A DAY WITH SARA IN THE CITY OF ANGELS

A day of light, beauty, and inspiration

Sara wakes up with the light sliding through the curtains. Her place feels warm and lived-in — books on the table, a print leaning against the wall, a plant just ready for water. Nothing too perfect, just right.

Breakfast is slow, almost a ritual. Fresh fruit, strong coffee, maybe something from the farmers’ market. She takes a moment to breathe and let the sound of the city roll in.

Her mornings are for creating. Blog notes on the table, a few drafts for Instagram, yesterday’s photos waiting to be picked through. The spots she loves — a corner café, a sunny street, a quiet alley — are never just scenery. They set the tone, almost like characters in her story.

By the afternoon, she’s out looking for inspiration. A gallery opening, a design pop-up, a talk where she runs into friends. Some days it’s a quick drive out of the city, a house she’s been wanting to see, or a trail that clears her mind. These moments refill her eye and her energy.

Nights are wide open. Sometimes it’s dinner with friends in a place where the lighting feels just right. Other times it’s staying in, curling up with a book and a record spinning low. In those quiet hours she chooses what to share — not to keep up, but to stay true.

Sara’s posts are always intentional. Light, texture, and color matter as much as what she’s wearing. On the blog she writes about homes, architecture, art, travel. Fashion is there too, but it’s part of a bigger search: meaning, beauty, connection.

She wants her work to make people pause. A feed that inspires, not just decorates. And an audience that sees the care behind every choice.

Of course, it isn’t effortless. There’s the constant push to post, to keep up. Holding on to her style while answering to the market — and to her own life — is a balancing act. Making time for herself, for road trips, for slow mornings, is how she stays whole.

At 35, Los Angeles feels like a canvas already drenched in light, waiting for her to add to it. Through her blog, her photos, her choices, she’s building something that feels entirely hers. She doesn’t chase trends — she bends them until they sound like her own voice. Each post feels like another brushstroke on that growing picture.

THE FOULARD SUMMER ACCESSORY

10 June 201820 June 2018Posted in Beauty, Fashion, My WorldTagged MY IDEAS FOR THE BEACH, MY PASSION, SARA DAL MONTELeave a comment

There is a hair accessory that Pinterest loves in a particular way: the scarf. And you will immediately have eyes in your heart, because for the warm season it seems the complement of which your locks need. It gives you a chic but casual air, you can manage it as you prefer, turning it into a hair band, a bandana or a bow for your ponytail. Or if you love braids, it will be the “lock” to fit between the others.

The scarf is versatile, and, depending on your imagination, you can combine it with any style. There is only one small problem, but with our advice you can easily get around it. The fabric of which it is made, like silk, often tends to slip easily, especially if you have long, thin hair. If this is your problem, apply styling products that thicken and create more friction to keep your accessory in place.

To give you further push, know that since 2018 the designers have re-fallen in love and on the catwalks, from Dolce & Gabbana to Armani, have brought him back into fashion, creating an afro, hippy look inspired by the ’50s mood. And for the stars too, it has been a must-have ever-present beauty. What are you waiting for to experience it too? Here are some ideas to understand how to bring it and adapt it to your spring summer style.

HAUTE COUTURE 2018 BEST THE HIGH FASHION FROM PARIS

9 March 201814 March 2018Posted in Fashion, My WorldTagged FASHION, Fwp, Paris, SARA DAL MONTELeave a comment

Princess dresses, extraordinary volumes and precious embroideries: those seen in Paris are dreamy looks. Which we will see wearing the stars in the next red carpet.

The week of Haute Couture in Paris closes, like any self-respecting Fashion Week, dictates the trends of the next season: those of luxury squared, and that, surely, we will see worn by the stars on the next Oscar night. The Haute Couture Spring Summer 2018 fashion shows have made us dream with princess dresses, extraordinary volumes and waterfalls of rhinestones. But there are several common thread that the choices of the couturier have in common.

