Leaf Greener, Sporty Chic

Leaf has the sporty-chic look down pat. I love how she interpreted the trend in Paris last October (top and bottom images) and how she wore it in Milan this past February (middle image). I also love that she builds the look around specific style essentials: her Miu Miu baseball cap, sunnies and tennis-inspired skirt. Even though the individual pieces are different in mood, e.g., boxy vs fitted sweater, embellished jacket + graphic sweater combo vs minimal grey sweater, she hits a home run on both occasions.

Milan Fashion Week FW12/13 Day 2

I love the mix of greens in Eleonora's lady-like look. The pop of yellow from her handbag and her gorgeous Lucite heel pumps are super special touches!

Elisa's brown and blue combo is super chic. Her sparkly sleeves, panther clutch and crystal floral applique pumps are fiercely brilliant details.

I've been dying to see Prada SS12 off the runway and on the streets. I knew that I could count on Anna. This is stunning!

Camilla's adorable look of turban, mint-green coat with fox detailing, over-size clutch, and booties sent me running down the street to capture this picture. So cute!

How do I love Emily's look? Let me count the reasons: (1) a denim jacket, (2) a fur collar, (3) a patent leather skirt, (4) trouser socks and (5) colorful sandals especially (6) in the winter.

Leaf is the queen of mixing graphic prints and motifs. Her combo here is meow-tastic.

Silvia, one of Grazia.it's very own "IT Girls", effortlessly pulls of a mix cowboy hat and denim shirt, a moto jacket, preppy check pants and white pumps. Damn, she's good!

As happy as a school girl!

Whew hoo! I'm flying to NYC tomorrow for NYFW. So happy to be heading home. Can't wait to see the collections and shoot street style. Now the only thing left to do is pack. I'm so last minute. I swear I'm only giving myself two hours! 

I'm wearing my favorite Max Mara Camel coat, a Prada skirt, blouse, sweater, thigh high socks and earrings, a Gap denim jacket, and Celine kitten heels and Trio bag.

Thanks to the wonderful Lee Oliveira for this super fun pic!

Ms. Caroline Issa

I mean how gorgeous does she look? The Prada earings, the gorgeous Gabriele Colangelo fur, the classic white button down, after all these season's I've still got the biggest girl crush for (her) style.

Outfit Inspiration, Isabel Marant FW11/12

 

I really liked Isabel Marant's FW11/12 collection. And  heck yeah, I'm still bummed out that I couldn't get my hands on a pair of the fringe boots- to hell with personal budgetary constraints. But hey, all the more reason to be inspired to put together an outfit. Here's my take on the over all mood of the collection, lots of Navajo-inspired fringe, cool denim and a bit of cowboy. I'm wearing a suede fringe blazer from Cut, Milano, Rag & Bone Jeans, Prada thigh-high boots, a bag from Bonpoint, hat from Zara and a scarf by Max Mara. I had a lot of fun playing with this look. Were there any looks that you recreated this season that you would like to share? Love to hear about it!

Thanks to the amazing Lee Oliveira for another gorgeous foto!

Willem Dafoe and Adrien Brody Walk Prada's FW12/13 Mens' Show

This evening Miuccia Prada showed a collection dedicated to men in power. To complete her cast of military dignitaries, managers and other men of power, Mrs Prada enlisted high-profile actors such as Dafoe, Brody, Tim Roth, Gary Oldman, Emile Hirsch, Garrett Hedlund, Jamie Bell and twins Alexandre e Victor Carril who walked the catwalk to the sound of cheers. The collection itself was incredible with gorgeous tailoring, impeccable attention to detail and stunning fabrics. I personally love the coats. In fact, Simone Marchetti suggests that I get one next season and wear it as an oversize coat. I have to say that I'm very tempted.
