7-Lips #5, a list of my current sale obsessions

Good morning Wednesday's Birds! Are you enjoying your Summer? Have you stacked up on goodies from your sales shopping? I've started with a bit here and piece there, but now that my son is on vacation from school and we are weekending on the seaside, I've really transitioned into Summer sales mode. Come on Birds, we've got 10 gorgeous Summer weeks ahead of us (even if the pre-fall collections have already hit shop windows). That's tons of days to looks fabulous. Here are some pieces that we absolutely need!!!

1 - I loved this season's N°21 collection, and this graphic top was a personal favorite. I'll be so happy  to get it on my body soon.

2 - As you probably have guessed from reading ATPB, I'm a huge fan of PJ dressing. So naturally this top by 3.1 Phillip Lim is everything for me. Right now, I could totally see myself tucking it into white slouchy pants.

3 - Acne's two-tone, assymetric, graphic skirt is a perfect way to show off gorgeous tanned legs.

4 - I know that you may think that this Alexander Wang look of a Leather Croc Embossed top and matching shorts is a bit edgy for me, but I daydream about it all the time. I would wear it with strappy medium heel or flat trekking inspired sandals.

5 - With all the amazing front tie-sleeve pieces on the runway this season, this Antipodium shirt dress is an awesome way to embrace the look.

6 - I fell in love with this Peter Pilotto top last week while styling my friend Paula Cademartori for a video. I had my eye on it the entire time, and I so want to make it mine.

7 - I've totally fallen for 10 Crosby Derek Lam while shopping the sales. These wide leg floral pants are my favorite from the Summer collection, and they've firmly placed the brand on my radar for fall.

Let me know your feelings on this selection, and if there is something else that we absolutely need to get our hands on!!

Happy shopping!!!

7-Lips, a list of my current obsessions #4

Ciao Guys! How are you? I'm on the train heading back to Milan after two inspiring days at the Venice Art Biennale. And while I'm loving the pieces that I picked for my last 7-lips installment, I'm already daydreaming about new pieces. Here's why I love them...

1- Have you ever seen me in anything cropped or revealing? No, right? Why you ask? Because after the birth of my soon-to-be six-year-old there has been so much to celebrate, with tons of delicious wine and yummy food becoming a constant part of my existence. Hence, my not so gorgeous, anti-reveal/crop anything abs. I'm totally O.K. with the situation though (wink and smile). That being said, the crop and cut-out looks that have been making their way down recent runways have driven me to the point of obsession. That white Balenciaga bra-top? Don't even get me started. That's a piece I would purchase (if there were any left) for the sole purpose of owning a thing of such refined and pure beauty. But maybe the tummy reveal is not so out of reach, and maybe I should be a little more realistic and start with baby steps. Like this super pretty floral dress by Suno NY. I like to think of it as the strategic reveal dress. It's cut out at the right height of the torso so that it covers your bellybutton and shows just the right amount of skin under your breasts. I also love the below the knee legnth and pencil silhouette (one of my favorites). Guys! I'm convinced! Finally a cut-out for me.

2- How cute is this CC Skye Love Me Knot bangle set? Perfect for layering with other favorite bracelets.

3 and 7-  As a print lover how could I not love a beautiful Erdem print? This wedgwood-inspired print blouse with touches of neon yellow and black is perfect for this season's blue trend and will look amazing with other power prints like these "Nallie" printed silk pants by Malene Birger. I'm totally obsessed with the palette!    

4- I've been eying these Alexander Wang Agata glow in the dark sandals for a couple months now. My love of white shoes combined with a new-found fascination with pvc are pushing me to the point of obsession.

5- Maybe like you, I've developed a serious obsession for clutches recently. I mean, I've always used them, but now I find myself actively looking for them and not just for the evening. I especially love this one by Maiyet. The color contrast and gold accents are everything.   

6- I was never a big fan of "mystical" jewelry, but I've steadily developed a feeling for the genre over the past few months. I think that seeing a few really strong pieces at my favorite jewelry store here in Milan spurred my interest. And as my fascination grows, amazing pieces like these earrings by the Australian based brand MANIAMANIA are constantly entering my radar. I know I would wear them all summer. In fact, I feel really warm, calm and peaceful with just the thought of myself on a beach with the light at sunset reflecting off the gold chains.

A couple weeks ago someone asked what I wear with my Tom Binn's neon combo. Thanks to my amazing friend Vanessa Jackman, I now have a image to show you. I wear, among lots of other things, a Jil Sander dress layered over a T by Alexander Wang tank dress, a Roberta di Camerino raffia clutch and Prada sandals. Thanks for the image V!
