Trends 2012: Stripes

Horizontal, vertical, maxi or colored, stripes are confirmed as one of the coolest trends for s/s season 2012, always chic and versatile. Perfect with navy style, they're also great if paired with other styles. Not only the classical shades of white, blue, black and red but also pastel and neon colors as mint and acid yellow. A classic revisited in a more easy way, with freedom and imagination. 

Among brands that proposed this tyle we have Fendi, Jean Paul Gaultier and Burberry Prorsum.

10 Crosby Derek Lam, Boy and Girl by Band of Outsiders, Mulberry s/s 2012
Daks, Jean Paul Gaultier, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac s/s 2012

I like stripes: they're so stylish! You can match each other or combine them with other prints...


Many are the low cost proposals by brands like H/M, Stradivarius, Zara and Promod.

How to choose the right swimsuit

Summer is coming and the desire of vacation, of sun and sea is more and more stronger. The proposes of fashion may help, yes, but before show us in public, is necessary to prepare to swimsuit proof and choose the right type for our body. If you have given up to lunch of cereals, to yogurt that contain only 1% of fat, if you have eaten carbohydrates after four o' clock in he afternoon or if you enrolled in the gym but you went there only 3 times, meditate on your mistakes, take a breath, move on and buy a new swimsuit!

The fashion trends of the season are ample. From bikini to one-piece, there's for every taste. Vintage 50's swimsuits with wide necklines and shapes that emphasize the silhouette. For your nights of glamour on the beach you can opt for tones of gold and silver, to shine at sunset light. 
As for shapes, there also is for colors an ample choice. They range from pastels (a true must - have of season) to more bright colors like fuchsia, cobalt blue or coral. Last but not least, prints: animal, tropical, geometric and tribal... The fabrics are technical and preformed and parade next to crochet inserts and romantic details like ruffles.  No matter what is your choice, you'll find whatever you're looking for.

But, you know, every year found the right swimsuit it's not the most simple of problems...it's important to always follow your taste but you have to choose also, and above all, based on the morphology of your body. So, that's for you a little list of tips to "guide" you to choice of the best swimsuit for you.
Firts step, you have to figure out what's the type of your body: not every everyone, in fact, can wear the same typology of swimsuit. So, check it out and see what is your type.

HOURGLASS PHISIC
This is the most harmonious of silhouettes: chest and hips have the same circumference, the waist is thin and well defined. With this body, you can wear every type of swimsuit. Be careful to one-pieces: if they don't have the right cut they may not enhance your curves.
  • Bikini: bra and low ries briefs. The first supports and anhances your breast, the seconds highlight the wasp waist.
  • One-piece: opt for 50's vintage swimsuits. The will mark the waist and emphasize the curves. No to sporty swmsuit, 'cause they make no justice to sinuosity of your curves.

RECTANGLE PHISIC
 Chest, waist and hips have the same circumference. In this case, it's important to disguise the absence of a well defined waist emphasizing breast and hips.
  • Bikini: this is the best choice, the triangle bra enhances your breast. You can wear both slips and coulottes. If your seat is flat, instead, it's better to wear the coulottes 'cause it enhances the roundness. Avoid sporty and preformed swimuit: they emphasize the edginess of your body.

TRIANGLE PHISIC
 The circumference of chest is less than hips. To rebelance the slhouette it's important to focus the attention to the upper part of the body.
  • Bikini: the best option is ruffle bras that emphasize the volume of brest. To hide the hips, choose simple shapes and dark colors. 
  • One-piece: the purpose is always the same: hide the hips. So, opt for two-color swimsuit: bright color for the upper part of body and dark ones for hips area. No to shorts, coulottes and low rise briefs.

INVERTED TRIANGLE PHISIC
 The circumference of chest is bigger than waist and hips. 
  • Bikini: go with thong, and low rise briefs. For the bra, choose simple models that form a V-neck. In this way, the shoulders will be less wide. 
  • One-piece: also in this case, choose a simple model that form a V-neck and bet on unusual shapes, strapless or with straps that close behind the neck, to focus attention on the body and not on shoulders. Try to avoid tout court swimsuits, the important is not emphasize the shoulders.

CIRCLE PHISIC
 The waist is bigger than chest and hips. The main thing is slim and slender the abdomen.
  • Bikini: if you don't want to give up to bikini, choose one with high-waist pants and restraining bra.
  • One-piece: for women a little more meat, the best choice is one-piece that hides belly and hilighlights the breast, trough preformed cups. No to bandeau and triangle bikini and olympic swimsuit. The breast is your strentght, don't hide it!

Whatever is your body type, whatever is your style do not forget your sunscreen, the risk  of wrinkles is always around the courner! And just rember: expose yourself to sun responsibly!

Fashion trends 2012: pastel colors

Fashion and trends for s/s 2012 are so many, everyone can find her own style, playing with contrasts and monochromatic and multicolored combinations. The good of fashion is to experiment with news, eccentric or chic proposals, according to taste: we have seen fluo colors, white, ethnic and navy style, 50's revival, prints of every type, clothes that look like sweet candies, the fascinating deco style, 3D fashion etc. But, one of trends that I loved the most, is pastel colors: sweet, discreet and romantic, suitable for day and night. Cream, pink, light blue, mint are not news, but a lovely confirmation. Pastel colors are back to paint spring with a particular "candy" effect. The pallet of colors plays with soft shades, even mixed together. 

A romantic style, that make us feel like child, but if it's calibrated with more aggressive accessories and inserts, can become more whimsical and particularly seductive. A delicate and whispered femininity, for a candy look, soft and gentle of true good girls. 
Several brands were conquired by the tenderness of pastel colors. Among them, there are: Louis VuittonRalph Lauren and Etro.

Mulberry, Luca Luca, Versus, Hussein Chalayan s/s 2012
Jason Wu, Issey Miyake, Luisa Beccaria, Unique s/s 2012
Preen, Agnes B, Doo.Ri, Akris s/s 2012

Prada, Marc Jacobs, Cacharel, Louis Vuitton s/s 2012
Ralph Lauren, Jonathan Saunders, Alexander McQueen, Rochas s/s 2012
Nina Ricci, Reed Krakoff, Zac Posen, Costume National s/s 2012
I love these coloras: they look like some sorbets... This year, we will wear pastel colors everywhere: from head to toe. You can opt for a total look or combine them together, just like that:

Spring pastels - Helleka's polyvore

Pants, skirts, dresses, blazers and blouses dress up with colorful flowers, creating, sometimes, a total floral effect even on shoes and accessories. Among brands that proposed floral style, there are Moschino cheap and chic, Blumarine, Blugirl and Louis Vuitton.

A versatile style both romantic and lively, suitable for day and night if it's matched well. Personally, I think that a floral total look it's too much, I prefere just one or two pieces to combine with a other basic ones, just like that:

Since I was a child, I've always been attracted by shiny things as a thieving magpie, so I like the idea of wear a gold waterfall even if, I have to admit, that I'm not a big fan a total gold look... I think it's a bit tacky! But, at the same time, I think that on a basic outfit a gold insert, gives a particular glamorous touch!

Clothing, fabrics and accessories (as shoes, bags and belts) can give a safari touch to your look, as an exotic and refined traveler. Safari is the syle of a woman who can be elegant, sporty, practical and elegant in every moment. Maxi dresses, leather accessories, vintage suitcase for an african look, very stylish!
