The Women of Pitti Uomo

Pitti Uomo is all about the boys, but since a couple of years more and more women are coming to Florence for the biggest menswear trade show in the world. And just like all the male visitors, the women dress up to stand out. From Italian bombshells to African queens, from Japanese Lolitas to Scandinavian glamazons... they're all there.

One of my favourites is the "Black Pinup", a lady dressed in forties and fifties style, shown here twice with her partner in crime. (You'll find her on instagram https://www.instagram.com/theblackpinup). I'm also a big fan of all the ladies sporting sharp tailored suits, borrowed from the boys!

Pitti Uomo is a streetstyle photographer's dream... I really don't know any other place in the world that is so oozing style like Florence in january and june! To read more about Pitti Uomo, please continue here: https://tarasdolcevita.blogspot.nl/2013/06/menswear-as-good-as-it-gets.html

Borsalino Fall Winter 2016-17

You guys know I'm a big fan of Borsalino hats. As a hat lover I do think Borsalino makes the Rolls Royce among hats! Just like men's watches, I usually like men's hats better than the women's collections. In fact, I totally fell in love with these gorgeous men's hats for fall /winter 2016-2017.

The colours are so rich...

The ribbons are so chic...

Especially that first fedora, with the large brim in rich blue... wow!

(In case you're interested... it's product code: 212993)

In Between Seasons

Although I love the end of summer (everybody seems to enjoy the sun, the beautiful weather and the beach a lot more when it’s the end of season), I hate that I never know what to wear… one day it’s cold, the next it’s warm again… chilly in the morning, early dark at night…

As a fashion addict I always look forward to the new pre-fall, fall and winter collections, so in a way I can’t wait to put those warmer clothes on again. On the other hand… I don’t want to stow away my summer staples just yet. The result? A mix of summer and winter accessories! A Panama hat combined with a turtleneck, a pair of summer sandals with a felt fedora…

Dreaming in Blue...

My favourite jeans brand (7 for all mankind) inspired me to make a totally blue post: "Dreaming in Blue"! I love blue jeans and I love almost anything blue. All shades of blue. All kinds of blue. By the way... I also love the blues!

Pastel-coloured Panama Hats

This summer Borsalino came up with a large selection of pastel-coloured Panama hats. As some of you may know, I'm a big fan of Panama hats, especially when they're made by Borsalino. Yet, the famous Italian brand still manages to surprise me! How? By splashing paint over them...

The first six hats shown here are from the spring summer 2013 men's collection, the next five from the women's collection. However... I want to have them all!!! I can already see myself wearing one, paired with my favourite bikini, sipping a cocktail on the beach...
