CONTEMPORARY PORTRAIT

Composed but Approachable. 
Spontaneous, no make up and loose hair, but eating away a frilled D&G shirt and Louboutin sandals of active luxury. 
A tomboy exhaling a girl-like tone. 
Another outfit that reflects my personality, mixed with timeless, informal and trendy pieces. 
True. I dress down everything that comes to my sight. 
And I like it. 
I like realistic apparel for real girls and their real spirit.

MY 6 STYLE TIPS

Same as most people, my taste develops perpetually, but I believe over time I evolved my own style. 
Today I came up with my personal style tips:
1. For day-to-day it’s about ease while still merging trends. 
2. I like to be inspired by the catwalks – I like adopting pieces from here and there and then making  my own expression. 
3. Accessories are really important to me. I suppose they truly create the outfit and support the definition of your personal style, more than clothes. 
4. Dress for yourself first, you have to feel good in your outfit to genuinely look good. 
5. Do not be timid to attempt something unusual for you. Like I did with this new DVF splash of red! 
6. Finally, you don’t have to deplete your credit card. It’s about key pieces, fashion sense and express yourself through your looks.
What are your style rules?

DENIM SHORTS

I like to consider denim shorts an investment to treasure for years. 
Casual, Easy & Versatile, they just improve in the long time. 
It’s a twenty-four hours piece which you can wear day to night and here is how I styled it for you this time.

WHAT DO WE REALLY WEAR?

I trust ease. 
It gives me self-assurance. 
I am not a dress girl, I like my outfits to be always boyish. 
Even when I work, I will wear a T-shirt (lately I prefer linen over cotton). I rely on a daily uniform of essentials: denim or slouchy trousers, tee or shirt and blazer. It is 10 minutes to get ready, including make-up. 
My real favourites are accessories over clothes .. Bags and Shoes are my closet confidentials .. I think they tell a lot about someone’s personality. 
It is all about the message you want to send! Go Girls!!

POWERFUL WHITES

It was time to style whites out, considering it a positive power argument. I won the fear to wear it head to toe and I enjoyed the result. We can also consider it a wardrobe treat or a summer game. The theme of this outfit was to sport layers – opaque versus shine cuts. 
White has always been a summertime standard in every closet and now it is all about sporty ease, just the way I like it.
