Hey there Pretty Birds,

Here's my latest 7-lips installment, just in time for the Venice Art Biennale (yeah) that kicks off next week. I've been obsessing about these pieces for a few weeks now, and I'm psyched that I'll be able to enjoy some of them in Venice.

From the top left:

1- Rome-based designer Stella Jean is known for prints inspired by her Haitian heritage as well as traditional Africa fabrics, but she also incorporates classic menswear prints like this blue and white striped shirt. Keep an eye out for her, she's one to watch. Find her on Moda Operandi.

2- I think that Stella Jean's striped shirt will look fantastic with Altuzarra's pali printed skirt. I absolutely adored the Altuzarra SS13 collection, and I'm so excited that I was able to get this skirt. You can find it on net-a-porter.

3- You can never have enough inspiration. My art of choice as you can probably guess is photography and I've been waiting for this encyclopedia of 20th century photographers
for the past few months. So excited that it finally arrived this week. Available at Taschen

4- Stripes, one of my favorite trends of the season printed on Lahssan for Façonnable's chic trench. What else could I ask for? And that's precisely why I'm obsessing. Find it over at the Corner.

5- I've been looking for a new statement piece of jewelry for the past few days (have you ever noticed the amazing jewelry worn by artists and art lovers?). This bracelet by artist-designer Hervé Van der Straeten screamed my name when I clicked on it. Say it all at net-a-porter.

6...7- These gorgeous Jimmy Choo pink gladiator/cage sandals will look amazing with Zara's floral print dress which I've been eyeing every morning while en route to drop off my son at school. My dear friend Nai and I are going to Zara this afternoon to get matching ones.

I'd love to hear what you're obsessing over. Shoot me a comment here or on facebook.

Happy Weekend!

My latest shoe obsession: I absolutely "need" a pair of nude pointy pumps. I love the way the creamy nude tone looks on my skin, especially when my feet are tan. They also look amazing with summer jewel tones, pastels, and even the season's most powerful prints. I already have a ton of outfits in mind. Here are some of my favorite versions.
1. Jimmy Choo Anouk
2. B Brian Atwood
3. Christian Louboutin Pigalle 100
4. Prada
5. Manolo Blahnik CC

So inspired by the pairing of prints that Valentina perfected during fashion week. I also love that she maintained the overall theme of the look by wearing the same motorcycle jacket, handbag and wedge sandals. I personally get so excited when I find an outfit that I can repeat with similar basics in my closet. I'll go for weeks exploring how many versions I can come up with. Oh, exploring style is so much fun!
 

Look 1. Equiptment shirt and Isabella Tonchi trousers. Look 2. Neil Barrett shirt and trousers. Motorcycle Jacket by Ance, handbag by Jimmy Choo, and shoes by Celine.

Last week the highly esteemed French liquor and spirit house Cointreau invited Grazia.it to the 65th Edition of Cannes to cover the launch of a special edition Cointreau bottle by Alexis Mabille. The trip consisted of two days of fabulous fun-filled sushi lunches; fabulous cocktail hours, roof –top-terrace after parties; cocktail mixing lessons; and the most amazing, I’ll never forget it, screening of Lee Daniels' The Paper BoyThe experience was amazing! Can you imagine watching a film with its cast a few feet away from you? Nicole Kidman, Matthew McConaughey, Zac Efron, John Cusack, David Oyelowo and Macy Gray, I was totally star struck. To see my full story, head over to Grazia.it. To see some more pics of my looks: 


For the screening of The Paper Boy I wore a Christopher Kane cocktail dress with Jimmy Choo Sandals and a Kookai minaudière. For day, I chose a Cos dress, Valentino hand-stitched lace espadrilles and Givenchy sandals.
