Monday

   " Today is Monday... but nothing lasts forever."


   We all " love" Mondays. I'm not sure if it is because of getting up early or because it will be a full schedule week... or because time passes so fast that we already find ourselves on Saturday night when we feel like it is just Wednesday afternoon.

   Because almost everybody fears Monday, I've heard that there is a " substancial" variety of sayings related to this day, which is believed to influence or to " predict" the whole week; a lot of people try to be positive on Monday morning, some of them try to make something good for someone, a lot of them avoid spending or borrowing money and so on; but a lot of people choose another way to start a new week with energy and cheerfulness: they put on a lovely outfit which generates delight, joy, comfort and joviality.

   These days I have a preference for those outfits that have a very masculine tone, because I strongly believe that they manage to highlight feminity very well. In other words, this contrast between feminine and masculine favors the sweet, delicate side of a person.

   For today, I have found a perfect match between the two mentioned above, with an extraordinary classy tendency. Take a look:





  










   She is Alexandra, a very nice colleague of mine. She is likes Kristen Stewart( whose style is also very much inspired by the classy masculine looks and who is addicted to the wayfarer sunglasses) and the iconic James Dean( whose outfits almost always contained the classy white shirt). Maybe these two influenced a little her style.
   I love the fact that she combined a lot of accessories without creating a strained look: the hat, the wayfarer sunglasses, the bow( which is adoraaaableeeee!!!), the oxford shoes... Her face and hair are very well revealed by this combination.

   Thank you, Alexandra!
   I'm sure you will all love her outfit.

   Have a nice evening and a lovely week!
   See you soon,
   Kisses, A.

What and When

   I oftenly have to deal with full schedules, meaning that I leave home early in the morning, like 7:30  and I arrive back home maybe later than 12 p.m. You can guess: morning-> school or meetings, lunch-> cafeteria or restaurant, evening-> birthday party or a girl's night out. What shall I wear on that day so that it suits all those events?
   I have seen a lot of very good looking women in inappropriate places... Did they have to face the same full day? It doesn't matter how high is the quality of those women or which brand they belong to as long as they are worn in an unfortunate combination, in a bad moment. Remember: we are not Carrie Bradshaw( the Sex and the City protagonist) to be able to wear whatever, whenever; even Sarah Jessica Parker once said that she would not normally wear some of the outfits used for the TV show. For example: 


Carrie was cute no matter what mostly because of her attitude. She looks great even in these two photos... but these mixture of clothes and accessories are NOT proper for going out. Separately, I would really like to have all those in my wardrobe.

 





   I am sure that most of you have heard about Nina Garcia's books about What and When to wear. I recommend you especially  The LookBook( 2010). It is very useful and very pleasant to read. There is also The Style Strategy(2009), The One Hundred( 2008) and a few more. Here is her official site:

and another site that I hope will also be useful to you:
