     I never ever wear makeup, but today I felt like wearing red lipstick again. Not sure if it works on my face, though. What do you think?

  This post is all about not wearing expensive clothes from the greatest fashion brands and still looking sophisticated and elegant. It's not about the brands or the price you pay for the clothes, it's about being creative and having a good sense of aesthetics. Stop focusing all your attention on where the pieces come from and start being intelligent! The less resources you have the more original and creative you become! Therefore if someone bugs you, because you don't have a wardrobe full of Prada, Burberry or Alexander Wang pieces, don't worry! You probably have a better taste than those ignorants, because you know how to do intelligent shopping and styling! 

     Oh! Btw. do you like my new coat?

     Nicholas Alan Cope is THE contemporary master of photography! The photographs have a subtle classic touch, almost like Bernini's sculptures. Actually these models do look like sculptures carefully worked on, every pleat looks planned and strategically lightened. His work is almost too perfect to be human. Take a look at the rest here, it's worth your time!

P.S.: I've already ordered the coat, because it was sold out at the store. In the next 3 to 5 days it will arrive and have a special place in my closet! Can't wait!

Coat - Zara (here)

        I've had my eyes on this coat for a long time now, thanks to my boyfriend. This is definitely THE perfect winter coat. It's nude, sporty, clean, sophisticated, elegant, oversize, everything I love in a (hand made) coat. Plus it's not that expensive! 

          Hopefully it will be featured in my next post!

        Richard Kilroy's work is breathtaking... seriously stunning! I love how he focus his attention on the realistic faces and little details from the clothing. It's pure minimalism, because it has the essential information and that's it, nothing more nothing less! The clothes are drawn by the outlines and other structuring lines, but never completely filled and finished. He gives you a hint of how it looks like so that you complete it with your own imagination. It's not easy to leave white elements in an illustration, it takes skills and aesthetics to know where it works. White is hard to work with, it needs texture and richness to stand out. Kilroy uses it when doing illustrations for Alexander McQueen, Rick Owens, Dior, Acne, Versace, Jil Sander, and the list goes on and on!
       I have to do some illustrations as well, therefore I'm hoping they end up as close to these as possible! If they do, I might consider posting some!
       Now tell me, what do you think? Do you like it?
