Do you believe in horoscopes? Are you looking for a perfect canvas tote to compliment your summer outfit? Or perhaps, you need an idea for a birthday present? Or environmentally friendly designer shopper? I’ve found the answer materialised in these fun and fabulous Missoni totes.
Feeling like a kid in a candy store right now. It’s a good thing the choice is written in the stars.
I admit, it took me a while to get my first pair of Converse, but once me and my new trainers had a walk I was converted. Needless to say, I was excited to hear that Converse teamed up with Missoni for the fifth time to give an iconic zigzag look to Chuck Taylors, one of the Converse legends. The green and cream (officially known as tan) shoes in woven fabric that sparkles thank to silver and gold metallic threads are designed specifically for women. The boys can treat themselves to a navy pair. I am loving the tan version that would look perfect with jeans or wide off-white linen trousers and also fit a pastel trend brief seamlessly. What do you think?

Outfit number 3 to celebrate one of my favourite fashion weeks. I know I am a day late as Milan fashion week officially started yesterday, but I am a creature of habits and Wednesday is a Stylish quote day, so the outfit had to wait.
On the other hand they say best things happen to those who wait, so I really hope that you will like my Milan-inspired look.
It all began with an Etro jacket that had amazing details and I wanted the outfit to reflect some of the most beautiful elements of the garment.
I picked the light blue dress because Italians are very much about femininity and sensuality and a combination of powdery colour, silk, elegant ruched details of the back (you can see it if you follow the link below) and delicate pattern of the skirt were absolutely perfect. Then I thought of the shoe option and my mind went back to this very Dolce&Gabbana pair made of macramé lace – sort of the same pattern as the front panels of the coat.
The rest was easy. A statement ring for a bit of diamond sparkle and beautiful Murano glass necklace, delicate enough not to overpower the dress, but to add the tiny accents with the ice-like beads circled in gold and tangerine strokes of melted glass.
And of course, a bag that’s big enough to carry all the necessities, but beautifully shaped and compact, and a pair of sunglasses for you cannot be in Milan and not wear any.

It’s been a long time since I began looking for a perfect shoulder bag. In my dreams it was a small bag with a gold chain strap that could be worn with more or less everything in my wardrobe because I’d want to take it everywhere like my new pet (of course, technically, Oscar is the love of my life as far as pets are concerned, but in tiny teeny technical details Oscar isn’t a pet, he is… well, Oscar - not a pet, not yet a human, but not just a dog either).
Back to the bag story though… I found her on-line a few days before Christmas and fell in love. Santa heard my oh-so-overdue wish and, surpise-surprise, I found this little sweetheart under my Christmas tree. Loving this M Missoni bag so much (and am very lucky to have such a wonderful Santa’s representative as a husband!)
