::STYLE BY INSPIRATION #2::

I'm in diet - mode, remember? I'm trying to reduce my everyday dose of sweetness, and it's killing me!!!
However, I couldn't resist to take this image, a delicions Raspberry&Chocolate Mini Tarts, as my inspiration for this week style look.

Key words: sweet, smooth, texture, feminine.
Color palette: a delicate combination of neutrals and soft pinks, mixed with a bright red to turn on the volume.
The look: a girly/ lady-like outfit, perfect for a night out or a formal occasion.

::STYLE BY INSPIRATION #1::

There is a new segment on the blog, it's called "Style by Inspiration". Every week (well.. I'll try!) I will find an image for inspiration, it could be anything or everything; a interior, or a poster, or a postcard, or a dessert, etc, ect. Then, I will analyze the image through some key words that will help me describe the atmosphere or feeling. In addiction, I will make a color palette extracting the hues from the photograph. At the end, all these elements will be useful to create an outfit style. 

I'm pretty excited about this project, it's a good exercise to find inspiration and think outside of the box. Also, if you are not good with color or pattern combinations, this is a good way to start.

Start creating!

::MORE SUMMER TRENDS::

Officially, the summer has started!

Last week, my friend Sager from Glint-Trends, Looks, Shine Blog  posted that right now it was kind of hard to do cool-hunting beacuse everyone is looking the same. I couldn't agree more, unfortunately that is why we called a "trend" because you see it everywhere. I wanted to show you 4 more summer trends that I haven't seen them that much and can be pretty cool to try them out:

1. Total nude: Change your color palette. I know bright colors are so "in" and don't get me wrong, I LOVE color, but you can try a total monochromatic look, from head to toe. I chose nude but it can be any color, it would look refreshing!.

2. Mixed Prints: My favorite! I have been following this trend for a while, and for summer it's always a perfect catch. The best way to accomplish this look, it's to pick two prints that have the same tones of color. It will have an optical effect making the two patterns look alike.

3. Show your Abs: Ok, so to get this look the number one rule is: Zero fat food and a lot of exercises! After that, pick a high waisted pants or skirt with a cropped top, you don't need to show your whole belly just a little bit of skin and the work is done. This look can be very "lady like" too, remember this post!?

4. Girly with sneakers: This trend is perfect for a day full of errands, when you need to be comfortable and look cute as well. Get a girly outfit and paired it with a high heel sneaker, they are so trendy right now. Then, if you need to go out after work, change the sporty shoes for a wedged sandals and you are ready to go!

However you have to be careful, and choose trends that really define you and try to make them look "different" so it doesn't look like we all part of a cult. 

A final tip: Mix Trends! For example: Neon and tribal, sporty with prints or monochromatic patterns... just remember to be creative and have fun!

::RESORT 2013: PRINTS::

Hello Monday! 

A new week ahead of us. Have you noticed something new? I made some little changes on the blog during these last couple of days. I decided I would like to have something more minimal and clean so my posts will be more graphic. The contents will be the same, I only will try to improve the way I present it to you.  

Back to the fashion, have you seen the Resort collections for 2013? For me, these collections are like a sneak peak for the - upcoming - Spring collections that will be showed in September/October at Fashion Week. I noticed there will be a lot of prints; maxi-prints, all-over prints, mix&match prints, animal prints, graphic prints ... and... CAMOUFLAGE?

 Oh yes, indeed! Be prepared!

::Enjoy The Little Things::

Because it's Friday, just enjoy the little things!

::Golden Glitter::

I'm working on a DIY project right know, and this is my inspiration mood .. 

can you guess what it is?

stay tuned!

::The Queen Of Color Blocking::

Elisa Nalin is, definitely, the queen of color blocking! 

She has the ability to create new color combinations and always look stunning!

To do color blocking, I recommend to choose "basic" pieces. The WOW effect will be in the combination of hues, so your items should have a clean and simple silhouette.

I have created three different looks, therefore you can have an idea... it's pretty easy and fun, give it a try!

Which one do yo prefer!??

::A Day for Hearts and Kisses::

Even though, for me, everyday is Valentine's day.

::Art Journals::

So this is how I keep my inspiration and mood-boards all together, I create art journals. Since I was a teenager, I started drawing and doing collage on my school agendas. Then, in college, I needed to collect images for my classes and projects; and now, as a profesional designer, I keep doing it for research as well for fun. I know that right now, with the internet era (tumblr, pinterest and others site) you can save and create your own bank of images online however I consider myself "old fashion" sometimes... because cutting, glueing and hand-writing can be very relaxing!

::Merry White Christmas::
