ISABEL MARANT RESORT 2014

I never really liked Isabel Marant (OK I've said it... now you can shoot me)... BUT!...

When I saw this collection I thought that this time she really outdid herself... Although it's a minimal collection it's so chic, relaxed and elegant.

And generally speaking, most resort collections lately are far better that the RTW ones...

 

FEDORA HAT

I was always admiring women wearing hats, but I never dared to wear one myself... I felt a bit embarrassed and awkward at the same time...

I'd really love to have a black wool fedora hat in my wardrobe (a Maison Michel one please!) not only for those "bad hair" days but also for those days when you are really bored and you just want to wear your favorite pair of jeans with a cosy sweater. A hat would give this extra something to the outfit... Don't you agree?

SWEATSHIRT

It is indisputably the most comfortable and versatile piece of the season. I don't have anything more to add about sweatshirts...

I just love them! Don't you?

PLEATED SKIRT

 

How many times has each one of us sneaked into her mother's wardrobe to find those "little treasures" from the past?

 

Well, this time I found a navy pleated skirt, which although my mother had sewn by herself long ago, it is actually in excellent condition...

 

The truth is that lately I have been searching for a skirt like that, so you can imagine how quickly it became mine as soon as I saw it hanging in her closet (well to be honest I saw it hanging in my sister's closet but it was given to me profusely)!

STELLA MCCARTNEY PINSTRIPED DRESS

I don't really like dresses for special occasions, but I rarely say no to a wool dress for an everyday autumn outfit.

This asymmetric dress by Stella McCartney is everything I am looking for in a dress: it has the perfect length, I love the fact that it's a lightweight knit, the color -navy- is a "must" for fall... do I need to say more?

I am thinking of wearing it with a pair of thigh high boots, like the ones that Margiela designed for his resort 2014 collection (those who follow me on instagram @rngfashion have already seen them) and a big white clutch!

You can find the dress here.
