Everything always starts with an idea


7 FOR ALL MANKIND jeans
H&M blouse
CASADEI wedges
MARC JACOBS clutch
AMERICAN APPAREL floppy hat
CHANEL necklace
TOPSHOP earrings

I wanted to show you a post a little 'different than usual to answer the many requests I receive from you about how I create an outfit. Everything always starts with an idea, an inspiration of the moment and in this case it’s about the fabulous Seventies and then it goes on in a funny research of all clothing first of all among those ones already in my closet and then looking around in different shops and of course online too. At the beginning there have been these Casadei wedges, seen for the first time on Rachel Zoe’s website, looked in vain for them in boutique and finally found out at Luisaviaroma. The second step was the purchase of a pair of 7 For All Mankind dark washed flared jeans. That Marc Jacobs clutch, however, was definitely not planned, but when I found it in front of me, I immediately thought it was perfect for the outfit I was creating so I could not resist. If you remember, some time ago I had already worn this American Apparel floppy hat, this H&M blouse and this Chanel necklace. Finishing touch, those Topshop earrings purchased online. Et voila...le jeux son fait! Oh I forgot, what do you think about this disturbed vintage effect in the photos?

Ho voluto proporvi un post un po’ diverso dal solito per rispondere alle molte richieste che ricevo da parte vostra su come costruisco un outfit. Tutto nasce sempre da un’idea, da un’ispirazione del momento e in questo caso si tratta dei favolosi anni Settanta e poi prosegue in una divertente ricerca dei vari capi innanzitutto tra quelli già presenti nel mio armadio e poi girovagando nei vari negozi e ovviamente anche online. In principio ci sono state le zeppe di Casadei, viste per la prima volta sul sito di Rachel Zoe, cercate vanamente in boutique e scovate infine da Luisaviaroma. Il secondo passo è stato l’acquisto di un paio di jeans 7 For All Mankind con un lavaggio scuro e svasati in fondo. La clutch di Marc Jacobs, invece, non era assolutamente in programma, ma quando me la sono ritrovata davanti ho subito pensato che fosse perfetta per l’outfit che stavo costruendo e così non ho saputo resistere. Il cappello di American Apparel, la blousa di H&M e la collana di Chanel, se vi ricordate, li avevo già indossati qualche tempo fa. Ultimo tocco, gli orecchini di Topshop acquistati online. Et voilà…le jeux son fait! Ah dimenticavo, cosa ne pensate di questo effetto disturbato dal sapore vintage nelle foto?

Eh eh eh, io di solito invece cerco sempre di rimuovere il rumore dalle foto! Però ammetto che come effetto voluto e con i colori vintage ci può stare! Bellissime le zeppe di Casadei!

Ciao Melissa, ti seguo da tempo anche se non ho mai commentata :) bella l'idea di questo post e stupende le Casadei!
volevo chiederti..hai mai pensato ad aprire una sorta di Melissa's closet Shop Online per vendere a noi tue follower le cose che non indossi piu perche non ti vanno o non ti piacciono piu? L'ha fatto anche Nicoletta Reggio ultimamente! Che ne pensi dell'idea?secondo me potrebe essere una cosa carina :) aspetto un tuo parere!ciao cara, a presto :)

Vanessa said...

l'effetto non mi piace affatto!!avresti potuto farlo su una foto,ma non su tutte!Ovviamente i tuoi outfit sono sempre raffinati e ricercati.Farei un post con questo look? a presto,vanessa!
