I've always thought of their collections as 'too sweet', but I'm actually starting to change my mind. Maybe because it's in the Spring that I start to wear as a girl? My friends say I wear like an Oxford undergraduate in the Winter, and I totally agree with them LOL<br />

<br />
I have fell in love with their straw bags! I want the one with white details so much, but it's so expensive! It costs about €230 and honestly, that's way too much. Do you get what I mean when I say they're 'too posh'?<br />

Finally it's that time of the year again - I love when cherry trees are in full bloom and I can enjoy being in the sun without actually burning my face! Spring is definitely my favourite season, partly because I feel like wearing pastels again and partly because my birthday's in it - I turned eighteen on Saturday 24th and the flowers in the photo above were gifted to me. Aren't they just gorgeous? How can anyone not love flowers?<br />

I find the haute couture supplement you get twice a year with Vogue Italia more beautiful than the issue itself. I love how they focus on Italian designers and always dedicate the very first pages to Valentino.<br />

<i>"The conception of this five t-shirt capsule collection was produced from the collaboration between Magazzini del Sale and Bella Harris, an American writer and author of the blog Vintage Lollipops. Integrating the elements of personal style and artistic vision, Bella's designs include illustrations exclusively selected for Magazzini del Sale. Bella is an author of Children's/YA Literature, freelance writer, artist/fashion illustrator, style blogger, and true lover of fashion, who is changing the world one pair of shoes at a time."</i><br />

As soon as I saw Bella's blog, I knew she wasn't an ordinary fashion blogger. She paints, she draws, she takes photos, she designs t-shirts for the Italian label Magazzini del Sale. Her capsule collection has been featured on tons of cool websites (and now it's on mine too, ha!). The simple white cotton t-shirts look perfect on basically everything: on a pair of jeans or a bodycon skirt, under a jacket, even under a tuxedo. Moreover, the fact that they're made in Italy means one thing: good quality. It's 100% cotton, nothing like H&M t-shirts! One thing I love about mine is that it doesn't cling to my body too much, so it's nice and comfy :) I bet I'll be wearing this awesome tee a lot this summer! <br />

A trend I spotted on Fall catwalks was embroidering - cross stitching, actually. Maybe it's because I'm such a granny I noticed it as soon as I saw the shows photos! While Valentino interpretes it in the usual romantic way, Dolce & Gabbana look back at Sicilian Baroque. And even Balmain incorporates romantic embroideries in shiny armours. <br />

Today's Jil Sander Fall 2013 show was the last Raf Simons' one and you can't even imagine how sad I am. Although I wear quite different things and I seldom post about it here, Jil Sander has been my favourite designer almost since I approached fashion several years ago. I like the work of Sander herself, but what Raf Simons did in the past few years was just amazing in my opinion. I was genuinely sad when I heard about his resignation.<br />
<br />

<br />
Simons did such a great job at renovating the Fifties woman that I almost think that if the rumor he's about to replace Galliano at Dior is true, he's the right designer to do it. The shapes of some of the clothes are very Dior-ish.<br />

My week in Dublin was probably the worst of my life, for reasons I don't even want to talk about. The only good thing there was shopping, really (but I think I'm going to talk about that in another post). I never thought I could miss my home so much and I was so happy to come back. I was even happier when I found lots of parcels waiting for me - I'm convinced that getting mail is like the grown-up version of Santa, because you get exactly the same feeling! <br />
Beside two packets from Romwe (tights and jewelry I won in a giveaway.. lucky me) and some rhinestones (?!) I also got something from lovely Laura at <a href="http://my987wardrobe.com/">My987wardrobe.com</a>.. look at the photos and guess what it is :)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s414.photobucket.com/albums/pp222/Francivusk/?action=view&current=edit9.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp222/Francivusk/edit9.jpg" width="700" /></a><br />

<br />
Launched in 2010, My987wardrobe.com is an online shopping website for women where each and every item costs just £9.87 or £19.87. That's right: everything on the website (and that means jeans, dresses, jackets, bags, jewelry, hair accessories) costs less than £10 or £20! Such a cool idea. Also, the website is run buy a former Topshop buyer - this means you can't possibly find any rubbish there.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s414.photobucket.com/albums/pp222/Francivusk/?action=view&current=y.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp222/Francivusk/y.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
I was sent the <a href="http://www.my987wardrobe.com/Butterfly-Back-Dress.html">Butterfly Back dress</a> and the <a href="http://www.my987wardrobe.com/Vintage-Style-Lace-Dress.html">Vintage Style Lace</a> dress to try. The first one has a beautiful cut-out back I fell in love with. When I chose this dress I wasn't too sure about it, but I turned out to like it very much! It's a bit too tight on my hips but nevermind, there's thousands of ways you can wear this dress.. as a t-shirt for example. It looks like a plain black dress from the front, but the detailing on the back makes it quite elegant and perfect for going out at night. Also, it's 100% cotton, so it's soft and comfy! <br />
As you can see from the photos, the second one is really my style. Although I'm not a huge fan of full-lace dresses, I like this one - maybe because it reminds me of a vintage nightgown! The embroidered detail on the front is what makes this dress an actual one and not just lingerie in my opinion ;) I'll definitely be using this dress lot in the summer! <br />
<br />
I really can't tell which one I like the most, because they're both gorgeous in different ways. I love how they both are so versatile: you can wear them at night and day just styling them differently. Overall, <a href="http://my987wardrobe.com/">My987wardrobe.com</a> made a very good impression on me. Although it's been called "the Primark of the internet", you can get quite good stuff there! I think the concept of selling everything at such a low price is interesting - the prices at H&M or Zara can be much higher sometimes. I'm curious to see how this website will develop!<br />

Hello everyone! I'm leaving for Dublin tomorrow morning. I'm going to stay there for one week with my schoolmates to improve our English! I'm really excited and I still have lots of things to do, but I found the time to write something here nonetheless. Since I haven't had much time to research, I wanted to ask you some advice on where to shop for clothes and make-up, where to eat, what to see.. just cool things to do there! Any help would be much appreciated! :)<br />
<br />
So I'll be back home on the 18th, hopefully with lots of photos, purchases and most of all memories to share with you. Lots of love! xFrancesca | A Golden Hourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05254675251436792978noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277593465828974542.post-61085432106542572922012-02-07T11:27:00.000+01:002012-02-07T11:27:22.531+01:00Marni x H&M BackstageAlthough I'm not much of a fan of Marni's bold prints or collaborations with high street stores, I liked the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7x4pCMRVQw">Marni x H&M campaign backstage video</a>.
