I love accesories, planning and completetion of the styling is complex, but also a fascinating project. To be ready for summer you must have the right accesories to do it..  love jewelry and I like it BIG! This seasson the collections and colors are amazing!! So I chose my pics of the Hottes Jewelry Trend for Summer 2011. You will see colors, big proportions and unique pieces to die for!

CA&LOU

Two girlfriends and one shared passion: fashion. There’s Carolina who has worked for years as a fashion stylist and has a cosmopolitan attitude and then there’s Berérengère who has a background in merchandising and communications for large fashion companies. One day they met, got to talking and then began dreaming. And they decided that since they have the exact same sense of fashion, why couldn’t they try launching a business that reflects that?

Thus CA&LOU, a line of bijoux by these two highly fashionable girls, was born. Their creations, which were launched on the market about two years ago, were suddenly seen in the shop windows of boutiques of the caliber of Colette in Paris and Browns in London, just to name a few.

Their pieces are “bespoke” and are handmade, using high-end jewelry techniques for bijoux. One can select the materials, the colors and decorations based on his or her personal taste. These pieces are, above all, timeless and evoke the dream, grace and beauty of the icons they are inspired by: Coco Chanel, Lulu de la Falaise, Diana Vreeland, Bette Davis, Wallis Simpson as well as fashion icons like Alexa Chung and Kate Moss.

My fashion view of Florence and St. Moritz

Me, Myself and Moi with my other moi, my beautiful Valeria @Florence!!

In Florence, Fashion is a type of art, that is part of the city's cultural heritage. Only in Florence you can find stores and boutiques of the most important Florentine designers: Ferragamo, Cavalli, Gucci, Prada, Enrico Coveri, Patrizia Pepe, Emilio Pucci, who represent Italian fashion in the world. Through your interest in fashion, Florentine shopping will bring you to Ponte Vecchio that, thanks to its precious jewelleries, represents the heart of the artisan Florence.

Florence has three distinct and unique fashion streets: Via Tornabuoni, Via della Vigna Nuova and Via Strozzi. Each has specialties and its own tone.

The bulk of the best shopping in Florence is on the Via Tornabuoni. The Via Tornabuoni starts at the Arno River and runs north to the Piazza della Repubblica, an ancient Roman forum that has retained its nature as a public gathering place for two millenia.
Via della Vigna Nuova

Perpendicular to Via Tornabuoni, you'll find the Via della Vigna Nuova, with Dolce e Gabbana, La Perla, Lacoste and Ermenegildo Zegna. Mont Blanc is nearby, as is Swarovski, Versus Versace, and dozens of smaller designers who may be tomorrow's Versaces.


Via degli Strozzi
On the other side of Via Tornabuoni, Via della Vigna Nuova suddenly becomes the Via degli Strozzi, where you'll find the Emporio Armani and many other upscale stores, as well as a number of hotels and vacation rental apartments from which you can base your shopping expeditions along the Tornabuoni.

Besides shops, Florence is rich in open-air markets. The Market of San Lorenzo, situated in the center of the city, is the prefered destination of tourists.

The New Market, where one can acquire leather goods and souvenirs, is sheltered under the sixteenth-century Loggia del Porcellino.

At the Flea Market, near Piazza Santa Croce, one can make good deals on small antique items. The last Sunday of every month except July, the market expands into the adjacent streets.

Us presenting our shopping experience @ St. Moritz

St. Moritz is a cocktail of profound natural experiences and urban elegance. The latter includes a unique concentration of fashion boutiques. Via Serlas is the fashion street @ ST. Moritz!1

From Chanel and Gucci to Louis Vuitton. All the prestigious names on the international fashion scene are lined up together. The latest brands to be admitted to the Via Serlas Club vanish like butter on the tongue of every fashion freak: Roberto Cavalli, Ermenegildo Zegna and Polo Ralph Lauren.

The architecture and streamline window displays in these areas are even worth some gawking. Dolce & Gabbanna, Gianni Versace, Cartier, and Gucci are the mainstays in this market

The list of big names in the heart of the village are further complemented by Bernie’s, Escada, Prada and joy. In addition to the many fashion stores, St. Moritz shoppers will also find sparkling gemstones, stylish designer furniture, fine wine and a superb choice of delicatessens.

Hope you enjoy my travel as much as we did!!
