Today's Love: Black & Blue

Photos by Annina Piana

Over the years the color combo black & blue has become one of my favorites. You're probably shocked considering that I normally wear tons of color and prints. But, even though colorful and brilliant prints are the ultimate eye candy, black & blue are equally appealing.

Far from sober, the mix is chic, rich and makes me feel so sleek that I glide down the street when wearing it. Yes, there is something about the combo that makes me glide. Don't tell me that you don't have style situations that make you glide down streets? You got to find some, it's so much fun floating on style.

The first time the combo spoke to me it involved a black vintage astrakhan coat layered over a floor length silk Calypso dress. I repeated the color combo shortly after that by updating the look with my Balenciaga moto-jacket. That look went on for months. I wore it almost once a week. Sorry that I don't have any pictures to share. This is before I got comfortable being on the other side of the lens.

But look, as I ease into the crisp days of Autumn, I've put a little outfit together for you. I hope you like my Black & Blue.

Chilly Paris Summer Days

I was in Paris yesterday for Ferragamo's exciting 2013 Resort runway show and it was fr-e-e-e-e-zing. I should have been dressed like this instead of a white suit and my lace Valentino espadrilles. I so wanted to borrow this cardigan the moment I laid eyes on it. At least I'm back in Milan now, where it's nice and warm.

NYFW12 Outfits #3

Ok, please be patient with me. I initially planned to publish daily outfit posts during fashion month, but I had a truckload of projects to follow at Grazia.it and stopped posting outfits on day two of NYFW. Also, and as always, I was so inspired by what my fellow editors and bloggers wore, all I want to do is post pics of them. But, I'm finally settling back into my normal routine, have a bit more free time, and plan to publish my outfits as often as possible. So, here's the look that I wore for the New York Times piece.  Enjoy the rest of your evenings! xx, Tamu

Details: Stella McCartney coat, Jil Sander Scarf, Gap Denim Jacket, Rag & Bone leggings and boots, Celine bag and Sermoneta gloves.
