Quite easy indeed

It's very easy, if you want, to finish right on a lovely and shiny magazine page.

The special concoction to this kind of success is just simple as it sounds like: a trendy top mixed with a vintage something, lovely trousers/skirt and a designer pair of shoes.

There is no creativity involved or, for the sake of it, even any sense of style. What you simply have to do is follow the guidelines of actual trends and put a vintage something on it to pretend you're creative.

Vintage.

I've never indulged too much in vintage, to be honest, it's sometimes too challenging for my laziness. And, if I might say that, sometimes it's as much expensive as buying a new one. I wonder why, since things like shoes or bags with golden details don't age very well to be honest. Maybe it's something connected to the fact they no more in production? Like Lanvin is still selling previous seasons bags? Ahah

The secret is all in the name though, vintage. It sounds sophisticated, it sounds smart, it sounds eclectic.

It doesn't matter if maybe a charity shop visit in Chelsea would win you more. It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter that everyone has a vintage Chanel, these days. It doesn't matter.

What matter, my friends, it's you.

Do you want to be stunning? Do you want to be daunting?

Be what you want and follow your style.

Nobody really interesting follow the trends for following the trends is just like eating in the right restaurant at the right time ignoring the fact they forgot to use salt.

And, remember, everything is in the details.

Almost.

Silence please

Suuush my children, shush... we are hiding here, we are hiding.
We are running away from the consumer drone mind, we are forgetting that everything is womenwear, that we are negletted the beauty of too many places for we are only men.
We are forgetting that we should have a lot of funerals to remember (one, for all, MiuMiu Menswear) and that we are left with too many gorgeous things to steal from the trendy section of ladieswear H&M.
Let's forgot for a moment that we are not what we are. Let's pretend we are ruling the world on a wonderful YSL outfit.
Let's bow, with grace, to the incoming and bright future with a cigarette in our hands and pearls in the other.
And let the music run wild.
For there is nothing, my friend, like having some dreams to fulfil.
Even if might take us a whole life.

Music: L'Arlesienne n°2, George Bizet.

I imagine

For a long time I was silent. I thought there was nothing to say, I thought I had to experiment the wonder and avoid sharing it at any cost for it might loose the magic. It was a time of delight and desire, a time of lust and surprises.
Then something happened, something changed and I realized I couldn't keep my mouth shut any more. I couldn't go on with my life and stop flavouring the sweet facets of it, without showing my passion and my lust for it.
I simply had to take a rest then and think again what to do and how to put myself in the miserable position of sharing my tastes.


And here I am.
For here, ladies and gentlemen, you'll find something you won't find anywhere else. You'll find inspirations and ideas, almost always masked as nice outfits and fashion musts, you'll find dreams and pleasure, quite often disguised as books or café or restaurants. You'll listen to weird music too.
You won't find boring things, you won't find anything you can't afford with a little bit of fantasy and will.


Here I'll present my soul of debauchery, irony and sins.
For nothing is more palatable that having something to do in the right place, with the right people and the right shoes on.


Will it be all? Oh no, no trust me. There's thousands of author out there willing to give you something similar without the price you'll pay here. So go away, feel free to forget me and go on with your life and continue to follow the mainstream of consciousness. But another bag, another pair of shoes, be happy.


What will you find here is a bright mind, a good laugh and a passion to rival yours.
Stay with me and you'll share my world of wonders.
Stay with me and you'll know the answer of all the questions you've never asked.


We will speak of fashion, we will speak of culture, we will speak of silly shiny things, we will speak of non-sense too.


So wear your best bow-tie, put on your favourite glasses.
The journey starts today and you're all invited.
I'll offer you my thoughts.
Enjoy.
