It's spring guys! 

Well, you up there in the sky, nice try, it's almost April but it's been so cold and rainy for over three weeks that I still need to wear gloves (can't be April's fool yet right? Way to early. Yikes).

Being metereopathic, the lack of time to jump on a plane is giving me all sorts of funny thoughts. 

Wolford lacey tights revive Louboutin and Chanel wardrobe staples.

Aspesi winter 2013 black coat, Chanel hat, vintage black Chanel bag Classic Flap in jumbo/maxi size, Wolford black tights Fire Net, H&M black jersey dress.

I couldn't live without wardrobe staples, but I have a feeling that this outfit's standout tights that manage to take the potential boredom far away are a godsend. 

Or maybe it's the hat. Or maybe both. 

And maybe it's also the bag worn crossbody that's unexpected.

Who knows, anyway it works.

Oh, and if you need to justify the purchase of another pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps I am happy to help you plead the case with these pictures.

Equipment shirt with lace sleeves, Jitrois leather leggings, Chanel vintage d'Orsay pumps and bag.

It's all about contrasting textures in this outfit: Jitrois black leather pants and Equipment black silk Quinn blouse with lace sleeves and silk bodice. 

Oh and there is just a touch of - newly rediscovered - beige.

Trendy Sermoneta gloves to show off your jewelry.

A little late winter inspiration today. 

How about short gloves with a special cutout top shape to show off your jewelry? 

With all the trendy arm candy that has been around lately I find this shape of gloves pretty cool.

Equipment blouse, black skinny jeans tucked in Roger Vivier thigh high boots, Metro Bag Micro. All hidden under a vintage oversize coat.

Has the skinnies + silk blouse become women's no brainer everyday uniform?

Kind of.

Mea culpa. That's me: you look decent without too much thinking.

So what I sometimes do to avoid the boring effect is adding some easy unexpected elements. 

Skinny jeans + camicia (di seta) sono diventati un nuovo tipo di uniforme femminile per non scervellarsi troppo su cosa mettere ed avere un aspetto decente?

In un certo senso sì.

Mea culpa. Ammissione: io lo faccio, e pure spesso.

Per cui ogni tanto aggiungo qualche elemento inaspettato per spezzare l'effetto noia.

Roger Vivier Metro Bag Micro shoulder handbag and the freedom of a longer strap.

Roger Vivier black python Metro Bag Micro featuring the iconic buckle created by Roger Vivier for Catherine Deneuve in the movie Belle De Jour. This buckle is usually found on the brand's shoes. Detail of the front and of the long chainstrap that allows messenger style wear if required.

It's the Roger Vivier Metro Bag Micro in black Python.

Yep, I did it. I gave up the everything but the kitchen sink lifestyle and I bought a small crossbody bag. 

Because a small crossbody chic bag gives such a cool factor to any outfit that you even end up walking in a different way.
More relaxed. More edgy. But chic. And I love that allure.

Herno down jacket matching elbow length mittens. Chanel bag and jewelry. Roger Vivier Prismick shoes.

Herno down jacket "short knitted cape" with matching mittens, Hermès shawl "Les Coupés" 140cm GM cashmere ans silk in corail/violet/blanc colorway.

God save stylish down jackets.

In awe of the Bibendum look I fell in love at first sight with this stylish workaround by Herno. 

Dio salvi i piumini.

Però mi terrorizza l'effetto omino Michelin, e infatti mi sono innamorata di questa variazione sul tema di Herno.
