#WELCOME TO PITTI FRAGRANCE 12

“A SPECIAL THANK TO ALESSANDRO SICURO FOR SURE-COM”

The perfumery author never stops, much less the characters and the brand that animate it. It seems like yesterday the end of the week perfume Milan 2014 and many serial sniffers have not finished yet to try the new products introduced in March, which arrive the first highlights of Pitti 12 fragrances that will take place as usual at the Stazione Leopolda in Florence, from Friday 12 on Sunday, September 14.

The word to perfume. This edition will feature a fascinating subject, Perfumes & Parole, which will become the main theme of the festival fiorentina with meetings, appointments of olfactory culture, installations and panel discussions devoted to dialogue between words and fragrances, with particular attention to those poets and writers which over the centuries have loved to write and describe the world of odors through their art.

 

Among the special projects Fragrances 2014 mention Verba Olent – Journey in the literature of perfume, a journey exciting by Giovanna Zucconi, journalist and presenter of radio and television and soul of Serra & Fonseca, a brand that explores the connections between perfume and literature, art and design. The project-installation Verba Olent is a journey through the many shades of the perfume literature, or literature scented. It is no secret that fragrances and odors through the centuries in Western literature: a secret track high emotional intensity, a fil rouge bouquet to express eros, nostalgia, social judgment, mysticism. From the Bible to Baudelaire, from Shakespeare to Pascoli, the most neglected and mysterious character sketches of the senses, conveys emotions, evoking memories, says the past is used to tell the impalpable, invisible, indescribable and often even unfathomably .

Beyond words, at Pitti Fragrances 12 there will be the most loved brand of perfume copyright with their classics and novelties that we anticipate will be many.

The best of the first day at Pitti:

The Pitti Fragrances is always a mix of emotions and events, meetings with international noses and homegrown discoveries. Here’s the best of the first day, according to the editors of Icon.

1 Shades of Indigo Olfactive Studio. It is inspired by a photograph, like all of the line – in this case an image of Gustavo Pellizzon in which a young woman (or man?) Emerges from the water. The jus is a blue sea, and contains woods, resins, tuberose and petit grain. Distributed in Italy by essenses.

2 Patchouliful Laboratory Olfactory. This is a real patchouli, inspired by a traditional king but who has lived in the seventies, then brings Hawaiian shirts and marched through the streets. The earthy patchouli is less than usual, which appears and disappears in surprise. Distributed in Italy by Kaon.

3 The Modern Figaro Chez Dedi and Men’s Heritage. The portable kit for the perfect hipster: a toothbrush and a comb mustache, a mustache wax always to Capt Fawcett’s encased in an elegant clutch bag in soft leather.

Vintage set of 4 Taylor of Old Bond Street. Toothbrushes of all shapes and sizes to clean the nails, and the elegance of English gentleman from Taylor of Old Bond Street always win. Distributed in Italy by Calè.

5 Cleanser by Zenology. A unisex body line, from shampoo to shower gel, in respect of the skin and also the aesthetics of the bathroom. Distributed in Italy by Campomarzio70.

MY CROCHET JEWELRY COLLECTION

MY CROCHET JEWELRY COLLECTION

When I did a sneak peek of my crochet jewelry not too long ago I never knew it would get so much interest! I have gotten a lot of questions about it in the past little bit so here is is finally in a bit more detail! Enjoy!!

I have been drawn to crochet jewelry for the past few years. It never started out with me trying to build a “collection” but I  really love the style and look of woven metal and ended up with a nice range of colors and pieces. I especially wanted a thicker bracelet style, unfortunately every time I tried on similar styles in shops, they slipped off my tiny wrists.

Sooooo what is a girl to do ?? I decided to try and get a few bracelets made with the help of a local jewelry maker. The results were amazing and I was so happy that they were custom and one-of-a-kind pieces but most importantly measured to fit!!! I love layering the different colors of bracelets  and necklaces – I am def a fan of silver and gold together!

THE SINGLE STATEMENT EARRING

THE SINGLE STATEMENT EARRING

LOVE. Love this modern take on the statement earring as seen in CR Fashion Book, such a great way of wearing statement pieces in a casual, less overpowering way! The trend of the solo earring first caught my eye at the Céline fall 14 show where Phoebe Philo had the models walk down the runway wearing a single bold earring each and it’s been on my mind ever since. Will definitely give this look a go for fall (probably paired with a tiny stud in the other ear though, to avoid the inevitable “I think you lost an earring!” comments).

#CHILDREN WINTER SELECTION

#CHILDREN WINTER SELECTION

“If you cry, you cry like a baby.

Once you have been a child, and one of the first things you have learned in life was to cry, because crying is part of life.
Do not forget to be free, and to show your emotions is not shameful.
Screams, sighs loudly, make as much noise as you want. Because this is how children are crying, and they know the fastest way to comfort their hearts.
Have you ever noticed how children stop crying?
They stop because something distracts them. Something calls them to the next adventure.
The children stop crying quickly.
And so will you. But only if you can cry like a child. ”
PAULO COELHO – “Maktub”

MUST HAVE SHOES

MUST HAVE SHOES

I have a serious shoe problem. This year, I think I might have quadrupled the number of shoes I have. I have a rack in my second closet with my dressy shoes, a pile of my everyday shoes by the door, a huge bin under the bed with all my flats, and a massive bag under my kitchen table (not sure why…).
Part of the problem is that I have different shoe wardrobes for every season. I have shoes that are special occasion, but there are a select few that I wear the most. The shoes that every closet needs… the shoes that you can wear with just about everything.
I’m also committing to going through my shoes and donating the ones that I haven’t worn in a while. I’ve noticed that I have hung onto shoes that I only wore once or twice and just don’t have a need for them anymore. No point in feeling weighted down with extra shoes. (Now, if only I could muster the same personal strength for the piles of sweaters I’ve amassed…)
Here are my picks for my tried and true shoes for late summer/early fall:
