rain dance

Braccialino umbrella, Alberta Ferretti coat, Club Monaco gloves, 

Stefanel tights, Moschino rain boots

We've had a bit of this type of weather lately... not ideal for photographing as Milan seems cast in a dreary grey filter. This was taken on our way back from brunch at a tex-mex restaurant near our place.

20's flapper knits

Love Moschino dress, brushed silver calla-lily necklace handmade by an artist
in Milan, Moschino hat, Alberta Ferretti coat, Pure cashmere scarf,
Blumarine gloves, Calzedonia over-knee socks, Geox boots, Serapian bag

Interpreting the 20's flapper trend with daytime knits offers a more subtle result; one that is decidedly less "costume-y" than a beautiful drop-waist beaded/fringe evening dress usually associated with the era.

3 M's to live by

Malo cashmere sweater coat, Moschino bow belt, 

Marni bag and tights, Cole Haan pumps

Like the old days of Sesame Street would dictate, this outfit is brought to you by the letter 'M' (and the colour aqua!). That and the three starring brands that begin with the letter also happen to be Italian... but of course. The moment I saw these tights it was colour-love even though they are admittedly wild, and the fact that they pick up the same colour in the knit coat is just plain lucky.

On a side note, I'm selling a smaller size (Italian 40) in the Malo coat on ebay if anyone is looking to wrap up in a cashmere dream.

pink bow

Unknown vintage wool coat, Moschino bow belt, Ophelie hats bow headband, Acne jeans, Giuseppe Zanotti booties

Breaking some major rules regarding hair colour and outfit colour, and matching hard a-la-80's style, but it feels fun and somehow right sometimes. I always wear minimal makeup and in this case it's necessary in order to avoid looking too 'done'. I love the pleated waist of this coat, a detail that adds softness and creates some balance to the brightness.

my love to malo

Malo knit coat, Acne jeans, Giuseppe Zanotti booties, Moschino bow belt

Enjoying the December air wrapped up in this deliciously soft Malo cashmere knit-coat. I thought it would be tricky to wear with all the colours in it so I'm starting it out safe against all black to let it have center stage.

black trimmings

Pollini leather jacket, unknown wool and leather vintage dress, Comme des Garcons for H&M knit, Moschino bag, Giuseppe Zanotti booties

Taking things into edgier territory with a black on black on black with leather trim outfit. The dress is an awesome little vintage find of unknown brand and is a great example of a way to wear midi-length, while keeping things flattering on the legs with a side slit. Lovely wool fabric trimmed with leather boarders on the top and slit and waist with a mesh high neck.

knit suit

TSE cashmere skirt suit, Comme des Garcons for H&M shirt, Moschino bow belt,
Ophelie hats bow headband

There's something delightfully unconventional about a skirt suit done in a cashmere knit. I like the irony of what is traditionally a classic and physically constraining garment done in a material that renders it warm and fluid: an outfit to happily spend the entire day in.

plum knits

Missoni sweater, Sportmax silk peplum, Pollini leather trousers, Comme des Garcons for H&M shirt, Carol Tannenbaum Vintage Collection necklace, Moschino handbag, Geox boots

I wanted to focus on this lovely loose-knit vintage Missoni sweater. I love the many shades of purple it has woven in - cozy and dimensional.
