What Makes a Man Attractive?



What are you looking at in a man?
I mean, aesthetically, what you looking for in a boy? I know it's a little bit superficial because a girl should go over a good-looking face and look for other qualities in life, BUT let's be superificial for a moment!
When I asked to my female friends, most of them aswered me saying "Butt! We look at their butt at first!" and I was like "really????". I've never looked at a man's bum as a first thing.. I mean, for me it's not essential.
Personally I'm obsessed with hands and teeth..
I know I seem to be a total psycho, but for me these are almost essential. I don't know why I focus on these two stupid things, but I do.



For me a me a man needs to have really neat hands (even if I don't have such neat hands like I would like to have), it could be a bonus if he has big and fine hands. Maybe I'm obsessed with them because the touch of  nice hands can be really appreciated!

Take Harry Styles' hands, for examples, to me they are perfect. Big, tapered and well-groomed.
Usally I like rings on men, but it depends from their styles and fingers. 


 Let's pass to the teeth.. which are really important to me.
A man can be really attractive just with a great smile. Sometimes they don't need anything else, just that.
And again.. Harry Styles has a great smile! It's almost contagious! But, the basis for a great smile are the teeth! I don't like men with messy teeth. If you have problems with your teeth, for me, you're out! And believe me, I had the worst teeth in the world when I was a teenager but I fixed them and I know how much a good smile can be worth.



 There's another couple of things that can make me appreciate a man: a deep gaze and how he dressed.


Look at Ed Westwick's gaze.. I literally would die with a gaze like that.
*Are you looking at me? really? oh my God, I'm dying. Bye.*


I really like a man in a suits. In my opinion a well-dressed man is the essence of elegance and manliness.







 A well-dressed man literally drives me crazy!
 I love the classic must-have in  a suit but sometimes I also like a little bit of eccentricity. Sometimes a little particular can give to the outfit a slightly improvement.



An accessory that I found really interesting (but the most of them never wore) is the watch. To me a nice watch in a man's wardrobe is fundamental.

I think all women will like that kind of view!





 Who in the world would ever refuse men like these? I hope no one would!



Also the designer and director Tom Ford make a list of the things that every man should have. (I think I might agree with him!)




 But sincerelly I think that the most attractive features in a man will always be the self-confidence (without cockiness please!), kindness, manners and charm.  If you have these qualities you will always win in front of a woman.

So Haute Couture!

It's finally Haute Couture's week in Paris!
Haute Couture and Paris.. It should be heaven on earth... Well, it is heaven on earth!
This year, I have to say that the great ones disappointed me a little meanwhile the unexpected amazed me.

Chanel.. sacred Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld.. I'm sorry but this wasn't what I was expecting. I think that once more, the main inspiration for this season in general is the 1970s fashion, but I don't know.. 70s and Chanel, to me don't mix together every well.





Let's pass to Dior. Another "Big" that didn't impress me much..
Looking at his Haute Couture collection makes me think at 70s discos with the jumpsuits, paillets,stripes and that kind of mid driff.



 

A "Big" that in general don't get me very excited is Atelier Versace, but this year his collection was very gorgeous!
I really loved the shapes of the dresses with these sheer sections and cut outs.

 

 



One of the design of Haute Couture that I really appreciated was Alexis Mabille. Generally I've never paid attention to his collection but this one worth the look. I literally love all the dresses, they are prefect!


 








 



 But my favorite of alla the designers this season I think is Giambattista Valli.
His collection is amazing! Just one word can describe this collection: perfection.
It so fresh, sweet and bon ton. Love it!
The masterpiece is the headband with the pois lace.

 

 


 


Now, we should take a moment and look at the collection of the King of Haute Couture: Elie Saab.
There aren't enough words to describe him.
Just. FABULOUS.

Who run the world? Girls!

Right now for me is not an actual great time.. actually it's since may that is not a great time for me but there are few things that cheer me up like shopping, listening to music or watching series.
I could literally devour 4 seasons in 2 days non-stop! I mean, who, at least once, didn't do it?
However, right now is coming back one of my favourite series: Girls!




It's a comedy-drama that makes you laugh a lot (it happened that I have to stop the episode because I wad laughing so hard! ahah) and makes you think at the same time, because it analyzes some issues of modern youth like unemployment, pursuing your dreams no matter what, relationship, sex, friendship, mental diseases and other.
Most of all it's a series with a female point of view and it represents different kind of women's point of view.



Hannah is the most rambling girl and I love her, she's so sincere and unpredictable that you love her or hate her.










Shoshanna is so random! she's the youngest and the most inexperienced one but she's sweet and a little bit neurotic.





Marnie is the classic "know-it-all" girl, the perfect one but when her certainties fall apart she has to reconsiders her priorities.









Jessa, she's a mess, the mess that everyone love because she's so dangeorous and a carpe diem person, but honestly I hate that kind of person! Persons who don't want to understand the circumstances and the consequences that actions bring with them.




I have to mention also NOT a girl but Elijah, the ex gay boyfriend of Hannah and friend from college from Marnie. He's a literally fresh air when in tense situations.


 


The relations between these characters is a deep friendship but sometimes things are complicated due to the difference of attitudes and choices but at the end they love each other.






By the way Girls is a brilliant show written, produced and played by Lena Dunham, who is so funny and real! What I like about her is that is not a classical beauty and she's not afraid of showing it! She's so self-confident and without restrictions!
I like her way to think!





I can relate a little in each of these girls because all of them say some truth!





To me the best episode so far was the fifth one of the second season. I loved the random "rendezvous" between Hannah and the handsome neighbour.



 (Hello handsome Patrick Wilson!)
-how old are you? 
-42 and you?
-24, don't worry we're basically twins!





 Best line ever! ahah




 I really recommend this tv series, it's worth the watch!


Talk to you soon
