here.

Each week I'll show you my favourite pieces at the moment.

Here are my choices for this week!

The PEPLUM TOP is a must have for this summer! I personally like to wear peplum tops because they have an original shape. It costs 24£ which is around 30€.

I'm also in love with the Nicholas Kirkwood pumps. They are also original. The colours are great for summer and winter too. And they seem pretty comfy. 

They are not to high and the heel seems great to walk.

The topshop shorts are a great choice for summer but also for the next season. They give you a casual chic look and for only 32£ [around 40€] you can have a comfy and glam outifit. This type of shorts may be seen at almost any shop. Paired with high-heeled sandals or with loafers they will look great!

Also, for this Fall/Winter the knit sweaters are a great choice. They may be more simple or patterned. It is up to you!

The bracelet is also a choice of mine because of the bright colours it has! 

Stay tuned for more posts during this week!

HAVE FUN!

TURKEY FOR THE 6TH TIME

I'm so happy summer break exists! It's one of the best things in my life. 

After my finals I went with my family and friends to Turkey. 

This time we went to a different place called Fethiye. It was amazing!

Here are some pictures I took with Instagram. 

I'll try to give you an overlook of all of my outfits on a later post.

We took off on July 2nd. I was wearing this outfit:

We slept the first and second nights in Izmir.

Great view from our house in Izmir:

Great sunset!

Best french fries ever!

BLOGGER'S WARDROBE & FINSK

Hey Guys!

Usually, I don’t write too much because I believe, most of the times, pictures say what I want to tell you. This time is different. I want to present you, once more, this amazing project: Blogger’s Wardrobe.

“BLOGGER’S WARDROBE is not just any web site, not another way to shop online, and definitely not just an online lookbook. This is a movement and a community and a new way for brands and bloggers to interact.”  in BLOGGER’S WARDROBE

We’ve tried once to join them, but we didn’t make it in the last challenge. But life is made of second chances and here we are, ready to win it!

This community is full of great bloggers and great brands. I’d like to talk to you about this brand: FINSK! This is one of my favorites out of all of the brands in that website.

Finsk produces masterpieces! Finsk produces art! Finsk produces shoes! Shoes that you’ve never seen before! Finsk’s shoes look like they have came out of a fairy tail, but more comfortable! I bet Cinderella is mad at her Fairy Godmother because she gave her crystal shoes instead of Finsk’s shoes! I totally understand Cinderella!

Anyway, I’m glad Blogger’sWardrobe shared this brand with us. But there are other brands in there: take a look!

Blogger’s Wardrobe  is like a family, where bloggers and brands help each other. DSTONE Magazine would love to be a part of it because everyone wants to be a member of a great family.

Have fun!

CHEAP GOES EXPENSIVE

TOPSHOP

All these items are TOPSHOP

My advise for this summer is not to get lost in all the colors designers have brought to you.

Colors are in and so it's keeping it simple.

Pairing something more neutral with a bit of color is perfect for those who prefer to be classy in a different way.

HAVE FUN!
