ROCK CHIC OUTFIT: HOW TO MAKE IT

This rock chic outfit is the one I wore last Friday for a day spent in Milan in a day full of meetings. In these days we are organizing so many projects that should be done before Christmas, and the time is really short. I was looking for a comfy outfit, to be able to move easily all around the city, but even really cool, because I had to meet many peoples that obviously work in the Fashion world. I opted for something that I was sure of: a rock chic outfit, Oxford shoes and colored coat. I really love rock outfits and all leather, studded, chained accessories. However, I do not like to exceed and I prefer to balance rock pieces with a ultra chic style, for obtain a rock chic outfit, alternative, but not too much. In this case I wear a leather skirt, I match it with an outerwear: a jeans shirt (soon I will make a post just to show you many ways how to wear this piece). Oxford shoes with applications, strongly mens inspired, were what I was searching for the perfect look. The outfit has been made less formal using a colored coat, so feminine and chic, a leather gloves, but pink and my beloved Balenciaga, that shows us how an accessory can be rock but even fashion at the same time. My advice to do not look like a The Kiss member when we decide to wear leather and studs it’s to mix them with romantic or light colored pieces. Gloves are something that too often is not used, but I really think they have to power to change a whole outfit. In this case pink gloves have been basic for giving the chic touch to this outfit. The day has been hard, but full of satisfactions, we went back home tired but happy. Surely this rock chic outfit, that helped me feeling good, has been a great support to be ready meeting after meeting always with a great enthusiasm.

HALLOWEEN COSTUME FOR A SCARY NIGHT

Saturday and Sunday have been such a long days for me. I started a new project for the blog and I did few things after weeks that I was postponing them. This situation made me realize that I have some kind of bipolarity. Not really, obviously, but I think that if you meet me once when I am tired and once when I am not you’ll have two different Melissa in front of you. Being tired kill all my enthusiasm and vitality. I can’t make up/wear something nice/go out/talk/hairdo/eat in a normal way. Just a scary entity in large joggers is there, with crazy hairstyle, cave-dweller nails, face like a ghost that drag himself around the house looking for food and bed or sofa in which rest. When I come home late at night my home is vastly transformed in a camp, clothes stacked on the chair in my room, that if she could talk..(I won’t hear her by the way because it’s always buried) and accessories everywhere, that I go into the bathroom swearing against my idea of putting make up on in the morning, I remove it (in a bad way, I know that it’s terrible for my skin), I take out my dog (I love him, but I hate that he always has to pee, and that I realize my dream: eat any kind of junk food lying on my sofa, loving that moment. When I am tired diet/care of my skin (at least removing make up properly!)/of my nails and being in order don’t exist. I simply don’t care, I just wanna enjoy my rest. But, obviously, when I am tired all sorts of thing happen. Save calls me for an important work, my mum need that I take her dog to the vet, in the block there is a blackout for some kind of maintenance work (it happened!), the cat is sick and puke on that famous pile of clothes on the chair. And you watch it, shocked, thinking that tomorrow, when you’ll be fresh and it won’t looks like a tragedy.

PS: In the pics I show you the look for the Halloween party organized by a dear friend. I wore a dress, looks and location to be scary! You have to shudder now, witches are back!

FAUX FUR GILET AND LONG SKIRT

I really love faux fur gilet. I love generally faux fur. This is a cause really near to my heart. If I have to say what I really think, I will never be able to wear a real fur gilet. I saw many images of that poor animals grown in small cages in horrible conditions, that wait just for a slow and painful death. Terrible processes are used, to not ruin the fur that have to be sold. I am absolutely adverse to it, but I even can see how beautiful they are, that’s why since always I buy faux fur coats, that are really the same. Once they were absolutely awful, faux furs looked like death rats furs, they were impossible to wear. Nowadays faux furs are just alike to the real ones, and you save life and pain to many innocent animals. Anyway I wear one of my faux fur gilet for a working afternoon in Milan. It’s starting to be really cold and I am wearing it over a classic white shirt. I match it with a long skirt, Valentino rockstud flats and my “candy” Balenciaga bag. I love the result, because soft colors give a great contrast to a total black look. They create a nice rock look. You know how I love long skirts. I think this one it’s special thanks to the plissé. Long skirt are so feminine, perfect for everyone, and perfect when we feel not that perfect with our shape. They are able to hide legs defects. Beautiful and handy. Long skirt are officially my passion.
