Inspiration to dream

Posted on by

Dream and love the daily luxury in your life 💙. If you don’t love some things in your life, try to change them by choosing a life you dream of, all the things you hope for and the daily luxury you love. Whether it is something small or big, you only need to start somewhere. It may take baby steps to find your dream job, the love of your life, to learn a new language, to travel the world, to become a more beautiful and healthy person. Do what you love, go on an adventure and go with the waves. Dreams, love and hope will be all that you need in your suitcase (and some beautiful clothes and style, ofcourse).

This is a love note to you. I’ve collected these beautiful lines to draw inspiration from to start the new year with new dreams, love and hope. Namasté.

💙 Always find time for the things that make you feel happy to be alive.

💙 Follow your dreams and intuition. They know the way.

💙 Il dolce far niente.

💙 Your love is one in a million_ Aaliyah.

💙 I love you to the moon and back.

💙 In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities.

💙 I wish I had done everything on earth with you_ F.Scott Fitzgerald in the Great Gatsby.

💙 Little things, make big days_ Isabel Marant.

💙 Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our heart.

💙 Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten_ Lilo and Stitch.

💙 When words are both true and kind, they can change the world_ Buddha.

💙 My mind and my heart are my temples. My religion is kindness_ Dalai Lama.

💙 If you get, give. If you learn, teach_ Maya Angelou.

💙 No mud, no lotus_ Thich Nhat Hahn.

💙 Be the change you wish to see in the world_ Gandhi

💙 Education is the most powerful weapon to change the world_ Nelson Mandela

💙 Dreams come a size too big, so we can grow into them.

💙 The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing_ Socrates.

💙 If you can dream it, you can do it_ Walt Disney.

_All I want for Christmas, Mariah Carey

The winter is a beautiful season because of xmas! The Christmas season is all about love and giving. My xmas wishlist is becoming a long one, because of all the daily luxury in the boutiques around Christmas time. Beautiful Valentino boots, beige Choo’s, Tiffany’s bracelet from the Blue Book (inspired by the ocean), Bulgari watch, winter white and beige cashmere knitwear, lovely lace or silk dress, Dior makeup, Acqua di Parma Arancia di Capri, coffee table books, lovely Liu jo bag that looks like a fairytale book…

I love the xmas song by Mariah Carey, and though all I want for xmas is you… I do like to have all the daily luxury on my dream list, too (I’m sorry ). Merry xmas and may all your wishes come true!

Winter luxury 💙

Posted on by

This winter is going to be a cool season. The beautiful winter luxuries that are in store now make you forget about summer and long for the snow. My wishlist of winter luxuries is a long one. First of all, I would love to have the lovely, winter beige Choo high top trainers and beautiful, black Valentino boots with decorative studs (Valentino, Choo, Shoebaloo). A beautiful backpack or bucket bag are the coolest bags of the season (Valentino, Liu jo, Patrizia Pepe, Paul Warmer). Secondly, the lovely Liu jo jeans and the Liu jo down jackets from the Les Plumes collection are beautiful basic items for all your winter looks (Liu jo). The warm and comfy cashmere dresses and sweaters in winter white and lovely beige are essential winter luxuries (Repeat Cashmere, Liu jo, MaxMara, Twin-Set, Patrizia Pepe). For beautiful, dewy skin you need the delicious soft Dior sorbet cream and Dior serum sorbet against the winter cold. A lovely winter makeup in beige and brown tones, inspired by the nineties look, can be created by a little Dior nude air foundation, Dior bronzer and the Dior sunkissed nailpolish (Dior).

The cool season in NY

The cool season in New York begins with fashion week. The beautiful spring and summer collections on the runway brought a cool and colorful crowd of fashion editors, bloggers and models. The bold and beautiful trends of the season were noticeable in the NY Streets. It is all about denim, high heels and cool bags. And the casual coolness and nonchalance of it all looked a little like New York in the nineties, back in the days.

💙 The distressed, loose fit, and boyfriend denim jeans are styled with a tee and top (Liu jo jeans, Twin-set, Pinko)

💙 The mini dresses are cool and comfortable in beautiful shades of blue, white or beige (Maje, Isabel Marant, Twin-Set)

💙 Blue denim and leather jackets (Armani jeans, Twin-Set)

💙 The choice of shoes: dress it all down with sneakers or upgrade the casual outfit with colorful high heels (Nike, Choo, Acquazzura, Valentino)

💙 The colorful, printed bags give a hint of color to blue denim and tees (Dolce & Gabbana, Choo, Valentino)

As the summer is ending, you need some beautiful knitwear to keep you comfy and warm in the days towards winter. Don’t feel sad about the ending of summer and enjoy the in between season by wearing beautiful beige and winter white in a delicious mix of soft cashmere, cotton, silk and denim. The winter season is coming, and you need to invest in warm, soothing winter basics. The winter collections are beautiful, from the beige cashmere and silk dresses from Patrizia Pepe (www.patriziapepe.it), the warm and chique overcoats from Max Mara (www.maxmara.it), and the soft sweaters from Twin-Set (www.twinset.it) and Repeat Cashmere (www.repeatcashmere.com). Wear this lovely warm knitwear with your favorite Liu jo jeans (www.liujo.it), and beige Choo’s, Acquazurra, Burberry or Valentino heels. Those are the winter luxuries you need for chique days running around town or comfy days at home. Be warm and fluffy.

Summer sadness

So while the summer is coming to an end, a feeling of summer sadness comes to me. As the schools are welcoming back the kids, offices are back in running again, and the memories of summer vacations fade away, the summer season seems to be over again. Before you know it, you are in school again or back in the office, back in the daily rhythm of life. Don’t give up on the cool summer feeling, though, this easy-like-Sunday-morning-sitting-on-the-dock-of-the-bay kind of feeling. The summer days are not over yet, and need to be spent near the sea, on the beach, and in the city parks. When the days are still warm and the evenings are becoming cool and crisp, you can still wear a lovely tee dress with a denim or leather jacket (Liu jo, Armani Jeans, Nolita), a warm cashmere knit dress over bare legs (Patrizia Pepe, Repeat Cashmere, Twin-Set), or beautiful Liu jo jeans with an off shoulder sweater (Liu jo, Maje). Enjoy an ice cream and late summer dinners on the beach. I feel a little comforted by the beautiful fall and winter collections that this feeling of summer sadness will pass, and make way for excitement for the cool season to come 💙.
