"Peek Nowhere" else but here!

They've arrived at my door this morning and I can't wait for another self-indulgent exercise in vanity and images of the new look with these heels as a center-piece!

Cupcake bliss

Today my mother asked me to prepare for her some of my famous (to friends and family) cupcakes for her girlfriends tea-party so I gladly got in business making vanilla cupcakes with two kinds of frosting: the chocolate one is nutella based and the pink one is vanilla with a hint of strawberry. It makes me so happy to bake and feel like an occasional cupcake queen :) You can find some extra cupcake pisc here and here

come home with me in spring.

I'll love those quirky weirdos on my feet next Spring by H&M Spring collection 2012. I imagine them styled with minimal femasculine pieces, sheer dresses, idiosyncratic and eclectic looks infused with both wit and naivety!

Ruby Reverie

Stained glass ruby dress is what I chose today as a canvas to play around with black and mikado yellow details. It has become a fashion shorthand to say to the world that burgundy is the hottest color this season but I'm happy to have predicted that last year when I bought this wool 60's line dress. I love how it's simple yet powerfully related to the allure of an intellectual playful uniform. To me it says: " I'm deep, I'm cool and I can be playful and all grown up" and that's all it takes to be chic and cosy.

    Wearing: wool dress: Stile Benetton, Shirt: Benetton, cardigan: Strenesse Gabriele Strehle, neckpiece: H&M, ballerinas: Marc Jacobs, clutch: Bershka 

The river is moving. The blackbird must be flying.

Today's look was inspired by Wallace Steven's poem "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird" one of the most siginificant poems and inspiration sources in the history of poetry. For me it creates an aura of mystery and ineffable knowledge one that cannot be captured in mundane reality but can be employed as a creative fountain for various visual representations. 

Wearing: Vintage fur knit,  Seventy tweed trousers, vintage Snakeskin black booties, Tous leather purse , Fendi sunnies 

PREEN Spring Summer 2012

Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi's Preen Spring Summer line is a celebration of urban romanctic figures, a clear visual representation of Virginia Woolf's modernist vision and a sorbet coloured pallet of prim dreamy ensembles. Some pieces dominated by ruffles others in multi-color pixilated patterns and floral quasi geometric detailing all accomplishing a pure balancing through the multitude of impressions. "Time Passes" is the title of the second part of Virginia Woolf's 'To The Lighthouse' and present indeed transforms events but the past illuminates the present and Preen designs look ahead from the perspective of the 20th century Bloomsbury Group.

I Hide My Head Under The Covers

A Little Elf Stares At Me

Runs Towards Me But Doesn't Move

I Open My Eyes

Take The Crusts Out

Stretch Myself And Check (If I Haven't)

Returned Again And Everything Is Okay

Still There Is Something Missing

Like All The Walls 

Peek a boo

Nowhere  else can such an avant-garde pair of heels be found. I really believed it so I made them mine in black and can't wait to pair them with a variety of  different looks. You better hurry cause they're going to be out of stock in no time! ;)

Romans 7:19-20

I do not do the good thing I want to do, but I do the wrong thing that I

do not want to do. If I do the thing I do not want to do, it is no

longer I who do it, but the wrong thing in me that does it." Romans 7:19-20
