Weekend Comfort: On Pinks and Browns

I like pink, especially that tone of pink that is subtle and goes great with darker tones as taupe, browns and greens. Most of these pink pieces listed here are on sale, others like the home accessories are vintage. Who doesn’t love a good sale…

The charming Italian Modern brass and enamel sconce is pretty chic and it’s vintage which makes it more valuable. Who doesn’t always need more bow blouses, this costume silk shirt in a light pink would go great with brown pants. Love this dress my Lisa Marie Fernandez. A chic velvety shoulder bag. Isn’t this pair of woven willow glass wine bottles super chic to use as decorative objects. Pink boots for when there is no snow outside. Pink pants. Pretty pillow because it’s good to change things up a bit once in a while and there is no easier way to do it than with pillow. Modern classic chairs, set of 4. And last but not least this modern-style pink sofa is not only pretty but it’s on sale also.

I know that at this moment Montecito, CA is confronting a catastrophic situation. My heart goes out to the people who have been affected by this horrible and devastating mudslide. Meanwhile many Central states here in the US are expecting anything from 4″ to 20″ inches of snow, depending on where you live. But for others this season is resort season exactly because who wouldn’t want to escape all this. Since me myself may or may not be planning our own winter escape I allowed myself to window shop, only just virtually for the resort pieces every chic woman needs. My conclusion, below.

The Best Top Handle Bags For Day Wear

I came to the conclusion that I must have been a visiting doctor in one of my previous lives due to my preference for bags that come with the option of a top handle, even the backpack I take to the gym I hold it from its top handle. Whenever I’m planning on buying a bag, there are a few things I look for including, the main long handle, organizing compartment, zipper sealed pockets, and small open pockets to keep things as credit cards or random business cards from acquaintances… My wallet ends up weighing too much, so I seldom use it. This roundup of top handle bags include some of the already popular ones and others newcomers to the party, some with full price tickets, while others pre-owned.

Modern Muse: Giorgia Tordini and a round up of her coat choices

I love Giorgia Tordini’s style, well tha’s me together with 127+ instagramers who stalk her impeccably polished looks. Originally from Italy, she was born in Milan, her fashion style is timeless with clean silhouettes, a bit masculine without unnecessary fanfare. Her style is sleek, classic and discrete resulting in effortless classic looks. Her beauty routine also shows signs of effortless beauty; little make up which she doesn’t need with such beautiful skin, perfect hair style and nails painted in red. Giorgia is the designer and co-founder, together with her sister, of the fashion label, The Attico. She is always perfectly dressed to the T, choosing outfits that can be easily transitioned into evening ones. Tordini has a knack for chic jewelry, especially vintage which she collects.

‘I don’t have specific style rules, but I like to buy timeless pieces that I’ll never tire of. My staples are blazers and skinny jeans, so most of the time I stick to this combination. My style is pretty classic, but never predictable – I like to accessorise with special jewellery or a pair of statement shoes.’ as she told Matches Fashion.
