 Moschino and Louis Vuitton take us back in 60s. Common theme of the collections is the chic and timeless black& white match.  Vuitton celebrates the classic damier pattern of the maison, Moschino enhances details like pockets and buttons with black edges on white.
Wear black&white from head to toe and don't forget ton sur ton accessories.

Make with me a black&white belt. It's made of two parts: a leather band and a satin scarf. Enjoy wearing it this summer and also the next one. The belt will still be trendy. How? Just change the scarf and you have a whole new belt!

Curious to see how it's made?

This summer take your pajama out for a walk or get inspired by sophisticated loungewear. Delicate silks and wide pants are the key pieces of this chilli cool look that couldn't be more comfortable. Fabric whishes and floats as you walk. Hems are long and pants almost cover shoes, the waist is high, the target are extra long legs.

DIY metal collar tips using jar lids

The quickest way to add a western touch to your look is putting a pair of metal tips on your shirt. They can be bought online or in your local haberdashery store. If the stores near you don't have them and you can wait to sport the look you can make metal tips for your shirt out of jar lids like I did today. The good thing about this projects is that jar lids come in a variety of colors and patterns so you can make your custom metal tips and you're not forced to wear only gold and silver ones you can find in shops. Also you don't have to buy a new jar lid either. Eat the jam, wash the lid and you're ready for the transformation.


You'll need:

• a jar lid
• scissors
• pliers
• glue

It's not the average sheer skirt, DIY it!

Sheer skirt DIY tutorial -DIY demanta bag - DIY walnut bracelet

You can renew any skirt from your wardrobe. I sewed mine from scratch and I added a curved edge at the waist.

Featured in almost every spring collection, sheer clothes are a season must have. You can choose how much skin to show according to the occasion and your personal style. Get into the season mood and DIY your unique sheer skirt with a pair of scissors and some sheer fabric. Why shouldn't it be called an average sheer skirt? Because with this technique, that I also used in this man shirt makeover , you can cut the skirt wherever you want and there's no need of any pattern, you're free to make the skirt that you want! I'll show you how. I was inspired by Stella McCartney for the curved hems and the color combination. The skirt I used is a knee-length one made it more interesting by the sheer panel that goes behind the skirt.  Ready to renew a skirt from your wardrobe?
