Spring Wardrobe Plans

As the spring is approaching (well, I know, it snows heavily and all, but, as for the wardrobe plans, it's always better to give it a thought in advance, and, still, we're not fashion insiders to start reflecting on spring 2011 in October 2010), I've been thinking of a way to transform my current inspirations into something tangible, actual wardrobe pieces.
Here's the result of my musings.
1.Right clothes should make you look taller and thinner, this means high heels, basics, no frills or other extra details, and plain silhouette.
2.I love basic colours, and since last spring, nude, the colour of the human body, has been my favourite. I'd like to have a plain nude top to wear it with what comes as point 3...
3.A long chiffon skirt (black, preferably), to add a poetic hint.
4.The essential part of an outfit is the accessories. I wear my masculine wristwatch day in, day out. Another inevitable piece is a tiny gold necklace (the one with a swallow).
5. For the cold rainy days there's still my leather jacket, which I'm going to wear this spring, too, with a leopard beret and ankle boots.

Drawing a portrait...

...calms me down right away

Les Italiennes

Here are some photos of the ever-elegant and flawless Italian women . With that mild climate of Italia you can wear silk blouses and beautiful dresses, the precious privilege. The ideal Italian woman should resemble the heroine of Amedeo Modigliani's portraits - slender and graceful. So here are my favourite Modigliani's women portraits and their XXI century reincarnations.

The Voguettes

The Vogue Paris crew is adorable. Not only they look incessantly chic but they also look like people making not an overpriced luxury catalogue (a thing that most magazines turned into), but something that women flock to for actual fashion. Their style is easily recognizable: long legs, high heels, black from head to toe. Due to these minimalist leanings, the effect is long, lean and handsome. It possesses the charm of the nonchalance and refined arrogance.
As I find Emmanuelle Alt's and Géraldine Saglio's style most appealing and very inspirational, I was very pleased when the news came that Emmanuelle was appointed the editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris. Mes congratulations!








P.S. This is my favourite look par Géraldine.
