Charleston!

   All this luxury! Can't wait to get dressed like a silent movie star, since the hottest news of this season is undoubtedly the 1920s come back and I love it. Dropped waists and straight-line chemises, feathered head bands, pleats, opera gloves and cloche hats. However, for the Spring/Summer 2012 season the 1920s style was only adopted by the evening wear. Still, we have a lot daywear of this decade (including cloche hats, which is not exactly my cup of tea) to see in the Fall/Winter season. Or, if you can't wait until next season, I have found plenty of these at etsy and ebay and I'm sure I'm going to find a lot more after a small search... Till then, feel free to share with us your 1920s findings.

Classic Style Faves...

    Today I thought of introducing you the movie heroes/heroines, where I love to look back every now and then for style inspiration. All of them represent different styles I am fond of, but in the same time they all are elegant and chic. As for the men, they also constitute icons and represent the men's style I mostly admire. I must to admit though that if the same outfits were worn by other movie stars, it wouldn't be the same. It is no coincidence that I admire most of them as actors too and these movies (well, not all of them) are some of my favourites. So, here they are and I hope that some of you agree with me, at least with some of them...

Diane Keaton in Annie Hall
(I prefer though Manhattan)  

Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca 

Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby

Cherry blossoms

   One of the most beautiful celebrations begun today in Washington D.C., a 100 years since the Japanese gave the cherry trees to the Americans. Unfortunately there are not so many left, but it doesn't stop the city to look the most amazing in this time of the year... A ticket to Washington (or Japan most preferably) wanted immediately!!!
