Miss Independent in Sicily

This is what I would like to be. This is what I believe I can become. Maybe it's a little more difficult since I live in a small town in Sicily. On this blog I want to describe how my life here gradually changes and evolves. Describe my little successes and failures. Enjoy!

Fashion, fashion, fashion... and sth sweet in the end : )

This will be a long post. I have found so many beautiful new pictures and ad campaigns I just cannot do otherwise but share them all with you.

1. Patrizia Pepe Firenze advertisement campaign. One of the most amusing and original ads I have seen in a long time. Go to the website and have fun discovering who Patrizia really is, what are her likes and dislikes, what she does in her free time, and many more : )

2. Louis Vuitton Fall 2010 campaign. Oh, it's so adorable. have first spotted it when sitting at the Catania airport waiting for my flight to Milan and flipping through Italian Vanity Fair. Chic, style and vogue together combined with incredible simplicity and the allure of the 50's, that's what Jo loves.

I have recently come across Fashionolgie website which I find absolutely stunning. That's what the website says about Louis Vuitton campaign:

In a follow up to his voluptuous Fall 2010 runway cast, Marc Jacobs selected Christy Turlington, Natalia Vodianova, and Karen Elson — coincidentally, none of whom walked in the collection's show — for the accompanying campaign. "This season we are working with three of the most beautiful women, I think, in the world," he says in the making-of video. "Blonde, brunette, and a redhead." They also span one model in her 20s, one in her 30s, and one in her 40s. This marks the fourth Vuitton campaign captured by Steven Meisel, who constructed the '50s set in a Manhattan studio space.

Here's the making-of-video:

3. Talking about Fashiologie, I'm so glad it confirms and reassures me: socks are in vogue this season! Living in a country where Calzedonia shops are everywhere, not getting a few pairs every season is a sin.

4. A new "outfit" for Evian mineral water bottles designed by Issey Miyake. They are so lovely!

5. Last but not least (and it has nothing to do with fashion, by the way), I followed Nigella's recipe and made these delicious banana muffins! I have sweet tooth but trust me this is a mouth-watering dessert : )
