Just came back from a short trip to my favourite spot in the world: Lago Maggiore (a.k.a. THE lake!). Its mediterranean flair and the good old 70′s-glam that has somehow never left make this place very inspiring. Yet it is totally quiet and relaxing unlike other lakes in Northern Italy. My sis and I decided to take some shots right before sundown trying to catch the gloaming light:

Intense greens = perfect contrast for my 70′s-inspired outfit! These shorts are not exactly flattering…I know, I know.

Silk-shorts: Zara, knitted top: LaLa Berlin, belt: Asos (borrowed from my sis), clutch & sandals: Bottega Veneta.

We took these pics right before going out for dinner. This is what my sister was wearing:

sequined dress: H&M, cardigan in nude: Zara, bracelets: Chinese pearls and vintage Tiffany, studded bag: Zara, booties: Fendi.

Enjoy the last days of summer;-)!

She-Ra a.k.a. the Princess of Power was the super heroine of my sister and I when we were kids (actually we were not allowed to watch the cartoon on TV – which made She-Ra and her male equivalent He-Man even more interesting!). So when TOPSHOP launched a t-shirt collection (a while back) with the 80’s-comic figure Sarah obviously had to get one. The She-Ra tee quickly made its way up to the top of favourite t-shirts and has been much loved since. With a little help of these awesome Fendi-booties and a printed summer skirt we thought it would make a post-worthy outfit.

Watch out for Miss She-Ra and her Fendis: higher fashion-power!

The booties are made of black suede with a mesh-like material in the front and cool zippers in the back. Perfect for a smooth transition into fall! Damn, I wish we had the same shoe size…

Skirt: Zara S/S 09, bracelets: Urban Outfitters, Mytho, nailpolish: from Australia.
