A new tendency for St. Valentine's: vengeance!


Who said that St. Valentine's Day should be all love, chocolates, candelight dinners and romantic gifts? Internet has launched a new tendency on occasion of Saint Valentine's. What do you want to give as a gift? Vengeance. The only condition to put this in practice this new fashion mode is the simple telling of the love story when it ends. And overall, if putting the word "end" is a third party. Love is in the air. But not on the net, where this new fashion tendency was created: the vengeance of Saint Valentine's. Do not be shocked when you go to read phrases filled with hate, replacing the sickly sweet words spent on love. The celebration day intended for lovers from this year onwards will also serve to take a load off one's chest that has been laying around too long. Poisoned letters, flowery funeral wreaths, dead fish: these are the gifts of revenge for Saint Valentine's Day. To partecipate to this new tendency there is really little to do: a touch of proper healthy creativity and a lot, tons, but really tons of the wish of vendetta! The sites are numerous. For example, Poison Pen, that send letters of hate to our "long-lost" lovers. This is the best revenge that you can send to the partner who runs away: a black card with the writing in the color of red blood of the type "I have no words for you" and when the card is opened you will discover a design of a raised middle finger. The message is loud and clear. Or there is Despair.com, which this year proposes a photograph of a red rose with the writing "You were made for me. Maybe from someone who wanted to punish me". Finally, we have the site http://www.thepayback.com/, that delivers dead and smelly fish to that boyfriend, or girlfriend, that has dared to do us wrong.

She is literally the "girl of one's dreams", in this case, it is Beyoncé Knowles.

She was in fact, elected "The Most Desired Woman" in the annual hitlist in the site AskMen.com.

Gift idea for St. valentine's by Tiffany & Co


For those who are afraid to pick the wrong gift and consider a printed t-shirt with a photo of the couple, (a choice that seems too risky), for the next San Valentine's perhaps, the right decision is to fall back on a classic choice, a piece of jewelry, and perhaps it would turn out to be the right pick. Obviously, if selected with the just attention, results anything but trivial and is certainly very much appreciated.

Gattinoni - A homage to women


A true homage to women is that of Gattinoni, along with the stylist Guillermo Mariotti, who bring on the catwalk (seeming a bit like Warhol) to AltaRoma, the Italian answer to the Parigian Haute Couture, that is, magnificent dresses with faces of powerful women, like: Condoleza Rice, Queen Elizabeth and Hillary Clinton.

New Denim




Denim fever has invaded the catwalks and lights up the world of accessories. However, with respect to the classic workpants that later on would become the sexy work uniform of James Dean and the rustic transgression of Marilyn Monroe, in the present day, jeans have become a universe unto themselves. The trend demands skinny and slim-fit like Superfine, or, like the latest fashion look, high waisted jeans. The denim remains the favorite fabric of the modern icons like Sienna Miller and Kate Moss, but waned with regard to dresses and accessories that complete the already rich collection of jeans that are more and more sophisticated. Cleared years ago, the "democratic" curtain made in USA is now welcome even in the most chic of fashionable places and in the boite à la page

Sweet bath


Pleasure for the body and temptation of the senses are united in the tonifying properties or relaxants of bodycream in a playful, sensual, perfumed and at times mouth-watering packaging: the oil is in a form of a roll, the creams are smiliar to the jars of jam that one's grandmother made, to lollypops, and foams are aromatic and frutty. The bathroom-patissiere is a phenonemon in expansion. Here are some other suggestions to transform a moment of relax into a festival that involves all the five senses and then some

Becoming stylists - What a mania!

Now it has become a real and proper trend to propose oneself as a sylist. Overall, in the world of show business, among the VIPs, the tendency to sign their own line of clothing is in constant ascent. In this manner, it is extremely easy in making a name of one's self. Different for those who are stylists by profession, with competence and experienced, are perplexed and offended with the facility that these new "stylists" are labelled as themselves. From soccer players to showgirls, to music stars and also reaching the reigns of nobility (Emanuele Filiberto has a new line of sportswear, with the emblem of the crown of Savoia), who have fun investing their piles of money and making publicity through the use of the locals, magazines and television. Samantha De Grenet had created a collection of talking shirts; also notorious among the catwalks of Seduzioni Diamonds (n.d.r. Seductive Diamonds) of Valeria Marini; the fashion line of intimate wear of Nina Moric or the collections of ex-models that from the catwalks have passed to gripping pencil and paper and dictating fashion. Among these is Eva Herzigova, and like her Mila Jovovic who has given life to a line of clothing together with her friend and ex-colleague Carmen Hawk; or Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Naomi e Claudia Schiffer; and then Elle Macpherson, who from twelve years has continued to sell her collection. Even Brad Pitt in order to resolve a diatribe with Damiani has "immolated" himself, signing a new collection. To these precedents, we can add Penelope Cruz who besides opening an enormous jeweelry store she has allowed herself the luxury to inaugurate in Salamanca, the very cool and "in" neighborhood of Madrid, the atelier "Amarcord". But the craze of the fashion system is not a prerogative exclusive to women. Even Eminem, Jay Z, Puff Daddy, and Bono of the band U2 wanted to launch their own lines of fashionwear: tight-fitting t-shirts, piles of hooded sweatshirts, extreme low-waist jeans, boxer shorts and small chains. PLEASE STOP!

The tendencies S/S have been as of now established and considering the exceptional mildness of the winter season, this year one has the urge for clothes that are light, notwithstanding the winter sales. Try to remember this trend and anticipate the tendency. Skirts will be shortened and the mini-skirts will certainly make a huge comeback with hemlines that are decisively more extreme than usual. Just by glancing at the fashion catwalks, one cannot help but notice that the lengths are dizzingly accentuated and that the focus for the summer look, this year, will be on the legs.

Secret Pon Pon


Secret Pon Pon is a designer label created a little more than a year ago, and already famous in various European countries (Italy, Germany, France, Switzerland and Austria).
Its success, encountered in this small space of time, was initially reached thanks to the invention "Birkin Jeans", a fashion idea bought to life by an Italian stylist couple.
We are referring to a purse made of jean pants fabric, that, instead of being thrown away, is utilized and recycled in the following manner: the backpockets of the jeans become the external pockets of the purse.
Ascertaining by the excellent reaction of the market, the inventors have decided to amplify the collection with other models in different colors and not only in denim (using, for example: potatoe sacks and ecological fur).
Now the production line has become further enlarged with the offering on the markets new products like belts and bijoux.
