TRENDS| Coloured leather

Leather..leather..leather.. a simple black biker is every woman choice matched with blue jeans and a white tee when we don't know what to wear..but from the "simple biker" I got much forward.. My wardrobe is FULL of leather..from trousers to jackets,to skirts, gloves and so on..

Coloured leather is my latest addiction.. expecially if pink and silver.. I could go out in my underwear rocking a pink leather jacket and feeling the coolest walking down the street ahah..

Coloured leather has been for a while on the top shelf of high fashion industry as well..

From the infamous collection of Moschino S/S 2015

to the one of J.Lindeberg A/W 2015-2016

to end with Saint Laurent Paris A/W 2015-2016

But since not even a button from these pieces is affordable..here's a compilation of some things you can find online and in High Street shops right now:

Denim skirts

Which woman doesn't own a denim mini skirt? Or if not now who hasn't owned a denim skirt as child in the 80s-90s? An evergreen since the glorious Twiggy and the era of the "swinging London".. but as simple as they can be you can love a model and hate an other one..but you can never hate them all..there will always be that denim skirt you would wear! The latest trend is denim mini skirts buttoned up on the front by buttons on the whole lenght.. which is yes a piece you can find in every High street shop right now but it's also just the recall of an eternal piece (this was a thing also around 70s-early 80s) So..which denim skirt are you?

Nails

Speaking about nails..who has never had them done?!
The longest, the most colourful, the most elaborate they are the best it is. It's been a few years now that nails are on the top shelf of what a woman needs to have checked on the list to be "always on point".
I have to admit it, I felt so deeply in the trend myself.. for almost a couple years I had my nails done and every time it was a challange to have them always a bit more..
Looking back now maybe more than once I went "over the line" with them.. so girls yes to trends but TRASH IS NOT THE NEW POSH.

These are just a few examples of some of the nails I had in the last year and a half (I didn't find more pics but my instagram is full of them)

And these are some nails which I think are really are a bit over the edge of quirky and just past the kitsch one. (in the first picture there's bloody water in those nails!)

What's your opinion on them?

PLASTIC IS FANTASTIC

I know that the first things we get in mind thinking about plastic don't comprehend clothing at all.. but in my opinion we completely underestimate the big (and increasing) role of plastic in the fashion industry.. Examples like Melissa shoes or the sculpture-pieces of United Nude not only in plastic based materials but even made with 3D printers are just some testimonials of it..I think we all have some things we wear which are in plastic and we don't even know..and yes it is more common in shoes and bags cause for clothing it might be considered too unconfortable..but I love it! These is a selection of things I like or pieces from collections that i just appreciated..plastic or not :)
