Celine, Icon of Style

Sooo, I would like to talk about a celebrity who recently came back under the spotlights. It's Celine Dion! Oh I've always loved her! I remember my mum listening to her music on and on and of course I learned all the lyrics.
After her world wide success for the soundtrack of Titanic with "My heart will go on", she rode the wave of the moment with a lot of catchy and great songs and she gained a residency show in Las Vegas.
But now she's back! She has a world tour and she became a fashion icon! The outfits and looks that she sports recently are amazing!! From haute couture to a more casual fashion.

Next stop: Paris

After London and Milan we're finally in Paris, just in time for the first flashes of spring!
Let's get staraight to the collections, because this fashion week gave us a lot to take note about the upcoming trends in fashion.

Saint Laurent in LA

Saint Laurent decided to present its menswear collection in Los Angeles.
The brand took by storm the Palladium in LA to show not only its fall/winter menswear but also the first part of the woman's collection that will be disclosed in the next fashion week.

 

Best dressed of 2015

Finally 2015 ended! I'm really happy that 2015 is behind us because I can say that this year was the worst of my life. I really hope that 2016 will be nicer because I need some rest.
Buuut let's talk about what was good in 2015.. Fashion!
2015 highlighted some personalities with a great taste for what concerns clothes, fashion and style.
 
Selena Gomez was one of them. She developed a very strong and confident style that I appreciate a lot!
She's young and she needs to dress in the right way for her age so her style is modern and a little bit street-chic and then she wears these amazing pieces of high fashion.. wow! That's exactly how I would like to dress daily if I was a little bit more confident about me.

 

 

 

 

A Breath of Spring

From Milan to Paris.. Here we are again for the best Ready To Wear collections of  Paris Fashion Week.
Paris is one of the best locations for fashion, for example, Dior expressed itself creating a floral covered dome in the courtyard of the museum of Louvre. It was such a clever idea for the S/S  rtw colletions: in the middle of fall you can find a breath of spring made by a waterfall of blue and purple flowers in the middle of Paris.

It's Oscars time!

Finally! It's here! The Oscars are here!
And with them they arrived the bestest and waited outfits of the season!
Wow! Last night there were such  amazing dresses that I don't know where to start!
Btw, the main colors of the event were red with a touch of black and white; but of course there were someone who dared more with some different color.

Let's start from the big color: red!
In my opinion, with this dress, Rosamund Pike redeem all the previous "not-so-wow" outfits!
This  Givenchy red embroided dress was amazing! very elegant but modern at the same time. ROsamunf completed her outfit with Lorraine Schwartz jewels.

Now, its' Dakota Johnson' turn! Oh Anastasia you got it!
Dakota chose a bright red Saint Laurent with a jewelry and sparkly strap, all matching with Forevermark diamonds.

Here's another woman who completely won! Behati Prinsloo aka Adam Levine's super gorgeous wife and Victoria's secret angel. She wore a stunning dress by Armani Prive matching the tuxedo of her handsome husband.

Anna Kendrik chose a wonderful custom Thakoon dress with Brian Atwood shoes and Norman Silverman jewelry. She's lovely!

Lupita Nyong'o wore a white, open back custom gown by Calvin Klein with Nicholas Kirkwood shoes. The dress must weight a lot with all those magnificent pearls all over! But who cares.. it's fashion!

 
Jamie Chung remind me of a cute little princess with her Yanina Couture's gown. So sparkly and wispy! Love it!

Margot Robbie opted for a beautiful classic black dress. She wore a  Saint Laurent dress and Van Cleef & Arpels Jewelry.

 

Emma Stone chose perfectly like always! She never got it wrong recently! She always wear the perfect dress for the occasion.
Last night she wore a lively and sparkly lemon green dress by one of my favourite designer: Elie Saab.

But my favourite outfit of the night were the dresses wore by Chrissy Teigen, Sienna Miller and Zoe Saldana. They completely centred the point!
Chrissy Teigen wore a pastel light blue Zuhair Murad  dress with an amazing slit.
Loved her so much!

Sienna Miller enhanced a creation of one of the biggest and one of my favourite designer, the recently passed away and icon Oscar de La Renta. She wore a super elegant but simple black and blue dress by Oscar de La Renta with  Prada shoes, a Christian Louboutin bag and Forevermark jewelry. So chic!

But the best dressed to me was the beautiful Zoe Saldana. She was beautiful! I mean, she had twins not even two months ago! Look how she perfectly  fit that dress! 

She wore a custom Atelier Versace dress with Versace shoes and Neil Lane jewelry. Amazing!

I would die to look like her in that dress!

Here it is a little close up to a woman's best friends: diamonds! And not any diamonds but Harry Winston's 85 carats diamonds which Karolina Kurkova wore beautifully last night with her pale pink dress. Literally a dream!

Enough about fashion! Here's the winner of the Oscars 2015!
Eddie Redmayne won for the the leading actor, Julianne Moore for the leading actress and JK Simmons and Patricia Arquette for the best supporting actor and actress respectively. Congratulations!

 That's all!

Talk to you soon

Paris, c'est chic

It's the international woman's day week and also Paris Fashion week!
What a better way to celebrate the best designer 's view of women  through the latest fashion trends?
It's Paris, the most romantic and chic city in the world and it's fashion week! I'd pay a ton of gold to be there.

Let's start with Balmain. This year its collection is very colorful and despite I am a "always wear black girl", I really liked it. The main colours are green, yellow, purple, orange and black, which are fall colours that really trend in in the recent years.
The sartorial line is clean and flowing but also geometrical.
The main accessory used in this collection is the high waisted color belt with golden buckle.

I have to admit that I was disappointed by one of my favourite designer Elie Saab. Ok, this a Fall/Winter collection and I must have dark colours in it, but I don't know, I feel like he held back all that "wow" that generally characterized all his collections.
This collection was really dark and classic. I mean.. where are the sparks?

 

Also Gianbattista Valli was a little bit subdued and dull. Maybe it's because of the dark colours in relation on his last lighter ready-to-wear collection.

 

 Valentino used his customary and signature classic and clean lines. The collection was characterized by a very elegant black and white. I really liked the little black dresses with lace and fringe details.

 

 

At the end of the show appeared two super models! Derek and Hensel in all their glory! Great idea to promote Zoolander 2!

 

Chanel decided to invite us to Brasserie Gabrielle for lunch. Karl Lagerfeld proposed the classic Chanel's tailleur but today it is updated with modern shapes on the sleeves or on the skirts.

 

 

  One of the designer that I usually understimate is Rochas, that this year created a really nice, simple and delicate collection which I loved.

 However my favourite was Saint Laurent who created a rock punk 80's collection. It is genial! This collection mixed elegance and grunge style, classic and modern, rock and chic, male and female. Just perfect!

 

 

 I really appreciated the sheer and pois shirt! So chic!

That's all for now.


Talk to you soon