Starting from the feathers, an inevitable detail in any collection. Totalizing by Elie Saab who uses them from head to toe, they are spectacular on Valentino’s impalpable hats. Maxi and colored, they make the effect of gaudy clouds that follow the models step by step.

Even the frills conquer the designers and from Giambattista Valli is a real triumph of rouches. Pastel tulle, layered endlessly, cover drafts, bodices and puffed sleeves to catapult us into a real fairy tale.

Maxi volumes by Alexandre Vauthier, Alexis Mabille and Stephane Rolland, whose satin cloaks resemble those of the Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino paintings.

FUR FUR FUR

Street Style - New York Fashion Week February 2017 - Day 3

Furs never miss the appeal of fashion shows, so I’m not an absolute novelty to see on the catwalk for the fall winter 2017 2018. The talk of a true return to fashion seems almost controversy as they rule sovereigns among the trends of cold season after year. Once again Fendi is an absolute champion, capable of decimating fur in a thousand variants. But beside him there is also Gareth Pugh who plays Gothic, for Gucci is total white. Whether ecological or natural fur (see mink fur), the imperative is to represent it with the innate class of those who want to bring forth primitive female instinctuality. A gentle, soft instinct, warm as a hug.

MAXI DRESSES

16 July 201717 July 2017Posted in Fashion, My WorldTagged dress, FASHION, fashion bloggersLeave a comment

If mini dresses aren’t your thing, get your hands on maxi dresses and take your style to new lengths. An all year round style staple for any girls wardrobe, it’s the perfect choice for chic everyday style and going out glamour. Go for an open-back, body-hugging style for your next night out look, or work it in a maxi dress, cut-out and metallic details perfect for those party season vibes. Let your legs do the talking with a sexy front split, or go for the cover-up and let your attitude to the talking. Add some heels and jewels to your basic block colours, or dress it down with some ankle boots and a killer coat for those casual feels. Whatever the weather, go maxi.

MIAMI

2 July 2016Posted in Country&Travel, My WorldLeave a comment

Shining sun, Art Deco houses and skies in ice cream pastel colours , palm tress and the beach, I am just returning from a 9 day journey to Miami and to a well needed winter break. I was there for work, but shooting under the sun didn’t feel as much like it. I hadn’t been before, it’s always a pleasure to discover a place for the first time, especially when having seen so much already. Miami was super exciting and fun and it feels like there is a lot more I could discover on my next visit.

Here you go with some impressions from South beach and the Standard Miami Spa hotel where I stayed for two nights after the job. I didn’t take fully advantage of the Spa offerings, I’m more of a pool girl, but the deco alone was so worth hanging out there.

FASHION TREND REPORT: PALM PRINTS

26 June 201626 June 2016Posted in Fashion, My WorldLeave a comment

Designers took a cue from nature this season by incorporating breezy palm-tree prints into their collections.

If you’re feeling a little pained watching the summer fly by from your office window, might we suggest a little sartorial salve by way of cheerful palm-tree prints from the Spring 2014 runway shows? More Designers sent models walking down the runway decked out in this tropical motif.

We love palm-tree prints because they transport us to the summer sands and warm breezes of vacations past. Plus, they make dressing fun and playful. Palm-tree prints are also the perfect alternative for women who find traditional florals to be too feminine.
These tropical prints have also hit our favorite stores. Check out a few of the pieces on our wish lists below and scoop up one or two for yourself.

BLACK SHOES

6 June 2016Posted in Fashion, My WorldLeave a comment

I’m not done covering Sydney fashion at least for this week (no worries, Milan Men’s and Couture Paris coming up soon).

With all the monochromatic looks one detail I noticed this time again, the shoes ! I haven’t seen that many black heels at once, especially the most simple version, an elegant heeled sandal with a simple strap that Gianvito Rossi and Givenchy seem to do best.

I love this type of simple heel, it will go with everything. The problem at least for me, my feet don’t look great in them, I’m yet to find the right strap placement for my toes, does this make sense ?

Here we go with many many shoes from Sydney’s fashion week, all in black, heels and flats.
