drawing room: queen bee


don't get fooled by the sweet taste of honey,
don't get too close... it will slowly make you stick,
and before realizing it, you'll be all attached to the honeycomb,
it's too late now,
she's coming,
she'll torture,
she'll sting like a bee.

style icon: Jane Fonda

"This is a really volcanic ensemble you're wearing, it's really marvelous!"









Pretty in Pink
(1986)


I adore this movie.. the music, the style, the clothes, the high-school drama and of course.. Duckie!


Those were the days when people had style!



drawing room: rabbit hole

drawing room: blow me away


that 70's show




This spring season don't be afraid to change your wardrobe a little bit and enter the bohemian atmosphere of Janis Joplin or revolve around Jimmi Hendrix's pshychedelic sounds.. the 70's are back and that is a fact.

Browse into FENDI, Louis Vuitton, Etro, Marc Jacobs and Salvatore Ferragamo's latest collections to get inspired and start building a look of your own: big hoop earrings, exotic rings on every finger, crystals, scarves, feathers, maxi dresses, gipsy florals, bold colors, top hats, peasant skirts and sky-high platforms.

For more inspiration, why don't you order in one night and watch some good old movies like Taxi Driver, Boogie Nights, The Rose and Saturday Night Fever.



I carry the weight of studds on my shoulders


..studds on the shoulders, that's why I loved this shirt from pacsun.. but is this trend going to survive another year?... I've been hearing and reading a lot about throwing studds out of the way, people are getting kind of sick of seeing them all over any garment: shoes, jackets, leggings, jeans, purses, hats, sunglasses.. you name it.

I've always been a fan of studds, even those big chunky studded belts that were all over during the 90's grunge era... I had 2, one black and one red!
As much as I hope this trend could last, I think it's time to move on into another one... Balmain.. I love you, but the rockstar look is starting to get a little used.

What do you think?

keep walking


(wearing forever 21 faux leather jacket and sweater, vintage scarf and dress, steve madden boots)

I stepped out to the streets of this city,
haunted by the creeps of running across your path...
would you pass me by? would you say "hello-goodbye"?
I wish you didn't do either...
a simple look into my eyes would do it for me..
I'd immediately lay dead in the sidewalk..
people would have to jump my body in order to keep walking...
keep walking.. that's what you'd do.
You never looked back didn't you?
