In A Day Dream

Right now I am really in to menswear. I recently had an interview at Ermenegildo Zegna (the best suit maker in the world for men) for a place as a showroom assistant, which has sparked my interest in mens fashion once again! Im keeping my fingers crossed and hope I will have good news at the end of the week... I found these images by Glass Magazine titled 'Hope is a waking dream' Featuring clothes from the likes of Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Louis Vuitton and Lanvin. Very plain and relaxed in it's styling and photography. The clothes are elegantly styled with a cool laid back feel. The melancholy looks of the models with their distant gazes and lack of colour the mood is very much a day dream. Lets hope I do not need to day dream also for much longer!

Man Day

One of many things that makes me happy in life is when a guy walks past looking really amazing in his clothes - This is a rarity. I can't understand why so many men do not bother in looking good and have this issue about being 'manly' honestly they need to get over it as women appreciate good clothes so I don't know why still today they haven't put two and two together! Anyway done with my ranting here are my tips for a summer outfit for men... The best pants in my opinion are chinos they look amazing on nearly everybody and can match many tops. I think blue and camel are an amazing combination of colours for this season. By adding espadrilles gives the look a summery edge. I found this amazing 'teeth' necklace that I had to add in it's really strange and awesome at the same time. Men of the world please make the effort you look so good when you do!

Home.

Finally term has ended and I can go home back to Cambridge after 4 months of not returning! I am extremely excited to see everyone again but I cant help but remember the English weather.... Milan is so bright and sunny with middle 20s temperature. I will be going back to clouds, rain and coldness... So the big wooly jumpers that have been shoved at the back of my wardrobe need to be found and packed. Sigh. I guess you can't have everything!

Via Tortona Milan

It has been a great week for the Salone del Mobile (furniture design) Obviously getting into the main event at Rho Fiera would be impossible, so me and a few friends decided to explore the outdoor events of Via Tortona! The street had the most amazing vibe with thousands of people and street bars open all night. Furniture show rooms were open and free to visit the new up and coming design talent. It was a really fun evening but you need to get there around 6pm, as the show rooms began to close around 8.30! Unfortunately i'm not going to be here at the weekend to catch the final celebrations, (as i am going back home to Cambridge for easter...yay!) but if you are in Milan this weekend make sure you visit Via Tortona! 

Keeping Up To Date On The Cheap!

Is it just me or is H&M amazing right now? Even though with their recent financial troubles with the rising costs of cotton, their S/S collection hits all the trends of the moment! Today when browsing inside the store their free magazine was available to pick up, the thing that I love most is putting small stars next to looks that I love and create a whole new wish list...again. Im loving the suede shorts with a grey jumper look in the H&M magazine even though its so hot in Milan right now i'm sure once I get back to England for Easter I could wear this combination. I also came across Velvet magazine which is full of information about art, fashion, beauty and interiors for only €2.50! However you need to speak Italian for you to read it..sorry! Their editorials are really creative and each one is very different from the other  I will definitely be buying it again next month!
