A little bit of attention, always respect, a couple of smiles every second, plenty of love and a life full of diamonds:

Length counts

Ab'yz — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 20:59:13 +0000

And of course I’m referring here to the skirt length
Fall/winter 2011/2012 is brings into our wardrobe the midi skirt all over again. The texture, the cut or the prints don’t really count, as everything is allowed as long as the skirt is covering your knee.
How can you be fashion forward all day long? The answer to this question is simple – midi skirts. They go along to any occasion and they are easy to be accessories with bags, belts and, the most important thing – the heels. Don’t forget to take into account the fact that each body is different and the proportions of the skirt needs to flatter your body natural shape.

Of course that many of you may say that this is a bad joke, but, with the fall/winter 2011/2011 collections, all designers are showing us the contrary and give the GO for a new hot trend – midi skirts:

Alexander-McQueen - fall/winter 2011/2012

Balenciaga - fall/winter 2011/2012

Gucci - fall winter 2011/2012

Miu Miu - fall/winter 2011/2012Pedro Lourenço - fall/winter 2011/2012

Jonathan Saunders - fall/winter 2011/2012

Chloé - fall/winter 2011/2012

The hint of what can be beneath the midi skirt is somehow more exciting than a long slim beautiful leg that a mini skirt reveals.

Ladies, don’t forget that the attitude is the key of any of your outfits and you should proudly wear on the urban catwalk!

Fall is falling …

… And the cold mornings are coming along with this fall. What else can keep us safe and cozy than a beautiful warm coat?

For fall/ winter 2011/ 2012 designers propose a large range of cashmere coats, leather trenches and jackets made out of fur and feathers. Eye-popping tones can come in daring combinations and a vast range of fabrics. Must have during fall/ winter 2011/ 2012? African prints and warm fall/winter coats.

Surfing the net looking for this fall/ winter trends, I chose some samples that will speak for themselves and will give you an idea about the look of your very own cold season wardrobe:

Fall fragrances

So far, I haven’t wrote about fragrances.And i should have done it, as they are also part of our (hopefully) daily outfit.

During my last shopping sessions I found out which fragrances will keep my senses awake during this fall.

I have several options, depending on the mood or on the activity that I’m doing during the day or night:

1. For those moments of the day when I want to free myself from all the troubles, I love to let myself enchanted by the Flowerparty from Yves Rocher. A fruity floral fragrance for women which reminds me Spring and Summer with notes of orange, mandarin, litchi, raspberry, rose and vanilla.

2. For a perfect day in the office, I have one answer: Burberry Weekend (isn’t this ironic?). A light and invigorating fragrance with citrus top notes of fresh lemon, grapefruit and sweet tangerine, oak moss, ivy leaves and sandalwood as soft heart notes and a radiant warmth of honey, amber and musk composes the base notes in this elegant, luminous scent. Is The perfect reminder that the weekend is near by

3. For a perfect evening out in under the moonlight and the fresh cold air of this fall, I just loose myself into this refine elegant fragrance – Ô de Lancôme. With the very first drop that touches your skin, Ô de Lancôme makes your heat vibrating under the notes of lemon, mandarin, bergamot and jasmine honeysuckle. The heart notes are coming from the green aromatic notes of basil, rosemary and coriander. Base notes of oak moss, sandalwood and vetiver enhance and complete this sensorial harmony and keeps your heart beating until late in night (or I should better say morning ).

It’s crazy and I know it…but what’s the point of having lot’s of shoes if we don’t have matching handbags? I know that nowadays is no longer fashionable but even so, we need the perfect handbag for our perfect shoes…and as I have more than one pair of perfect shoes, I will always needs more than 1 bag …it’s simple math

My problem now is which bag(s) go(es) with my perfect shoes? and to make more difficult my choice, I start looking at the 2011 spring/summer collections, and let me tell you that I was amazed with the shapes and colors.

Between my favorite spring/summer 2011 handbag collections are:
