No. 21

I totally missed this collection from the italian brand N.º21 but I've redeemed myself. It's definitely going to influence me for the next season, I'm loooving the ruffled dresses over the t-shirts, shirts or tanks, I will use this in a near future. It has the "90's stamp" all over.

Are the 90's the next 70's? yes, please...

#Pre-fall 2016

Pre-fall 2016 is here and this "pre-season" is one of the most important for fashion houses, these collections are responsible for most of the sales and they stay in stores for a long time.

 I haven't been a fan of previous Chanel presentations, too excessive, too much show-off and too little design. My theory is that the spectacle is meant to divert ou attention from the flimsy clothes.

This Métiers d’Art collection is presented in different locations every year and this time was no different, the collection was shown in the black and white streets of Paris built in Rome, strange? Yes, but the allusion to the city of light was mandatory given the circumstances.

Once again the show was set and the models walked the runway but this time there was a different mood, a darker, cooler Chanel girl. The models hair and make-up looked a little like 80's groupies and that was a perfect contrast for the 40's Austrian vibe felt in some of the lacy dresses and wool suits.

Do I love some of these looks? Yes. Will they be stuck in my head for a long, long time? No... but I feel a change in the air for Chanel.

Shopping madness

Black Friday is a huge thing in Portugal, since last year. The last time I pretty much lost my head and shopped in three different Zara's and online. This time it was very different, I had a small list of things I wanted to buy and I was able to visit the stores I wanted early in the morning, avoiding most of the madness and hysteria. 

I'm over these marketing strategies that end up creating anxiety and hysteria among customers. I'm all about discounts but I don't want to go through all of this to get a pair of boots and a dress. 

That said, I went shopping the day before black friday and KIKO had jumped the gun and started their "3 for 3" campaing. I bought six items and only paid for three. Since it was the thursday before the Black-Friday stores were empty and displays full of products. Lucky me!
