Beachwear- KC, an Italian brand







I love these bikins produced by KC beachwear which is a very young Italian company.
The brand was created by two friends, Katinka and Consuelo, whose skills and experiences have given birth today to a quite peculiar and original style. It is an handcrafted production inspired by the colours and scents of flowers.

Raptus and Roses


A very creative Italian lady, Silvia Bisconti, is the mind behind Raptus and Roses, a fashion studio in Belluno, North Italy. Silvia carefully select vintage textile and vintage dresses around the world.
She then design new pieces combining the textiles and the dresses patterns . I love these "frocks" they are unique and very feminine. You can see the available models on the web and follow Silvia on her blog.

Save me from a serious Bensimon addiction







These days I have become obsessed with Bensimon shoes. I have already posted something about them...but the more I wear them, the more I love the way they look on me...
In Lille , France, last May I bought 2 pairs of Bensimon, plus I ordered one more on the internet...and now I would like to have them all...they fit my feet well, they dont smell (too) bad after hours of walking and I love their colours...

At http://www.bottonia.com you can find buttons transfromed into rings, earrings and decorations...
I love the idea...buttons are recycled and different pieces of plastic are joint together...Bottonia is also on etsy.com!
