It seems like a Face Hunter kind of picture, pure Yvan Rodic style, but no, I personally took it in Milan, Castello Sforzesco, last February during Fashion Week.

Storing all my photos I found it quite appropriate even approaching summer time so here it is, summer picks at your fingertips!

Round John Lennon sunglasses, an evergreen, the kind of accessory that if it melts perfectly at your face you'll never get rid of it, and a nice foulard knotted on the head. The frame/colors' choice is yours.

No way, rain keeps falling down without giving signs of stopping nor that nice weather will come back soon. Not so bad, I've been so busy lately that I completely shelved my magazines, three issues of Vogue one upon the other with a finger of powder over them: today will be Reading Sunday. 

March issue is always my favourite one because it's all dedicated to power and its expression through people: let's point out, power is not absolute strenght, power is the ability to achieve our objectives despite all weaknesses that hinder us, at least from my point of view. 

Among all articles, the one I literally devoured is by Hamish Bowles on Riccardo Tisci, italian-born artistic director of Givenchy. There's one thing I can't resist, besides drama tv series for the record, and this is perseverance. 

I can't stop smiling of satisfaction when I hear about people that humbly, firmly and with huge sacrifices get near their goals, that's the only way to give meaning to our lives. Ninth son of a poor family grown up dressing altered elder sisters' clothes, at seventeen Tisci left Italy to make his fortune in London where he did it, thanks to his curiosity and his being always hungry for something beautiful. What happened next is all history: head of a great Maison, with its founder, at that time, still alive and supportive. 

Never think that just one in a million, the lucky one, will succeed, if you really want it and you are willing to take your risks and make sacrifices, you will get it.

Just a short post with a couple of nice pictures I took months ago.

At this point you probably know what I appreciate of an outfit: basic pieces, I mean YOUR own basic pieces, the ones you trust in blindly, various materials, denim, leather, fur, why don't take advantage of everything on our disposal, and last but not the least a kind of personal touch, something nice like her sparkling collar. I found it the perfect combination during days like these with their fluctuating weather.
