Voilà: Mon weekend wish list! Inspired by every blogger’s all-time favorite and one of my personal wardrobe staples: cut-off denim shorts (preferably Levi’s vintage). For early fall I will wear them with a powder toned silk shirt, the new loafers and Chloé-sque retro accessories. So this would be my ideal outfit for the weekend. What’s yours:-)?

I enjoyed every single minute. Pure Dolce Vita!

Just window-shopping! Unfortunately, all shops were closed on Sunday. I will definitely have to come back soon for some serious splurging because Como has the best boutiques!

For me this place holds a lot of memories and emotions as it used to be my weekend escape from Milan’s big city jungle. I tend to get real sentimental everytime I’m there. Lake Como is one of these timeless places that never seem to change.

The beautiful facade of the Palace hotel facing the lake. So beautiful!

Since Stella McCartney brought back the snake print (check out her pre-fall collection!), I’ve been wearing this Zara silk number to death. I recently found it on a pile of stuff that I was going to throw away. It has a beautiful ruched cleavage with a little bow. Thanks Stella for “recycling” this trend sooner than expected;-)! Mixed and matched with my new Missoni kitten heels, my Chloé Elsie bag that I got last winter and a vintage belt.

One thing I’ve learned is that EVERYTHING in fashion will come back. In this case: the skinny belt. My mom bought this one like 20 years ago.

Dress:  ZARA

Belt: Vintage

Bag: Chloé Elsie in burgundy

Shoes: Missoni

Sunnies: Rayban

Che bello! Have a good week everyone!

Wohooo!!! I just found out that my dearest Coupine will stay in Paris and decided this was totally post-worthy! I guess it’s really important to find a place in the world where you just “fit in”. Not only style-wise or socially. But above all it is about finding a place that inspires you and that can give you energy. And the opportunities to get closer to your dreams;-). I feel like Paris can be all that for Nati. Soo happy!

Outfit:

Jacket: See by Chloé

Skirt: IRO

Bag: Chloé

Tights: Wolford

Ballerinas: Repetto

Scarf: Unknown

This is one of my favourite hats. Technically, its not even mine, but I “stole” it from my friend Isa. It’s Vintage and we bought it together chez Episode on Rue Tiquetonne.

Rest of the outfit: Zara shorts and blazer, Isabel Marant plaid tunic, Zadig&Voltaire scarf, Chloe Elsie bag.

Apart from being a truely stellar designer (back then at Chloe and now at Celine…), Phoebe Philo just has this incredible natural beauty!

Have a look at the other shots of the story:

Btw, this first issue of the gentlewoman is absolutely worth reading! It has such a fresh approach and its all about the strong, modern woman…

Voila, a small selection of my favourite streestyle inspirations for Spring:

I believe everything Jeans is gonna be huge! Jeans shirts, jackets, patched up Jeans like the ones from Chloe and playsuits ( I fell in love with this one from ACNE)…

…then there is gonna be lots of beige & khaki and flower prints (go Vintage for that look!)

…and some of our favourites from last seasons like sharp shoulders, leopard and good old chucks in bright colours.

What do you think are the essentials for Spring?!

Former Teen Vogue editor Taylor Tomasi is one of the coolest girls out there when it comes to creative and quirky styling. Plus, she is incredibly pretty in real life. I was truely stunned when I saw her at the Chloe show this week.

Note to myself: I totally need to get myself a pair of glasses similar to hers for this summer. I am crazy about the ones by Linda Farrow for Alexander Wang.

If you want to see more of our Princess of style, check out this article about Taylor in her New York appartment.

She was literally running away from the crowd of photographers, so that’s the best I could get:

p.s: Don’t miss out on the Louis Vuitton lifestream today!! Watch it at 2.30 pm CET, either on the facebook fanpage or on the i-phone.
