Summer 2015

Don't ask me to talk abou light colors and flowy fabrics in January ou February, it's not in my nature but in the last couple of weeks Spring made it's appearence and I finally started to show real interest for summer clothes and trends, check out my Pinterest summer board so you can see what is catching my attention for the sunny season.

By far, the most influential collection for me and the rest of the world was Chloé's bohemian Spring Summer 2015 collection. The color pallete (indigo, toffe, mustard yellow, white and hints of pastel colors), the accessories, the clothes and their materials, the way the models were styled... They set the guideline to follow and I tend to obey them.

PFW in a nutshell... #1

Chloé

My big crush every season, and this one is no exception, Chloé rocking the boho-chic look like no one else can. The understatement of the season would be for me to say that I would like to own every piece of clothing that Chloé designed for this season. This collection makes a smooth transition from the flowy bohemian spring summer collection to the the stiffness that winter clothes implie. The Chloé woman doesn't loose a bit of it's grace just because it's cold outside, that's for sure.

Céline

I can't say that this is my favorite work from Phoebe Philo but I think it's growing on me. slowly... I'ts not easy to spot the influences, I think it looks like a self-indulgent work from the designer that told Style.com that "The best part of this job is finding out more about myself,". I'm all about self- indulgence these days so, i'll give her a chance.

Stella McCartney

It's not easy to sum up this collection in 4 looks so I would definitely recommend a "trip" to  Style.com to see all the looks from the show. I tried to sum up the silhouettes and styles throughout the collection but all I really wanted was to show you the knits. Oh the knits made my day until I saw the winter macramé dresses, was that ever done?

Saint Laurent

All I can say about this is that I really wish Saint Laurents Hedi Slimane would conjure up something new. We've seen these type of looks every season and soon or later people will get tired. I'm tired and  I was a huge fan of the grunge revival... 

Hermés 

This leather jumpsuit is everything. I repeat, Everything.

Gianbattista Valli

Now, there is a sight for sore eyes. Love the styling, layering clothes like a pro is mandatory for winter and Valli is at pro-level. You can't be surprised for my love for this collection, there are sequins in day looks, graphic prints in pastel colors, furs and knee high laced up booties. It's what I call a "win-win situation".

To be continued... Chanel just presented its collection.

Bags, Bags, Bags...

The two bags I would buy for Spring (and for the rest of my life) if I had 2000 and something euros to spend in bags.

PFW#1

A romântica em mim não podia deixar de dar uma espreitadela na colecção da Chloé. Esta seria sem dúvida uma das marcas abundantemente presente no meu guarda-roupa, caso ganhasse o euromilhões, o que deve ser complicado visto que raramente jogo, enfim pormenores... Quem nunca jogou ao "O que compravas se te saísse o euromilhões?". No meu jogo o que mudava, essencialmente e drasticamente, era o meu guarda-roupa e pouco mais, não quero carros espectaculares, não quero mansões em capitais europeias, quero um cantinho giro com um bom guarda-roupa, bilhetes de avião ilimitados e esta colecção da Chloé.
