Coming back from a Saturday afternoon around galleries and exhibitions just to change my routine of going around shops and to my luck if you went to the exhibits after 8 pm it was free!
Last night after work we passed by the Jil Sander sample sale with Miss. Van 
I didn't want to buy anything because I am saving up for other stuff, but when you see structural magnificent heels for only 60 euro, you can't say no! Vanna did a little bit more shopping, bought some spectacular pieces, brown blazer with a fringy back, a silk asymmetrical blouse and heels
mine!!
The fact she is absolutely recreating every single aspect of arts and fashion in her every single move I thinck was one of the main reasons Annie Leibovitz picked her for one of her shoots for the December Issue of Vogue, dedicated to the performing arts. She played the witch of Hansel and Gretel along with Lili Cole, in a totally romantic, childlish farytale atmosphere which Grace Coddington is know for. She is my favorite stylist/art director, always making me dream through the images she styles and puts together, and seing her work on the September issue, made me worship her even more.
“For me, art is a lie, and the artists are there to create lies we kill when we make it true," Lady GaGa said to Wall Street Journal. “Francesco and I were like warriors on stage, trying to make a true moment."
“Art is life, life is art," she said “The question is, what came first?”
We wanted to create a story about this rich couple that has suffered with the economic crisis and now they have been forced to live in the streets after loosing their house and everything, well almost everything. Their trendy possessions that were part of their past luxurious life are the only things they kept, proving that some things do remain, those things that have control over us, over our image and ego. A criticism to some people in society, with a colorful touch and so BROKE BUT BEAUTIFUL was born. 
Designer and vintage garments were mixed together, playing around with this soft vs hard touch, in a 'homeless' environment in the streets of Milan. 
The change of seasons is something I love. The colour metamorphosis of nature, how every colour seems brighter maybe because they are fighting against the cold, intense coloured sunsets, more selcetion of veggies, chest nuts and hot chocolate with marshmallows. 
Club bathrooms are scary, quite a horror if you find those antique anti-girl ones, but at the same time they can be very, very colourful. Stickers, writings, song quotes, dedications, and squiggles of those who prefer to spend more time in the bathroom than the party, thanks to them I can take my mind off everything disgusting inside this little room and contemplate their artistc skills. Apparently I am not the only one who appreciates this art. Check out http://www.graffitiproject.com/
Bathroom: Atomic Bar
Whatever I find I use to create myself something new , this time it was the bottle caps turn! 
Halloween at the rabbit hole and Miss.Romeo didn't want to be left out, she decided to go with sexy cabaret bunny. 
We were deadly, with cuts and blood all over, and Cesar was the crazy man that killed the animal to make the coat for his sister! 
how was your Halloween?
Thursday night at the AWSM party Cosimo Damato decorated our heads with his latest creations. I am totally blown away by them and since he has been so passionate about it he has been crafting them like mad, so I had the opportunity to wear one on Thursday and then another one for fiday night. 
I wore his spoon sensation for Friday night party! Hope there are more to come.
phots thanks to : valentina from AWSM , Andrea Caroli and Deniz
I received a lovely belated birthday gift, it is from Nora Design. 
She uses vintage pieces to ensemble jewelery,bags, wallets, accessories in general, we could call it New Vintage! I loved the packaging of the product, with the old Marie Claire cover, nice touch.
Her latest crafts are these freaky jewelry that have made me go mad!! As soon she uploaded pictures on her personal facebook I was stunned!
She is also known as the 'pon pon queen' and was the one to teach me the magnificent pon pon labour, the problem is once you go pon pon you don't want togo back. As you can see this happened to her, she started out with the filling of the pon pon wired chair, and ended up creating thousand of pon pon for head pieces, cd cases, etc.
Then she makes furniture , ceramics and other house decor pieces. My favorite is the magazine / book keeper, a comfortable piece to have at home, with fantastic function that keeps all your disorganized magazine stacks in order without occuping space .
'A shot of coffee', to shoot your self with caffeine every morning, one of her first potteries with a very cleaver concept.
