There has always been, and will always be something about the french girls… That it’d be the way they hold their cigarettes, their attitude or the way they master the art of looking effortlessly elegant. You will always be able to recognize a Parisian from the rest of crowd…

The “Parisiennes” are not only known for their minimalist and monochrome wardrobe, but also for their ability to ignore the trends while never looking out of tune… This being said, I love the way this lovely Frenchie revamped her classic black and white outfit with this season’s “must have”, sporting an emerald green coat and a beaded plastron necklace…

My favorite accessory?

Her smile..!

In just three days of interval I had the opportunity to photograph the same Roberto Cavalli blazer jacket on two very different women. I thought it would be interesting to put the two pictures together as although the jackets are the same, the two looks came out completely diverse. That is I guess one of the thing I find the most interesting about fashion, the way people interpret it to make it their own. As we all know, there are countless ways to wear our clothes so it is always nice to see this rule applied in real life…

The first image was taken last, outside the Cavalli show, not because I had seen the jacket before but just because I found this girl very stylish with her sequined mini skirt and also as I really liked her attitude… And her shoes! She decided to wear the jacket on it’s own, and although they are a few different prints going on in this outfit, I think she made it work quite well…!

In the picture below, the lovely Ingrid Chua, from The Bag Hag Diaries is wearing the complete Cavalli suit and accessorized it with a mini orange Hermès… Even if sometimes too much of Cavalli can kill the Cavalli, I think she also made it work and looks very elegant…

What about you… Which look do you prefer?

The first time I met Maria Kolosova, was last September in Milan… I took a shot of her while she was waiting outside a show, and that picture became one of my favorite among all the ones I posted on the blog…

Therefor I was really happy to see her again in February, especially as this time we got to spend some moments together and chat … As I already told you  last time, I just love her style which I find extremely cute and elegant. And it is not only an appearance as she is really adorable… She has a blog and an upcoming fashion line made of exquisite pieces which are an extension of her own wardrobe. As a matter of fact she was wearing one of her own skirt…

Contrary to what you might think, the coolest accessory from this last fashion week wasn’t a pair of shoes* nor a bag or even a hat… It was a dog..!

I find that the great thing with dogs is that they fit any outfit, any season and any style… They are always a match and whichever mood they are in, they make a random picture look so much more amusing..! On the other side, unlike clothing, they have a mind of their own and they wouldn’t simply obey to you, photographers or anyone really, just to make a good picture. Which in the end is fine as it is totally part of their charms…

So, which one of these little dogs is your favorite?
