Come molti di voi già sanno ho un debole per il personaggio di Margot Tenenbaum: qui potete trovare un veloce travestimento DIY che ho creato su Polyvore per Halloween. Qualcuna di voi punterà per un costume da Margot quest’anno?

This photo reminds me of a friend of mine that answered “girls riding a bike” to the question: “which is your kind of girl”? Alexa Chung in fact looks absolutely lovely in a flowered chiffon playsuit by Anna Sui, riding her bike in the streets of New York and wearing the super cute Charlotte Olympia Kitty flats.

Questa foto mi ricorda un amico che alla domanda “che tipo di ragazza ti piace?” rispondeva sempre: “quelle in bici”. Alexa Chung infatti sta benissimo mentre pedala con la sua bici per le strade di New York indossando una playsuit di chiffon di Anna Sui e le ballerine Kitty di Charlotte Olympia.

Inspiring Interiors: Chloe Sevigny’s House, New York

These are a few photos of Chloe Sevigny’s house in New York City that were published by House and Garden and Apartamento. I like that mix of chic shabbiness, unexpected pieces, girls’ wardrobe chaos and vintage, interesting corners. Since a house represents ourselves, probably we should all come out having something like Chloe Sevigny’s eclectic mix, and not matchy matchy flats that often look like they’ve never been experienced by anyone.

Ecco le foto della casa di New York di Chloe Sevigny, pubblicate da House and Garden e Apartamento. Quel misto di shabbiness, pezzi inaspettati, caos da guardaroba di ragazze e angoli vintage e chic donano a questo appartamento una luce parecchio interessante. Poiche’ una casa rappresenta noi stessi probabilmente dovremmo tutti finire per abitare in un eclectic mix come Chloe Sevigny, e di certo non in qualche appartamento con ogni dettaglio progettato, che hanno spesso l’aria di non esser mai stati il luogo dell’esperienza di nessuno.

Details Spotting: I guess that among Chloe’s hats hanging in the wardrobe there’s that hat, the bunny ears from Gummo! In the photo below I could also notice a photo of another muse, Edie Sedgwick: I wonder if Chloe was inspired by her when she had the blond and short pixie haircut.

Details Spotting: Avete notato tra i vari cappelli di Chloe nell’armadio cosa c’e’? Penso proprio che quello che mi pare di vedere sia quel famoso cappello rosa con le orecchie da coniglio dal film Gummo! Nella foto sotto si nota anche una foto di Edie Sedgwick: mi chiedo se Chloe si fosse ispirata a lei quando portava i capelli biondi e corti in stile pixie.

Alexa Chung Did it Again for Superga SS 2012

Do you remember the beautiful photos that were out last year where Alexa Chung was sporting Superga shoes matched with romantic mini dresses in some italian dream garden? The style icon is being again the face of the brand for Spring Summer 2012 campaign, inspired by a sunny and relaxed everyday life.

Vi ricordate quelle bellissime foto uscite l’anno scorso, dove Alexa Chung posava in qualche giardinetto da fiaba italiana con addosso abitini romantici e scarpe Superga? La style icon e’ per la seconda volta testimonial del brand per la Primavera/Estate 2012, che presenta una campagna di foto ispirate ad una rilassata everyday life primaverile.

Here below is my pair of Superga, the classic 2750. They are spotted by paint and a bit torn.. I have them since high school! This reflects a bit the philosophy of the brand, that we can define a “marmite” one: you love or hate Superga, but in the first case, you’ll get them for a lifetime and guaranteed you’ll be attached to them as to your first (irreplaceable) teddy bear.

Qui sotto potete vedere una foto delle mie Superga (il classico, modello 2750), sono macchiate di vernice e tutte rotte, infatti ce le ho dal liceo. Questo riflette un po’ la filosofia del brand, un “marmite” brand a dirla tutta: le Superga si amano o si odiano, ma se il vostro caso e’ il primo, le comprerete per una vita e di sicuro vi ci affezionerete come al vostro primo (e insostituibile) teddy bear.

Many people are choosing these shoes since their versatility, casual and timeless attitude (among the new fans there are also Sienna Miller -photo below-, Katie Holmes and Jennifer Garner), and in the UK some have already said that “Superga is the new Converse“. What do you think of this statement?

Molti stanno passando a queste scarpe per la loro versatilita’ e per lo stile casual e senza tempo (tra i nuovi fan ci sono nientemeno che Sienna Miller -foto sotto-, Katie Holmes e Jennifer Garner), e nel Regno Unito alcuni hanno gia’ dichiarato che “Superga is the new Converse“. Voi che ne pensate?

Both graceful and charming animals, light and nonchalant of gravity, they can be found this spring not only in the lovely weather, but also as prints on dresses and accessories.

Entrambi animali affascinanti e pieni di grazia, leggeri e noncuranti della gravita’, si trovano questa primavera non solo a prendere il bel tempo, ma anche stampati su abiti e accessori

Below, photos I took today of my bird ring in white and yellow gold: it has been made from the shape of a cheap ring I really liked and that got all ruined. My parents found a jeweller that could redo the same ring in gold.. If you wonder why they cared this much to do so, it’s because they call me “little bird”.

Sotto, un po’ di foto che ho fatto oggi al mio anello con un uccellino in oro bianco e giallo: e’ stato ricavato dalla forma di un anellino di scarso valore che mi piaceva molto e che col tempo si era tutto arrugginito. I miei genitori hanno trovato un gioielliere che rifacesse lo stesso anello in oro.. In caso vi chiediate come mai si sono presi cosi’ a cuore questa storia, e’ perche’ mi chiamano “uccellino”.

NY Fashion Week Collection Crush: Calla, J.Crew, Tory Burch and Naeem Khan

New York fashion week has always the same effect on me.. I like everything I see!

La New York fashion week ha sempre lo stesso effetto su di me.. Mi piace tutto!

Calla created a girlie, cool and nonchalant collection that has kind of sexy but comfy lines and  eclectic prints, coloured ink-jet style. I must say this collection really hit me because of the ability of the designer Calla Haynes strongly came up in showing something discrete, not too loud but perfect.

Calla ha creato una collezione cool, rilassata e femminile con abiti che cadono comodi ma anche sexy e dalle stampe eclettiche in stile getti di colore. Devo dire che questa collezione mi ha molto colpito per l’abilita’ della designer Calla Haynes di trovare la perfezione in un prodotto discreto e non troppo chiassoso.

J.Crew: they presented that lovely mix with silk blouses and trousers and knee-long skirts that could be loved by every girl.. I always think a modern Audrey could be seen often in J.Crew in her everyday life, walking down the streets of New York. Oh, and there has been nothing less but the preview of Manolo Blahnink’s shoes collection for J.Crew, classic and plain chic items in pastel and in flower and abstract prints: another reason to wait impatiently for the collection to be distributed.

J.Crew: hanno presentato quell’adorabile mix con top e pantaloni in seta e gonne al ginocchio che piace a ragazze di ogni stile.. Penso sempre che una modern Audrey potrebbe essere spesso vista in J.Crew nella sua vita di tutti i giorni, passeggiando per New York. Ah, e inoltre ha avuto luogo anche la presentazione della collezione di scarpe di Manolo Blahnik per J.Crew, classici plain e super chic nei toni sorbetto e in stampe floreali e astratte. Un’altra ragione per attendere con impazienza che la collezione esca!
