Always in fashion

The style of Hitchcock's leading ladies never goes out of fashion, but I was quite suprised to find Versace doing this classic iconic style! Somehow I've locked my mind to Versaces own iconic "supermodel" style of the 90's ;-)

I just adore these cool and impeccable tailored dresses, and if only that middle dress came in "eau de Nil green" even Hitchcock should be impressed ;-) So ladylike, but still clean and modern, rather than a constructed history lesson.

Seems like there's lots of impeccable tailoring, and classic elegant clothes this autumn. Banana Republic is celebrating 3 decades of style with a gorgeous collection of ladylike apparel, and Jesica Milton has created the best pencil skirt I've seen in years, so check out her Etsy shop! ;-)

DIY Headscarf

                 

Image by me ;-) Don't laugh. Its my first attempt at drawing with a mouse!! Scarf by Hermes (Who else?!)

If you, like me, can not boast the hair qualiy of those Italian beauties in some of my past post, I'll tell you what I do if you still want to wear a headscarf without it sliding down.-)

I have lots of silk scarves that I like to use in different ways, so I'm not going to sew in the and destroy their multipurpose use.

This is what you do: Get a flat,broad plastic hair band. Fold your scarf like you'd normally do when using it as a head scarf, just broader. Fold over plastic hairband, leaving ca 50mm on each side on the top, and a little less towards the sides. Fasten with safety pins ;-)

Simple and useful!

A peek at Autumn

Linda Evangelista by Steven Meisel, Vogue Italia Giugno 2008 

Today I bought Vogue Italia, the August issue, and the cover is the best magazine cover I've seen in years! (Scanner's not working, and I've searched everywhere to find it..so I had to use another photo from the story)  Steven Meisel has photographed Linda Evangelista for the fashion photo story "The Dutchess Linda Evangelista." She looks like taken out of a 1950's movie and its fabulous ...the whole story is one big treat!

You can see the complete story in Vogue Italias Photostory Archive, which I discovered today, and which by the way is fantastic!!! (Click on the link to the Photostory on the left hand. Click on Archive on the bottom of the page. Choose your story :-))

Headscarf obsession

After posting the image of Sophia Loren in that gorgeous pink and green headscarf the other day I've kind of gotten a bit of a headscarf crush, and here is another chic Italian, Claudia Cardinale wearing a headscarf!

1 week and 5 days left....

I'm channeling my inner Sophia Loren these days so that when I leave for Sicily in 1 week, 5 days I'll master the casual, innocent, sexy style of her younger days :-) Wish me good luck ;-)!! (I'll be needing some luck, and loads of black eyeliner !) 

Its pouring, and I'm in love with denim blue...

Today its pouring down over here, and after spending the last weeks in light vibrant colored clothes, I'm in need for something else.. and I adore this shorts and jumpsuit by Sweedish designer Ida Sjöstedt. So casual and cool! Perfect for the Scandinavian summer :-) You can buy Ida Sjöstedt's clothes at 111VOX.com
